NLATE INACTIVE

improved at the close today. A

lished despite dizziness of the list,

about IL points. Other mining
shares responded to the prospect
of higher prices for non-ferrous
metals with advances Of "a to "a

dated Gas of Baltimore climbed
almost a point.

NET DECLINES

For the six months period
ended June 80, North American
Aviation, Inc, reported a consoli-
dated net profit of $65, 564.46 after
provision for normal Federal in
come tax and after depreciation
charges amounting to $341,281.12,
but before including a profit of
$1,267.5O realized on the sale of
securities. Including the latter,
the first half of 1887 showed a net
profit of 66,83196.
For the comparable period of
1886, North American Aviation,
Inc, reported a consolidated net
profit of 6,026.99, after pro-
vision for Federal income tax and
after depreciation charges amount
ing to $363,517.87. During the
year 1896, the company changed
its rates of depreciation on flying
equipment to conform with the
revised estimated life thereof. If
the present rates had been in
effect during the first half of
1896, the depreciation charges for
that period would have been $685.
543.63, which would have resulted
in a net profit of $144,001.23 for
the period.
No provision has been made in
the aforementioned earnings for
the Federal surtax imposed by the
Revenue Act of 1886 on any undiS-
tributed profits accruing after
January /, 1886.
Untitled orders of the engineer
ing and manufacturing division at
June 80 amounted to $8,068,322.47,
