Dividend ENCOURAGING.

Followers of the rail shares were en-
couraged when directors of the Santa
Fe declared dividend of $3.50 on the
preferred stock. The last previous pay

The stock formerly was on a SIS an

Conferences in Washington regarding
proposals for governmental regulation
of stock exchanges were being watched
closely by leading brokers here Not
withstanding the fact that the governors
of the New, York Exchange have al
ready imposed rather stringent trading
rules, Wall Street is of the opinion
that some sort of statutory supervision

While commission houses generally
fear that profits will be further cur
tailed under Federal regulation, there
Is some hope that public participation
in trading may come back when it is
realized the Government is acting in
the role of protector" by preventing
bear raids and undesirable pool opera
tions. Since the Spring Summer ad-
vance most brokerage concerns have
been barely able to pay expenses be-
cause of dwindling trading volumes.

Wheat, rice, corn and tobacco would
come under all except the option plan
provided for cotton and likewise hogs

agreement method would be the most
likely approach to cattle, sheep and

which Wallace, confident Of coopera-

Corn and oats paralleled the course

application the proposed agricultural
