STEEL PRICES STILL

THE Iron Trade Review" Will say:
THE tremendous last quarter earnings
of the United States Steel Corporation
have served to illustrate the eXtraor-
binary scope of activity which the
iron and steel industry has attained
in recent months. As phenomenal in
some respects as this statement OF
profits was. it is necessary also to ap-
preciate that this showing was made at
a level of realized prices which are low
when compared with those that under
lie the contracts now on the books 10
be shipped during the first and sec
ond quarters Of the present year.
What the Steel Corporation has
been doing applies equally TO inde-
pendent producers. and it demonstrates
that the industry is in a golden era Of
income. which is having, and will con-
tinue to have, its effect in a heavy
movement toward the enlargement Of
capacity."

Albany. Jan. 90 Although the state
budget bill introduced to-day by Sen

suggestions in his annual message IN
reference to appropriations, Governor
Whitman frowned on the measure. lie
said it contained provisions which went
further than he cared to go, and an

Legislature next week a dozen bills
which would carry out his ideas Of ap-
preparation and budget making.
The Mills bill contains provisions
which we're favored by the Bureau o.

and TO which the Governor objected.
One Of these is that the Governor and
his representatives be given the right
10 be present at legislative committee
hearings 10 defend their requests on

lievcs that the fullest publicity should
be given. but holds that he should not
