straits of Florida, near the south
westerly point of the city. The
Navy seeks to place "a inch cast
iron sewer which would extend into
the waterway about 5000 feet in
southwesterly direction from the
shore line. The proposed pipe
would be place in a trench with
the upperfnoSt part of the pipe

on the easterly edge of the main
chip channel, at Channel Marker

TodoY's
Business
Mirror
By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK 1.-Two out of eV-
cry three corporations are making
less money so far this year than
last.
On average they are running
about 10 per cent behind a year
ago. That is, for every dollar of
net profit after taxes they were
making last year, they are clear
ing 80 cents this year.
But most of the set back came
in the first half of the year. For
a majority of companies the July,
August and September quarter
shows gains over year ago. And
many predict even brighter results
in the final months of 1852.
The first 319 corporations to re-
port net earnings for the first nine
months of 1852 showed combined
profit of 1865 ,S2O, ,572, a drop of
9.6 per cent from the So, ,949, ,O72, ,524
net income the same companies
had in the same period Of 1851.
Blamed are higher taxes, Grip
pling strikes, material shortages,
price ceilings, rising operation
costs, including higher wages
and, for a number of companies,
declining sales totals.
Many more hundreds of corpora
tions have yet to report, and the
final results could be changed.
But of the 319 early ones, 217
show earnings running behind.
Forty-eight show sharp drops from
the year ago profit figures. And
eight companies operated in the
red so far this year.
But 102 companies are making
more money this year than last.
And number of them are doing
strikingly better.
How the profit pattern is chang
ing as the year progresses is
shown by this: In the first three
months of the year net profits av-
eraged around 9 per cent below
the previous year. In the second
quarter profits were trailing by
about IA per cent. But early re-
turns for the third period-July,
August and September-show earn
ings running ahead of the previ-
Gus year by 10 per cent or better.
Dividend payments, too, have
kept ahead of last year so far
about per cent ahead in the first
nine months.
Tax payments, however, are
trailing for many large corpora
tons. Strikes, declining sales, ris-
ing costs have reduced the gross
income on which they pay a tax
to the U. S. Treasury.
The profit pattern varies wide
ly among industries. Some linked
with the defense program-such as
aircraft, utilities, appliances, mo-
tors and farm machinery compa-
MES making military hardgoods--
are ahead of last year. The hot
summer sent the profit of brewers
higher.
Some of the industries which as
group have the largest drop
from a year ago have only lately
been pulling out of their own pri-
vate depressionS-textiles (down
20 per cent and furniture makers
(down "a per cent)-are examples.
Coal companies, as group,
show a So per cent drop in profits.
They blame slow sales, huge in
ventories, rising costs, and labor
troubles.
Liquor companies, as a group,
are 46 per cent behind this year.
They blame the high tax on their
product for depressing their sales.
The oil group, which in former
periods led the higher profit pa.
rade, slipped this time and is trail
ing a year ago by 2 per cent.
Strikes, higher taxes, rising costs
cut into earnings.
The iron and steel companies
show the effect of the two-months

much better the rest of the year
and to cut the percentage of de-
