Forecast of Active Steel
Business at Higher Prices
Cheers Operators.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York. Jan. l4.-Although the
stock market was irregular today 1t
7isnlaved more strength than pro-
fessiosals had expected in view of
the temporary discontinue of the
petroleum companies. The declines
recorded were in most cases made
with small transactions and were
due more to absence Of interest than
inherent weakness.
One helpful factor was the ar
nouncement that L. S. Steel would
sell common stock to employees at
%. This is higher than the street
expected. The second helpful fac
tor was the optimistic interview Of
]. Leonard Replogle in which he
forecast an active steel business at
higher prices. rather than lower
ones. Establishment OF gold pool
in London was the third factor of
Importance.
To Form Gold Pool.
After tho close it became known
that several South American gov
ernments are prepared to organize
a gold pool to facilitate trade among
those countries. the United states
and Europe.
The expectation that an active
market would be made for steel has
made professionals rather nervous
as the short interest is large. Eears
in steel had been counting on pas
sage OF the new tax law by Con-
gress to help them. The law takes
all the money out Of the hands OF
corporations besides leaving them
with no tariff protection against an
inundatinn of cheap products from
abroad.
The other side Of this PROPOSE
tton is that Europe will h" so
heavily taxed she will be unable to
furnish any cheap products, and
besides. the ships will all be needed
to transport American soldiers leaN-
ing no cargo room for such pro-
duCis
