HINES'S PRICE RULING
SURPRISES STEEL MEN
Fear That Rejection of Prices
May Result in Stopping
Demand

New York, April 5.-I.ike lightning
fash out Of a clear sky came the ar
nouncement from Washington last Wed
nesday that Director General or Rail
roads Hines had rejected the prices or
s45 per ton for Bessemer and S4I per
ton for open -hea rth rails in connection
with purchases of rails for the trans
portation companies under government
operation.
1t was indicated in the Washington
dispatches that the director general had
fixed on quotations 81 per ton below the
levels quoted and was steadfast in de-
clining to accept the prices as agreed
upon between the members Of the Indus
trial Board of the Department of Com
merce and the committee Of steel manu-
fact urers
That there was keen disappointment
over the action of Director Hines goes
without saying. especially in view of
the general belief that the government
was about TO place orders which would
do much to stabi ize business conditions
in regular lines. and 1t was feared that
the rejection might result in stopping
the demand which had been developing
for the past two weeks.
The point made by one steel manu-
facturer who was a member of the COM
mittee that President Wilson would have
10 step into the breach thus created and
say whether he was in favor of stabiliz-
ing business or. of chaos was we'll taken
in the steel trade, and it was stated that
this represented the views of the highest
authorities in the industry
1t was recalled that the general un-
derstanding was that President Wilson
had approved the plan Of the Depart
ment of Commerce for reducing prices to
a fixed level at which It was believed
confidence among consumers could be
restored, and therefore it was naturally
expected that the chief executive Of the
country would take hand in a matter
that appeared serious at the moment.
There is no doubt that the railroads
OF the country would share materially
in any re-estabishment Of business
activity that would have been brought
about by stabilzing the steel industry,
and for that reason the motive of the
director generals action was not quite
clear to the best observers in the steel
trade.

tuined prices for corn upward this
mo ming. sending July and September
into new high grounds for the move
ment after all positions had opened
weaker.
At the outset there was scattered SELL
ing by commission houses with support
light, due to a belief that yesterdays s
advance had weakened the technical po-
sition. while the decline in May then
was thought TO reflect change in the
cash situation. The demand improved
quickly, however and the tone became
firmer.
May opened at sl57a4 to Sl.57

FEDERAL BANK REPORT
Weekly Statement Shows Small Increase
in Reserve

The weekly statement of the Philadel-
phia Federal Reserve Bank showed the
ratio of reserve to net deposit and re-
serve note liabilities yesterday to be
419 per cent. as compared with ALI
per cent on March 28, but at the same
time the statement showed contingent
liability as indorser on bills rediscount-
ed with other federal reserve banks of
s43.250.000. against 31.37o,ooo the
week before The increase in contingent
liabilities Is a reflection OF the firm
money conditions existent here.
An interesting feature is that during
the last week the gold with foreign
agencies, amounting to, s40s,021, was
paid. This item made it's first appear
ance in the reserve bank statement on
June 20, 1917 at $3.675,000.
This ss,e7S,oOo was the portion al
lotted to the local reserve bank of a
total OF sb2,a62,0o0 gold held by the
Bank of England ear-marked for the
federal reserve system. The first reduc-
ton was made on June IA, 1918, almost
a year later, when the amount OF gold
OF the Philadelphia bank and foreign
agencies was reduced to s2.sl4.ss4

New York, April 5.-More optimistic
advices from London and Paris as to
early prospects for peace, some cables
asserting that the terms would be ready

in the purchasing, and it was reported
that their commitments in futures
were being enlarged steadily, 1t was
declared that business in the goods
trade which has been virtually demoral-
ized. was improving fast and that manu-
facturers were heavily short of sup
plies. 1t was said that they could not
make deliveries, following recent re-
auctions OF four cents a yard to jobbers.
