GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Some observers yesterday claimed to
nave found conclusive evidence Of steady
accumulation of Pennsylvania Railroad
stock since it sold at tbS low record
OF 32Ss. on Tuesday. April ~. This
was partly suggested in the relative
hrmness of the stock the last few days,
and the readiness with which the price
rallied each time there was a dip under
the 20 mark. Some seem TO think there
mas been big change of heart on the
part OF the management regarding the
dividend, and that when the directors
meet next Wednesday the usual quar-
terly OF q per cent will be declared.
In truth. not few went so far as
to state that pressure had been brought
by some of the most powerful banking
interests TO have the dividend rate for
the present at least maintained. II
was pointed out be these same inter
ests THAT any change in the Pennsyl-
vania dividend at this time would sc
riously interfere with plans already
completed for consideration financing by
not only humber of the railroad sys-
tens, but industrial concerns as well
There was nothing. of course. to pin
down any of this talk as coming from
reliable sources. but in view of the pc
culiarities Of the situation the argu.
ments were botn feasible and plausible.
1t was recognized on all sides that a
reduction in the PENNSYLVANIA dividend
would have damaging results. senti
mentally. and ,here are enough natural
worries to combat these days without
adding new ones which possibly could
be avoided.

Pullman Dividend Safe

Once in while the bear crowd make
bad guess and have to pay for it,
Last week they were positively certain
the Pullman directors would cut the
dividend at least in half. Besides there
was going to be wholesale change in
the management
Their little story was punched full of
holes yesterday by the Pullman di-
rectors when they declared the regular
quarterly dividend of . per cent and
the management announced they were
perfectly satisfied to remain on the job
for another year. There Is no doubt
there has been an exceedingly heavy
falling off in Pullman. travel the last
year. The reaSOn-for il is found in the
almost prohibitive rates now asked for
this additional comfort in travel.
In truth. Pullman cars are almost a
miIlionaire's exclusive privilege these
days, Proof of which is to be found any
day in the esarains running to seashore
resorts. Except on the Broad Street
station trains, the familiar Pullman
chair ear is seldom seen these days.
Why Because they got tired of run
ming down empty cars and, as the Pull.
mans are usually heavy. made that
much harder pulling for locomotives.
o Most of the Reading trains still have
them tackled on TO She express trains,
but the patronage hardly pays for axle
grease and the porter's salary. More
people travel nowadays in day coaches
than ever before,
