GAS FIRMS EXPECT
PROSPEROUS YEAR
Leaders of Industry Conf
dent of Increase in Their
Business.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

An asset of undoubted value is to be
added to the gas industry this year.
That asset Is confidence. The gas
companies, those handling manufac-
tured as well as natural gas, have
come through q terrifically hard in
dustrial year unscathed. While the
figures for the whole industry are not
yet available. those in close touch with
the gas corporations declare their
profits in 1880 compared most favor
ably with those of 1929. Consequently,
they are like troops who have come
victorious through q severe battle
confident In their ability to win other
successes this year.
Outlook Optimistic.
The producers look for no abate-
ment in output or sales. In 1880, ac-
cording to Clifford E. Paige, president
Of the American Gas Association, the
volume sold exceeded two and a half
customers to whom gas was sold in the
last year grew between 2 and 3 per
cent although most industries were
loath to expend money for necessary
changes in equipment. The total now
is over 100000.
The manufactured gas companies
have maintained their schedules of
construction and expect to continue to
do so in the coming IL months. The
uses for gas have steadily expanded
and experimental laboratories now are
pushing such development. In the
natural gas field, the programs of con-
struction seem likely to be more ex-
tensive this year than ever before.
This is made possible because the
success of the industry has inspired
investors with confidence, according
to the bankers interested in the in
dustry. Until this year, the public had
contributed only about one-third of
the capital invested in the industry.
The remainder has been supplied by
corporations and individuals

NEW YORK, January 24--Because
Of their experiences in the last nine
months, brokers are taking an ex-
tremely cautious attitude toward the
present rise In stock prices. Any one
who bought stocks in the extreme de-
clines last year could have made q
profit of substantial size within a
week or ten days. On the other hand,
IL he held stocks much longer than
this he invariably found them selling
way below his cost figures. With this
in mind, brokers are advising their

low up the advance until the market
has been definitely established enough
above the previous high on January 9
to confirm evidence that liquidation has
been completed.
