the record may fairly be termed remarkable.. On nine months ta~^. September 30, American Steel Foundries earned a balance above”. depreci ition, interest and sinking fund of $5,186,785. ~ This is equal to $3001 per share on the §17,-- 184,000 stock. Profits recovered: in the September quarter... In the March three months the company earned $2,491,402 for. its stock. The June figures showed net for the shares cut in two with a total of $1,283,378. The September quarter recorded a betterment íu the share balance to $,502,0J6. Excess profits taxes of American Steel Foundries will be heavy this year. This is because profits have been abnormal. For the nine months the company aet up. $1,500,000 as its estimate of the war tax. The final quarter will likely see $500,000 appropriated for this purpose. This means that during the fiscal year to December 31 next, Steel Foundries is likely to earn between 36 and 38 per cent' for its stock, of which be tween 11 and 12 per cent. will have to be deducted for excess

balance of $26 ́or $27 per share. Even this is well above the 19.89 per cent earned in 1915, up to that time for and away above any other record the company had ever attained. Steel Foundries is doing a lot of work for. the Government, and the volume and importance of this work. both promise to increase as time goes on and the war needs of the. Government are intensified.
