Steel Trade
Pledges Full
Effort to War
Governments Need of
Metal Increasing as War
Programme Grows

Ebert Fl. Gary, as president of the
American Iron and Steel Institute, in
letter to the members exhorts them, as
individuals and as representing their
companies, to pledge their full re-
sources in aiding the government to
provide all the steel required for the
military necessities of the United
States and the Allies. He asks that all
commercial business be subordinated
to this work.
The letter, which refers to the meet
ing of fifty steel manufacturers last
week in the Offices of the United States
Steel Corporation with J. Leonard Rep
logic. Director of Shell Supply, says in
part:
"Mr. Replogle made a very strong
statement of the immediate and future
requirements of the government for
steel in various forms for its military
necessity, stating that they are so great
as to demand the entire output of the
industry in almost all lines.
'"The manufacturers responded to
Mr.. Replogle's appeal for maximum
production in the most patriotic spirit,
and pledged maximum production, sub
ordinating all commercial business to
the governments requirements"
Mr. Gary said in his letter that he
confidently expected he would be able
to advise Mr.. Replogle in the near fut-
ure that all members of the American
Iron and Steel Institute had signed a
written pledge to devote all their ener-
gies to winning the war.
1t was stated in steel circles yester-
day that Mr.. Replogle's estimate of the
war needs of-the United States and AL
lies were startling. 1t is believed that
the mills will be called upon to furnish
approximately 22,000,000 tons of steel
for war purposes in the next eight
months, including 100000 tons for
shells and guns, 100000 tons for
ships, 100000 tons of bars, shapes and
plates and other forms for railroad
equipment, 100000 tons of sheets and
! ducts, 100000 tons of structural
shapes, 100000 tons of plates for con-
struction other than ships and railroad
equipment, and 100000 tons of other
products, including pipe and fittings.
Speeding up of the governments war
programme is indicated by the i'm
provement in railroad transportation
which enabled the mills to operate at
close to 96 per cent of their capacity
this month thus far.
Mr.. Replogle stated at Washington
recently that the mills on April i had
orders in hand amounting to 2,374,00O
tons, of which 100000 tons were for
the United States government. Foreign
, orders included 100000 tons for Can
ada, $4,000 tons for England, $4,000
France, while there were pending 30O,-
600 tons for England and 100000 tons
for Japan

Tel.-TeI. Weakens

One of the noticeably weak spots yes
terday was American Telephone and
Telegraph, which sold at 95A, the low
est price since the panic year Of 1907.
At the closing quotation of 96% the
net loss for the session was u points,,
Ono of the reasons assigned for the,
decline in A. T. & T. in the last year
has been the issuance of large amounts
of stock by subsidiary properties. ror
Rell system showed net increase IN
can;tal % account of $4,000, 900. Cash re-
sources decreased about $4,000, 600 and
bills payable increased nearly Ss'ooo'-

The Worlds Market Place

American merchandise is forming a
greatly increased share Of the imports
Of those countries outside of the Cen
ira, Powers of Europe. Not only have
our European allies trebled their pur-
chases in the United States since the
war began, but the neutral nations,
whose chief imports are manufactures,
have been compelled to call upon this
country for the merchandise which they
formerly obtained from other sources.
A compilation made by the National
City Bank shows that the total valuesof
domestic manufactures exported from
the United States last year was $4,000
100000, compared with less than ST.
0Oo,0OO.00O in 1914, the first year of the
war. While mos. of the increase went
to Europe in the form of munitions,
there were also large increases in othee
classes of manufactures.

New Financing

Completion of the Liberty Loan cam
paign, now in its final stage, will, ac-
cording to bankers, be followed by con-
siderable activity in the capital mar
ket when number of corporations
and municipalities will seek to raise
funds through the sale of securities.
The city of Philadelphia, it is stated,
is prepared to bring out an issue of
s3,5oo,O00 Of bonds, while the State of
Mississippi is expected to seek loan
of $3,000,0OO. So far nothing has corle
out of Washington which would indi-
cate that the government intends to
furnish the funds to meet the S10,000,-
600 May maturity of the New York
Central. 1t is regarded as certain,
however, that the financing will be
taken care of with the assistance Of
the Federal authorities.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Exchange on Italy fell to the lowest
level of the war period in the local
market yesterday. The rate on Rome
was quoted at the equivalent of 9.OOh
to the dollar, compared with S.94 at the
close of last week. The normal rate is
5.1S1s lire to the dollar. Exchange
brokers accepted the fresh break in the
lire rate yesterday as indicating that
the efforts of the Italian financial au-
thorities to stabilize the lire rate had
failed
Exchange on London was quoted at
27 francs and 16 confines in the Paris
market yesterday.
Other exchanges moved narrowly
yesterday, with francs displaying in
creasing firmness. Spanish pesetas
were fractionally higher at 2SA cents
for cables.

