1916 Profits Reflected
By Higher Dividends
In First Quarter
By Edward c. Stone

Dividends paid on 66i common
stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange during the first
quarter showed marked improve
ment over 1916, more than half Of
the issues increasing their payments,
the Exchange Magazine states.
At the same time distributions
we're reduced on % issues and elm
mated or deferred on % others.
Most of the dividends were earned
in 1915. the magazine points out,
adding that 1t is too early to assume
that the same dividends will prevail
throughout 1947.
The average gain was a. per cent.
Dividends of building material con-
Germs were UP 46 per cent; chemi-
Gals, 36: garment corporations, 40;
paper and publishing organizations
96;. retail merchandising, s5; rubber
manufacturing, Id; textile concerns
lat, and amusement issues, So.
The autonotiye gain was less
than per cent.
Rail Revenues Show Gain.
Sixteen. Glass / railroads in the
Southern region estimated that Their
operating revenues In March In
creased above those In March, 1846
by 6.6 per cent. Freight revenue was
estimated to have increased 16.1
per cent but. passenger revenue de-
creased 429 per cent.
The sale of Norfolk & Washing
ton Steamboat Co. stock at 100 was
the first transfer in this issue this
year. The last sale in 1916 was made
at 1872 and the high for the year
was 2l1.
Rejecting the sharp drop in quo
tations on the New York Stock Ex-
change, IA issues on the Washington
Stock Exchange are now selling al
or near their 1947 lows. However
little stock is being offered.
Wholesale Trade Improves.
The Richmond Reserve Bank re-
ported that sales of 207 wholesale
firms in the Fifth District showed
an average February gain of "a pei
cent over the like 1916 period.
The best gain was registered ir
electrical goods-10l per cent; auto

Peoples Savings Slump.
Peoples Savings slumped to $16,'
100000, 900 last year from the alb
normally high $4,000, ,000, 900, il
1945, the Commerce Department re-
ported today. The drop was du'
to price rises, more goods to buy
more buying on credit and the dis
appearance of wartime pressure'
to buy savings bonds.
The report said holdings of Wa.
Bonds declined $50,000,000 in 194t
but holdings of F and G bonds in
creased by $4,000, 100000 and timt
and savings deposits went up S..
