230 Corporations
Show 50 Per Cent
Profits Increase
NEW YORK, April Fifty per
cent greater profit# wore shown tor
the first quarter of 1940 by the first
280 corporations reporting than for
the same period last year according
to a compilation made here.
Net income of the group totaled
$272^91,009, compared with $181,-
8175.000 In the first throe months of
1939.
Excluding the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, whoee large
earnings weigh heavily In the total,
first quarter profit* went up 60 per
cent.
All major Industrial groups for
which comparisons could bo made
showed larger income# than a year
ago. Biggest gains were recorded
by manufacturers of a railroad equip-
ment and by the petroleum and steel
industries.
Food and finance companies, pub-
lic utilities and manufacturers of
business machines showed the small-
est improvement.
A large backlog of unfilled orders
from late 1939 enable nine railroad
equipment companies to report earn-
ings of $4,365,000, compared with
$986,000 in the first three months of
1989.
Eight petroleum companies more
than quadrupled last year’s results,
showing net income of $13,269,000
compared with $2,286,000 in the
March quarter last year. Heavy de-
mand for heating oils, plus good profit
margins, made it an excellent quar-
ter for the petroleum industry, cli-
maxing a year of steady improve
ment in earnings from a relatively
unsatisfactory level a year ago.
Twenty-six steel companies rolled
up profit* of $28,134,000 against $6,-
866.000 a year ago, despite the de-
cline in operations since November.
Fourteen food companies, on the
other hand, increaser their first
quarter net income only slightly
from $17,091,000 to $17,656,000. Sev-
eral companies in the group showed
smaller profits than a year ago as
prices of wheat, corn and other raw
materials rose faster than priesa ob-
tained far manufactured food prod-
Eamingt of pulp and paper manu-
facturers reflected the higher prices
prevailing since the war jeopardised
shipments from Scandinavian coun-
tries. Profit# of seven companies
totaled $2,644,000 compared with
$1,267,000 a year ago.
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Bort visited
relatives in Caddo Sunday. R. C.
Reid of Caddo returned home with
them for a visit.
