SMITH

Smith college celebrated Leap Year last Saturday, with supper dances in the various college hous- es. These supper dances were for merly known as spring dance, but as the dance was named many years ago when 1t was given in more springlike weather, the under graduates decided to change the name this year. Dances were held in 26 of the college houses. The Smith custom of turning the ta- bles on the men at college dances and giving the male guests the privileges, or rather the hardships, which are usually the lot of the wo- men, was particularly apropros this year. Not only do the girls pay for

JERSEY CITY. N. j., October a.
At q special meeting of the Board of
Directors of Quarterly Income Shares.
Inc, action was taken TO qualify this
$44 .000, 900 investment fund as a mu-
tua1 investment company under the
terms of the Federal revenue act of
1896, 1t was announced today. The
act accords to mutual investment COM
panies a more favorable tax status
than that of so-called other" COM
panies.
To ratify this decision as we'll as
other desirable changes in the charter
of Quarterly Income Shares, Inc, a
special stockholders meeting will be
held October 20, 1886. The major
changes proposed include:
/. Stockholders shall henceforth
have the absolute right to liquidate
shares through the fund.
2. A consolidation of 10 of the pres
emily outstanding shares for one new
share. This, however. will not affect
the total value of holdings. or the
pro rata interest of stockholders in
the funo, as quarterly dividend and
distribution rights per share will
thereafter be 10 times as great as at
present.
3. 1t is also proposed TO authorize
the issuance of participating pref
erence stock. or prior preferred stock.
or both. 1t is believed that this will
enable the fund under the new law to
distribute realized profits in the form
of a different class of stock and yet
allow 1t to retain its working assets.
Quarterly cash distributions of net
income derived from dividends will
continue.
Quarterly Income Shares now has
realized and unrealized profits of over
$14 ZOO, 900, based on current quota
tions. This is equivalent to over so
cents per share, or over SIS per share.

"As more orders accelerated whole

production dropped to the years low,
the average rate of industrial opera
tions was undiminished."
Widest gains in retail trade were
shown by mems and women's wear
ing apparel. the review stated, adding
that house furnishings, furniture, sta
Pile drygoods and groceries contributed
heavily to the enlarged total. Blank

LAKES SHIPPING
MOUNTS SHARPLY

Ahead of Any Full Year

By the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND. Ohio. October a.
With more iron ore carried down the
Lakes so far this season than In any
full year since 1880. Great Lakes ship
ping is steaming along at boom time
speed.
The report of the Lake Superior
Iron Ore Association today shows
shipments from Upper Lake, ports dur
ing September totaled 7,48l, OIL tons,
an increase of 2.663. .457 tons, or 55.29
per cent. over a year ago and the
largest month since August, 1880.
when s,25l,6ss tons were brought
down.
The past month claims the record
of the largest September since the
banner year 1929. when the move
ment came to 9.547,040 tons.
This brings shipments so far this
season to 33.762, ,588 tons, ll,558.375
tons, or 52.05 per cent, over the like
period last year and about five and a
half million tons more than for the
entire year of 1885.
Recent estimates of total movement
Of 46.000.00 tons for this season are
thus brought close to realization. Ma
rine men believe that the current
month will approximate the results Of
September Barring too much bad
weather, November will not be far
behind, as the bulk fleets are sched-
uled to operate at ,op speed right
through the month.
With the Nations steel mills oper-
ating at the highest Levels in six
years and production of new-model
automobiles getting under way, the
demand for ore has been increasing.
Loadings of oituminous coal into
vessels at Lake Erie ports continues
at an all-time peak rate. For the
season to September 81 the Ore and
Coal Exchange shows 32.l49,62l tons
dumped into ships holds, gain Of 10
per cent over the corresponding date
last year, with no signs IF q lt-up

In a little more than a month 20
more bulk freighters have oeen pressed
into service to bring the active fleets
to the largest size since 1890. About

AUTO FIRMS FACE
PRODUCTION RUSH
Must Turn Out 100000
Cars in Last Quarter
to Meet Forecasts.
By the Associated Press.

By tne ASS0clale0 PreS.
DETROIT, October 1.-The motor
car industry gets the flnal quarter of
1885 under way facing the task of
producing approximately l,200, 1000 cars
and trucks between now and December
81, if it is to assemble the 4,65o. 900
units its leaders predicted several
weeks ago.
The industry has had its slack sea-
son in the matter Of assemblies-while
plants were being equipped to turn out
new types. There has been little
slackening. however. in consumer de-
mand, and the result has been that
field stocks have been virtually cleaned
out, presaging a shortage that must
mean delivery delays before all the
leading assembly units of the industry
get into the stride necessary 10 over
take retail requirements
Center on Used Cars.
One direct result of the better clean
up Of new car stocks In dealers hands
is the determination of most of the
volume producers and distributors to
concentrate, for a time at least, more
heavily upon the movement of used
cars The industry campaigned vigor-
ously to dispose Of old cars accepted
in trade during the Spring months and
succeeded in relieving what otherwise
would have been a dif1icult situation
to handle.
The impending drive on the used
car accumulation has its inception in
two inescapable facts. The imminence
of new models means there will be
another wave Of used cars flooding
toward the dealers when they offer
1887 models. and the stocks on hand
must be moved to make room as we'll
as release considerable cash tied up in
the old vehicles. Aside from that situ-
alton. however, is the fact that many
of the dealers have nothing but used
cars to sell.
Hope TO Avoid SpurtS.
On the basis of present consumer
demand the virtual certainty that
dealer requirements will exceed those
OF the final quarter Of last year. the
industry should easily run of 200, 900
units during the coming three months.
There is disposition at the same time
to avoid production spurts, which past
experience has shown the producers
inevitably leads to sharp declines later
in the season.
The present year is the second in
which the industry has advanced its
new model work to permit the bulk of
new cars introductions in November
and there still are some among the
manufacturers who are not entirely
convinced the policy does not borrow
some activity from the subsequent
early Spring months.
