Lord Matthews of Southgate, a British newspaper baron better known as Victor Collin Matthews, the rags-to-riches former proprietor of the Express Newspapers in London, died on his 76th birthday on Tuesday. News reports, quoting family and friends, said he died of cancer at his farm near Saint Brelade on the Channel Island of Jersey. As Mr. Matthews, and starting as a newspaper delivery boy, he made himself into a press baron and the man at the helm of Trafalgar House. He helped build it into an immense conglomerate that owned the Cunard Line and the Ritz Hotel in London, among other holdings. But it took former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to make him a real baron 15 years ago.

The Chrysler Corporation raised its quarterly dividend 20 percent yesterday to 60 cents a share as the company continued to bow to Kirk Kerkorian's criticism that it is not giving enough back to shareholders. Mr. Kerkorian, Chrysler's second-largest stockholder, has been badgering the auto maker for more than a year to raise its dividend and buy back more stock. Mr. Kerkorian initiated an unsuccessful takeover bid for Chrysler in April. The dividend declared yesterday is payable on Jan. 12 to shareholders of record on Dec. 15. Last December, Chrysler increased its dividend to 40 cents and announced a $1 billion stock buyback. The dividend was raised again in March to 50 cents, and the stock buy back was doubled to $2 billion in September. The dividend increase was dismissed as "another small step in the right direction" by Anna Cordasco, a spokeswoman for Mr. Kerkorian's investment arm, the Tracinda Corporation.

Tokai Bank Ltd., Japan's seventh-largest commercial bank, will take over an indebted Osaka-based savings institution in the eighth Japanese banking failure in a year. Tokai will absorb the more than 300 billion yen worth of deposits from the Osaka Credit Cooperative as well as recoverable loans, according to officials of Osaka Prefecture and the Ministry of Finance. Since last December, eight Japanese financial institutions have failed under the weight of bad loans left from speculative real estate lending in the 1980's.
