For Auto Industry
Messages of High Optimism
From the Presidents of
Many Concerns Read at
the Buffalo Convention
From d star 1,o,vesoonaens

BUFFALO, Sept. f4.--At 4he ap-
proacf Of the normal period of sea-
sonal slump in the automobile trade
leaders of the industry from all parts
Of the country sent messages Of high
optimism which were read to-day at
the second days convention of the
Motor ard Accessory Manufacturers
Association convention at the Hotel
Lafayette here.
The teiegraph7c communications
were transcripts from the actual busi-
ness experience Of presidents Of auto
mobile companies, rather than empty
expressions Of hone.
Edward s. Jordan, president of the
Jordan Motor Company, predicted that
there would be scarcity Of new cars
on the market next year. "Here is the
reason" he said. "There are only a
few manufacturers and dealers in this
business who are smart enough to
know that If you expect to have
merchandise to sell when it is in de-
mand you mast build a few days or a
few weeks before IL you expect TO de-
liver it. Those manufacturers who
follow the policy of keeping produc-
tion up during the winter will always
lead. We look for substantial cIoses
car business through the winter and
the biggest demand you ever saw be-
ginning with the New York show"
Sees Slackening This Year
Predicting a 30 per cent slackening
in automobile sales before the end of
the year, an estimate which some dele
gates considered ultra conservative, A.
Erskine, president of the Studebaker
corporation, prognosticated that next

Believes Cuba Will Pass
Loan Legislation Soon
Conditions There Improving,
Says Island Manager of Ma
sional CITY Bank

Legislation authorizing S50,000.0o0
Cuban loan and making effective the
financial reforms urged upon the Zagas
Administration by General Enoch
Crowder, representative on the island
Of the State Department, will probably
be adopted within the next month or
so, in the opinion of James H. Durreli,
manager in Cuba or the National City
Bank, who has jhst returned to New
York, This amount, he said yesterday,
should prove sufficient to take care OF
all the floating debt of the Cuban gov
ernment, it being planned to divide
the proceeds of the loan TO payment
of past due wages and salaries, con-
struction of additional roads and other
purposes.
Questioned as to the accuracy of re-
ports that General Crowder had pre-
sented an ultimatum of ten days in
which his legislative program WAS 70
be adopted, Mr.. Durrell attributed this
impression to the fact that the general
had urged early action, as be was
planning vacation trip to New York.
Mr.. Durrell said that American
goods held for payment of duty. in
bonded warehouses, representing ship
ments during the period of infiations
declined by consignees, had been re-
duced to about s9,oO0,oo0 These, he
said, would probably be sold by the
government to obtain the duty at the
end of twenty days, although they
could still be re-exported. He said
that conditions on the island were inn
proving, following the recovery Of
sugar prices, and that the banks had a
good opportunity of making up part
of their losses. American tariff pro-
posals, he reported, had aroused bitter
feeling on the island, but he doubted
if the increased rate would retard the
progress of Cuba toward prosperity.

information you may have on the Owen.
wood oil Company and whether you would
recommend the purchase OF their stock?--
II. +. 8.
Answer--Nct income before Federal
taxes of the b. r, Goodrich Company
for the six months ended June 30, 1922,
was S1,3t2,000, about half the preferred
dividend requirements Net profits of
$3,0b2,918 were reported for the first
six months of the year by the United
States Rubber Company. After allow
Ing $2,720,o00 on the per cent pre-
ferred stock, the balance of $332,918
available for the 81,000,000 common
stock was equal to about 41 cents a
share. In the first half of 1921 the
company reported deficit of near
ly $5,000,000 after interest and
other charges. The latest avail
ternational Mercantile Marine Com
pany, so far as we can learn, is that
for 1921, which shows balance after
preferred dividends of S1.157Ie3
Equities for the stock on December
81, 1921, after deducting all reserves
and 21,72d.500 (42 per cent? on ac-
count of accumulated unpaid preferred
dividends, amounted to S59,861 ,436
available for the common stock, equiva-
lent to about $l20 share. Business
this year has been somewhat unsatis-
factory and President Franklin has in
timated that the prospect of paying ar
rearages on the preferred stock was
slight. Whether dividends on the pre-
ferred are now being earned will hot
be known until later financial state
ments nre issued. The Owenwood Oil
Corporation is reorganization of the
Invader Oil and Refining Company Of
Texas. The stock recently was quoted
at II to ID cents bid and Is to 20 cents
asked. We would not recommend the
purchase of this stock.
