LOCAL TRADING

American Stores Sells OH on
News of Increased

The local market was a rather draggy
affair in the absence Of fresh speculative
stimulus. Price changes were mixed,
with most Of the recent active leaders
showing an Inclination to droop. This
was especially noticeable in American
Stores, which dropped back to 11sR.
as against yesterdays top price. The
increase in the dividend rate to n Z per
cent per 'annum basis, seemingly was
discounted in the recent perpendicular
rise. Even on "A per cent dividend
basis the current price Is higher than

who have been following the remarkable

New York, May 1S.-The cotton mar

based on better weather in the South
west. Liverpool bought considerable at
the outset. There were sixty Eight
