S4.01 a Share Earned
By Montgomery Ward
In Fiscal Year
Avery Reports Drop
Despite New SoIes
Record in Period
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 20.-Montgom-
cry Ward G Co., mail order and
retail merchandise firm, yesterday
reported net profit of $22,35l,716 in
the year ended January 81, 1912,
after provision Of a s5,0O0,O00 re-
serve for possible future inventory
price decline.
In the preceding fiscal year. when
no provision was made for inventory
price decline. net profit was $23, ,028,- :
OFT. Net profit in the year ended
January 81. 1912, equaled $401 q
common share against $4.14 in the
preceding fiscal year.
Sewell L. Avery, chairman, told
stockholders that net sales of $685.
708, 1857 we're at an all time high, up
226 per cent over sales Of $515,910,-
9l5 in 1904. Approximately one
third of the increase was attributable
to higher unit prices for merchandise
sold. Avery said, and the balance
represented a greater volume.
Shortages made 1t necessary to
return more than $40, 1000, 900 of cash
to customers who ordered mer-
chandise that the company was un-
able to supply, Avery stated.
Although merchandise inventories
on January 81. 1912, at 1923, ,102 ,953,
were up 2l per cent from q year
earlier, Avery said this was attrib-
uted entirely to higher costs and
did not represent an increase in
quantities.
Turning to present operations,
Avery said, "the company is faced
with conditions that will adversely
affect the results of operations for
the current year. Some lines of
major Importance are already
seriously affected by Government
priorities and 1t seems rea-
sonable to anticipate that the large
scale conversion Of many raw ma
terials from civilian use to war
products will greatly curtail many
other lines
Further restrictions on terms of
time payment sales are to be ex-
pected, with consequent loss of
volume" -

Bv the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20.-Howard
Gray, acting director of solid fuels
coordination, said last night that
Government and industry experts
were formulating plan for emer-
gency ALLEGATION Of coal supplies
for use "if and when it is needed"
The potential dangers which
threaten the coal supply" he said,
"are of such gravity that Secretary
of Interior Ickes has instructed the
Office of Solid Fuels Administration
, to prepare at once system to
effect the emergency distribution
of coal, so that he. as co-ordinator
of solid fuels, might be in a position
to recommend its adoption as soon
as the need for it should appear"
Gray addressed the United Vic
tory Convention" of organizations
of coal merchants in the New York
area.
He made no forecast as to when
it might be necessary to institute
the emergency distribution system.
but said lit may happen quicker
than any of us realize"
I'VE may be able to delay for
time the necessity for emergency
action. but fear We cannot avoid
it entirely" he added.
In a recent statement Gray ad-
monished all coal consumers that
they should store coal now while
adequate facilities for production
and transport still were available.
Last night he said the results of
the coal-stocking campaign thus
far have been disappointing" and
much unused production and trans
portation capacity have gone to
waste"
