THE STEEL MARKET.
Wire Rods Are 60 Cents q Ton
Lower Than a Week Awo.

Steel prices are beginning to respond
10 the very poor trade conditions. The
iron Age reports wire rods at s26 per
ton. compared with $3.50 week ago.
Among finished products iron bars in the
Philadelphia market are off go cents a
ton Prices In general are less firm than
week ago and 1t IL probable that con-
cessions would be made to obtain sizable
. tonnages.
Many mills are operating at around
90 per cent. OF capacity, and unless orders
show some expansion 1t Is likely that
operations will fall to a materially lower
level. The railroads are buying on
strictly hand to mouth scale. and the alb
sence OF this business Is sorely felt.
The Iron Trade RevieW says
New business in iron and steel ma
terials. particularly in finished products,
has continued to taper off, and the mar
ket has become quite sluggish. This sit
uation. 1t IL believed. more clearly re-
fleets the policies for the contraction OF
loans and the conservation of resources
that are being pursued generally by the
banks and other agencies OF credit. There
is n lack OF initiative. which. while II
Is appreciated proceeds from measures
of providence, leaves the near future or
the iron and steel industry rather
uncertain. Passing OF dividends by
some leading companies shows the
expedients now being employed In the
steel trade 10 meet the extraordinary con-
ditions which have arisen. on the whole,
consumers while cautious in taking on
new obligations are drawing against their
old contracts in fairly satisfactory
manner. There continues much inquiry
for iron and steel products for foreign
buyers Only limited proportion OF
these negotiations, however. has resulted
in orders, and this has not been sufficient
TO change tho heavy tone impaired by
domestic inactivity. Buying OF steel by
the railroads IL at low ebb. In equip
ment lines IL Is practically blank. The
hope, and in some quarters the expecta-
ton Is expressed that the present period
OF conservatism Is in preparation for
better things soon to some. In all dis
trlcts the pig iron market holds TO its
recent course OF light Inquiries and sales"

PUBLIC UTILITIES.
American Public Utilities.

According to the anuai report Of the Ameri-
can Public Utilities Company for the fiscal
year ended June 30. 1914 gross earnings were
n3l9.594 an Increase of slt per cent. over
the preceding twelve months. Operating
expenses were 1916 per cent. larger and
net earnings from operation Of subsidiary
properties amounted 70 f9s0.sI9. an Increase
Of 80 per cent. The large Increase In
operating expenses was due to abnormal eI-
peudi'ures for maintenance at Indianapolis
and La Crosse following the acquisition OF
these properties and to the expenditure of
approximately 100000 In seeking new busi-
ness In these two localities. Fixed charges
for the year totalled t375.3s7. and after pay
ing out s23i,s4O IN preferred dividends thers
was "a balance OF SliO.5fI. The company ls
now serving 3.0i7 gas and 3.lii electric new
customers. Expenditures during the fiscal
year for extensions and additions 20 subsld-
larry properties aggregated s79tl79, against
which bonds Of subsidiary companies have
been issued and sold amounting to SSS7,OU0.

OIL stocks.

Probably the market nearest TO the
opening point is that for Standard Oil
securities. In the last several days there
has been good deal of discussion OF
methods and plans for resumption. The
report among some dealers is that there
Is an increasing volume OF inquiries and
orders and that the buying orders are
predominant. The stocks have sustained
a heavy fan. This. however. has prob
ably not disrupted the loan situation as
would 4 similar fall in ordinary stocks be-
cause OF the large amount of cash dealing
I'm the oil securities and the fact that the
bulk of them are hold outright in strong
hands. The custom OF cash transactions
forms ground for believing that steps
viii be undertaken shortly 10 open up. QUO
tations II Is said. show an encouraging
recovery from day to day. II the stand
ard oil securities market is the first to
open, II will be an interesting study to
watch how. with all the speculative force
OF Wall Street concentrated on this one
spot stocks that have been known TO
move 100 points and more in a day will
behave.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Expiainins Bank Statements.

fact not generally appreciated in
the Issue of emergency currency Is that
the amount Of 1t In actual use by the
banks Is considerably less than the
amounts they have taken. Though they
may have deposited the securities neces-
sary to take out n large block OF circu-
lating notes, In many cases the larger
part OF these have remained unissucd.
Bank officers explained yesterday the APP
parent broad discrepancy between GER
tain items In the bank statements appear
ling. which Is accounted for by this fnct.
This apparent discrepancy caused some
misgiving until the explanation made II
clear that II was more a cause for grati-
fication. The National City Bunk state
ment shows that other securities than
United States bonds. deposited to secure
circulation, amounted to Si0,950,S05. In
the liability side Of the account the ma
tional bank notes outstanding were shown
to amount to but sl6.4lS.000. This diff
ference existed. because a big part of
the notes received were either still In the
vaults of the bank unissued or had not
yet been received from Washington.

Far neld.

II is n far cry from New York to China,
especially TO agriculture in China, hut
some day some one is going to teach the
Chinese that they need modern farm ma
chinery to get the best out of their land.
The International Harvester Corporation
passed Its dividend on the common stock
yesterday because the business OF the
company In the combating European
countries is almost at a standstill. The
International Harvester Corporation,
whose business IL the foreign field. needs
no geography OF the countries that are
open TO receive Its product. The condl-
tions In China are without doubt well
known to IL. The troublesome factors Of
credit. banking and exchange faclitiee are
even more obstructive in China than In
South America to our trade. But coun-
try OF vast acreage, the greatest nation
OF the world In millions OF population and
with only one great industry. and that
farming. invites big effort on the part Of
this country. the leader In the develop
ment OF farm machinery. 1t Is true that
abundant labor there makes the need for
big machinery less. But already great
land owners in China are sending their
sons TO be educated at American agricul-
tural schools. They are trying modern
farm machinery. The present time. when
other foreign fields have broken down
temporarily, presents n chance for begin
ming the tedious teaching that will pro-
duce results. and II would cause little sur
prise II American manufacturers start
out In big way on this field.
