ey 'he Associated Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Amer-
lean business is turning in an II
per cent fatter report card for its
1858 operations than it did the
previous year.
The great food of annual
statements is at a peak TODAY
Although many of the giants of
American industry are yet to
report, the first 438 to issue
earnings statements show that
almost three out of every four
did better in 1853 than in 1852
For most of them, however
the net profit after taxes in the
tnal three months of the year
was below earnings for the third
quarter and we'll below the second
quarters peak profits.
Many indicate that they ex-
pect a further drop in profits in
the present quarter, rejecting the
10 per cent drop in industrial
production since last summer.
