Estimating steel Earnings.
ON Tuesday next the quarterly state
ment of the United States Steel Corpora
TONS operations comes out. Estimates
vary. but net earnings are expected to be
low, somewhere from $l3. 000.0ye to sla, 900
for the quarter. This may be the be-
ginning of an upward movement in the
stock based on the theory that the cor
poration will be free to advance its prices
for steel products while its principal COM
petitors have loaded themselves with war
orders for some time to come.
Inspiration Copper rose more than two
points on lively trading. This company
is expected to begin operations in June.
At the present prices for the metal it is
estimated that they will be able to earn
more than per cent on the stock by the
end of the year.
