Two Favorable Items

Two pieces of favorable news
seem to fit together and support
one another. The president Of the
Continental Can Company (whoSe
stock I have recommended from
time to time), states that the
year will be close to normal for
the can makers. He says that the
four principal canning crops will
be above the five-year average.
and only Z per cent under last
years large pack. That is not
so bad.
Also there is the fact that the
McKeesport Tin Plate Co. has
just announced the regular quar-
terly dividend of 81 a share and
in addition pays its third extra
dividend of so cents a share. AS
the Gamers use most Of the tin
plate, this seems to confirm the
can company's president in his
moderate optimism.
Incidentally, I would rather be
the owner Of McKeesport now
than Of American Can.

There has been some good buy
ing in Archer Daniels. The COM

to have its raw mats at advanta-
geouS prices. Earnings for the
nine months were UP to STA a

Sales Of General Foods for the

stability and possibilities for
gradual appreciation in price.
Earnings are good.
They. are talking Of a merger
Of Parmalee Transportation and

American Water Works insiders
are bullish despite the high ratio

selling. Water Works moves
quickly because Of the small float

the management. He also be-

warrants the buying Of some

oils POSITION
HEALTH|EST

The statistical position Of the
oil industry, for the moment, at
least, is in the most healthy state
attained this year. Production Of
crude is currently at the lowest
point reached since 1923, and
with proration in all active terri
tories throughout the country,
stocks Of crude petroleum are be-
ing moderately reduced, says the
Standard Statistics Company, Of
New York, in q current survey,
which follows in part:
''Tn the refining division, also,
the output Of crude oil has
been quite universally cut, and
heavy Withdrawals from gasO-
line storage are under way.
While the dangers surrounding
the voluntary nature Of prOduc-
tiOn control are stflI present,
the majority opinion I'm 1IHe in
duStry points to continued ade-
quate restriction during the
near future. Success in the
crude division, in our judgment,
hinges around present attempts
in Texas.
Despite this more promising
situation, brought about by the
balancing Of supply with de-
nand, reflection In an improved
price structure has been en-
tirely lacking. In fact, gasoline
quotations have been under con-
slant pressure, and current lew
els are well below both the high
for 1880 and prices prevailing
q year ago. Under these ad-
verse conditions, prOfit mar.
gins, particularly I'm the refin-
ing and marketing fields, are
extremely narrow.

In spite Of the efforts Of several

market did not open with a rush.
The volume Of trading was much
under two million shares. About
100 stocks declined on the first
day, against 285 advances. Nine
stocks made new lows for the
year.
It is really much better for the
market not to boil over at pres

Better Than Figures Show

Another item bearing on agri.
cultural conditions is the report
on Montgomery Ward & Co.'s
August sales. At first glance the
figures do not seem favorable. At
$20,966. .819, it is $4,000, 900 under
a year ago. But here is illustrated
the error of comparisons with "a
year ago." and the further error
of not allowing for seasonal
variation.
In the first place the sales a
year ago were abnormally large.
They were stimulated by the pol
icy (now abandoned) Of prepay.
ing freight on mail orders. More.
over, prices last year were much
higher. The company has since
reduced prices to stimulate bus1-
mes and cut out the loss due to
prepaying freight charges.
More than that, the sales trend
was really upward in comparison
with July. We find that normally
the sales in August increase
about 8 per cent, while this year
they were IL per cent above July.
This is a fairly good showing.

Mr. Comment has been going to ball games for the last sixty
