commended to the Commissioners to-

The municipal architect reported
that during the past fiscal year 25
contracts were let. and work on 20
projects was completed. Several of
these competitions, however, were un-

Increase in EARNINGS
OF Can Companies
Is Predicted
Profit Margins Reported
Well Maintained
As Sales Climb
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Oct. T. Commenting
on the outlook for can companies.
the United Business Service points
out that earnings this year will be
increased both by the large food
packs and an uptrend in general
line can sales.
The total 1910 food pack will be
about per cent greater than in
1899, although under both 1887 and
1888. While no figures are available
on general line can sales, they fol-
low general business and are run
ming we'll above a year ago.
Profit margins in the industry are
being we'll maintained. Tin plate,
the chief raw material, costs no
more than a year ago, and no i'm
mediate advance is likely. Tax and
wage costs are increasing, but the
latter is minimized by the Use OF
much automatic machinery. Impact
of the excess profits tax on most can
companies should not be unduly
severe, particularly on an average
earnings basis.
With further gains in industrial
activity and consumer purchasing
power indicated in coming months.
sales of both food and general line
cans should continue to expand. In
ventories of canned goods this win
ter will not be excessive and will
not act as drag on container sales.
Competition in the industry Is keen.
The can companies, however, have
entered the glass and fiber container
field and will therefore not suffer
greatly from the inroads of these
products. Metal cans still account
for around two-thirds of total con-
tainer sales

Traders were cautious in view of

culture said imports of American
cotton by Japan this season might

majority of private estimates in
dictated a crop smaller than was
forecast in the second official report.
but some trade sources looked for
a moderate increase. In normal
times market sentiment probably
would have been influenced by such
reports, but nowadays, with the
Government offering TO take over
unlimited quantities of the staple
under its loan program changes in
crop ideas seem to have but little
effect on the market.
While sales of spot cotton in
Southern markets were reported to

New Peak Predicted
In October Auto
Production
Output Is Expected
To Break All Marks
For That Month
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Oct. THE best Oc-
tober production in the history Of
the automobile industry is assured,
Wards Automotive Reports says in
its current issue, predicting an out
put volume of from 100000 to 465,-
900 units. Last year October as
semblies totaled 324689, and the
best previous mark for the month
was 337 ,979 in 1887.
Assemblies for the current week,
the trade publication adds, should
show a further increase over last
weeks l05.153 units, but all volume
manufacturers now are close to the
rates they will maintain through
this month.
1T would be surprising TO see the
rate climb over the 10000 mark, -
the survey adds. but it would be
equally surprising to see 1t fall
below 100000 assemblies for several
weeks"
Factors Outlined.
In pro and con" appraisal of
the outlook for the industry, Wards
cites as factors working toward
success" these developments:
There is an extended amount of
purchasing extant in the country.
Employment is improving and wage
levels are going up. So are COM
modify and raw material prices, and
It Is a truism that an advancing
price market is healthy in all eX-
cept its final stages.
In spite of reports from some
points that used cars are somewhat
more plentiful than they should
be at this time of year, and in spite
of reports that some overtrading is
being manifested. it would seem
that the overall picture on stock
conditions is good and that dealers
moved into the new model season
well prepared to drive for business"
Other Side Presented.
On the other side of the picture,
the trade paper said, are these
factors:
although new cars represent
huge OUTLAWS of money for retool-
ing, the fruit of such effort is not
obvious The changes have been
subtle rather than broad, There is
q question, therefore, whether the
public will feel it is obtaining a
completely new car and this may
effect sales, just as it played part
In the declining volume of the 1888
model year
Transcription will remove a seq
ment of purchasing which is bound
to be felt. Meanwhile the antici-
patton of consumption is currently
holding back sales. particularly of
lower priced ad secondhand cars,
and there is likelihood that financ-
ing for purchasers subject to the
draft will be curtailed beyond its
present informal stage"
