that June was the greatest month In
Acacia's 75-year history.
It also marked the 14th consecutive month
in which production has been higher than any other such month.
March of this year was the previous high month, but this great
record did not stand for 90 days. ? June. 1943, which up to that time
was
the best June cn record, was topped by a 35%
increase.

Quite appropriately the outstanding production of June also marked
the close of the greatest half-year the company has ever known.
The
$42 910,000 placed was 47%
greater than the same period last year.
A net'increase of $31,640,000, also the largest ever recorded, was 67%

DeBothezat
Ventilating Equipment Division—Company's
fans and
blowers have been developed and improved from axial flow types of
fans formerly manufactured by DeBothezat Impeller Co., Inc., which
was founded in 1C2S.
The equipment is used in vent sets, roof venti¬
lators. bifurcators and for cooling internal combustion engines.
Riehle Testing Machine Division—The
testing machine • business is
the oldest of the
company's'lines, dating back to 1826.
Company
manufactures screw-powered and hydraulic testing machines of capaci¬
ties from 10,000 to 300,000 pounds, and on special order, larger sizes,
capable of performing tensile, torsion and compression tests on metal?,
cement, and other materials.
Other equipment in the line is designed
for impact and hardness tests.
Under a contract with Vickers. Ltd.,
of England
the company is sole United States agent, for sale of
Vickers hardness testers.
Customers for the company's testing equipment include metal working and producing industries, foundries, highway departments, private and Government laboratories and educational
institutions.
Way-time, production has. brought about increased use 01
precision testing machines as nroduction tools for etep-by-steu. checktesting in metal working industries and this may lead to more general
post-war use in manufacturing and construction work. .-v.
Renegotiation—Company has made final settlement in respect to all
business subject to renegotiation to Dec. 2J,"1943.
No provislpn has
been
made in the company's 1943 accounts for reduction in profit
(which will be after deduction of Federal excess profits taxes applic*: able
to any reduction of the-gross proceeds of the contracts) which
may result from renegotiation for the year '1943.
Renegotiation pro¬
ceedings-for that year have not been commenced.; If a refund were
( required on the1 same general basis as the settlement for the preceding
year, the net nrofit for 1943 would be reduced by about,; $70,000.
It is
? the opinion of the company's officers that because of the substantial
price reductions made during the year, no renegotiation refund should
required for- 194:3

"Upon such mergers being effected," the petition states, "the unified
systems; for the distribution arid sale of electric energy and gas to the
public in the City of New York and Westchester County, formerly oper-.:
ated by the Consolidated company under a corporate structure consisting of a number of separate corporate units, would be directly

The mergers would eliminate such
due to the continuance of the five

taxes, as are
separate corporate
as well
as inter-company transactions.
The termination through the proposed
mergers of the separate corporate existence of the several companies
proposed to be merged would result in economies in administration

To safe¬

not to appeal is for this reason in the best interests of the corpora¬

Moreover the taking of an
appeal would necessarily have prolonged a period of legal uncertainty
and would have left the railroad users of sleeping-car service and the
railroad buyers who have been accustomed to look to Pullman-Standard
for supplies of
both freight and passenger equipment, hampered in
their dealings with the Pullman group of companies, both in the im¬
mediate future and in the long range planning of the railroads for the

4,000,000,000 feet was produced with the new method of manu¬
which employs a liquid rubber latex.
It was developed at
the
company's
Bristol plant and perfectly centers the conductor
within the insulation and eliminates as far as possible many of the
defects and short circuits by improperly applied insulation.
According to figures made public today, more than 2,567,000,000
leet of this wire was of the osault type, used as a conductor in all
front line communications work.
Some insight as to the demands for this type of material may be
seen from the following figures.
During 1942 more than 1,222,000,000
feet were manufactured at the Bristol plant alone.

neither the amount nor the degree of increase in this
kind of financing was representative of the great expan¬
sion in industrial activity for the; past five years.
In
times of normal business growth,/there is ordinarily
an ^attendant of new capital financing. yThe present in¬
dustrial boom is, of course, not a normal one, but one
arising from our defense and war programs and pur¬
chases
by the United Nations under the lend-lease
program on account of the war. The reflection of such
a boom is not unnaturally found; in; the United: States
Treasury's financing operations rather than in the cor¬
porate figures.v New i indebtedness i incurred by -the
Treasury for the • half year through: the public sale
of its securities amounted to the stupendous/total of
$64,112,840/765 as compared with $49,746,876,044 and $19,369,446,427 for the,/first half/of 1943 and/1942, re¬

Such offerings are permitted at present on the New York

a
marked decrease from the output in ihe preceding month, the
respective totals being $31,454,008 and $150,854,766.
The relatively
poor showing in the recent month was not unexpected and,. actually,
the volume of sales was in line with the reduced output that has
been in evidence throughout the war period.
The unusually high
total recorded for the month of May was largely the result of ihe
disposal in that period of several issues of strikingly large propor¬
tions.
These included offerings of $56,000,000 by the California Toll
Bridge Authority and $41,533,000 by the Consumers Public Power
District, Neb.
In addition, the market was called upon to absorb a
number of other loans of important size, such as $11,000,000 by the
Chicago, 111., Board of Education, $6,400,000 Erie County, N. Y., $6,040,000 Chattanooga, Tenn., and $5,738,000 by the Memphis Hous¬
ing Authority, Tenn.
During June, however, there were no sales in
the $5,000,000 category, although the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of
New York concluded a
liquidation operation embracing various
blocks of State and municipal bonds having an aggregate par value
of $15,356,000.
Offerings of this nature are not included in our
tabulations, although they have become an important factor in mar¬
ket operations and serve to compensate for the reduced volume of
financing negotiated by States and local taxing units per se because
