Trading in the second 4s totalled
about s6,500,000. The sharp break fol-
lowed a recovery from the opening quo
tation of 95.14 to 95.22. The principal
explanation for the decline was SELL
ing by individuals who had subscribed
Tor the bonds through ninety day loans
from banks. These loans fall due this
week, it was said, and some subscribers
being unable or unwilling to pay them
Oft, liquidated their holdings.
Since the last Liberty Loan was issued

r. S. Wheeler. president of the COM

adjustment of the terms of payment

contracts over which there was con-
siderable litigation. He stated. how
ever, that the export contracts referred
to in previous reports were completed

arc included in the general statement
Of earnings.
"The results obtained" said Mr..
ing. because of the plant facilities thus
created your company has sheen asked
to undertake large contracts with the
United States government upon a safe
and mutually salts sfactory basis. Ths
capacity of these plants with some ad-
ditions is therefore fully engaged"

the supply Of materials, as we'll as
labor and transportation problems. a
larger quantity of manufactured
product was made and delivered to
customers by the company, according
to the report. The growing demands
ditional plant and equipment amount

Last year it was stated that high
prices then ruling made necessary

tlon of usual business" said Mr..
Wheeler. "This condition has not i'm
proved, but, on the contrary greater
capital is now required than a year
ago. Conservatism and careful financ-
ing are therefore of the utmost i'm
portance."
The balance sheet of the company
as of December 81 last showed cash
of s7,562,429 and accounts and bills
receivable amounting to $1O,64O,O57.

Steel Industry on
Road to Recovery
Conditions in Connellsville
Region Reported Best
in Two Months

Milder weather. with resultant i'm
provement in transportation conditions
has brought about more cheerful feel
ing in the iron and steel industry In
the Pittsburgh and Valley zones the
recovery in operations is estimated by
II he Iron Trade Review" at from 10
to rs per cent, while conditions in the
Connellsville coke region are said by
the same authority to be the best in
two months.
FLOOD dangers at Pittsburgh and
other river points are the chief cause
TOR anxiety at the moment in an other
wise hopeful situation. In the Central
West operations of steel work are re-
ported to be generally at so to 70 per
cent of capacity. though some plants,
owing to freight embargoes and the
large accumulation of unshipped prod
uct, are to-day doing little better than
SO per cent
Restrictions on Exports
"The industry" says "The Iron Age -
continues to look to Washington for
Its impulse toward better or worse con-

London Fears Fresh Taxation.-LON-
DON, Feb. 13.--The stock market con-
tinued generally dull and easy to-day
on fears of fresh taxation. Competi-

caused an easier feeling in gilt-edged
securities, while home rails were
affected by disappointing dividends.
Armament and tin shares and Aus
trallan coppers were the best features.
Shipping stocks were irregular.
