Decreases $72,100,0 100000
in Period Between 1929
and 1881.
BIZ Times SpecidI

By Times Special
NEW YORK, July 14.-Gross in
come of all corporations in the
United States from 1929 to 1881 fell
from $3.50, 500 100000 to So, 5O0,-
10000, and the proportion of the
total accounted for by corporations,
without net income, rose from 1913
per cent to SIG per cent, according
TO an analysis of corporation in
come tax data for the years 1917 to
1881, issued this week by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board.
Although a considerable fraction
of the country's business is done
without a profit even in prosperous
times, the year 1881 made new
record for the volume Of proftless
business and for the ratio of such
business to the total.
Net income, as defined for cor
poration income tax returns. does
not correspond exactly with net
profit as understood by business
men but it approaches sufficiently
close to throw valuable light on the
course of business profits in the
years covered in the conference
boards analysis.
The figures for 1882 are still in
complete but the preliminary tabu-
lations indicate a continued decline
in both gross and net income.
From 1929 to 1881 the gross in
come of all corporations in manu-
featuring industry fell from $72.-
100, 100000 to $4,000 100000 and the
proportion of the total that was &C
counted for by corporations without
net income rose from II per cent
to 524 per cent.
In this period manufacturing cor
porations in the metals and metal
products group showed the largest
decrease in gross income and the
sharpeSt rise in the proportion of
gross income reported by corpora
tons without net income. Gross in
come Of corporations in this group
dropped from $24.100 1000 in 1929
to $500 100000 in 1881, while the
proportion accounted for by corpor-
atoms without net income rose from
80 per cent to 500 per cent.
In manufacturing groups the pro-
portions of total gross income that
were reported by corporations with
out net income in 1881 were as fol-
lows-Food products, beverages, and
tobacco, 1873 per cent; chemicals
and allied products, 50 per cent;
textiles and their products, 1913 per
cent; printing, publishing, and al
lied industries, 43.8 per cent; paper,
pulp, and their products, 500 per
cent; leather and it's manufactures,
500 per cent; stone, clay, and glass
products, 53.6 per cent; rubber
products, 500 per cent; and forest
products, 75.3 per cent.
Gross incomes includes gross
sales, less returns and allowances,
of corporations engaged in manufac-
turing or trading, gross revenues of
corporations engaged in transporta-
ton and other public utility enter
prises, gross profits from other
operations, interest on bank de-
poSits, notes, mortgages, and cor
poration bonds, rents, profits from
sale of real estate, stocks, bonds,
and other capital assets, dividends,
and other income, but excludes
tax exempt interest from federal,
state and municipal bonds.
Net income is the amount of
gross income in excess of the cost
of goods sold, business expenses,
and other statutory deductions.
