REGULAR DIVIDENDS

Wall Street Draws Conclusion
From Remarks Made by

NEW YORK, February 11.-what
appears to be an intimatioh that the
regular quarterly dividend will be de-
clared next Wednesday on American
Telephone 8, Telegraph capital stock Is
given in the annual report of the COM
pany for 1882, published today. As
Telephone stock has been steadily ad-
vancing recently. it is apparent that
Wall Street takes the same point of
view, which is good news for the 1000
odd shareholders in Americas largest
public utility enterprise
The passage in the report which sug-
gests that the company will continue its
policy OF paying per cent dividend
in spite of the fact that this Is not
being fully earned, is to be found in a
discussion by President Walter s. Clifford
of the financial policy followed on the
past and which has provided the cor
poration with large reserves to meet
just such an emergency as 1t now faces
During the Al years of the exist
ance Of the company" says Mr.. Gif-
ford, 'it has never made large profits
but it had by January /, 1882, accum-
ulated, by careful management and con-
servative financing, surplus amounting
with its proportion of the surplus OF
its associated companies, to 500 pei
share Of its stock outstanding. The
company has never in any year prior
to 1882 paid out all Of its earnings in
dividends, payments to stockholders
being limited at all times to reasonable
regular dividends"

STOCK LIST FIRM
At SHORT SESSION
Rail Shares Prove Feature in
Light Trading-Sugar
Group Gains.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK, February 11.-Except
for two or three weak spots, prices were
steady IN todays week end stock mar
ket. Trading was restricted as to vol
ume by the snowstorm and consisted in
a large measure of evening up commit
ments prior to the double holiday.
Railway shares, as is customary now
adays, gave the best account of them
selves. Car loadings were up 11,104
cars on the week, a gain almost entirely
due to increased traffic In coal. The
total, nevertheless, was 90,731 cars
down from the same week in 1882,
showing how far the carriers have to
go before they recover business COM
parable to that of a year ago.
The leaders today were Louisville G.
Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line, each
of which set new high mark for the
recovery.
Next to the rails the strongest group
was the sugar stocks. Here the in
centive was an almost spectacular rise
in raw sugar futures.
In midmorning sugar quotations were
up to 9 points in the most buoyant
market that staple had enjoyed this
year. The response in the stock market
was most evident in South Porto Rico
d1lu SSltldl faSulI, OOIll VI IilcIIl Scll-
ing around their best previous prices.
Tobacco shares rallied on the news OF
the cut in the price of cigarettes. which
had been discounted marketwise.
The weak spots included Union Car
bide at the lowest this year, Safeway
Stores and Curtis Publishing Co. In
the case of the first named the selling
seemed to indicate doubt about the
dividend.
The rest of the market fluctuated
idly back and forth. Oils did little
better, but the net changes were small
Sentiment was improved by the elaborate
plans to stabilize the industry, as an
nounced in the statement by the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute.
Union Oil of California reported net
for 1882 equivalent to 73 cents share
on its capital stock. This was an i'm
provement on the results for 1881.
Considering the nature of the news
the steel stocks held well. United States
Steel was not much changed on the
day and although National Steel was
Off fractionally, there was no selling OF
Importance.
Aside from sugar, commodities were
quiet. Wheat and cotton were higher
most of the time.

Decrease in Stocks Of Metal May

CLEVELAND, Ohio, February IL
With iron ore stocks at Lake Erie docks
and consuming furnaces nearly 1000, ,000
tons lower than year ago, an in
crease this year In ore movements
from Lake Superior mines was fore
cast in the trade today.
J. F. Frogett, of Daily Metal Trade,
announced that a survey Of reliable
estimates Indicates THAT lake ore
shipments this year win range between
5000 900 and 1000 900 tons" or around
10 per cent of the record movement of
65, ,0O0, 900 tons in 1929.
Shipments last year were 1857, 900
tons, the lowest for any year
since 1886.
Figures given out by w. L. Tinker,
secretary of the Lake Superior Iron
Ore Association, show that on Janu-
ary there were 81, ABS. 900 tons of ore
at Lake Erie docks and furnaces, COM
pared to 100000 tons year ago.
Despite the lower reserve now than
year ago, however, Tinker estimated
that by May there will be seven or
eight million tons more than the
0,0O0, 900 tons normally ON hand at
that time on the lower lakes.
