Investors Study
Irregular Course
OF Corporate Nets
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 9-In view
of the general clouds of uncertainty
overhanging securities markets, in
vestors have turned to earnings re-
ports for hints of price trends, brokers
say.
The feeling is that thus far income
statements have been somewhat spot
ty. Although there has been fair
scattering of companies with improved
earnings, this has been Offset to some
extent by shrinkages in income for
other units.
Higher taxes have bitten into net
along with rises in wage and material
costs. Some reinsurance has been ex-
pressed on the score of material costs.
Numerous observers believe that mas
much as many staples have had steep
climbs since the Spring of 1888, both
the rate and extent of price advances
from this point on will tend to dimin-
iSh.
In the matter of wages and taxes.
somewhat less hope is held, they say.
They explain that the mounting Fed
eral expenditures and the growing ma
tional debt must sooner or later make
for heavier tax burden.

HOG RAISING CAMPAIGN

BUENOS AIRES, February o.
Anticipating an abundant corn crop,
the Banco de Ia Nacion-ArgentinaS
government bank-has inaugurated
an extensive campaign for encouraging
hog production.
The present years exportable sur
plus of corn is privately estimated at
100000 tons and, although it will
probably be easily marketable this
year, 1t Is considered that If this
scale Of production is continued in
subsequent years the disappearance
of the present unusual fodder short
age in the United States may result
in marketing difficulties.
Therefore, there is a resolute drive
to increase pork production.

Old Uncle Abner might have been

throw away anything that looks like
a security certificate without asking
your banker or broker or some spe-

Four banks alone, located in various
parts Of the country, are still main
tanning cash balances for the benefit
of more than 125 foreclosed security
issues that have not yet collected
money due.
Since these old securities in many

is the result of exhaustive research
through records Of foreclosures, court
decisions, mergers, reorganizations,
diSsolutions, etc. It comprises data
assembled for period of more than
half a century and represents infor-

The list has been made up In the
form of a poster so that banks and
other financial institutions may give
their depositors or customers and local
security holders an opportunity to
examine the list at their Offices.
If the public and banks take the

DETROIT, Mich, February g.
Ford appears certain to lead the
caravan of automobile manufacturers
for February, as he did in January.
BY getting into production for the
year faster than his competitors, Ford
has been able to keep one jump ahead
of the other low-priced car makers
February will see 10000 new Fords
turned out. according to Dearborn
estimates. The assembly line carried
10000 cars along the runway in
January. If the February estimate is
fulfilled. then Ford will have built
in the first two months almost one
quarter of the million cars he plans
for the year.
Assembly Plants Reopened.
In view of the fact that it is neces-
sary to 90 back five years for the
equivalent of the current schedule
of 10000 cars, it can be seen that
Ford is operating again with some
of his old-time vigor. Already assem-
bly, plants have been reopened at ST.
Louis and Long Beach, Calf. Within
the next few weeks operations will
be resumed at Memphis, Tenn; st.
Paul. Mimi, and Cincinnati
Activities of Chevrolet, Ford's clos
est competitor, have speeded up per-
ceptibly. Chevrolet production prob
ably will be, for February, between
10000 and 10000.
Reports from dealers everywhere,
particularly in the low-priced field.
show a shortage of cars. If dealer
demands are to be met. manufac-
turers will be compelled in the next
three months to ship more than
100000 cars.
Packard Dealers Doubled.
Packard is doubling the number of
its dealers to distribute successfully
its new low-priced models. Packard
officials say that the new 12O model
has in no way reduced sales on the
large PackardS. In fact, Max Gilman.
general manager, says the factory is
behind its schedule on its established
line. Trade-in figures indicate the
new models are cutting into the field
of most intensive competition. In
Westchester County, N. Y, the aver
age allowance has been $185; in
Greater New York, $3.50, and in Phila-
delphia, $3.50.

DANVILLE. Va, February g.
Tobacco growers in Pittsylvania
County are disposed to avail them
selves of a Is per cent increase in
pounds produced and not in acreage,
it is indicated as allotment cards con-
tinue to pour into the office of j. E.
Stone, county agent, at Chatham.
It is said that no great increase in
acreage is anticipated the coming
growing season, for which farmers
already are making preparations.
The trend of thought is that such
an increase in acreage as permitted
by the Government would have harm
full effects on prices next Fall.
