Some business has been done, reports the Tokyo paper, in new Ningpo cotton at Y. 34.50 whereas Tien- tain cotton which is superior, is is quoted at Y. 37.50 and is expected to rise to Y. 40 in symp. athy with American and Indian. Formerly the difference between Tientsin and American on the Japan market was 12 to 13 sen; the f.ct that it is now 20 se7 points to a probable rise of Tientsin cotton. Waste cotton is now also making of bigger yara to save the on the decrease as it is used for cost. Demand for it is all the more increasingly affected by the rise in genuine cotton. The above fact coupled with keen demand

There are £,300,000 of those 6 per cent, cumulative *preference sharea, interest on which is paid free of tax up to 18. 2d. in the £. On the basis of last year's earnings the interest was covered three times. while the dividend reserve set aside for the preference holders is equal to two years' dividends. The shares are quoted at about 19, which is not an extravagant price. War orders have wrought swonderful change in the affairs of the United States Steel Corporation. For 1915 the common shareholders rec-ived no dividend at all, but subsequent business proved a› briek sad re- munerative that the corporation is now paying the largest divid- end in its history. In respect of the June quarter, besides repeat- ing the previous quarterly divid- end at the rate of 5 per cent., it is paying an ex'ra dividend of 1- per cent. (actual). Total earnings for the quarter amounted to
