When directors of Southern Railway Company meet tomorrow it is now believed that they will place common stock on a $5 a share annual basis. It had previously been considered probable that ia $4 rate would be instituted. The company has only 600,000 shares per cent. non -cumulative preferred stock on which annual divtrequirements total $3.000,000. A similar rate of $5 'a share on common outstanding would call for an annual, disbursement of 000.

dividend requirements would amount to $9,000,000, with the common on a $5 a share annual basis, as compared with net 0 after charges of over $15,000,000 last year. It is pointed out balance applicable to common dividends returned in 1923 aggregated 1998, or more than twice the common dividend requirements it a $5 annual rate was inaugurated. FINANCIAL.
