parlance from the standpoint of the
stockholders of a conservative man:-
in dividends amounts that would
tent that unexpected emergencies

Judge Gary pointed out that the

company it would be a mistake to
comply with theserdemands if there-
by the reserves should be impaired
in any way. It was much butter in
his view that dividends should be
maintained steadily at a fair rate
through good times and bad than
to have large extra disbursements
made at irregular intervals.
. it is the speculator who makes
his profits the ups 'and downs of
the marks who approves of the
large extra. dividend which in the
nature of things cannot be‘ kept up

Beware of the shares of a com-
pany which pays excessive dividends
L or which does not keen adequate
cash balances. When business deé
