Prospects for resumed dividends at United Dry Goods
The failure of H. B. Claflin Co and the liquidation of O'Neill-Adams Co hurt United Dry Goods Companies financials and forced a preferred dividend and reorganization. Immediate prospects for resuming the first preferred dividend are not bright as the plan names Jan 1 1917 as noncumulative and management will likely conserve resources until the new entity Associated Dry Goods aligns its finances.

The market sentiment turned bullish on robust earnings, pending war prospects, and a potential arbitration in the railroad wage dispute, while copper demand postwar and steel earnings fuel optimism for continued gains.
