COST CUTS SEEN

Outlook Helped as Used
Supplies Fade, Declares
Standard Statistics.
BY DONALD b. HADLEY,

In review of the Mersenthaler
Linotype Co.. which has many WASH
ington stockholders. Standard Sta
tistics Co. declares that the indicated
absence of homecoming costs, to-
gether with repair and maintenance
work. may tend to cushion an expected
decline in earnings.
THE longer term outlook for the
company is enhanced by the fact that
secondhand supplies of linotypes have
been largely exhausted, while the OBJ
solescence factor is building up po-
tential demand" the review adds.
SALES held up well in the first half
OF the current fiscal year, but book
ings subsequently declined sharply, in
line with the recession in general busi-
ness and curtailment of publishing ac-
tivity.
Constant improvement of the prod
uct has stimulated demand for re-
placement. Sales, however, are al
most wholly dependent upon the pur-
chasing power of the printing and
publishing trade. Under normal con-
ditions, replacement purchases alone.
aided by the stable call for matrices,
repair parts and services, are sufficient
to maintain earnings at sizable fig
ures, the review declares.
Demand Cut Sharply.
THE depression, however, and the
resultant sharp curtailment of print
ers' earnings and financial resources.
caused an almost total elimination of
linotype demand in 1882 and 1888.
This situation was aggravated by the
accumulation of secondhand equip
ment on the market and resulted in
Improbable operations for the COM
pany for the first time in 25 years
Earnings were relatively slow to re-
cover during the subsequent upsw!ug
In general business activity.
In an attempt to gain greater
diversification of markets the COM
pany has begun to manufacture a line
of sundry products for use outside of
the printing industry. These products
are as yet relatively unimportant to
sales and earnings and the vast bulk
OF the business still is dependent upon
the linotype machine and affiliated
items.
Because the non-current expense
of developing new linotype machines
was charged against operations an
operating loss of $32,32l was sus-
tained in the fiscal year ended Sep
tember 80, 1897. as compared with a
profit of S153,548 in the previous fiscal
year. Dividend receipts from the Eng
lish subsidiary were considerably
larger, however, and net income was
equal to $3.50 a share, as compared
with S2.49 on larger number OF
shares in the 1886 year.
