BUSINESS is BETTER;
OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Trade Journals Say ForWard
Orders Are Coming In.

The improvement in business condi.
tions continues slow and irregular. ac-
cording to the weekly trade reviews.
The continued rise of iron and steel
products. the decrease in unemployment
the further expansion of building oper-
ations and the improved position OF the
agricultural interests are all reasons
for brighter future, they add.
Apart from the broadening of ac-
tivties, which develops with the ad-
vancing season. there is an increasing
disposition in various quarters to under
take deferred commitments along con-
servative lines" according to Dam's
Recietc, "and forward transactions are
becoming a more potent factor in some
industries. Competition for orders. how
ever. has narrowed profit margins in
different instances, causing a closer
restriction of outputs in certain cases
and the greater discrimination in pub
lie purchasing is reflected in price re-
cessions in consuming channels"
Big primary markets like Boston
and New York fail to show much gain
in the textile trades and the cotton mill
strike has depressed trade at several
mill centers in New England" says
Brddstrects. philadelphia, heretofore
tagging, sends in the best reports in
regard to textiles and Baltimore notes
that Southern buying is more confident.
on the other hand, detailed reports
from Southern cities show only slight
relief from depression"

yesterday that his trip was entirely for

was no connection between his jour-

for the development of Persian prop
critics was being worked out. All of
its details are being developed in this
country, he said. Reports that the

those of certain other automobile COM

of certain companies of much larger

The move in Columbia Gas yesterday
was directed by interests which for
considerable time have been endeavor-
ing to bring about a market recognition
of the companys improved earning
power. Their inability to do so was
due largely to a big block OF the stock
In not too secure hands. which ap-
peared to. be hanging over the market
and made 1t impolitic for the group to
advance the price too rapidly. The
block. 1t is understood. was taken care

whereupon the move was started under

GREAT NORTHERN
net $11.A A SHARE
Preliminary Report Shows
Gain i'm Last Years Income
Of $28,469,926.

The Great Northern Railways pre-
liminary income statement for 1921
shows net income of SOS, 1863, 926 after
taxes and fixed charges. or $1n4i
share on the $249 AT ,l5o of it's outstand-
ing stock. With the assistance of Fed
eral compensation and the six months
guaranty the company's return on it's
stock was S.74 share in 1920, but on
the basis of actual operation in that
year there would have been deficit
of $2,70S,000 before dividends. The ex-
cellence of the comparison of the 1921
income account with that of the pre-
ceding year was due largely to aug
mented dividends received from the
company's Burlington stock and to
sums paid by the Government in settle
ment of the guaranty period, although
not a little increased income was ac-
counted for by reduction of its operat-
ing ratio from 91.2 per cent. to 79.5 per
cent.
The chief figures of the Great North
ern's tentative income account for 1921

From its Burlington stock the Great
Northern received dividends OF $2l,
$50 in 1921, an increase of 17,505,02O, COM
pared with the sum received from that
source in 1920, which accounts for the
major share of the gain Of s24.92o,s4o
shown in incorporating income. Al
though the statement does not detail
the items of that income 1t is probable
that the remaining $7.415.920 increase in
other income came from the Govern
ment in the form OF settlement of ac-
counts arising out of the six months
guaranty period.
Unless the Burlington pays more than
the presumably regular 10 per cent.
rate neither the Great Northern nor the
Northern Pacific will have any surplus
from their Burlington dividends In 1922
after applying them to the interest on
their purchase money bonds. At that
rate the Great Northern would receive
s., $40, of which ss.050,000 would be
needed TO meet interest on the $115,-
100000 of per cent. bonds, into which
half of the joint collateral 61Rs were
converted last year. The excess of Bur-
lngton dividends. after payment of in
terest charges in 1921, was approx
mately s15,SO0 900 for the Great Northern
and s16,00o,000 for the Northern Pacific.
The Northern Pacific's preliminary
1921 statement, published a few weeks
ago, showed Sc. .065. 800 in net income after
all charges, or $3.50 a share on It's CAPT.
tai stock, in contrast to $3.50 in 1920,
earned with the aid of Federal compen-
sation. With Federal credits excluded
it's earnings in 1920 were Sill a share.
