New York, Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller Inc., Ladd Furniture Inc. and Navistar International Corp. are among the stocks liked by Oscar Schafer, a member of Cumberland Associates LLC, Barron's reported in its ''Roundtable '99'' issue. Schafer likes growth prospects at Steelcase and Herman Miller because they've both developed new designs for office furniture, and Navistar because he sees steady income growth at the company from its medium trucks and diesel engines. Schafer also recommends Boron, LePore & Associates Inc., Monsanto Co. and Brunswick Corp., Barron's said.
Navistar and Delco Remy International Inc., a maker of automobile starters and alternators, formed a joint venture last month to rebuild engines and provide parts for medium-duty trucks.
