NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
Further Increases Expected
Despite Climb in Oper
ating Costs.
Special Dispatch lo The Star
j NEW YORK, March 22.—111 spite
I of rising labor and other operating
| costs, further earnings gains for elec
j trical equipment manufacturers are
[ indicated for 1937, according to a new
analysis appearing in Poor's Industry
and Investment Surveys
Orders booked by 78 manufacturers
in 1936 totaled $763,431,009, a 41 per
I cent gain over 1935. Sales and pro
i duction of some household appliances,
such as refrigerators, established new
all-time records last year Sales and
output of electrical construction ma
; terials and industrial equipment like
j wise registered substantial gains but
i fell short, however, of former peaks.
"The recovery movement with its
expanding consumer purchasing pow
er and broadened industrial activity
is responsible for the sharply ex
panding ,ales of electrical household
appliances and industrial equipment,''
continues the analysis.
"In adition, increased electric light
and fiower output, hovering at or near
peak levels, has forced utilities to ex
pand their purchases of new equip
ment. Utility construction expendi
j tures last year were $275,000,000, some
43 per cent greater than in 1935 and
j more than double the 1933 low of
$129,000,000. However, expenditures
remain far below pre-depression levels,
last year's outlay representing only
about 30 per cent of the 1930 peak of
$9:9.000 000
‘Were it not for pending court de
cisions and overhanging legislation
adverse to utilities, electric light and
power companies would be more free
to undertake large-scale replacement
and expension programs Neverthe
less. new equipmeni necessitated bv
expanding electric light and power
production, combined with the in
creasing replacement demand, sug
gests that electrical equipment manu
facturers should experience sharp
gains in sales to utilities this year."

LLOYD’S TO COMPLY
WITH STATE LAWS
New Company Formed at London
to Help Meet Requirements for
U. S. Operations.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 22—A company
has been registered called the ‘ Ad
ditional Companies,’’ with a capital of
£365,000 ($1,825,0001 to assist members
of Lloyd’s underwriters in connection

Committee of Lloyd's Only members
of the committee may be directors.
It is understood, says the Financial

plying with the laws of certain coun
tries. which require all foreign in
surance companies to make deposits
and to comply with formalities before
being allowed to undertake insurance
business in the country.
This applies particularly to some of
the States in Amerlra. where there is
a large demand for insurance at
Lloyd's, but where it has been impos
sible for Lloyd's underwriters to com
ply with State insurance laws.
