Profits Shrink as Money Costs Rise in Industry
Henry Clews warns higher money costs squeeze profits across the economy. July railroad gross earnings rose by 15.5 million, but increased expenses, mainly labor, fuel, and materials, left net gains of only 2.4 million. Seven months show about 111 million gross with 93 million eaten by costs, reducing net rise to under 18 million. Demand may falter while rail traffic holds. A bright note: the corn crop remains safe from frost.
