BY the A.soeiased Press

The Commerce Department
said today that cash dividend
payments reported publicly by
corporations in February totaled
1851 million.
That was SIT million higher
than in February q year earlier.
1t brought combined January
and February dividends this year
to a level S per cent above pay
ments in the first two months of
1854.
The 1882 million paid out in
dividends in the first two months
of this year. the Commerce De-
partment said, reflected a sharp
rise in dividends paid by the A.
nance and public utilities in
duStries, plus a substantial rise
in dividends from communica-
tions firms.
Dividends paid out by manu-
featuring firms rose slightly with
gains by the machinery, chemi-
Gals, paper and printing groups.
