General Motors Report

The income account of the General
Motors Company in which the dupont
Company and many individual Della
wareans are interested, shows I'M
divided profits for 1918 of 12,905,0 63
after payment of all charges, includ-
ing taxes, extraordinary expenses, etc.
and divided on the 6 per cent pre-
ferred, and the 6 per cent debenture
stock. Profits are equivalent to $8.75
a share on $147,379,000 of outstand-
ing common stock. The average
amount of stock outstanding was
500, 644, 200 which would make the
profits equal to $3.50 a share. In
1917 the common stock earned $34.19.
The enormous increase in total as
sets and liabilities shown in the bal
ance sheet of December 81, 1918, is
accounted for largely by extensive
properties acquired by General Motors
during the year, including the assets
of the Chevrolet Motor Company, the
capital stock of the GAINESVILLE Ma
chine Company, a controlling interest
in the Scripps-Booth Corporation, the
capital stock of the Chevrolet Motor
Car Company of Canada, all assets of
the United Motors Corporation, all
preferred and common stock of the
Lancaster Steel products Company
and all preferred stock of the Har-
risen Radiator Corporation. The total
assets and liabilities advanced from
$133, 1876 ,724 to 1929 ,489,335 during
1918.

Fruit Promises Good

The fruit growers are pleased with
the outlook of peaches, pears and ap-
pies. Examination of fruit buds show
that seventy-five percent are fertile.
The promise of big yields are hoped
for if no late frost comes to blast it.
There continues to be a ,quandary
whether some of the big canneries
will operate in Delaware because sat
isfactory contracts have not been
made with farmers growing peas,
pears, corn and tomatoes.
AT the meetings, which were held IN
Middletown, every cannery In that
section was represented by several OF
the largest growers of sugar corn and
figures have been shown IN the cost
of growing the crop. In no instance
was it shown that, taking the average
crop of the combined canneries, which
was 2B tons per acre, could it be
grown for less than $21 a ton. The
growers all agreed not to contract for
the crop for less than $25 a ton.
Several of the Gamers have intimated
that they will not pay more than $15
and this seems to be too wide a mar
gin for any chance of a compromise.
The tomato situation seems to be
even more uncertain. The growers
have seemed to agree that they will
not grow for less than $25 a ton, and
the Gamers here have made no offer
at all. At Taylor's Bridge a meeting
was held last week, and the owner of
the local cannery agreed to pay $18
a ton. There were no takers at the
price, the majority of the growers
holding out for $25, while a few
agreed to plant a few at $40. The
acreage promised at that price would
not Justify the owners of the cannery
to operate.
The argument of the Gamers for
a lower price is the uncertainty of
the canned goods market, and the
failure of the large brokers to place
any bids for Futures" Under normal
conditions at this time, almost every
Gamer would have sold a large per-
centage of his contemplated pack.
Thus far no bids have been put out,
leaving the condition uncertain.
The growers argue, that labor on
the farms will cost as much or more
than last year, seeds are higher, and
fertilizers have advanced 25 per cent,
all of which adds to the cost of grow
ing the crops, and they can see no
business sense in taking a reduced
price and planting when a loss is
staring them in the face.
The business men hope that there
anay be some way of the Gamers and
Che growers getting together, as the
operation of the canneries, brings
much money Ito the stores, and the
suspension of operations by them
causes a loss prestige to the COM
munity.
