The Automobile Industry

A close range view of the state of
the automobile industry in Cleveland
is presented by the Cleveland Trust
Company, which says: "One important
company reports that July operations
were 18 per cent above the manufac-
turing schedule; this plant is booked
to capacity until the first Of the year.
At some other plants, however, produc-
tion has been cut from % to 80 per
cent Or more. All companies report
that new sales have fallen off, and
where operations are being maintained
unchecked it is due to the large amount
of untitled orders. The most drastic
curtailment in buying has appeared in
the West, Southwest and the Far
Western states, and In small communi-
ties where the bankers are unable or
unwilling to finance dealers or sales.
The general wave of retrenchment in
purchases is also reducing the demand
for cars. Except for a few exception
ally popular makes, prompt deliveries
are obtainable on most cars. Reports
from leading parts and accessories
plants indicate that the demand from
automobile manufacturers has slumped
about Is per cent at some plants and
sa much as so per cent at others."

international Traction Co.
Stock Increase IL Planned

E. c. McDougal, chairman of the
protective committee for holders of
collateral trust I per cent gold bonds
of the international Traction Company
has ISSUED notice that new para
graph has been added to the protec-
tive agreement, announcing that the
committee shall have power to cause
the stock of the railway company to
be, increased from $l6,707, 500 par
value to an amount equal to 95 per
cent OF the principal amount of the
per cent bonds of the traction COM
pany, which are now or may hereafter
be deposited under the agreement.
Voting trust certificates are to be
issued and the committee proposes to
offer to each depositor of a $1,000
bond the opportunity to purchase 5000
IN principal amount of the refunding
and Improvement per cent bonds for
S100 and accrued interest and also the
opportunity to purchase voting trust
certificates of 91a shares for 500.
1T is also proposed to sell at these
prices to underwriters and others such
OF the per cent bonds and certificates
as are not taken in accordance with
the offer. The proceeds will be ap-
piled to payment of obligations of the
committee, and the remainder turned
over to'the company or trustees.

May Borrow s15o,ooo,o 900

In banking circles, it is expected
that France Will borrow as large
share of the s25o,Oo0,oO0 obligation it
must meet in connection with the
Anglo-French loan as American bank
ers are ready to underwrte. The upper
limit is believed to be S150,000,0 900. 1t
is said that France would prefer to
have the new obligations run no longer
than five years, and would be willing
to pay high rate, possibly 8 per cent,
including the bankers fee. The sue
cess of the proposed loan, in the opin
ion of investment bankers, will depend
not alone on the rate, but also on what
is described as the "riggings." By this
bankers mean that special attractions,
such as exchange features and. redemp
ton privileges will have to be relied
upon to sell the issue. 1t was explained
at the French Financial Commis
that there is no chance of any sale
of the French tobacco monopoly being
made before October is, when the
Anglo-French loan natures. This state
ment was made to deny gossip to the
contrary

Cutting Tire Production

The same authority says of the tire
industry: "The Akron tire and rubber
industry is rapidly adjusting itself to
new conditions of supply and demand.
Operations during July were curtailed
as much as SO per cent at some i'm
portant plants. Although sales since
the first of the year have been in ex-
cess of the same period last year, they
have not equalled expectations, and it
has become necessary to reduce current
production very materially below sales
in order to reduce inventories to
proper proportion. In line with
diminished production receipts of raw
material decreased nearly SO per cent
at some plants in July, as compared
with June. 1t is significant that raw
material which was selling around 81
cents pound in 1914 is now quoted
at between 30 and 35 cents a pound.
Mill and Office organizations at some
plants have been cut in half, with the
result that the supply and efficiency
of labor have increased vastly, and out
put has not contracted in proportion
to the reduction in operatives"

Welcome PIeases Parmentie1

After ming1ing with bankers again
during his second day in New York,
Jean v. Parmentier, special envoy here
Of the Minister Of Finance Of France,
late yesterday asserted that he was
more than pleased with the cordial
reception he had received in banking
quarters. He had luncheon at noon

1t is difficult to find any one south

over the stock market outlook. The

tell you that while industrial stocks

American Linseed

Wall Street looks for an early an
nouncement regarding the negotiations
for the sale Of control of the American
Linseed Company to Lever Brothers
the English soap manufacturers. Sew
eral weeks ago President Adams of the
linseed company sailed for London to
close the deal. Lately reports came
through from London to the effect that
Lever Brothers have raised large
loan in Holland. According to the gos-
sip Of the Street the loan was put
through to provide the funds to buy
control of the American concern.

Dullness in the stock market usually

and consequently the business of being

come anything but profitable. The pro
