ALUMINIUM Ne |
NEAR DOUBLE

Aluminium Industries, Inc, prob
ably will earn around $4,000 or
$1.12 a share in the first six
months of 1884, which would COM
pare with net profit of $62,291 or
62 cents a share in the six months
ended June 80, 1898, and with
earnings of $10O,207 or 81 a share
in the year ended December 81,
1888.
Sales for the six months are
likely to be almost 100 per cent
larger than for the like 1888
period, when they totaled $1,023,-
449.
The company's new price lists
to be issued around the middle
of June and first of July for
valves and pistons, respectively,
will show advances averaging
around 10 per cent, which will
more than take care of the pres
ent higher cost ratio.
Schedules from the m o t r
makers that Aluminium Industries
supplies have shown no let-down
and in some instances June orders
have actually increased over the
May level. Employment currently
is $3.50 per cent higher and pay
roll 30-4O per cent higher than
at this time a year ago. Com
pany is working two eight-hour
shifts daily. For the quarter
ended March 81, employment was
1875 per cent above. and pay roll
was 100 per cent above the SINH
lar period in 1888.
The company supplies piStons,
valves, cylinder heads or other
aluminium parts for Ford, Ply
mouth, Packard, Lycoming, Con-
tinental, Hercules, Waukesha and
General Motors trucks motors.
The replacement market, prac-
tically dormant during the last
few years, has come to life again.
The company makes $4,000 re-
placement parts.

During the first half of May,
department store sales in the
metropolitan area of New York
were about 612 per cent higher
than in the corresponding period
a year ago, and excluding liquor
sales from the years figures, the
increase amounted to a little over
4 per cent, according to the Fed
eral Reserve agent at New York,
who added:
"FOr April, total sales of the
reporting department stores In
this district were slightly below
a year ago, and excluding liquor
sales the decline was 219 per
cent following four months in
which year to year advances
had been shown. The decrease
in sales was attributed to the
fact that Easter buying occur
red in March this year whereas
it was done largely in April
last year, and in addition there
was one less Saturday in April
this year, but even after allow
ance for these factors it ap-
pears that retail trade was not
quite as good in April as in
March.
"The average rate of cOlIec-
tiOns in April of accounts out
