The stock fell into quietude in the Jast hour and hung about a point below last night's level. It was not until after the close of the market that the announcement was snade that only 2 1 per cent dividend had en declured for the six-months period. The roposed action of the directors scems 1o have fen a close, gecret o that no estimate can be formed of the cffect of this action in the stock market. At the last dividend period tue directors declared 2 per cent on the com- 3 stock. 1 per cent of which was called Jegular memi-gnnual and 1 per cent extra. Eeveral weeks ago the stock was rushed up above 00 by a speculative pool ‘on the allega- tion that a regular semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent would be declared for the last six| months.

C RouSN5 B fshsbis: Totals = Bradstreet's Financial Rnu'e‘w.! % NEW YORK, June 15.—Bradstreet's Financial Review to-morrow will say: Extreme dullness has prevailed in the market all week and speculation seems to be at a complets standstill, It is, in fact, many montha since the amount of commission-house business on the New York Stock Exchange has been at so low an ebb. Investruent values, are, it is true, firmly held, and the current prices in the bond market show that income-yielding securities of the better class are in poor supply and that the demand for them continues to be good, though by no means active. On the other hand, speculative trading Is left almost entirely to the profes- slonal element in the Stock Exchange and the current transactions re t little more than an exchange of contracts between individual elements in the board room. In such quarters there is on the whole a preponderance of bear- ish sent!ment. It {s argued that the political situation is by no means certain. and that from the time the convention of the leading national E:r\iel are held until next November there will a _general fealing of unrest In the business and financial circles which can not fail to ad- versely influence stock market prices, i- road earnings also naturally exhibit in some Tases decreases from the records of last and gre, it {s urged, likely to be influenced by the decreased actlvity of business and the prob- wct of reduced erops. e dr:{hl in the ‘orthwest and what is considered a partial fallure of spring wheat throuzhout Minnesota nd the regions to the westward have also caused some revision of opinion in regard to the presumed permanency of n fact, the action takea on Northern Pacific directors by cent on the common stock in dividena, which was that such conservatism is ever, that stocks do not come out readily and that the operat find it difficult to broduce liquidationr T Bradstreet's on Trade. NEW YORK, June 15.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: renured by recent records and fons of business activity the present betwéen-seasons duliness seems speclally marked and the reactionary movement of prices makes trade look worse than it really Is. Judged by such indications as railroad tariffs and statistics of foreign trade the vol- ume of business doing is considerably larger than a yvear ago, when, it will be recalled, money was cheerfully active. It is true bank statements are considerably smaller than last year's clearings, which undoubtedly included much of a speculative character, this year al- most wholly absent and yet, outside of the metropolis, “bank_clearings are heavier this year than last, The cereal markets have held the bulk of the advance shown last week on the strength bt bad crop reports, but foreign recognition of conditions here has mot sought the direction of increased takings. The acre- age remaining In wheat is littie below that actually harvested a year ago and owing to the favorable conditions in the Southwest and on the Pacific Coast the general average on June 1 fs better than a year ago, but spring wheat, owing to lack of rain, promises much less favorable results. Wool fs dull and on the whole Weak at the East, while good prices have been secured in the West. Manufacturers are not buying because their business is not active and ‘lower rates next scason for men's wear goods are predicted, though leading mill agents will guarantee prices as late as October, er prices for iron and steel have not met expectations of causing a reduction in output and increased stock, though this latter feature apparently has been modified because supplies of high-grade pig iron are still scarce, particularly so at the South. On the other hand low grades are in pientiful sup- ply, with little demand. Further shading of pir iron quotations are reported East and West, and the possibility of a g; per cent restriction of production is reported. Under consideration of leading iron products a significant feature is the expressed desire of large ore consumers that deliverles be held back. Rais and structural steel are still well held, but there is talk of a reduction in prices for the latter product. The other markets are dull and on the whole wealk. ‘Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,678,029 bushels, against 230,- 221 bushels last week, 2,704,471 bushels in the corresponding week of 1898, 4,306,787 bushels in 1898, 2,547,319 bushels in 1597 and 3,020,317 bushels in 1896. Since July 1, this season, the exports of wheat aggregate 191,824,952 bushels, against 218,022,692 bushels last year and 225,212,813 bushels in 1597-95. } The failures for the week in the United States number 180, as compared -with 184 last week, 50 in this week a vear ago, 207 in 1595, 226 in 1897 and 265 in 1896. Failures in the Dominion of Canada number 23, as against 20 last week, 25 in this week a year ago, 19 in 1595, 34 in 1597 and 35 in 1896 * % Duw’s Review of Trade. NEW YORK, June 15—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: A season of declining prices is never wholly agreeable to businessmen whose stocks are losing their values. Yet there are times when the return to the highest prosperity In business is not possible except through readjustment of puifes. The highest prosperity the country had ever reached, prior to the panic, was in 1892, with prices averaging not quite 75 per cent of the average in 1860. After great depression for several years the highest point reached with last year's recovery was ) per cent in March, but the gradual vielding has already returned the general average of prices to a shade less than 75 per cent, practically where it was with the highest prosperity in 1S The outout of iron furnaces June 1 was 206,376 tons weekly, an increase of making the yield only 1638 tons le: the highest point ever reached— But the tons, about 94,000 tons In May, discloses a larger decline than was expected in the new business upon which nearly all the works and furnaces bave now to rely, and reports that works of considerable capacity have already been closed this month seem likely to be cor- rect. Within a week or two the labor or- ganizations and the employers will be dis- cussing new demands for higher wages and shorter. hours and the closing of many works for lack of orders will have much influence about that time. Prices are gradually chang- ing, anthracite No. 1 to $20 and Pittsburg gray forge to $1750, and sales of bars are re- ported there at $150. After the closing of furnaces and works has more nearly adjusted present supply to the demand the fact that many large operations are held back until prices have been readjusted will have its proper influence. Wheat has been advanced nearly 3c with accounts of extensive Injury to growing grain, and the exports from Atlantlc ports, flour in cluded, have been in two weeks of June, 7,957, 167 buthels, against 3.526,501 bushels last year. Pacific exports, 1,515,358 bushels, against 1,055, 512 bushels last year, and corn exports 6,000,462 bushels, against 5,812,959 bushels last year. The active movement from the farmers seems to dissredit many accounts of injury, although receipts have been somewhat smaller than last rear. ¥ Failures for the first week of June were, In amount, $2,118,813, of which $1032,870 were in manufacturing and $§33,23 in trading concerns. Faflures for the week have been 162 in the United States, against 136 last year, and 21 in Canada, against 18 last year. bruary 1. increasa of unsold stocks to 339,480 E *— —_— New York Grain and Produce e — —_— NEW YORK, June 15.—FLOUR—Receipts, 17,300; exports, 24,407; buyers and sellers were 15@20c apart on spring patents, but close to- gether on baker and winter straits, although Gnly small sales were offered.
