Profits In Oil

Since November, 1920, the refining
branch of the oil industry has been
conducted at loss, according to evil
dence submitted to~the Senate Com
mittee on Manufactures, which is in
vestigating the oil business. The in
dustry as whole, producers, refiners,
transporters and jobbers-made an
average net profit last year of little
more than 4 per cent. A computa-
ton based on the available balance
sheets of oil companies representing
all branches of the industry, recently
made ty the American Petroleum In
stitute, showed that m 1921 these COM
panies earned S156,815,711 on total
net valuation of 1851, 10000, or Al
per cent. The unfavorable showing of
the refining companies, according to
the Institutes report, was due to the
fact that products of crude petroleum
other than gasoline, namely. fuel and
gas oils; etc, which amount to about
10 per cent of the total products of
crude. had to be sold at prices which
did not represent fair share of the
cost of production

feature of market session which was

few minutes of trading jumped full
point between some Of the sales until
it reached 140, the highest price since
the period from 1915 to 1920. The RAJ
pidity OF the rise suggested that il was
accelerated to some extent by short
covering, although there arc factors
which financial interests believe war
rant high price for the stock. These
include the reported consideration Of
a capital readjustmcnt plan involving
tho splitting up Of the present capitali-
zation so that stockholders will receive
two shares of new no par stock for
each share now held. Late in July the
directors increased the annual divi-
dend rate from 81 to an So annual
basis. 1t is said to be the intention
of the board to pay SIS share on the
new stock, or the equivalent
of $40 share on the existing issue.

What's Behind
44ctiUe Stocks?


P. Lorillard Company is another
stock displaying a wide disparity
between market value and tangible
assets valuation. While the market
holds the stock to be worth about
1854, the net tangible assets applic-
able to the common December 81,
1921, were equal to only $71.90 a
share. The difference is explained
by the value of years of advertising
of many brands of tobacco products
and the establishment of broad
market for them. The item "Trade-
marks, brands ETC., is carried at
more than $21, 100000. This item,
undoubtedly including goodwill, to-
gether with earning power, is
tangible asset having inestimable
value. Lorillard was Incorporated
late in 1911 as a result of the

manufacturing leading brands of
cigars, tobacco and cigarettes. These
plants are carried at $8,607 900.

were reports that the company is con-

be some difference of opinion among

this time. The common dividend was
passed in September, 1921. The COM
pany has never paid more than per
