Steel Merger Gossip

The latest bit of gossip about a
merger in the steel industry has to
do with a consolidation of National
and Inland Steel, but thus far there
is nothing afficial on the question,
the matter having not yet gone be-
yond the conversational stage.
Should such deal be promul-
gated it would represent the most
important combination in the in
duStry in many years. resulting in
the creation of the fourth largest
enterprise in the industry.
Anything can happen in the steel
group these days, according to OBJ
servers, who point out Otis pre-
ferred as one instance of where
concentrated demand has lifted a
stock sharply higher. Trade news
is especially favorable in this in
duStry and volatile shares have been
among the first to reflect the big
boost in operations.

According / the balance sheet OF
Sept. 30 last, General Motors had
cash of sits, 349,625. United States
government securities of S29,612, 1913,
other marketable securities of So
001, 1853 and total current assets of
1854, 726, 300, compared with 1854
1887 on the corresponding date
of 1888. Net working capital stood
at 1921 ,842, 794, against S285, 292, 313.
Despite higher operating costs the
corporation was able to show mod
crate improvement in net earnings
for the first nine months Of last
year, reporting income of $160 a
share, compared with $173 in 1888.
Sales for the same period reached
S718,518,000 from $500, 921 900 in the
previous year.
The annual report of the COM
pany will not be published until
early in March, but it is calculated
in private quarters that results for
the closing quarter were considera-
bly, better than the final three
months of 1888, when a deficit of l
cent a share was reported on the
common after all charges.
However, homecoming charges
may have curtailed earnings in this
period. The last extra paid by
General Motors was so cents on
Sept. II. 1884.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-When di-
rectors Of General Motors Corp.
meet on Monday. Feb. 4, they prob
ably will give serious consideration
to the matter of paying an extra
dividend on the common stock. If
action along that line is taken, 1t
is believed the payments will be so
cents a share in addition to the reg
ular quarterly disbursement of Is
cents.
Conditions in the automobile in
dustry, according to those who
have made a careful study of the
current possibilities, are unusually
favorable. General Motors obtained
a goodly portion of the improve
ment accorded in 1884. and is likely
to far : well as any of the other
import units in the current year,
when estimated production
will show gain of 10 to Is per cent

The formal garden at the

to the woods is filled with
roses of many varieties and
other blooms with box-bor-
dered grass paths meeting
at the sun dial in the center.
Lilac bushes edge the lawns
where the driveway winds to
the garage and the various
corners and setbacks outside
the house have beds of ferns

up the bricks toward the
terraces above.
