by figures collected from the auto re-

Out of each dollar which the garage

Twenty-Five cents is the s,.are Of the

If the garage hands get a 10 per

books as of the C ose of 1923. Wall Street
already Is speaking as 10 the showing the
company viii make. and a much smaller re-
duction IN untitled orders than had been ex-
pected is predicted. Real Improvement in

until about the end Of January. This Is
because Of numerous adjustments resulting
from cancellations Of orders and the elimi-
nation OF old orders carried for some time
against which no specifications have been
filed. All of which appear in the statement
for Dec. 81. Favorable factors which are
expected to show up in next weeks state
ments include orders contracted during the
closing months OF the year which can for

more than half a million tons of finished
steel were placed early in November for first
half of 1924 delivery. These VIII be alllo-
Gated ca prO-rata basis over the first six

smaller reduction in forward business in the
