1874 CORPORATIONS
GAIN IN EARNINGS
Increase for Quarter of Same
Companies First Since
Depression Began.

For the first time since the begin
ming of the present business depression
current earnings of 1874 representative
American corporations show substan-
tial increase over earnings of the same
companies in the previous quarter.
The increase Of the second quarter
over the first quarter OF this year
equaled 1872 per cent compared with
an increase of $40 per cent for the sec
ond quarter over the first quarter OF
1890.
The fact that the third and fourth
quarters of last year and the first
quarter of this year successfully showed
smaller earnings makes the present
upturn, in the opinion of Gage P.
Wright, New York business counselor
and president of the Business Economic
Digest, of more significance than the
relative increase shown now, as COM
pared with the first quarter Of 1881.
May Err in Conclusions.
In this connection Mr.. Wright said:
Considered solely from the point of
view of relative magnitude, the in
crease of earnings in the recent quar-
ter so far exceeds the increase of last
year that it is easy for one to draw
mistaken conclusions. For example:
year of the 1874 companies considered
were only, approximately so to SIS per
cent, respectively, Of earnings by the
same companies in similar quarters last
year. The actual figures are for the
first and second quarters of 1880, re-
spectively. SPA, 632 900 and $253, 388,-
600; for the first and second quarters
of this year they are, respectively,
$ll9, 1864, 900 and S159,63l 900.
obviously the volume of business
transacted, although on the upturn, is
still far below that OF a year ago. 1t is
probable, therefore, that the relative in
crease in earnings is due to an adjust
ment of production and sales costs to
a basis of lower production. At the out
set of the depression production and
sales costs were geared 10 a volume OF
business which quickly shrunk to a
point below half of its former level
Effort to bring production and sales
costs into line with volume is neces-
sarily a slow process and 1t is probable
that the showing Of the second quarter
of 1891 reflects the first success of that
movement.
Earnings Significant.
ct Is my opinion that more signifl-
canoe attaches to the fact that earn
ings for the first time in four quarters
have shown an npturn. These figures
seem to show that the depth of the de-
preston has been reached and that
business, at last, is under way on ar
upward movement.
IF We are correct in assuming that
production and sales costs have at last
been adjusted to a lower volume OF
production we can fairly look forward
to a prosperous last half In such ad-
justments relatively small increases in
volume are instantly reflected in in
creased earnings, and with increased
earnings prosperity must abound"

GASOLINE PASSES
MINE BUREAU TEST
Most Regular Price Fuel Has Lit
tie Trouble Meeting U, S.
Requirements.
By the Associa ted Press.


A survey just completed by the Mines
Bureau indicates most regular price
gasolines sold at service stations pass re-
quirements of the new specification for
United States Government motor gaso-
line
The largest percentage of failure to
meet the Government specification oc-
CURED in connection with the sulphur
requirement; l5.5 per cent of the gaSo-
lines that were sold at the regular
price or below failed to pass the require
ment which limits the sulphur content
10 0.i0 per cent. No sample failed TO
pass the corrosion test four samples
failed to meet the distillation requires
ments and four samples had vapor pres
sares in excess of the maximum that is
permitted under the Federal specifica-
ton. which is IL pounds to the square
inch.
That the volatility of commercial
gasoline sold last March was noticeably
higher than that sold during August of
the previous year is concluded by the
bureau.
