Business Activity, Due to Heavy
Iron and Steel Orders, Re-

Business activity. due in a large
measure to the heavy orders from

products, together with the big
domestic demands. is being reflected
in the fling of notices of increase of
stock or debt by Pennsylvania cor
porations expanding too meet the
business offered them. In the last six
months probably more such notices
have been filed at the State Capitol
than in any similar period and the
bulk of them have been from con-
Germs handling iron or steel. Very
few public service companies have
increased stock or debt.
The aggregate of the notices of
stock increases filed runs away into
the millions. some of the coal COM
pany increases entered being in hun
dreds of thousands alone. Since the
first of the year over twenty iron and
steel corporations have filed notices of
increases, foundry and machine COM
panies being the most numerous in
that class.
In the same time a number of con-
Germs which had been operating as
joint stock or partnerships or plants
which had been owned by individuals
have been Incorporated and charters
have been granted TO over thirty cleo
trio companies.
