Municipal Bond Offerings
Show Marked Decrease

The output of permanent State
and municipal bonds for the month
OF February showed marked fall
ing on compared with January, the
figures being s39,36S.465 and sS6,6s4,-
f26, respectively. However, accord
ing to the figures compiled by the
Daily Bond Buyer, the month was
the most prolific of any February
since that of 1915. and, with that
exception. the largest of the decade.
Speaking of conditions in the mar
ket the publication says:
Municipal bonds at the close of
the month were selling at the low
est prices on record (there has been.
turther fall since them the issues
OF the larger cities Offering a tax
exempt return on the investment so
large as to compel attention"
one reason for the falling off in
onerlngs, IL is stated, is the fact
that in many cases the law reouires
that bonds be sold for not less than
par and in order to secure this nrica
many new authorizations at bipber
rates than originally contemnIsted
were found necessary, with conse-

Steel Alloys Should
Be in Great Demand

With the return of the railroads
to private management producers of
steel alloys and manufacturers of
alloy steels should find reopened to
them a market they were Develop
Ing before the period of Federal
control, but which has been practi-
cally cutoff for oRer'two years.
The value of alloys such as vana-
dium, nickel, chrome, etc., in
strengthening steel used in locomo-
tive frames, railway steel springs,
and similar parts of railroad equip
ment, was gradually being demon
strated to the railroad companies
during the few years preceding
1918.
The use of alloys for such pur-
poses had not become general, but
they were gaining in favor with pur-
chasing agents because OF the add
ed life they gave equipment. But
they added considerably to the cost
of the equipment, and therefore the
use of alloys was abandoned during
Federal control to save expense.

Big Drop in Steel Common
Does Not Worry Employees

Although United States Steel COM
mon is now selling nine points
below 1o6. the price at which
the corporation announced that en-
ployes may subscribe to 10000
shares under this years stock sub
scription plan. it was-learned yes
terday that indications point to a
larger participation than a year ago
when 1SS,6So common shares were
offered at 81.
There seems to be a popular mis-
conception concerning the Steel Cor
poratlon's rofit-sharing scheme,
Under the plan when employees sig
nlfy their intention of buying the
stock at the offered price it is paid
Ior on a partial payment system.
After all payments have been made
each employe s entitled to a bonus
OF 30 share for every year that he
nolds his stock, up to five years, so
Tor the full period the bonus
amounts ito S25 a share. This re-
bate. therefore. would bring the net
price OF the stock subscribed for
this year down to 81 a share il held

Arrival of large gold imports

such development might defeat

Automobile Manufacturers Ask
Lower Duty on Foreign Cars

For an industry TO ask the gov
ernment to lower the import duty
against its foreign competitors is
unique if not unparalleled. yet such
is the position of the automobile
manufacturers, as announced after
the meeting yesterday of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, at the headquarters in New
York. A canvass of 12S member
companies resulted unanimously in
favor of the reduction Of the tariff
on imported cars costing $4,000 or
over from IS per cent to 80 per cent,
as now imposed on cars of lower
value.
Themakers appreciate that a low
er duty will bring in more foreign
cars, but rather welcome the COM
petition as a stimulus to continue
Americas leadership in all types of
motor cars. This country produces
more than S5 per cent of the worlds
supply of motor vehicles.

ed down at that time there was the
following:
What the company is entitled to
ask is fair return on the value of
that which it employs for public
convenience"
The new law reads that ii Is the

Commission to initiate, modify, es-
tabiish or adjust such rates $50 as
to produce the results of a fair re-

OILS AND MOTORS UP

New York, March 5.-Stocks acted
today as IL about all the real bears
in Wall Street had covered in the
first hour. The market was a dis
appointment to those who looked
for a good response to the news
of gold imports. But the real Wall
Street paid little attention to prices
because it was busy figuring out
what would be the effect of the
gold that Great Britain is to send
here.
Banking opinion was that the
gold would make very little differ
ence In the American situation be-
cause the Federal Reserve Board
will not relax its campaign for
Debating the currency. Speculative
opinion was bearish because the
traders took it for granted that the
currency would be expanded as a
matter of routine on arrival of the
gold
The net result of the inciden
/. therefore, is bearish rather than
bullish, for the active traders are
treating 1t as an argument for sell
Ing stocks and the bankers refuse
to look upon II as an argument for
buying stocks.
Oil stocks were leaders in the
rally today. because of the intima-
tion from Washington that the gov
ernment might take drastic meas
ures to get a supply of fuel oil for
the Shipping Board.
In Steel there was some active
buying for a time. but it proved
TO be short covering. Before the
day ended even Steel had fiattened

w. B. and A. Reduces
Common Dividend

Directors of the Washington. Bal
timore and Annapolis Electric Rail-
road Company yesterday declared a
dividend of 1 per cent on the COM
mon stock for the quarter ending
March 80, a reduction of one-half of
1 per cent. as contrasted with the
preceding quarter. Heretofore. the
yearly rate has been s per cent.
The regular dividend of / V per Gent
has been declared on the preferred
stock. Both dividends are payable
April to stockholders OF record
March 20.
The reduction in dividend. It was
explained today. was due to 4 de-
sire by the board to follow very
conservative policy in dividend dis
sributions, especially in view of the
many uncertainties which the pun
ic utility companies will probably
encounter before a proper Teadjust-
nent has been made from a war to
1 peace basis. 1t is the purpose of
he board to conserve cash re-
sources during this period.
The management has recently ad-
RANGED the pay OF its trainmen.
rhis advance was agreed upon after
negotiations between the represen-
.atives of the men and the officials
" the company.
The Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis inaugurated dividends on
he common stock by declaring dis
sursements of per cent at the end
II each quarter, and while these
dividends were never authorized tor
Iny particular period shareholders
'egarded the stock as being on an
; per cent basis. This rate was es-
aablished until last year, when the
dividend was reduced to an annual
ate of s per cent. and now comes
further reduction to the 4 per
.cnt basis
The company has extensive plans
or terminal improvements, both in
saltimore and Washington, and it
s. sfexpected that these plans will be

The Joker in Baldwin's .
Annual Statement

1t is matter of comment in finan-
ciaI circles that the Baldwin Loco
motive Works for 1919 reported
gain innet profits of s23.94S over
1918. although gross sales were s3S.-
S71,4(5 less and profits s3,s30,S69
less. Net profits in 1919 were $5,-
776,243, equivalent to s21.SS a share
on the common stock, compared with
s5.752,295 in 1918. equivalent to
s21.76 q share.
The explanation, of course, Is to
be found in deductions for reserves,
etc, amounting to S3,095,000 in 1919,
against $12,509.S16 in 1918. The diff
ference in the deductions for reserve
in the two years is $a,414,S16, equiv
alent to s47.07 a share on the COM
mon stock.
Reason for the decrease is that
earnings subject to taxes were less
in 1919 than in 1918, and the tax
rate lower.
