NET
PROFITS SOAR
IN QUARTER

The extent to which business
has recovered from the depths of
the depression is clearly illus
trated by the quarterly reports of
earnings issued by corporations
thus far in the new year. A
compilation of the first quarter
statements of 1855 corporations
shows that these companies, in
the aggregate. reported net earn
ings of $153,814,934, as compared
with only $16,180,815 reported
for the first three months of last
year, according to a study by
Eastman, Dillon & Co.
Thus, while many people still
look forward to the possibility
of a general recovery in business,
the extent to which their hopes
have already become a reality,
states the firm, appears to be
overshadowed by the course of
events which center about the
nations capital.
AS was to be expected, based
upon trade advices, the auto
mobile companies recorded the
greatest improvement among the
industrial classifactions, having
increased their net income from
100000 in the first quarter of
1888 to over $24,222,0O0 in the
first quarter Of the current year.
Automobile accessory companies
show a similar, though less spec
tacular trend, having converted
an aggregate loss of over $780,
600 last year to profit of over
$4,000,000 in the current year.
Next to the automobile COM
panies, the oil and chemical
groups make the best showing.
The nine petroleum companies in
cluded in the compilation report
net income of $4.740,O00, as COM
pared with a deficit of $8,174,000
in the first quarter last year,
while the 10 chemical companies
reported net income of $22, 1872 900,
against $9,485,00O a year ago.
Irregularities naturally prevail
in every period of recovery and
these are clearly evident when one
COMPARES the showing of the vari-
GUS industries. Thus, while the
automobile, chemical and oil
groups registered a healthy recov-
cry. as did many other industries,
there are numerous groups which
were able to do no more than re-
duce the size of their deficits. In
the heavy industries group, for in
stance, represented by the build
ing, machinery, steel and railroad
equipment divisions, the machin-
cry group was the only one able
to work into black figures.
The performance of the food
companies is particularly interest
ing. This group suffered less from
the ravages of the depression and
as a result profited less from the
recovery. Fifteen companies in
cluded in this group, an excellent
representation of the industry,
showed net profit of $19.898,00
for the first quarter of 1884, as
compared with $17,365, 900 for the
first quarter of 1898.

Japan continued to be the chief
foreign outlet, but along with
other important world markets
showed a decline when compared
with the preceding year, the
bureau states. Germany, however,
increased imports of American
cotton, taking $4,000 bales COM
pared with 10000 bales in Feb
