j
firmer Attitude on the Part of Lenders
Due to Haturday'e Bank Kxhlhlt.
The local money market was Inclined

to the unfavorable showing; of the banks
last Faturdsy. This firmness was not
manifested In any notable change In
rates, although the average rate for call
funds was 3 V Per cent, as compared
with 2' per cent, last week, but rather
In t greater unwillingness on the part
of lenders to maks loans at present rates.
Howeer, the demand continued vary
limited. It la BUKIfested that now with the
long expected call for the condition of
the national banks out of the way the
lecenl drain of cash throURh the Sub
Treasury fur the account of Interior Insti
tutions may he less of a factor In the
loral money situation. There was little
change In domeatlc exchange rates yes
terday, while foreign exchange, continued
the sagging tendency which put In Its
appearance at the close of last week.
Money on call, on the floor of the Stock
KtrhaiiK loaned at 2'i and 2Yi per cent,
and closed at 3 per cent. The bulk of
the day's transactions were done at 2", 4

at 3H to 4 per cent, for prime single

Great Northern and Northern Pacific
f-Tf "ot Jf "Dart physically and since
ine Northern Pnclnc panic In 1S01 they
nave not been considered far apart In
ownership. They run from tho I.akcs
to the Pacific coast, have tcrmlnnls In
tho same cities and ordinarily prosperity
for one means prosperity tor tho other,
each depending on much tho same traf
fie as tho other. In tho first six
months of the current fiscal year
Great Northern Increased Its freight
earnings by 31,586.756 and Its pas
senger earnings by JU',101. In tho
same period Northern Pacific's frelKht
earnings decreased by 1600, 2!6 and Its
passenger earnings by $1,258,497.
Jn response to questions about North
"n Pacific. James J. Hill 1ms often said
iiennrr nn omccr nor n
luircior or mat company. Ills personal
(counsel. Col. Clough. Is ii director of
.sormern racinc and his son, James J.
Hill, Jr., Is vice-president and a director.

jointly controlled ny tile two others. Now
nun me same community lias gone to
uiniy.-Hng me earnings of tho companle:
' Rone io wondering whether or not
is nomenclature Is bad
At least one oflloar of Northern Pacific
and a very prominent officer h Is
has lwn complaining that Unfile 1ms
been diverted from the Northern Pacific
u wit ureal rvormern. He lias sub
mitted no more specifications than those
contained In the first araj,-rnh mid has
not snld how Mr. Hill or any of his
closest relatives or nssoclntes could remi-
iaic any uivcmiMi or traffic without con
splcuous notoriety. He has simply rclt
crated that his road was suffering and
that Its supposed ally was prospcrliiK.
The only concrete thing he lias presented
In substantiation of his story Is the flR-
ures. u is obvious enouKh that the flK
ures do not appeal to him. '
Conjecture comes easy fuim the Hps.
It was guessed yesterday thut the Oreat
Northern. Mr. Hill's pet railroad from Hie
beginning of thing, derived Its pront
from an application of Mr. Hill's ability
to the business of that road alone. If
tliero has been a dive ralnt. nf I ftln l,
was suggested that Mr. Hill's early asso
ciates In Great Northern, notably Lord
Rtruthrona and other-titled centlemen of
the Candlan Pacific who were closely as
sociated with "Plain Jim Hill." befoie the
C. I It. was thought of and have al
ways retained an Interest In Great North
ern, had something to do with It. Other
people recalled that not an ounce of Great
Northern's 71,000 ton rail order was
placed with the I'nltcd Stutes Steel Cor
poratlon and detected a motive there.
Probably most of these guesses were Idle
and far from the point. Hut for what
ever reason there has undoubtedly been
friction. Ip the future the earnings of
the two Hill roads will not be exhibited
In such sharp contrast.
Hepubllc Iron nnd Hteel passed the
dividend on Its preferred stock In July,
101. and the stock sold down to 3.
Yesterday the stock sold at 66 'i, though
It rallied to a fraction above 67 subse.
quently, and long after the close of the
market It became known that the com
pany had decided to defer payment of
the dividend. The meeting of the direc
tors was a Ions one and some or them
preferred a reduction to 4 per cent, to a
paailng or the dividend. The decision tu
defer the payment was a compromise nnd
the ZVj points difference between the low
point of 108 and the low point of 1912
may represent the difference between old
and new Wall Street parlance. Thatwaa
the cynical auggcBtlon. As a matter of
fact, the dividend record of rtepublto Steel
Illustrates the advantage of the formerly
popular Wall Street "resiliency." Twice
before in its history thn company hat
passed the preferred dividend, but tho
preferred stock Is cumulative and stock
holders have had no unreasonably long
time to wait before securing their back
dividends.
Lehigh Valley Coal Sales stock sold
at 210, the high record price. It was
seml-offlcially announced that all hut nn
Insignificant amount of the stock had
been subscribed for by stockholders.
They had the privilege of accepting stock
of a market value equal to mora than
320 a share on the stock of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company or 310 a sharo
In cash. The Insignificant part of the
Coal Sales stock Which was not taken
by the stockholders will be taken at par
by the underwriting syndicate which
serves without uuii)pi)katlon. Not all of
the details of the contract between the
Coal Sales company and the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company have been worked out;
but It was aulil that the new company
would brgln business March 1.
None of the securities of companies
operating In Mexico has been greatly
affected by the news tof revolutionary
outbreaks In tho republic, though It ban
been reported that the Intercontinental
Itubber Company could do little busi
ness on account of the disorder and that
the Southern I'aclflo had suspended work
on lis Mexican lines for the same rea
son. Very likely the reason Is that Mexi
can adversities were discounted by the
security markets last yeur. Intercon
tinental Itubber then declined about 0
per cent, and has not slnco recovered
the loss, and Southern Pacific remains
not far above the low prlco of 1911,
At any rate. Southern Pacific has not
endeavored to continue construction since
the revolution last year, It lost forty
four bridges and many miles of rails
then and the management has not slnco
boon convinced of the Drudence of ven.
lunns more money.
Since th dissolution of the Standard
Oil Company ten of the separated com
panies have declared dividends payable
In the first quarter of the current year,
The largest dividend was that of tint
Standard Oil of New Jersey 38 a alia're,

We offer at!" a prlco to net about 5.15 a first
mortgage gold bond of the Central Arkansas & East
ern .Railroad Company, guaranteed as to principal
and interest by thoSt. Louis and Southwestern Rail

The strength of tho guaranty is indicated by tho
fact that tho current earnings of the guarantor are
