SIGNIFICANCE OF DIVIDENDS.

One brokerage house comes out
with the rather surprising statement
that they do not look on dividend cuts
az "bearish or unfavorable."
1t would be rather hard to conceive
how such action can be considered
publish or favorable" Therefore, the
reduction of dividends, according TO
this reckoning, Is neither one nor the
other. In many cases this Is correct
when the reduction IL known to be
coming beforehand.
Dividends are very seldom cut IN
less directors are obliged to take such
action. Their obligation Ia usually
due to a falling off In business. The
fact that some STOCKS have risen after
such action. because their previous
decline fully discounted IL. has been
the cause OF the belief in some quar-
tiers that smaller return to stock
holders Is unfavorable.
Those shareholders who live on the
income, however. might think other
wise. We wonder how long this
theory would stand the test IL, say
for instance. the United States Steel
directors should announce a reduc-
ton in dividend in July.
No one expects such action. and for
that reason the effect would be dis
astrous. If. on the other hand. traders
were led to expect such action the
stock would no doubt seek a proper
level even before the directors met.

PRICE QUESTION INFLUENTIAL.

II. G. Dun & Co. maintain that the
price question remains highly infiu-
entail and that more stable markets
are essential to a fuller measure or
commercial revival. They declare:
Except in isolated instances, the
more hopeful feeling has thus far
not been productive Of any essential
change in buying disposition, al
though the frequent repeating OF
moderate sized orders serves to re-
duce the proportion OF idle machinery
in certain Industries and to some ex-
tent bolster the purchasing power.
The latter is still limited by unem-
ployment in many directions. but the
widespread closing down of plants
has seemingly been arrested. and
part time operations have been re.
sumed at not few manufacturing

has been modification Of the
quietude Of previous months. and the
prospects for further gradual recov-
cry are brighter. Where liquidation
has been protracted and thorough

conditions is unmistakable."
