Stuck with Goldfinger. Buyers of the less expensive models seemed even more excited than those in the high-priced market. Mrs. William Appleton of Newton, Mass., for instance, was so thrilled about owning a 1933 Rolls-Royce coupe with custom coachwork by Freestone and Webb that right after the sale she couldn't remember how much she had bid ($5,400). John and Elizabeth Harriet took a chance on a tiller-steered 1907 Sears Runabout, bid in for $850, only afterward discovered that their antique had been found under a haystack ten miles from their home...
Cost of the Contretemps. If the recent surge in market trading continues, the city will lose little if any stock-transfer tax revenue, which has grown from $166 million in fiscal 1967 to $242 million this year. For the Big Board, the cost of the contretemps may be considerable but bearable. Estimates are that the $80 million complex that it scrapped two years ago would cost at least $20 million more today...
Special Taxes. Whatever they finally get, the cost will certainly aggravate French industry's already tight profit squeeze. The workers were largely justified in their demands, since their wages lag behind those in every other Common Market country except Italy. But despite its relatively low payrolls, French industry, plagued by inefficiencies in production and distribution, has yielded slender profit margins. State-owned Renault, for example, earns less than a 1% return on sales, compared with 5% for West Germany's Volkswagen. Compagnie Francaise des Petroles works on a 4.5% profit margin v. 8.6% for Royal Dutch/Shell...
France's payments position stands to get an additional jolt on July 1, when the Common Market is due to abolish all remaining tariffs on trade between member nations. At the same time, the Market is scheduled to introduce uniform external tariffs, which will promptly be reduced in accordance with Kennedy Round agreements. This figures to hurt France, since it presently enjoys some of the highest tariff levels of any of the six Common Market members. Elimination of all tariffs within the Market, meanwhile, will completely open French borders to the goods of such powerful trading partners as West...
This week, with the backing of some 2 500 Negroes who have invested $152,000 in the project, Walker & Co. will open Harlem's first cooperative super market. Located in Esplanade Gardens Cooperative, a middle-income apartment complex, the moderate-sized (10,000 sq. ft.) store will be the chief market not only for the 1,870-apartment development but also for surrounding tenement blocks. Its key asset, however will be its owner-customers, some of whom were enlisted by teen-agers selling $5 shares. The coop, says Miss Walker, 42, a practicing Harlem attorney, is the first Harlem...
