NEW CREDIT METHODS
ARE NOTED BY SIMMONS
ny the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14-Amer-
lean business more and more is f1nanc-
ing itself through brokers loans and
credit methods are being revolution1zed,
President E. H. H. Simmons of the
New York Stock Exchange told the
New York Credit Mems Association in
an address here last night.
Speaking at the associations annual
Fall banquet, President Simmons char
acteriZed the change from commercial
paper and unsecured bank advances
for financing business turnover to bro
kers' loans as an innovation" prob
ably sound and desirable, but requir-
ing just as careful judgment.
II cannot myself believe" he said,
that American business is worse off
when it has adequate credit and cap
ital than when it is inadequately pro-
vided in these important respects. Yet,
under the new conditions, we must all
see to it that the extension of credit
is Judged no less carefully than it has
been in the past. However the tech
nical conditions under which money is
loaned may be changing, the funda-
mental necessity of avoiding unsound
extensions of credit will, Of course, re-
main"
He suggested that the changes were
due to the development of America as
a creditor Nation with a surplus OF
capital and credit, accumulation Of
corporate surpluses by American COM
panieS and the common practice OF
such companies in lending unneeded
liquid funds in the call loan market.
Brokers loans have In consequence
expanded" he said.

Northwestern ROADS
SHOWING IMPROVEMENT 7
Ial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 14.--An ex-
ira dividend of so cents a share, de-
clared yesterday on the common stock
of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
Co., is the first recognition to be made
of the general improvement in railroad
earnings this year in the Northwestern
territory.
The directors of the Northwestern
have been cautious in paying out por-
ton of their increased revenues adopt
ing the policy Of continuing their COM
mon stock at a regular 81 a year rate,
while paying an etxra half per cent in
stead of placing the stock on a full 5
per cent basis. 1t is expected that an
other extra similar to that authorized
yesterday will be voted six months
hence If conditions continue to be as
favorable as they now appear.
In the nine months to September 30
the Northwestern increased its net
dends by $1,655, 900 over the same period
in 1927. There will be progressive
rate of increase in the final quarter of
this year.
1t is believed that there is a fair
prospect of both Northern Pacific and
Great Northern raising their dividends
to 6 per cent as soon as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission deter
mines the merit of the proposed con-
solidation plan which would unite the
Northern lines, but leave the Chicago
Milwaukee g. st. Paul to fight its own
battles alone.
The Union Pacific holds a consider
able block Of Chicago & Northwestern
common stock and eventually is ex-
pected to control the company If the
tentative merger arrangement is car
ried out.
Another railroad to resume dividends
yesterday was the Rutland. whose di-
rectors authorized the payment of /
per cent on the preferred stock after
dividends had been suspended since
January, 1927.
