Steel Production
Cut by Shortages
Of Fuel and Cars
Flu Epidemic Also Retards
Work; Shipments Far I'm
der Output, Trade Author
ity Says; Jan. Record Good

Car shortage, inadequate coal and
coke supplies and the influenza epi-
demic are operating seriously against
iron and steel production and deliveries.
Because of lack of Transportation ia
cilities The Iron Age" this week esti-
mates that $4,000 tons Of finished steel
are piled up in Chicago yards, while it
is said that an Eastern maker has been
forced to store 10000 tons of structural
steel alone.
shipments in some cases" adds this
publication, "do not exceed 25 per cent
of output. One steel plant can operate
only two of its ten furnaces. Barely
so per cent of the normal shipments Of
foundry coke are leaving the Connells-
vile district, and at least 25 per cent
of the foundries of Cleveland are shut
down, partly or wholly because of lack
of fuel"
In spite of the railroad difficulties it
is stated that the January performance
Of the blast furnaces of the country
are better than any month since March.
1919. A net gain of twenty eight fur
naces was made, and a production of
3,015,181 tons, compared with 2,633.26s
tons for December. The daily average
was 97,264 tons, or 1412 per cent more
than December, which averaged 84.944
tons daily.
The 29o blast furnaces in operation
on February l were operating al a
rate of 99,465 tons day, against s7.e45
tons for the 262 furnaces in blast on
January 1. Semi-finished steel prices
are said to be mounting wildly. As an
example, it is cited that some sales of
billets have brought as high as $40 a
ton.
Piling up of finished rolled steel at
the plants Of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, according to "The Iron Trade
Review" now amounts to over $50 900
tons. The Illinois Steel Company, it
was. said, has five blast furnaces
banked.
Government Communicating of ma
terials other than rails is looked for
in the industry. Action of this char
acter IS expected, particularly in plates,
shapes and bars for car construction.
The Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company according to 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review" has advanced its prices on
standard rails IS more, to $50 and ss2
a ton, respectively, for bessemer and
open hearth sections. January sales
of pig iron, It was stated, were we'll in
excess Of 100000 tons.

Bankers to Promote
Sale of Ship Issues

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Leading
bankers of the country were invited
to-day by Chairman Payne Of the
Shipping Board to serve on commit
tee to interest the investing public in
the value Of shipping securities. Mr..
Payne said the board was confronted
with the problem Of selling ships. the
aggregate value Of which-S2, 900 ,000,-
000-was many times the purchasing
power Of the private shipping interests
and that consequently 1t was desirable

Consumers Power Bonds
National City Company Brings
Out Two Issues Today

In the face of the falling of security
prices and foreign exchanges, the Ma
tional City Company yesterday an
nounced that it would offer for public
subscription to-day S5,oO0,o0o of ten
year per cent gold mortgage bonds and
s3,O00,000 of per cent debentures of
the Consumers Power Company, which
serves all of lower Michigan except De-
troit. The bonds will be offered at 50 to
yield more than 1928 per cent, and the
debentures will be offered to yield IT'S
per cent.
The proceeds Of the issue, it was an
nounced will be used to reimburse the
company for the retirement Of certain
underlying bonds, for capital expendi-
lures already made, and for future con-
struction expenditures, including a part
of the cost of large new steam plant.
The yield of the new issues was cited
by issuing bankers as an illustration Of
the present high cost of borrowing, as
in pre-war times, it was said, the COM
pany was able to sell per cent long
time bonds between SO and SO.

stocks Do you consider railroad stocks a
safe investment at this time &C A. B.
Answer-We cannot say that railroad
stocks are good investments at this
time. There is far too much uncer-
tainty regarding the treatment to be
accorded the carriers. A few roads
are doing fairly we'll under govern
changed by legislation. Until we know
definitely what Congress and the In
terstate Commerce Commission will do,
all railroad common stocks must be
considered speculative. Northern Pa
citic and Southern Pacific are not do
ing so badly at present. Great North
ern, on the other hand, is not earning
is dividends. We must remember.
however, that the government is op-
Grating the roads in its own way.
With constructive legislation and a
substantial increase in rates most of
the roads should be able to maintain
themselves as they did before they
were taken over. 1t is not likely the
railroad stocks will sell at the high
prices Of pre-war times until taxes
are reduced and money is lower. We
should rank Southern Pacific first, then
Northern Pacific and then Great
Northern. Union Pacific is now earn

Not Recommended by Cheapness

Question: thinking Of buying 80
shares of National Conduit and Cable Let
me know the financial circums tances Of the
above stocks and what you think about it
as small investment.-P. J.
Answer-Many people buy securities
when they sell at very low prices, on
the theory that "cheapness recon-
nends it." National Conduit and
Cable showed a deficit from operations
for the nine months of 1919 Of $685.
1873. 1t cost the company more to man
ufacture than it received in gross
sales This happened in 1918 also 1t
has been said that poor contracts with
the government accounted for this
state of affairs. Possibly the future
will show better results. Naturally,
the stock is pure gamble at present.

money, as the causes are international,
but it was decided to continue close
attention to the subject, in the hope
that possible remedy may develop.
