United States Steel points the way.
There are opportunities remaining,
bargain stocks remaining, many Of
them-one made particularly notable
by the fact that z per cent is being
earned upon it-over Z per cent
while still it sells around 30-about
where United States Steel had its
bottom price last year.
This stock is Vulcan DEFINING
common. There are, all told, only
10000 shares of 1.-THE smallest cap
ital listed upon the New York Stock
Exchange. In the general markets
broad expansion Vulcan DEFINING
has simply been overloOked-Other-
wise, alert bargain hunters, informed
of it's present situation, would not
permit such an anomaly as exists in
the contrast between its intrinsic value
and the insignificant market figure at
which it is quoted-fOr there is only
one intelligent answer to the question:
us a stock upon which Z per cent
dividend is earned worth less than
500"

metal stock upon the Stock Exchange earning

Indication Of the commercial results may be had
from consideration OF the fact that pig tin

a further side light upon the Vulcan Detnnings

Is to Venezuela. except that he has con-

parted from Ben Bow the other night for
his home In Upper Alton. where 1t Is
charged he has slept every night since
the village was founded. except when hc
slept on the ballot boxes Tuesday night,
he left the city government to care for
