Fitchourg President's dividend stance shocks markets
The Fitchourg president, labeled a straddle bug, shows a 1886 surplus of 58000 after two 2 percent dividends. 1887 operations yield 31000 surplus, plus 159000 dividend in January, with 281000 carried forward. The Jan 1 1837 dividend wipes the 8000 surplus, boosting reserve by 70000. Local markets were active. Atchison rose to 96 1/4 then 95 1/4, rumors of a syndicate led by Nervy Evans to push prices.
