NORTHERN PACIFIC
KEEPS UP DIVIDEND
Surplus Is Used to Continue
2. G. Rate-ElliOtt Looks
for Better Business.

The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany declared yesterday the regular
quarterly dividend of tx per cent. In
financial circles the directors action
brought relief to sentiment regarding
the railroad situation, as the chances
of reduced payment had been widely
discussed. The dividend will be paid on
August l to stockholders OF record on
July 2. Tns annual rate has been z
per cent. since 1903.
The announcement, made after the
close of the stock market. contained the
following statement by Howard Elliott.
chairman of the board of directors:
This payment IS made not from earn
ings OF the property in 1921. which. Ia
common with those of other railroads,
have been on a lower level than In pre-
vious years. but out OF surplus hereto
fore accumulated and not distributed"
In April the road reported net oper-
ating income of s43.564 saved from gross
earnings Of se,732.650 contrasted with
s1.645.419 net and sS.6o2,24s gross in
the strike month Of April. 1920. The net
result OF operation for the first four
months of 1920 was a deficit Of sslS.315.
against s5.15s.326 net operating income
for the same period q year ago. The
gross receipts for the four months ag-
gregated s25.9St,45S. compared with
s34.423.651 for the corresponding period
OF 1920. NO substantial Improvement
is expected In the report for May.
Although no signs OF increased trafiic
have appeared other than the beginning
CT the usual seasonal pickup In tonnage
Mr.. Elliot expressed confidence in the
ultimate recovery OF the railroads and
general business Whether the Northern
Pacific directors will realize their desire
TO maintain the present dividend rate,
he said, would depend largely upon
earnings. An encouraging factor was
the outlook for a good grain crop west
of the Mississippi.
Mr.. Elliott declared II would be OF
great aid TO the railroads. IN tlding over
the present period II Prssldent Harding
exercised the power conferred upon the
President in the Transportation act Of
funding for ten years the full amount OF
the Governments capital expenditures
on the carriers during Federal control
instead Of applying portions OF the Fed
eral compensation against these debts.
Allegations that the roads made un-
warranted increases in expenditures FOR
maintenance in the six months guar
anty period ended August 81, 1920. we're
I'll conceived. said Mr.. Elliott. He said
the Increased outlays for repair OF EQUIP
ment and for new equipment were made
when the railroads were looking forward
10 sustained Increases In traffic, and
when none could foresee that the United
States as virtually the only solvent ma
ton would encounter greatly depressed
business conditions.

REDISCOUNTS CUT
TO 6 PER CENT. HERE
Action Taken by N. Y. Federal
Reserve Bank Is Followed
in Dallas.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York reduced yesterday its rediscount
rate on commercial paper from 61a per
cent. to 6 per cent. and word was re-
ceived from Washington that the Dallas
bank had TAX IN similar action. For the
first time in more than a year the re.
discount rates are now right In line with
commercial money conditions and notice
Is served that there is no more need for
high interest charges by banks to checl;
expansion.
Action by the New York and Dallas
banks leaves only the Minneapolis ano
Chicago banks in the class of institutions
charging more than 6 per cent, for re-
discounts Of commercial paper. 1t makes
the New York rates uniform at per
cent. for all lending operations.
On May 80. 1920, the financial district
was electrified by the announcement
that rediscount rates on commercial pa
per had been advanced from per cent
to z per cent. to decrease speculation for
the rise In all sorts of lines and to halt
the trend toward initiation. For eleven
months the rat stood at per cent and
cognizance OF the shift in monetary and
financial conditions was first taken on
May 4, 1921, when the commercial paper
rediscount rate was reduced to 61a per
cent.
The new change was announced in this
brief statement:
Effective from the opening of busi-
ness on Thursday. June 1G, 1921. and
until further notice. and superseding all
existing rates, the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York has advised its member
banks. In q circular issued to-day, that
Il has established O rate of 6 per cent.

/. It did not come as a surprise to ex-
perienced bankers on account of the
steady upward growth Of reserve ratios

reserve banks combined.
