Conservation of Resources in

The Chandler Motor Car Company's
report for 1921, issued yesterday, proved
the wisdom of conserving resources In
prosperous times 10 tide over periods OF
depression. The company's total income
amounted to s1,94S,530, a fall Of $685.
1919. or nearly so per cent. from the
1920 receipts. Even under this handi-
cap the management was able to absorb
a writeoff Of inventory to the extent of
S779.434 and show a profit OF s4f.O17.
against S4.213,111 the year before.
The company's working capital, built
up IN the big seasons OF 1919 and 1920.
permitted the payment OF all current
obligations when they fell due. Federal
taxes amounting to $4,000, 000 were paid.
The directors thought we'll enough of

S1.960.000. Of which all but $4t,Of7. the

BOND NEWS AND NOTES.
New Haven Gets Federal Lonr

WASHINGTON. March .. - The New
Haven Railroad was given to-day formal
permission by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to enter negotiations with
owners of its European loan bonds look
ing to a deferment of their maturity
date from April 1, 1922, to April 1. 1925,
and to offer the owners an increase in
interest rate from per cent. to per
cent. Bonds of the loan outstanding
amount to 69.672.000 francs and S14,-
11S,000. The commission announced
later that it had granted the road a
loan OF s2,75S.000 to assist it In meet
ing the maturity of It's European loan.
The commission withheld a complete de-
cision on the application of the road
for s31,0o0,000. which 1t originally sug-
gested might be needed to finance the
maturity. but allowed tho amount named
@ assist 1t In refunding operation. by
which the holders Of the bonds will be
asked to extend them for three years
and will secure an increase in their in
terest rate to per cent.

CONVERSION SENDS
UP VICTORY NOTES
New Issue at 100 1-2 and
A 3-4s Above 100.60-Sub-
scriptions Pour In.

The opportunity for holders OF Victory
AZ per cent notes to extend the matur-
ity from a possible nine months date
through the option OF the Government
to call such notes on December ! next
TO a maturity OF four years from date
was taken so favorably yesterday In
Wall Street as to cause a substantial
rise both In Victory ANS and the new
notes on a when issued basis The con-
version is provided by the new issue of
four year Az per cent Treasury notes,
TO mature on March IS, 1926
This is the first time that a Treasury
note running longer than three years
has been issued. and the new notes can
be obtained only by holders of AZ per
cent Victory notes, which will be ac-
cepted at the Federal Reserve Banks
at par and accrued interest in payment
for any OF the new notes subscribed for
and allotted. The purpose OF the extern
sion offer is to provide for the gradual
retirement of Victory notes pursuant
to refunding plans, and the fact that
the exchange offer is attractive is
proved by the market In excess of 100h
for the new notes when issued and by
the sales of Victory 4As above 10000
1t has been argued that 1t would be
lfflpOSSlDle Tor tne treasury department
to call for payment on December l,
1922. all of the s2,9lS, 900. 900 outstanding
Victory AIS. that it would be imprac-
ical on account of advertising and
other expense to call for a part OF the
total. and hence that none will be called
on December ].
The fact is that the Issues OF AIS are
divided into classes ranging from $780,
900. 900 to 800, 900, 600 each. running from
class A to class G. or thereabouts, and
that 1t would be an easy matter for the
| Treasury Department to pick out any
one or more classes and call such a
class or classes on December /. There
IS no information that class or any
other class will be called on December
!, but the presumption is that one or
more will be called for payment at that
| time. Consequently any one must re-
gard his holdings as OF potential De-
cember 1 maturity and act accordingly.
Offering for subscription of $3.50, 900 900
or thereabouts of AZ per cent Treasury
certificates of indebtedness. due March
10, 1923. lis expected to be heavily over
subscribed. judging from the volume OF
subscriptions poured in on the first day.
The exchange offer involves no cash
subscription payment consequently the
drain on liquid funds applies only to the
S2oo.OOo,oo0 certificates. which Is a rela-
lively small total to be offered
