Ptieelore Ft Upon a Per Cent. Basts tfwr the Coxptaton Btoek. Wall street lntere.t centred yesferday around the meeting of the dlreotora of the Chicago, Milwaukee and 8t Paul Railroad Company. i which waa held In the company's offlees at 30 ' Broad street, to act on the semi-annual divl- I denda upon the common and preferred stocks j ot the company. Before the meeting rumors were rife as to what would be the dividend declared on the common stock. The annual report of tho company, leaned a few days ago. showed that more than 84 per cent, had been earned upon the stock In the fiscal year, and many Wall street speculators anticipated that the oommon atook would be placed upon a 6 per cent, basis. The laat previous dividend declared on the oommon atook In April waa 3 per oent. "regu lar" and H per eent. extra, . . When VIce-PreRlaent Frank B. Bond left (he directors' room at 2:30 o'clock he an nounced thut the directors had decided to de clare a regular semi-nnnual dividend of 2, ner eent. on the common stook. They also de clared the regular semi-annual dividend of 'A per eent. upon the preferred stock. Upon receipt of thla news there waa a wild rush of more than 100 messengers and reitorters who had been waiting In the cor ridors. They tumbled down the stairs, piled Into the elevators nnd ran for telephones. The news reached the floor of the Stock Ex change in short order, and was the signal for a selling movement In Bt. Paul stock which sympathetically nffectod the entire (took list. Ht. Paul, which had touched 116, declined ranldly to UOM, a loss of 44 points. The other so-called Granger shares all weakened materially, and, although partial rallies en sued, the unsettled feeling oontlnued to the eloee of business. The laat sale of Bt Paul was made at UOK. While the dividend deolared waa a disap pointment to speculators, It actually repre sented an Improvement In the regular llvidend rate, which has been 4 per oent. Conserva tive financial Interests construed the action of the directors favorably on the ground that there could jo no question about the atook be ing able to pay 5 per oent. and that it could be classed aa a high-grade Investment se curity whose yield at that rate could be safely depended upon, whereas If the rate had been made 0 per oent. there might have been some doubt as to Its standing.
