A Coming Dividend.
Last fall, when a would-be purchaser of railroad stock called upon Russell Sage and asked him regarding the outlook of certain stock, Mr. Sage replied:
"Splendid idea! That stock is certain to raise fifteen per cent."
"Upon what do you base your calculations?"
"Upon the immense crops to be moved along that line."
The other day the same gentleman again interviewed Mr. Sage regarding the same stock, and the great financier replied:
"Best outlook in the world for that stock! Certain to advance fifteen per cent."
"Do you base your calculations upon last fall's crops?"
