 Ketchikan's Chamber requested the local group wire for similar action to Delegate Dan Sutherland at Washington, but this request was anticipated and telegram sent last night.

Corporation News

NEW YORK, May S1-The following
is today's summary OF important cor
poration news prepared by Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
News Trend.
Business induces of the week made dis
tinctly unfavorable contrasts. Bank
clearings at leading cities for the f1ve
business days declined 225 per cent
from those of like period a year ago.
This is the poorest showing made in
any week of May. At New York City
clearings were 27.4 per cent lower, while
aggregate for principal cities outside
New York declined 1913 per cent below
year ago. Commercial failures totaled
416, compared with 480. For six days
Of previous week the daily average was
slightly higher. In the like f1ve-day
period Of last year, 374 insolvencies were
reported. The weekly mercantile re-
views see little change in general state
of trade, industry and commodity prices.
Unreasonable weather has retarded
trade and some crops. Adherence to
cautious policies continues, with most
buying commitments for immediate or
early requirements only.
The Industries.
Leather-OperatlonS In the leather
and shoe industry, broadly viewed. are
on moderately lower basis than in early
months of 1929, and substantial i'm
provement Is unlikely before Autumn.
Shoe manufacturers are In the strongest
position, although outlook in this branch
is somewhat clouded by probable tariff
changes which, II carried out, would
likely force such concerns to operate on
somewhat narrower margin OF profits
until offsetting economies could be
effected. Demand for leather Is smaller
than year ago, and near term prospects
for tanners remain unfavorable, with
indications that elimination of weaker
units is not far OF.
Mining and Smelling. with
out exception, miscellaneous mining
and smelling companies witnessed
profits shrinkage this year, as COM
pared with favorable first quarter, 1929.
This condition resulted both from
greatly reduced sales volumes and from
the sharp decline in prices for metals.
Aggregate net income Of the nine pro-
ducing concerns thus far reporting for
March quarter was 29.4 per cent small
er than in 1929 period. Second-quarter
results also are running well below
year ago and returns for the entire
first half doubtless Gwill fall substan-
TALLY under 1929 levels.
Retail Trade-April sales of $50 de-
partment stores in 267 cities increased
per cent over same month, 1929. Part
of gain Is attributed to Easter business
coming IN April this year and March
last yeaG For four months to April
30 sales were 4 per cent below 1929
period --..--l---..--i-=

The Hog Market.
The hog market has huctuated some
what in line with cattle prices. Down
to 10 cents on Monday, and still 10
cents lower on Tuesday, hog prices
went up to 10 to is cents on WedneS-
day for a top of $10.50, which was q
little better than the best price OBJ
tanned for some time. There Is a faint
indication that hog prices may be
creeping up, but they still range around
$40.
The lamb market has picked up q
little, due principally to small supplies.
The Colorado lamb crop, gathered from
Colorado and the SCOTS Bluff section
of Nebraska, has about disappeared.
Shipments this year showed an in
crease of about % per cent over those
of 1929.
Native lamb movement from Vir-
ginia is well under way. There were
5000 Virginia lambs on the New York
market last week, 900 from Tennessee,
500 from West Virginia and $50 from
Kentucky. The movement has been
cautious, sellers guarding against the
downturns which follow the advent OF
a new crop. Tennessee shipments are
gaining strength, but West Virginia
lambs are not expected to become
prominent much before July. Ken
lucky always is shipping a few.

EARNINGS EXPECTED
TO SHOW INCREASE
Latter Half of Year Should Be
Period of Recovery,
Says Survey.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The only true
yardstick for the measurement of 1880
corporate profits is, of necessity, that
provided by returns for last year, due
to the adjustment of production, costs,
marketing policies, ETC., to the record
rate of activity which prevailed in 1929.
Comparison with aggregate values in
1928, however, is of extreme interest
and tends even further to emphasize
the extent of the current period of re-
cesSion, according to the Standard
Statistics Co. of New York.
The combined net income of some $50
industrial, railroad and utility corpora
tons, which have thus far reported,
was 20 per cent smaller in the first
quarter of 1880 than in the correspond
ing quarter of 1929. In a number of
important industries the slump ran
from 80 to so per cent.
But first-quarter earnings this year,
despite their spectacular. nose dive, were
actually 1T per cent greater Gin the
cases of 268 leading concerns which
provide a continuous three-year quar-
terly record) than in the first quarter
of 1928. This is fact of considerable
Importance. 1t either Is not generally
known, or is being lost sight of, at the
moment. Corporation earnings for the
first quarter Of 1928, in turn, had es-
tabltshed a new record up to that time.
Hence average earnings during the first
quarter of the current year were bad
only by comparison with recent peak
levels
Corporation profits for the second
quarter of the current year are likely
to compare even more unfavorably with
the corresponding 1929 quarter than
did those OF the first quarters this year
and last.
The last two quarters of the current
year will make q much more favorable
comparative showing. During this
period. the main trend Of earnings will
probably be upward, although the pitch
Of the trend line Is likely to be mod
crate, and the curve is likely to be quite
irregular.
All of the evidence now available
continues to suggest that the full year
1881 should be a generally satisfactory
one from the profits standpoint.
