RAILROAD DIVIDEND
MARKET FEATURE
Rally in. French Francs Also
Helps to Boost Prices in
Wall Street.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 13.-Up to the
time the news of the S. Southern rail-
way dividend was received the stock
market was virtually stationary,
waiting for the announcement. South
orn railway itself was selling at 50M
when the news Of the dividend broke
y few minutes afterward it struck So.
only for a moment, however. because
then the market was flooded with
profit-taking sales. The great ma
iorityY of the street had looked with
confidence for this So payment.
But there was rumor OF differ
ence of opinion in the management
and many spectators who had paper
profits, took them before the direct
ors' meeting for fear that after all
the action would be disappointins
AS it turned out, the decision of the
board was unanimous.
Rush of Orders for Rails.
The Southern Railway declaration
precipitated n rush of buying in other
of the medium and low-priced rails.
The stocks that were favored We're
those which have been mentioned in
recent comment as fair dividend pros
poets, especially Wabash preferred
a. st. Louis Southwestern common
and Missouri Pacific preferred. Con-
Seaboard Air Line preferred and To
Texas and Pacific.
The unusual activity at higher prices
in Atlanta, birmingham and Atlantic
revived reports that new interests We're
after the property. Rumor was quite
general around the street that the new
interests in question were the Fords.
The strength of the General Motors
group was one Of the chief incidents of
the day. General Motors itself reached
the highest in some time on very large
transactions. Dupont was bid UP quite
violently and there was another spec
tacular jump in Fisher Body to con-
siderably the highest it has yet sold.
New York Dock Wakes Up.
Interest was revived in the long in
active New York Dock stocks. For
the last year or more earnings of this
company have been unsatisfactory,
but recently there has been some i'm
very near equaling that of a year
ago; it was s39.100. Dividend re-
quirements on the preferred, how
ever, amount to s41,600 month, so
that the per cent preferred rate
was not quite covered, according to
the January report.
The two chief features in the finan-
cfal news today were further sharp
recovery in French francs and the
declaration for the first time in the
thirty years of the roads existence
of a dividend on the common shares
of Southern railway.
Although commonly expected. the
S. payment authorized on Sout ern
railway common had not been en-
tirely discounted. There was AZ i'm
mediate jump of 4 points in the took
itself, followed by an active rT rival
of buying in other of the low-r riced
rails. Operations for the rise We're
renewed in the sugar stocks i Id in
various members Of the motor
groups. Otherwise, the general mar
ket proved itself to be in too apa-
thetin n State to he stirred by the
Southern railway episode.

selling orders through commission

prospects of an advance in prices.
The opening. which ranged from Il
to y lower, May 1861 to 1861 and
July 106al to 107. was followed by an
irregular downward swing that in
some cases went 1ls under yester-
days finish.
Corn and oats dropped with wheat,
but corn found vigorous support,
which, at around 79 for May, led to
something of a rally. After opening
at a shade to " off, May 79s to 80,
corn suffered an all-around setback

OIL LEASE RESULTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Rear
Admirah Latimer, judge advocate
general Of the navy, told the house
naval committee today that in De

DENLY it would be legal to enter into
contract with the Doheny inter
ests for the construction of tankage
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, as a part
Of their lease of the California naval
oil reserves.
The admiral said he based his opin-
ion on authority granted the depart
ment by congress in June, 1920, to
exchange oil and provide storage
facilities. This authority, it was
brought out by committee members,
was granted at the request of
Josephus Daniels, then secretary Of
the navy.

The witness said, wrote on the mar.
gin of the opinion opposite the sec
ton discussing exchange and storage
