Net earnings during 1928 of s21s.-
600 after provision for interest, taxes
and depreciation, were reported by
the directors of the Mount Vernon

The earnings were made during the
first half of the year, according to
Howard Baetjer, the president. the
second half witnessing material
slackening off in the demand for the
companys product. The total pro-
duction was approximately so per
cent of full normal capacity.
The depressed condition which still
prevails, Mr.. Baetjer's report ex-
planned. is due in part at least. to the
high and fiuctuating cotton prices.
1T is nevertheless felt that, taking
the year 1924 as a whole, the duck in
dustry should show an improvement
over 1922 and 1928" he adds. I'm
less industrial conditions over the
country generally become bad, the
operations for the coming year should

SHIPPING OUTLOOK DARK.
Boston Regrets Passing of Steam
ship Company to Receiver.
RnST0N March q (Snecian -Sh

BOSTON, March % (SpeciaD.-Ship-
ping men here feel that the outlook
is somewhat dark for New England S
intercoastaI steamship trade. This
feeling has been heightened by the
passing of the North Atlantic and
Western Steamship Company into the
hands of a receiver. The Nawsco lines
were organized four years ago and
operated nine vessels between the At
lantic and Pacific. Shipping men say
competition on this trade route has
been too keen for New England lines
TO survive it. The Crowell and Thur
low line passed out of the picture last
fall. Ten million dollars was offered
for this latter line during the war, but
although its property was mortgaged
for only s1,425,0 900. only 100000 re-
manned after the sale of its ships to
settle merchandise accounts. A re-
prieve in the shape of an advance in
intercoastal rates effective within the
next ninety days came too late to save
the Nawsco lines.
