THE STEEL MARKET.

stee producers are hopeful that tho
volume OF business to be placed In June
will show improvement over the record
OF last month. Their confidence, how
ever. is tempered by the knowledge that
July Is invariably dull month, and hence
no brisk buying movement OF any con-
siderable duration IL looked for in tho
immediate future. With the crop outlook
so favorable. II Is the general belief that
all that IL needed to send the railroad 3
into the market Is q decision favorable
to them In tho pending freight rate in
crease matter.
Pittsburg reports new orders running
at about 90 per cent. OF capacity and
operations running at about that rate.
Current average steel prices are now less
than 81 above the lowest OF November,
1911. which, In view OF the increased cost
Of manufacture, means that many lines
OF steel are being turned out at next to
no profit
The Daily Iron Trade says: "Pennsyi-
vania Railroad asks bids on its specifca-
tons for steel rail. which have been re-
vised from those originally proposed as
too costly. Increased activity In foundry
grades OF pig Iron Is stirring markets
at Chicago and In New York. with proba-
bilities brighter for sales OF fair ton
nages in the aggregate. Inquiry In the
finished steel markets Is dropping 70 an
extremely low point"

Another "Crfsis" Pa ssea.

Tho Missouri Pacific has been saved
again. That II to say. q property stag
gering along for years under a topheavy
burden OF fxed charges plus Gould man
agement has been given a new lease OF
life at the cost OF another addition to the
burden In the shape OF a higher interest
rate. Under the circumstances the fnan-
cial community was not particularly
cheered by the event. The reason there
for Is not obscure. While tho road has
squeezed past another crisis In Its af-
fairs, Wall Street views the development
simply as another makeshift and post
ponement Of the inevitable. In the process
the credit OF the company has not been
advanced in the slightest degree toward
the point where Its securities will COM
mand the confidence of the investor. Be-
fore any Improvement In that direction
can be made the financial structure OF
the system will have to be reorganlzed
along the lines suggested in the Kuhn.
Loeb letter to the management few weeks
ago, And since II appears that the hand
OF the Goulds Is to rule the destinies of
the property for a while longer the street
is probably justified In its Idea that no
great hopes are held out on that score
There was a rather significant sinking
spell In the stock when IL became known
that the extension plan would become
operative Tho previous strength was eN-
plained on the theory that for the pres
ent IL appeared that the stock had es-
capped an assessment

Liquidation or NotY

New Haven fell TO within fraction OF
the low price made following the passing
OF the dividend last fall. II has approached
that price before but whether for good
reasons or not a greater significance IS
attached TO the performance on tho pres
ent occasion. The decline to below Go In
the spring was attributed solely to a ro-
action on technical grounds. because pre-
viousiy tremendously overcrowded short
position had advanced the stock in extraor-
binary fashion Now there IL seemingly
no such reason available, and perhaps that
Is why many observers suspect that
liquidation from real holders has broken
out anew. Considering what the stock
holders have gone through, II II suggested
that selling at this time could only be
provoked by n superlative motive. such as
fears OF something deeply serious. like a
receivership.

INNOCENT AND TRUsTFUL

An innocent farmer once sought out phren-
ologist and asked that his bumps be read"
In revealing to the farmer his temperament
as shown by the aforesaid bumps, the professor
said:
Your tastes are the simple, homely ones of
the farmer. You are a farmer, are you not? All!
thought so. And am right as to your tastes, am
not? You are sadly deficient in judgment, and
have little knowledge of human nature. Your in
nocent and trustful disposition renders you an
easy dupe: t o designing men,"
The following week, it appears the phrenolo-
gist bought horse from the innocent farmer. AL
though the nag was old and in bad condition, it
had been made to appear young and skittish.
TITS wonderful" said the farmer to friend as
he proceeded to bank to deposit his money. tits
wonderful that man should know so much about
men and not a thing about horses

LASTING CURE

A well-known professor was often annoyed
by two Italians playing a street-organ before his
house. Giving his servant some money, he told
her that whenever she heard an organ she was to
go out and pay the owners to take it away. This
was a failure. The men, instead. of coming once
a week, came twice.
One day the sound of the organ disturbed the
professor while working at certain lecture. This
so annoyed him that he rushed out and ordered
the men away They refused to go unless he gave
them more money. Enraged at this impertinence,
he raced down the street in search of policeman.
Just as he turned the corner of the street he
met sergeant marching nine patrolmen to their
beats. Without speaking, he turned and walked
alongside the procession. When they turned the
corner the Italians saw the professor with the DO
hcemen. 1t was enough. They went and never
came back
