These distributions have been charged against capital surplus. • The bleachery for the 12 months ended Sept, 30, 1943, showed a net income, after depreciation charges, of $231,652. This amount com-:; pares with $270,546 in 1942 and $202,888 in 1941. After deducting administrative expenses and reserves fdr Federal income and excess profits taxes and Missouri, income tax, and after adding miscellaneousincome, the net earnings of the company were $100,040, or approxi¬ mately $4.08 per share. In 1942 the comparable net earnings were™. $5.35, and in 1941 $5.67, per share. The marked reduction this year reflects, to a great degree, the full impact of the 1942 Federal tax laws which, due to our fiscal year,'were applicable in 1942 to only three months of that fiscal year/ and also reflects the somewhat lessened earnings of the plant as compared to last year. .7.7Y77 U. 7 for depreciation Sales U.

Enclose a for $204, . payable Municipal Bond Sales In December And The Calendar Year IM3 - ;; and municipal financing effected in the closing month of 1943, the total was no more than $17,378,044, was in keeping with the wartime trend of such borrow- , ing. Again, as in previous months of the year, issues for refunding purposes bulked large in the December output, and the record for, the entire year shows that offerings in that category represented. approximately 60% of the grand total of sales for the entire 12 months. This was the largest percentage of refunding offerings brought out in any 12 months period, although the dollar volume was considerably smaller than was the case in some of the earlier years, particularly in 1940 and 1941, The impact of wartime restrictions on municipal financing in 1943, resulting from greater shortages of materials and manpower, in that period, is seen in the fact that despite exceedingly favorable market conditions and the existence of greater investment demand than ever, the grand total of sales for the year was only $435,223,191. This was the smallest aggregate of any year since 1918 when the disposals were $298,525*458, and, it may be noted, was even some The small volume of long-term State Volume THE COMMERCIAL & FINANCIAL CHRONICLE Number 4249 159 ,$100,000,000 less than the 1933 total of $520,478,023, which latter was the period when municipal credit in general, owing to widespread defaults, etc., was at its lowest ebb. Referring again to the 1943 output, it should be noted that the total emissions of only $435,223,191 included no less than $259,481,836 for refunding purposes. In the preceding year, sales amounted to $523,704,607 and the refunding figure was $181,264,294. In connection with the grand aggregate for 1943, or any previous for that matter, it should be recorded that our figures do not include the so-called secondary offerings or issues placed with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation or any other federal agency, exyear subsequently liquidated by such bodies. totals, the results of the bond exchange offerings by Philadelphia, Pa., in recent years, also the financing incurred by the City of New York in 1940 incident to its acquisition of local subway facilities. ; ; With regard to secondary offerings, representing sales of hold¬ ings by insurance companies and public sinking funds, it has been estimated that the total of such liquidations was in the neighborhood of $200,000,000 in 1943, Such operations, of course, were carried out by sources to whom the tax-exempt feature on municipals was not of material significance and for the purpose of reinvesting the pro¬ ceeds in government obligations. As a result of the extremely high prices commanded by State and municipal bonds generally through¬ out 1943, these liquidations were effected at "fancy" prices and re¬ sulting large profits to the sellers. The successful bidders for such business, in turn, had no difficulty in placing the obligations among other investors. The diminished supply of new instruments put out by public bodies, coupled with the further enhancement of the value of the tax-exempt feature by virtue of the constant increase in the Federal tax burden, served to" emphasize the demand for municipals despite steadily advancing prices. The only important exceptions to the trend of higher prices obtained during the periods of the various war loan drives and throughout the larger part of November, when the general price level sharply receded as a result of the incidence of strong peace rumors. Most of the loss experienced in that month was subsequently regained and at the close of 1943 the various price indexes showed substantial increases above the levels which prevailed at the year-opening. - TVT ; l- TTT fv v TTT. Referring again to operations during the closing month of the past year, we find that temporary borrowing in that period totaled $79,617,500, of which $43,467,000 was accounted for by local housing authority note awards and $2$,000,000 by the City of New York, which disposed of revenue bills in- that amount.
