ANNUAL DIVIDEND
 OF COTTON BELT
None Has Been Announced. But One is Expected On Preferred Stock.

While official confirmation is un- obtainable, banking circles in close touch with the affairs of the St Lou.s Southwestern Railway Com pany assert that an initial dividend of 1 per cent will be declared on the preferred stock of the company be- fore the close of the current year. At the same time it is stated that the results of this years crops along the lines of the company will play an im- portant part in the final action taken. It is understood. however. that crops in the states tributary to the St. Louis Southwestern are looking fine and give promise. unless some un- foreseen calamity occurs, of large yield at the coming harvest.
 Weekly and monthly gains are be- ing scored in gross earnings, the third week of May showing an ex- pansion of nearly $1S.000. which brought the total increase for the period from July up to $62I'1S. Those thoroughly familiar with the property say that it is confidently ex- pected that returns during the first three or four months of the 1910 fiscal period will be so favorable as to warrant the establishment of 1 per cent quarterly dividend on the preferred issue early in November.
