Find Surplus Steel

Material substitutions and
close watch on inventories will
pay substantial dividends from
large users of steel in the third
quarter. A check by the War
Production Board has disclosed
large amounts Of surplus steel
which will not be used imme-
diately.
The large SURPRISES mean that
the mills can release part of its
output TO nonmilitary uses.

Juggling Of Stamp
Values New Threat
TO Gas Dealers
BY sILER FREEMAN

Detroit's decimated gas deal.
ers are preparing to take an
other hitch in their belts. A
slice in the valuation of A cou-
pons seems almost a certainty.
No change is contemplated at
present in the B and c values.
OPA Chief Prentiss M. Brown
has been reluctant TO sacrifice
the Midwest to pacify the
groaners in the East. As has
been pointed out many times.
Detroit has no shortage OF gaso-
line. 1t doesn't tie up any
facilities which might help the
East's plight on fuel. Our sup
plies come in by pipeline and
lake tankers.

Hudson Prospects

With the Hudson Motor Car
CO. paying the first dividend in
SIX wears, the following analysis
hy Werthelm & Co. is of eSpe-
cial interest:
"The company ended 1912
with approximately $3.50 per
common share I'm net current
assets, the latter item including
S7,22l. 900 cash ont OF approx
mateB S2O.234, 900 total. Cur
rent liabilities were SI,9S5, 900
or considerably less than cash
on hand. This working capital
position j. substantially better
than anything that the company
has enjoyed since the early thir-
ties.
"IIudSon'S sales last year were
approximately l06 million dol
lars and in the current year II
appears that rs shipments will
likely approximate 200 million.
Volume Is constantly being
stepped up and current produc-
non plans call for continued In
rreases through the first quar-
ter of 1874.
"HudSon'S current earnings
are large: its working capital
has been rebuilt To "A new high
level since 1880 and il in excess
of the current selling price of
the stock: It's productive capac-
ity j. probably the highest Of
the Independents; and postwar
prospects seem TO indicate the
likelihood Of capacity operations
for several years"
