AUTO FINANCING
REGISTERS GAINS
Sharp Drop in Reposses-
sionS in Recent Months
Also Cheers Industry.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, June 20.-A greater
volume Of automobile financing and
a sharp decline in the number Of re-
possessions offer another basis for the
enthusiasm of motor car manufac-
turers over the showing their indus
try has made during the last several
months in the recovery movement.
Figures announced recently by the
Census Bureau covering four months
of this year showed that the value of
financing Of motor cars had reached
$516,979,9 14, against a total of $685.
693, 1926 IN the like period of last year.
The number Of cars involved in
creased from 682,215 in 1884 to $751;
616 this year. There have been re-
possessions. Of course, but the proper
ton Is far below that of earlier periods
during the economic dislocation.
There has been some comment in
trade circles that the encouraging
showing Of the industry has been at
the expense Of profits. The margin of

during the recovery period. Producers
have explained that both materials
and labor costs have increased, while
the price Of cars has been held down,
both for competitive reasons and be-
cause the industry has felt the need
of expanding the distribution of motor
vehicles II really lasting recovery
was to be put under way.
The producers reason that the au-
tomobile is its own greatest promotion
factor. They already have keyed fac
tory activity to consumer demand, re-
versing the practice of the predepres-
sion era, when retail outlets were ex-
pected to keep up with factory anot-
ments.
Recent surveys Of the motor car
market tell Of a slight tapering of
in retail distribution, but in most
quarters this has been accepted as
merely a temporary halt, with a re-
newed wave of buying looked for in
the coming weeks.

NEW YORK.. June 20.-Through
successive monthly gains in service
connections the telephone business ap-
pears to be setting the stage for a
fairly impressive earnings expansion
over the longer term, remarks the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York
in q current survey Of the industry.
The April net gain for the Bell sys-
tenn, $4,000 new telephones installed,
was the largest for any single month
since the beginning Of the upturn in
1888. During the four months ended
April 80, 1885, a net increase of 161,-
600 instruments was recorded. This
compares with $4,000 instruments
gained during the corresponding por-
ton Of 1884 and total gain of $685.
600 instruments for the full year 1894.
Up to the present, therefore, the Bell
system has regained about IS per cent
of the stations lost during the de-
preston, and the experience of indie
pendent companies has been essen
tally similar.
From an earnings standpoint the
recovery to date has been less i'm
pressive. First-quarter operating rev.
enues of Bell system companies were
up only 2 per cent as compared with
the similar 1884 quarter.
