st. Paul Preferred Not Cumulative

Question: remember seeing a special
article regarding unpaid dividends st.
Paul preferred, which said that number
of years as go, when there was some delay
in paying these dividends. the preferred
stockholders were bic to collect, owing to
some peculiar wording OF the st. Paul by
laws. which stated that dividends should
be paid If earned. even IF the stock Is not
cumulative. Can you tell me il this is
correct. and. If So would it not have q
decided bearing the present passed divi-
denGs III. NJ. c.
Answer-It is specifically stated that
the Chicago. Milwaukee G. St. Paul pre-
ferred stock is non cumulative. The
dividend may have been deferred, as it
has been recently, thus causing hopes
that the amount since the last pay
ment, in 1917, will accrue to the benefit
of stockholders. We believe there is a
very small chance of this being the
case

It was a week of active and excited markets.
 This week the main event will be the governments report on the condition of the crop on August 25. which is due at 10 o'clock Wednesday. Thus far private bu- reau reports have ranged from sS per cent of normal up to 72.5. and indicated crop yields from 12,7eO,OO0 bales to 13- 75O.OOo.
