DIVIDENDS DECLARED.
BIG INCREASE IN GASOLINE
DEMAND EXPECTED

Every indication points to a large
increase in the demand for saso-
line in the next few years. The
probable registration of automo-
biles In the United States on De-
cember 81, 1921, will be 10000, 900
cars. according to an estimate in a
report to the American Petroleum
Institute. This is a gain of more
than so per cent over the present
registration Of nearly 1900. 600 cars.
The report states that there are.
100000 tractors in the United states
and that the number Is rapidly in
creasing. The growing number of
stationary engines constitutes a.
further demand which the pretro-

CROPS AND BUSINESS.

Crop prospects in the Western
States are improved; among the
most encouraging of recent develop
ments is the betterment in the
wheat crop outlook. The total
wheat production for 1920 is esti-
mated by the Department of Agri-
culture at ISL, 100000 bushels. The
indicated crop Is almost a fifth less
than the crop of last year. but 1t is
only a little short of the average
the three largest crops In our his
tory. with the exception of Last
years. The condition of the cot
ton crop. however. was ga per
cent Of normal on May IS, an
nounced by the Department of
Agriculture as the lowest mark on
fits record for fifty years. The pres
ent will be the sixth consecutive
short cotton crop, and may be the
smallest of all of them. The
freight congestion Is being relieved.
but Improvement has been slow,
and fresh strikes Of yardmen are
not helping matters. Against these
unfavorable factors stands the
amazing manner in which our ex-
port trade sustains itself, in spite
Of transportation and financing
hardicaps.s Not only was the ex-
port excess in May the greatest in
six. months, but the exports them
selves were the greatest ever re-
corded for May, and with three ex-
ceptions, the greatest for any
month in our history.
