Dividend and Interest Disbursements in April Reach 164 Million
The April dividend and interest disbursements total 164 million dollars, unchanged from April last year. Dividends amount to 85 million, down from 86, while interest rises to 79 million from 78. Only 450 million of the 900 million in securities maturing in 1915 remain to be paid or refunded in the next nine months. Building activity in 160 cities shows gains in several major centers, though the overall outlook for heavy building remains weak due to labor disruptions. Commodity prices have risen to near their all time high outside the Civil War era, and wheat and rye prospects remain strong given increased acreage. Overall money circulation sits at 3,484 million, with the need to accelerate turnover and spend on productive avenues.
