 A contract involving s26,0O0, ,oO0 has been signed by the Foundation company with the Greek government for the drainage of the Vardar ba- sin for agricultural purposes. A loan will be foated in this country and abroad. The contract is said 10 be the largest industrial project ever carried out by an American com pany in the Near East and covers $40 square miles.
 The Philadelphia company and affiliated companies increased May net earnings after taxes by $ll6,402 and for the first five months this year gained S729,614 to sS,7S5,74S. Wall street statisticians estimate that there are only 45 days supply of gasoline stocks in storage as against so days supply at this time last year. So great has been the demand for the refined products this year that the oil trade is said to be looking for another general advance of 1 to 2 cents a gallon in gasoline prices. This probably will be followed by an increase in Mid-continent Crude. 1 Recent strength of the rubber is- sues has been predicted, in part, on the steady advance in crude rubber prices to the highest level since 1 l1917,and tho growing belief that an- other general upward revision of tire prices is coming next month. The popularity of balloon tires and their widespread substitution for the old styles have been an important factor | in the heavily increased consumption of the raw product.
