War Orders Help Steel Companies.
War orders are a distinct help to steel
companies that are not in the NUM-
ton making business. Steel mills that
do make munitions are so busy that
they have little time to give to consld-
ering specifications for constructive
work.
While some of the war contracts, in
so far aS normal production methods
can supply orders, have been sublet to
some of the steel mills not mentioned
in the daily gossip of war orders. the
concentration of constructive orders in
factories not otherwise engaged mas
been notable.
In March the net profits of the United
States Steel Corporation were S1.l3c.0Hl.
while in February they were $3.sSs,a'S.
and in January the lowest on record,
S1.6s7.150 Had the orders placed with
the steel company been distributed. as
usual, in March the business of the cor
poration would, of course, have been
materially less, for there was no great
increase in the general volume of the
steel business. For the three months
mentioned, constituting the first quar-
ter of the year. net earnings were W.
457S09 and, while the preferred dlvl-
dend was paid. there was deficit or
S5,3S9,S61, which had to be taken from
the surplus of the corporation.
March earnings give no promise OF
an early resumption of dividends on
the common stock, for years prohts
at that rate would be sS6.5S4.0 900, while
100000, 600 is required for the pre-
ferred dividend and 5 per cent on the
common stock.
There was satisfaction in the March
earnings in that the preferred dividend
was fully earned, as against nothing but
deficits for the year to that date More
over the deficits carried over from 1914
were So. 100000

was set in real estate transactions in
Daytona today as a consequence OF
the opening of Bostwick Park, located
lust across the south bridge from the
business center of Daytona, on Silver
Beach avenue and extending from the

that there should be a large crowd at
the opening sale.
The sale opened at 10 O'Clock and
the assembled hundreds took advan-
tage of the opportunity to inspect this
beautiful piece of property. An in
spection in several instances meant a
purchase More than $4,000 worth
of building lots were sold in this beau
tiful property and the sales are CON
tinuing this afternoon. Many Of the
lots we're purchased by local business
and professional men. Some Of them
intend to build in the near future and
others purchased as an investment,
thus showing their faith in the future
of real estate values in Daytona.
The improvements on this beautiful
property have not been completed as
vet. but all city improvements are
guaranteed. including paved streets,
concrete sidewalks and ornamental
columns at the entrances of the
streets, and palm trees, eucalyptus
and shrubs planted in the parking in
the center. City water, gas, electric
lights and telephones have already
been installed on the property.
