ally do not make much noise about
II, II IS, OF course. true that costs
have come down considerably from
the war level. While wages remain
nominally the same, overtime has
been eliminated and there has been
a decided increase in the efficiency
OF labor. The less efficient en-
ployes have in many cases been laid
or. and those that remain are more
anxious 20 hold their Jobs than they
were when there were two or three
Jobs 70 every man TO Ill them. And
the costs OF various kinds OF raw
material used by the steel compan-
les have fallen somewhat.
The untitled orders OF the L. s.
steel corporation, given out at the
end OF each month, generally afford
one OF the earliest indications OF
coming changes IN activity and pro-
duction. Getting the business in the
first thing. After that comes turn
ing out the product.
For that reason the prices OF steel
stocks move pretty closely in har-
mony with the general trend Of IN
filed orders, as will be seen from
the graph herewith.
There have been some exceptions,
as in the last half OF 1911, when the
governments antitrust suit against
L. S. Steel, together with heavy for
eign selling because OF a European
war scare caused a sharp decline in
the stock, although orders were in
creasing. But in the main both the
price Of the stock and the untitled
orders have anticipated prospective
changes in the activity Of the trade.
What is the situation now?
Untitled orders will evidently
show a further decline at the end OF
April. and that will mean a eady
decline during period of two
years, which is longer than any pre-
vious decline. on the other hand,
untitled orders now represent about

The Financial Outlook
Victory Bonds Investment BsrganOook in the Steel
Induty-Unhled Orders and Price of Stocks
The Present Situation

Victory bonds represent the last
OF the wonderful investment bar
gains which the war has compelled
the United States 20 offer the inves-
tor. Yielding "a percent and ex-
ennpt form the normal income tax.
these three 20 four year notes can
not decline after issue as the other
Liberty bonds have done. And they
give a remarkably high interest
yield compared with the security be-
hind them.
Not that the temporary discount
on the older Liberties Is OF any i'm
portance except 70 those who are
compelled 10 sell All OF these
bonds are certain 20 sell above par
before they mature and the longer
term issues Will sell a good deal
above par.
The new bond will be easily sold.
and II is probable that the prices FOR
corporation bonds generally will be-
gin a slow and gradual rise, either
Immediately or soon after the Vic
tory bonds are disposed OF.
Steel As a Barometer.
The outlook in the steel industry.
which IS almost universally accept
ed as a barometer of business and
investment conditions. IS still very
much confused. The attempted
sterilization OF prices has had no
effect in encouraging general buy
Ing Of steel products. partly because
OF the unfortunate lack OF coopera-
ton and understanding between
Sec'y Redheld and Director Gen
Hines
Buyers still assume a waiting at

33cc Of the company's capacity for
finished steel. which compares with
22Eo when the orders were the
smallest in 1914. about 1890 in 1910.
and somewhere around 30Tc in
1908.
When steel orders will begin 70
pick up no one can tell. but 1t is
evident that they have not much
farther TO fan in order to reach the
same degree Of comparative dizziness
in demand that was reached in pre-
vious periods OF depression. For
the growth of productive capacity in
the steel business has not been any
faster during the war than the nor
NAL rate of increase in the preced-
ing years of peace.
The Present situation.
II must be admitted however, that
the outlook for the prices of steel
stocks does not seem TO favor any
important or prolonged advance at
the moment There has been wide
public buying of steel securities and
Of many others, but in the long run
the actual or prospective conditions
in the trade must have their effect.
The turn toward greater activity
in the steel industry must come some
time. and the more orders fall off
the nearer to the turn we may be
presumed 10 be- but so far there are
no definite or tangible signs Of such
a change nor can it be seen coming
at any early date except by a pretty
lively exercise of the imagination.
The steel situation differs from
that of copper, since the price Of
copper metal is already back TO the
average pre-war level. while steel is
1000 20 1870 above that level True
enough, nearly all other prices are
at least that much above those pre-
vailing before the war. 1t is copper
that is the exception, rather than
steel. But on the other hand we
have 10 remember that steel prod
ucts are chiefly used in new con-
struction, and not only is new CON
struction, now small but the amount
of capital available for the purpose
is also small. Therefore the price
of steel ought reasonably to fall
lower relatively than the price of
clothing of food.

WOODBURY. ABBEY
IS COMING BACK
TO NENANA SOON

A telegram was received recently
from Juneau containing the infor-
nation that Woodbury. Abbey, cad
astral engineer of the general land
Office, was on his way to Nenana
from the territorial capital, where
he has been during the past winter
as acting supervisor of surveys.
Mr.. Abbey has been in charge of
the land surveys in this district for
the past few years. and during last
summer extended the land surveys
along both banks of the Tanana
river, to connect with the surveys
previously made, near Cinema.
1t is thought that he is now
coming in to run the surveys in
connection with the projected road
into the Mount Mckinley National
park region, and possibly into the
kantishna country also.
Mr. Abbey is reported to have
left Juneau on May Goth for Ne
mana direct, and it is expected that
he will arrive in town during the
next few days.

LABOR MEMBER

LONDON. - Every parliament
produces new character. The
American Congress had its Sock

and the House Of Commons had
kier Hardie, who appeared on the
floor in a workingman' cap and
with workingman's freedom Of
speech in the era when the six hat

uniform for that assembly, and
when the heavy Gladstonian man
ner was its model for debate John
Jones, the new labor member from
Silverton, is the Jerry Simpson and
the Kier Hardie of the new House
Of Commons.
The proof of this is that his
speeches are puntuated with shocked
cries of Order from the old
timers, and the reason for the cries
is that he talks TO the House of
Commons just as he used to talk
when he was addressing out-of-door
audiences from a soap box at Tower
Hill, which is the forum for in
formal workmen's debates

the United States supreme court,

to what the supreme court would
have suffered under similar lese

House recently.

scription. ("Honorable members"

The House saw the joke and

THREATS AGAINST
FORMER KAISER
CAUSE ALARM

AMERONGEN, Netherlands. =
There was excitement and alarm
at the Bentinck castle recently
when the mail brought two violently
worded threatening letters to the
former German Emperor William
and, almost simultaneously a tele-
gram was received warning him of
an attempt to be made on his life.
The sixteen armed military police
men provided by the Dutch govern
ment at its own expense to guard
the person Of the fallen monarch
were quickly mustered. Those off
duty were reused from their sleep
and received orders to patrol the
grounds of the castle, carrying
loaded carbines. This watch was
continued throughout the might,
much to the discomfort of the
Dutch gendarmes, who would be
delighted to learn that Herr Hohen-
zollern had decided to seek shelter
in another land
Despite all the precautions taken
to guard him, it is evident that
there is frequent if not constant
apprehension that some person
might yet obtain entrance to the
grounds of the castle by stealth
or subterfuge and attack the for
mer emperor.
To ward off such possibility,
the steward of the estate has been
given the daily task of making
thorough search of the grounds
before the erstwhile ruler sets his
foot therein on his daily journey
to the woodshed.
The sanctuary of William II has
become prison without being
called by that name and within its
walls he spends much of his time
in an effort to avoid comparison
of his present position with his
former greatness.
