Western Electric
Company Does
Record Business
Plants Busy ON War Orders,
Which Prove Less Profitable
Than Normal Work

Tho Western Electric Company did
the largest business in its history in
1917, according to the annual report
issued yesterday showing gross sales
of s15O.3dO,3 ,359, compared with $780,
9S6,617 in 1916, an increase of A. per
cent. The balance available for divi-
dcnds after all expenses and charges
over 1916. After allowing for the divi-
dcnds on the preferred stock there re-
maincd balance applicable to the 150,-
600 shares of common stock, equivalent
to approximately $40 a share, against
$9.49 a share in 1916.
Extraordinary taxes called for a
charge of Sl,073.11l last year, com
pared with S587,05O in 1916. A reserve
fund Of S2,ooo,ooo for contingencies
was set aside on account of tho large
merchandise investment and the pre-
vailing high costs. At the close of the
year orders on hand were S1,95O,O00 in
value less than the preceding year. The
average value of an order filled dur
ing 1917 was Sl07, compared with $70
IN 1916. The company increased its
shop force from 1928 to II $40 en-
ployes.
H. b. Thaycr. in his statement to the
stockholders, says the business of the
company in 1917 was larger than in
any previous year, both as regards the
sale of its own manufactures and in
tho sale of merchandise not made by it
"In our own manufactures the dc
mands from regular customers were
very heavy at the beginning of the
year, but as the demands for equip
ment to meet emergency requirements
directly or indirectly caused by the
war have increased, the ordinary re-
Ouirements have decreased, so that tc
large extent q more expensive and
less profitable business kept us busy
during the latter part Of the year
Therefore, while the profits of this
class of business have been larger
than in 1916, they have not, as com.
pared with earlier years, been in pro
portion to the increased investment in
the business"
The report makes no allowance fol-
return from foreign investments. lr
the case of some information is en-.
trely lacking, according to the prcsi.
dent, and in the case Of others the
facts arc incomplete. At the entrance
of the United States into the war the
company practically placed its cngi
neering department. at the service OF
the government. On such orders as
the company is undertaking for the

ings in 1917

Operating revenues of the Norfolk e.
Western Railway Company in 1917 ag-
grcgated $65,910, ,212, according to the
annual report issued yesterday, an in
crease over 1916 of S6,460, ,26O, or 1887
per cent. Total operating expenses Of
the company were SAL .161 ,5O3, an in
crease Of 81 1,652,771 over the preceding
year, or 22.8i per cent. Net revenue
from railway operations aggregated
$24, ,74S,738, decrease OF 81 1880
from the preceding year. Deduction
for tax accrualS amounted to $685.
900, an increase of $2,615, 600, or 105
per cent, compared with 1916. The
company paid $9,632,619 in dividends
on the common stock last year, an in
crease of $488, ,2Sl.
The movement of troops and of war
munitions and supplies was an impor-
tant factor in increasing the operating
revenues of the road, according to n.
There was much larger volume and
a longer haul of freight other than
coal, and in the last half of the year
a better rate per ton mile was re-
ceived. The ratio of operating eX-
penscs to operating revenues increased
last year from $3.50 per cent to 62.45

Day by day the stock market
grows thinner. 1t is, apparently,
drying up in anticipation of the i'm
pending campaign for the flotation
of the third Liberty Loan, and there
is little prospect of a renewal of
activity before the loan operation is
coN.ptc I'D Outside participation is
at a minimum, and trading is con-
fined .Aixay to four or five of the
favorite speculative mediums. Yes
terday, foc example, nearly three
ffths or the total transactions was
in five issues, and even in these Is
sues the changes were fractional.
Ono thing which makes for market
soolidity is the money situation.
Though banks have sharply cur
tailed loans to non-essentials the
supply Of credit for essential pur-
1ses has not sufficed to meet the
emanA: and the result is that banks
have been extremely reluctant to
make time loans on Stock Exchange
collateral while at times the supply
of call money has also been rather
scant. Fortunately, real squeeze
has been averted by operations of the
money pool. The situation is fur
ther strengthened by decision of the
pool to supply funds for time loans,
to tide Stock Exchange borrowers
over until the loan has been foated.
This does not mean that there is 60

they will not have to dump securi-
ties on the market because of inor-

might have prevailed if the banks
had not intervened.

Announcement that the Council
Of National Defence has appointed
a committee on price fixing presum-
ably is preliminary to broad extern
sion OF government control over
commodity prices. Presently we
shall have fixed prices for all basic
commodities, perhaps even for cot
ton, though that commodity, which
has risen more than almost any 9th
or and now stands at record level,
has been immune so far. 1t was in
cvitable that price fixing, once start

fixing there is. as q banker puts it,

we shall have the spectacle Of the

namely, that for labor, and all the
