below the 1948 level.
The
current
level
of
operations has been made possible to
an
important degree by
new
plants and machinery which have been
completed since the war, Mr. Figgis said.
The company's future program of plant expansion and installation
of new machinery to bring capacity into line with expanding require¬
ments will, he said, remain on a flexible basis, adjustable to conditions
in customer industries. -However, he added, the need for new facilities
is inescapable
in many specialized fields where the company's sales
and research departments have created new packaging methods with
consequent expansion of customer demand for
special-purpose con¬
tainers.
Barring unforeseen developments, these demands justify 1949
capital improvements considerably greater than the $26,000,000 average
of the last three years, Mr. Figgis said.—V, 169, p. 597.

Company believes that it is the fifth largest
company operating principally in the small loan field.
Tne
company,
out cf its own capital or
borrowings, provides its
subsidiaries with the money necessary to permit them to conduct their
respective businesses. The operating offices of its subsidiaries are man¬
aged
through Security Bankers Management Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the company, the personnel of which furnishes super¬
visory, accounting and auditing services to such operating offices.
The business of the
company
and its subsidiaries requires only a
relatively small investment in fixed assets, their resources being .prin¬
cipally invented in a large number of self-liquidating obligations.
All
the oilices operated by the subsidaries as well as the executive offices
of the company are leased, and
neither the company nor any of its.
subsidiaries owns any substantial amount of physical property other
than office furniture and fixtures and a small amount of real estate.

by transporting such gas to the
Greater St. Louis
area
through a pipe line to be constructed and
owned by the corporation.
The main transmission line was constructed/
in 1929 and put into operation in November of that year.
The system
extends from northern Louisiana to the Greater St. Louis area, which
includes the industrial communities in Illinois
extending from East
•St. Louis to Alton.
The capacity of the system,
originally 100,000
xncf per day, has been increased from time to time and now amounts
to an average daily sales volume of about 175,000 mcf of gas.
,-/v
The corporation is not a
producer of gas. Until recently, it pur¬
chased all its gas from suppliers in the Monroe field in Louisiana.
Since the supply in the Monroe field is diminishing, the corporation
in 1945 entered into a contract/ extending to 1966, with United Gas
Pipe Line Co. whereby the corporation's • requirements in excess of
the supply available to it

will appear
inasmuch as the week
ends Saturday, and the Saturday figures are not available at time of going to press.
Accordingly, in the above the last day of the week in all cases has to be estimated.
In the elaborate detailed-statement, however, which we present further below
we are able to give final and complete results of the week
previous — the week
fending April 16. For that week there was a decrease of 5.0%, the aggregate of
clearings for the whole country having amounted to $13,753,638,439 against $14,482,105,612 in the same week in 1948. Outside of this city there was a gain of 2.9%, the
bank clearings at this center have recorded a decrease |of 12.6%. We group the cities
according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this
it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show a loss
of 12.0% and in the Boston Reserve District of 4.2% but in the Philadelphia Reserve
District the totals show a gain of 7.6%. In the Cleveland Reserve Dsitrict the totals
are larger by 4.6% and in the Atlanta Reserve District by 8.7%, but in the Richmond
Reserve District the totals are smaller by 5.7%
The Chicago Reserve District has
to its credit an improvement of 7.6%, the St. Louis Reserve District of 3.5% and in
the Minneapolis Reserve District the totals are larger by 17.0%. In the Kansas City
Reserve District the totals register a decrease of 5.4%, in .the Dallas Reserve District
of 3.4% and in the San Francisco Reserve District of 5.4%.
