NEW YORK, April 2i--The cotton

Gently on expectations Of improving
weather conditions III the South, and
the advance extended to 2o.I5 for May
and 1885 for October contracts. max
ing net advances of about 20 TO 80
points on the active months
There was a good deal of realizing at
these figures and after the first furry
of buying the volume of business ta-
pered of somewhat. but prices held
steady within few points Of the best

vate cables said there had been Con-
tinental and Bombay buying in Liver

Dun's Says Expected Spring Gains
Have Not Been Fully Felt.

Have Not Been Fully Felt.
NEW YORK, April 81 R.-Duns
says the chief characteristics of the
business situation have not changed ap-
preciably, but rather better sentiment
in some quarters has resulted from
moderately augmented activity.
Expected Spring gains have not been
wholly realized, with weather vagaries
and other drawbacks initiating against
fun growth Of retail distribution and
statistical measurements continue to
present sharp contrasts. The various
conflicting data cause natural confu-
sion of Judgment in appraising existing
conditions. yet an undercurrent of i'm
proVen1ent Is visible beneath the sur
face irregularities. Ii appears to some
extent. in firmer commodity prices. and
the unusual buoyancy Of hide markets
is the outstanding phase in this connec-
ton. Labor troubles In New England
mills. arising from wage reductions
have further lowered working forces
there, but the trend Of employment has
been upward in most other sections as
outdoor activities have broadened, oper-
ations in the great steel industry, more
over. do not disclose the decline which
occurred last April but hold at nota-
bly, high level under pressure for ma
tertal from building construction inter-
ests, automobile manufacturers. farm
implement makers and other consumers.
Weekly bank clearings were s12,425.-

so plentiful this week. The price was

mately so cents a dozen. Shrimp have

Lighter receipts and an increased de-

that the taking of immense quantities

When Dividends Are Passed
Investors sometimes find themselves
In the unfortunate position OF holding
stock that has passed, meaning
omitted, Its dividend The stock was
originally bought In good faith for per-
manent holding The motive was the
income to be derived therefgom. But
due 10 depression In the industry rep
resented or 10 difficulties of the COM
pany In question conditions have
changed, earnings fall of and finally
the directors vote To discontinue dis
bursenaentS to shareholders,
The problem then arises Of the dis
position OF the stock Shall 1t b. sold
or shall the investor hold on In the
hope of turn for the better Each
case has to be decided separately. but
In general way the market action OF
the stock Is some guide.
II IL is an active stock and II infor-
nation about its affairs is readily OBJ
tainahle the chances are that the stock
Will have discounted" ~ the Wall
Street phrase is, the passing OF the
dividend long before II actually becomes
a fact Under these circumstances the
rule III 10 sell before the dividend Ii
passed II one IN going to sell at all. A
steady decline In the market price of
any stock forecasts trouble A yield
greatly above the average throws doubt
on the stability Of the dividend, When
these conditions obtain the safest
course IN to liquidate the investment
at once.

the adverse dividend action has been
