be bright. Heavy selling developed on

This selling was thought to be based

Market Opinion
The Nickel Dividend

Paine, Weber & Co. said yesterday:
international Nickel common stock
dividend decision is scheduled for May

that officials may conclude to suspend
payments entirely for a time. War
taxes have been extremely severe, as
levied both in this country and in
Canada. Great prosperity has been
due to war demands, and decreased re-
quirements following the peace negoti-
atoms, together with the steel trade
depression, have resulted in unsatis-
factory trade conditions.n
