Speculative Interest Centered in Electric Storage Battery Dividend Aotien ft 1 "ft 1M ft 1ft ft H U. O. I. van the bright spot of the local market. Possibilities of an In crease In the dividend rate supplied the incentive for the renewed buying, which while neither actlve or of large volume according te observers, was of en 1m presMvc character. The mere Inter esting side was found In the relative sennt supply of nteck revealed In the ndvnnce te Bl, This was nn overnight gain of "i, but 94 n share nbevc the low mark reached In the reaction last week. The revived tnlk of a higher dividend rate unquestionably was inspired by reason of the recent incrense made in the common dividend rote of the Pub lic Service Corporation of New Jersey te nn 8 per cent per annum basis. TIiIb naturally will fntten the income of the U. 0. I. from thn source. It 1 nlse known cnrnlngs of the properties out side of Philadelphia nte running well above lnt year, nnd at the same tim by reason of the lower cost of mnterlat, the less In operation of the Philadelphia plant will be cut deun materially. Superficially these facts would seem ingly point te, nnd warrant an Increase in the present dividend rate of 4 per cent te either a f or 0 per cent per nnnum btiRls. Financial interests, however, closely allied with the man agement question the wisdom of alter ing the dividend policy until mere satisfactory arrangements have been reached concerning the previsions of the present lease with the city, or until a new leuse has been provided. In n point of Interest probably F.lec trlc Storage Mattery commanded mere direct nttentlen because of the fact of the action en the dividend this after noon. Am the directors de net meet in New Yerk until 2:45 o'clock announce ment concerning Iho dividend will net be made public property until after the closing. There was still a confi dent feeling that either an increase in the regular rate would be made or nn extra declared. In better Informed circles the belief leaned tewnrd the latter action. Thnt Is te say they looked for the regular 75 cents and nn extra of the tame amount. The trading in the stock was actlve with an early ndvnnce te S1r.
