In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals are larger by 17.1%, in the Richmond Reserve District by 16.2% arid in the Atlanta Reserve District by 14.6%.

This was equivalent to 78 cents per share on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. V "It frequently becomes necessary to make substantial charges against earnings of a particular "uarter which have no direct relation to the operations, of that quarter. Thus, the earnings records of any single quarter should not be taken as indicative of a trend. Later adjust¬ ments may necessarily result in substantial modifications, in either direction. For the second quarter of 1942 net income available for the common stock amounted to $22,318,663, equivalent to 51 cents "During the first six months of 1943," Mr. Sloan of war materials accounted for 94% of all products . per common common income for the second quarter and dividends for the $^9.380,195. comnared with available for stock for the first six months of 1943 amounted to $64,801,085, the on 11.

In the first six months of 1942, the provision for taxes was based upon the Tax Bill as passed by the House of Representatives on July 20, 1942, and included $7,798,000 for United States excess profits taxes.
