leable Iron Works will be re-
sumed tomorrow. a strike of 200

Packard Reports
9-Nonth Profit

Packard Motor Car 90. today
reports profits for the nine months
ended Sept. 80 totalcd $3,049.274,
after provision of SIS. 088. 900 for
federal income taxes, compared
with net in the nine months ended
Sept. 80. 1912. of S3.272. 376, after
provision of $6.276. 900 for taxes.
The provision for federal income
taxes as of Sept. 80, 1912, gave
effect to an unused excess profits
credit carryover from prior years
which is not available in the year
1943.
George T. Christopher, presi-
dent, emphasized the fact that de-
spite substantial price reductions
the sales and billings for the first
nine months amounted to $751;
S74.429. which exceeded the sales
and billings for the corresponding
period in 1912 by $106. 296. 801.
Christopher also stated that the
prices received by the company in
1912 for certain war products are
subject to renegotiation under the
War Profits Control Act. A sup
Elementary renegotiation agree
Inent dated Oct. 26, 1913, for a

has not yet been executed by the
government. The companys finan-
cial statements are believed to re-
fleet adequate provision for the
refund that will finally result
from such renegotiation.

Dividends on Oil
Issues Over AZ

NEW YORK, Nov. s. Cash
dividend payments on common
stocks of leading oil companies
this year will be the highest since
1941, and approximately 8 per
cent above disbursements in 1912.
Peak year for common dividend
payments was 1887.
For "A companies, a few are
still to act on year-end payments,
it is expected cash dividends on
common stocks will aggregate
$238, 000. 900. This would compare
with 500. 100000 distributed in
1912 and $2s7 .000, 900 in 1887.
As against 8 per cent higher
dividend distribution, net profits
of the oil industry in the first
nine months this year ran APP
proximately Is per cent above the
similar period of 1912.

to refiners from 10.026, 295 tons TO
11.526. 295 tons for the period Jan.
