Power Earnings Decline
Montana Company Reports $6,
851,981 Gross in 1919
Gross earnings of the Montana Power
Company for the year ended December
81, 1?19, declined 10 per cent from the
preceding year. Early in the year, ac?
cording to the annual report issued
yesterday, the mining and smelting in?
dustries in Montana began curtailment
of production, which continued during
tho year owing to the large stocks of
metr.ls on hand in this country and
abroad at the close of tho war. Gen?
eral business in this state suffered
from tho curtailment as also from the
severe draught during the summer and
from the coal miner's strike in the lat?
ter part of the year and these condi?
tions, the report states, effected the
company's earnings.
Total earnings last year amounted
to $6,851,981, compared with $7,609,
S68 in 1918. Owing to higher costs of
materials and increases in wages oper?
ating costs increased, being placed at
$2,450,674. Interest charges aggregat?
ed $1,805,677, leaving a $2,595,630 sur?
plus. Reserve for depreciation to?
taled $300,000, a falling off of $100.000
1rom the year before. After $128,575
lor losses suffered through the sale of
government bonds had been deducted,
bahmce to surplus account was $2,
167,055.
In his report to stockholders John
D. Ryan, president, said: "Since the
close of 1919 business conditions have
Improved generally in Montana. Tho
copper and zinc mines and reduction
plants have increased operations, the
silver mining industry has revived', and
m substantial amount of new business
has resulted from it. If the genera!
business of the country suffers no se?
rious reverses during the coming year,
we can expect a considerable increase
in revenue over past years."

K. W. Bliss Earned $70.22
On Common Stock in 1919
The annual report of the E. W. Bliss
company, munition manufacturers, for
1919, issued yesterday, dislosed net
earnings of $1,855,524, which, after pre?
ferred dividend disbursements of $100.
000, was equivalent to $70.22 a share
earned on the common stock, compared
with $1,171,.153, or $46.85 a share in
3918. Holders of the common stock
shared $562,500 in dividends, leaving
$1,193,024 surplus. After adjustments
of $50,S23 had been deducted, profit and
loss surplus was $17,274,080.
Directors of the company stated that
as yet no formal discussion of common
dividends had taken place. Tho chair?
man declared that at the next meeting
ofMhe board, about six weeks, it was
possible that some consideration would
be given to the advisability of recom?
mending a stock dividend.

Appoints Budget Committee
Alfred E. Marling, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the State of
New York, yesterday appointed a com?
mittee on the national budget consist?
ing of Charles D. Freeman, Deonor F.
Loree, Howard C. Smith, James Brown
and Felix M. Warburg. This appoint?
ment was authorized at the March
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Had there existed at Washington
during the last two years a central su?
pervisory system performing the plan?
ning and checking functions, there is no
doubt but that the taxpayers of the
country would have been saved mil?
lions and even billions of dollars," Mr.
Marling said, in announcig the new
committee.
"The real national need relative to j
Federal appropriations is to spend
money where it is actually required
and not where some one desires it to
be spent; it is national interest above
mere local interest.
"The United States government, em?
ploying 1,000,000 people and spend?
ing between $4,000,000,000 and $5,000,
000,000 annually, is one of the largest
business concerns in the world, cer?
tainly the largest without a business or
financial manager. Despite the fact
that both political parties have in?
serted planks in their platforms favor?
ing a national budget, there is no indi?
vidual or committee or bureau at
Washington to correlate the govern?
mental activities or governmental ex?
penditures. The results have been
waste, extravagance and much 'pork.' "

Profit Taking
Puts Prices Down
On Curb Market
Early Gains Wiped Out as
Outside Traders Sell
Heavily; High-Priced Oils
and Industrials Suffer
Stocks in the outside market suf?
fered a setback In an active trading
session yesterday. On heavy profit
taking, combined with a renewal oi
i selling for the short account, prices
receded sharply in many instances.
The market started out strongly and
gains were well held during the first
half hour. However, when the big
board issues displayed a tendency to?
ward reaction later in the day, the out?
side market followed that lead and de
"clined.
High priced oils generally were
lower at the end of the day. Houston
which has displayed a vigorous tone
of strength for several days, dropped
back to 115 after rising to 120. Gen?
eral Asphalt, classed as an industrial,
but which is speculative because of its
oil possibilities, sold off rapidly aftei
an early display of strength. At the
close it was only a few points above
? Par<
| Elk Basin Petroleum continued
strong on the announcement that, the
Ohio Oil Company has completed a
: well in the Rock River field, Wyoming.
: which flowed 1,460 barrels in the first
! twenty-four hours. Elk Basin is op
; crating jointly in this field with the
! Ohio company, and has a substantial
interest in this new completion.
American Safety Razor displayed
! early strength on active covering by
! shorts, but lost part of its gain in the
afternoon decline. United States
Steamship was very active around 3.
Since the news of the revolution in
Germany Russian external bonds trad?
ed in on the Curb have shown a de?
clining tendency. Yesterday both is?
sues receded to 33% on light dealings.
They recently sold close to 40.

"Foreign Trade Through Foreign investment?"
A Comparison
of French Government Loans
4% Loan of 1917 5% Victory Loan
5% Loan of 1920
IN view of the interest in French Government Internal Loans it
has become necessary for bankers as well as investors to have
at their disposal a comparison of the principal issues. We have
therefore prepared a chart which gives for each issue the present.
income in francs and in dollars, with a 1 c. change in the value of
the franc from 7c. to 19c, the increase in income as the franc
recovers its exchange value, and the% comparative profits and
income at current rates for each loan.
Also a graphic chart which shows the fluctuations in the
French 3% and 5% Rentes since 1798.
This chart should be in the hands of every banker, manu?
facturer, exporter and investor for present and future reference.
