SLUMP in STEEL
HITS LOCAL STOCKS
Sharp Declines in Storage Bat
terry, Cambria, Lake Superior,
Baldwin and Rapid Transit

Trading in United States Steel over
shadowed all else on the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange during the two hours 1t
remained open for business this morn
ing. Selling came from several sources
and much of the supply was said to be
for New York account Cambria Steel
reacted a point or more in sympathy, but
offerings here were not large. Despite
the weakness of these issues news from
the trade was of o most favorable char
acter. A steady increase in export de-
mand for both iron and steel is reported,
which assures continued activity for
some time to come. The mills are oper-
ating practically at capacity.
The whole local market was more or
less unsettled by the drop in Steel shares.
Electric Storage Battery and Lehigh
Valley Transit preferred fell back sharp
ly. while Lake Superior and Baldwin
Locomotive were also reactionary. Even
Rapid Transit suffered a point setback,
but Pennsylvania held relatively steady.
1t was stated today that as a result of
negotiations with France, Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. will not only finance the purchase
and exchange for dollar bonds of about
SH, 100000 face value. of Pennsylvania
Company franc bonds, now underlying
the Morgan Rothschilds loan, but that
steps have been also taken to convert all
of the 250,0OO,0OO franc issue into dollar
DOnOS. IniS Will be OF dlStlnct Denent
to the foreign exchange situation, not
only because 1t makes available to the
French banks the equity in the loan, but
also because by permanently transfer
ring these bonds to the United States a
loan maturing next July is paid off now.
In addition to the Pennsylvania issue
it is believed that negotiations are
actively going on whereby the Now
Haven and the st. Paul bonds sold in
France may be paid off through issu-
ance of new bonds in dollars.
That trade conditions are rapidly i'm
proving can not only be deduced from
the heavy expansion in bank clearings,
but assume a concrete form through or
ders for equipment placed, or about to
be placed, by the railroads. The Reading
Company, for instance, has ordered 5000
tons Of rails from the Pennsylvania
Steel Company and 1000 from the Bethle-
hem Steel Company. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Is in the market for 100 under
frames for caboose cars. The New York
Central has ordered 500 50-ton automobile
cars, while other important concerns, like
the Atlantic Coast Line, Wells, Fargo
& Co.. the Southern Railway, the West
ern Pacific and many more have ordered
large quantities of rails, cars, steel for
bridges, etc. This is real expansion, and
not due to special circumstances, as are
the war orders and therefore is all the
more encouraging to those who have been
to the country at large.
