Marionetted Finance

New Haven was fine old property few
years ago. It was solid It became pet"
Some pumped it full of water and II Is
waterlogged. Some pumped Steel full of
water at the outset and sold the water at cham
payne prices. Now they the water has been
squeezed out of Steel. Perhaps it has been, but
one has yet heard that people who have gone
down into Wall Street have got their feet wet
When the water is squeezed out Of Steel every
in Wall Street will put goloshes.
The price of New Haven permitted to
slump to Is because investors hold the stock.
The price of Steel Common has been held by
main strength in all probability because the pool
in 1t Is up to it's neck in stock. The Wall
Street Journal had article Saturday which
should be read by New England people who hold
Steel Common for investment" It says:
BASED upon prices and shipments the Steel
Corporation will do well If 1t can show the full
per cent earned the common stock after
this month. 1t has to contend with increasing
operating costs and with lower prices and de-
creased shipments sharp contraction In income
should not surprise shareholders"
The following from the Wall Street Journal
also shows how the water has been squeezed
out of Steel:
I'm connection with United States Steeps
dividend prospects 1t Is interesting to note that
including this year the Steel Corporation will
have spent in the last three years nearly $780,
100000 for construction. Surplus after
dividends in the same period this year esti-
mated. will amount to- approximately. $3.50
600. Therefore the Steel Corporations expen-
ditures for construction In three years have ex-
ceeded final surplus by about $4,000. O00 Had
the corporation appropriated from surplus suf-
dcient money to cover the three years expendi-
lures, 1t would have been compelled to report a
deficit of $57.ooo.ooo. large part of the money
for construction purposes the last three
years came from proceeds Of bond sales"
