INDUSTRIAL NETS
OFF 60 PER CENT.
Estimates of Decline From
1887 Levels Supported
by Later Data.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DiSpatch to lhe Star.
NEW YORK, May First quarter
income reports of industrial corpora
tons published to date indicate that
previous estimates of a so per cent
decline in earnings, as compared with
the first quarter Of last year, were
substantially accurate. Utility earn
ings were down about 10 per cent.
Publication of additional income state
ments for the first quarter is not ex-
pected to change these ratios ma
terlally. according to the Standard
Statistics Co.
Not enough railroads have Yet re-
ported to provide an accurate picture
of railroad earnings in the quarter, but
it Is obvious that substantial defer.
was incurred. in contrast to a net
profit after charges a year ago. For
all class railroads. it is believed that
the net deficit was about $1,000 900,
in contrast to profit of $l4,l26. 900 a
year ago.
For the 269 corporations represented
IN the accompanying table. first quarter
pronts were down something over So
per cent, but it Is believed that when
representative number Of railroads
Is included the composite decline will
be shown to have been nearer 30 Der
cent. Seasonal betterment is expected
for the current quarter, but such bet
terment is unlikely to be greater than
in 1887, and the year-to-year decline
in profits for the first half year is
therefore likely to approximate that
shown for the first quarter.

ROCK WOOL INDUSTRY
IN CANADA SHOWS GAIN
Five Plants Are in Operation.
With More Expected-Prospects
for Future Are Bright.

Canada's rock wool industry has
been making excellent headway, with
prospects frightened by the large
potential market for the material and
the satisfaction it has given in its
many fields of use. The industry was
established in Canada during 1884
following the discovery by the Federal
department Of Mines of large deposits
OF limestone in the Niagara peninsula.
Ontario, suitable for the manufacture
OF rock wool. one of the most effectual
insulating products on the market
Five plants. with total capacity of
so tons daily. are in operation. and
the erection OF several others is pro-
posed. The output is marketed almost
entirely within the Dominion.
ROCK wool is soft. light and fibrous.
with a density of 3 to 10 pounds a
cubic foot. and consists of interlaced
exceedingly tlne. flexible. CLASSY tibers.
AS 1t is bulky, transportation costs are
relatively high. and Capitalization of
the industry is not commercially
feasible. The wool Is made bv melting
a suitable rock or mixture of rocks
and then converting the molten rock
into f1bers either by blast of steam
or air or by a mechanical device.
The use of rock wool has expanded
rapidly IN recent years. owing to its
excellent qualities as a sound and
heat insulator-it is both fireproof and
verminproof-and to its relatively low
cost. Most of the output is used for
dwelling house insulation. for which
rock wool Is available in bulk or loose
form. In bats and in the form OF
pellets that can be poured or blown
into spaces In the walls Of houses
already erected. Rock wool is also used
for industrial insulation, for the sound
proofing Of buildings and for the
acoutical treatment Of Offices, theaters,
auditoria and radio stations.