raising $10,00O,000 of new capital. AL
though not officially confirmed it is un-
derstood that arrangements arc being
made to bring out an issue of Duquesne
Light Company notes running for one
year at 6 per cent. New York bankers
it is understood, will handle the issue
and the proceeds derived therefrom
will provide funds for the Duquesne
company to liquidate some of its debts
to the Philadelphia Company. Officials
of the latter corporation were here
yesterday arranging the details of the
financing. The new issue will, of
course, not be brought out until after
the Liberty Loan campaign.

New-York tribune., 1918-04-30

Nearly half of the 81, $50, 900, 900
subscribed to the second Liberty
Loan in the New York district was
in subscriptions of 100000 or
more. A financial authority yester-
day estimated that not more than q
quarter of the minimum quota,
5000, 100000, would be raised in
the present campaign by buyers in
this class. That is why the loan
lags here. 1t is explained by the
! fact that the needs of business for
funds to finance government work
and to meet the extraordinarily
heavy tax payments falling due in
June are urgent and necessitate the
conservation Of cash. Besides, cor
porations have learned the folly OF
subscribing for large amounts of
bonds, only to throw them on the
market later. 1t was selling of this
character which was largely respon-
sible for the declines in the first
and second issues.
But while the total amount SUBJ
scribed in the second Federal Re-
serve district is thus far below ex-
pectations, there is no doubt that
the number of individual subscrib-
ers to the third loan will greatly
exceed the number who bought the
second issue. That applies not only
to the second Federal Reserve dis
trict, but to the country as whole.
Up to the end of last week approxi
mately 100000 subscriptions had
been entered; and the chances are
that before the campaign is closed
the total will exceed 13,0O0,000; it
may be very much larger But as
suming that there are only 49,
100000 subscriptions, one person
out of eight will have taken share
of the third loan; and that is re-
markable record, as will be seen
from the following comparison:
Persons subscribed
Canada's first war loan I in every 317
Canada's second war
loan .............. I in every 22o
Canada's third war
loan .............. in every 1877
victory Loan. I in every 10

loan .............. I in every 80
The third English
loan ........; ;... in every 13
United States first
Liberty Loan. ...... 1 in every 27
United States second
Liberty Loan. I in every 11H
1t is evident that the American
people have responded to the appeal
for war funds with greater readi-
ness than those of Canada and the
United Kingdom. The contrast is
the more striking when it is remem-
bered that our allies had been at
war for thirty-two months before
we accepted the German challenge.

Tobacco Products Pays
Dividend in Scrip

Directors of the Tobacco Products
Corporation yesterday decided to pay
the regular quarterly dividend Of IL
per cent in scrip, instead Of in cash, as
is customary. The scrip will run for
two years from May Is and will bear 7

for this departure is the necessity of
conserving cash.

Steel's Dividend Prospect

Action of Steel common on the Stock
Exchange yesterday gave no indication
of what the directors will do to-day at
their regular quarterly meeting. The
net result of the days transactions was
gain of IS point. However. there
was the usual amount of gossip in
brokerage offices over the dividend.
Many traders believe that the finance
committee will recommend the declara-
tion of the regular quarterly distribu-
tion of IA per cent and the usual ex-
ira of 3 per cent. There was also
rumor that the stock might be placed
on a regular 10 or II per cent basis.

Relevant Comment
Lire at New Low

Foreign exchange bankers who were
asked yesterday to explain the pro-
nounced weakness in exchange on Italy
said they could only attribute it to,
the fact that offerings of lire bills in
the New York and London markets
are greatly in excess of the demand.
Italy, it was asserted, had obtained in
sufficient credits in Great Britain and
the United States to take the pressure
of the exchange market. At the same
time the efforts of the Institute of Ex-
ian government to stabilize the lire
rate have apparently been futile The
normal exchange value of the Italian
Ira is 1913 cents. At yesterdays quo
tation the Ira was worth 11.12 cents.
This is the lowest rate yet reached.
