Steel Bookings
Show Increase
OF 216,640 Tons
Corporation Modifies Its
Policy of Holding Down
Prices; Production Nov
Running at q High Rate

The United States Stee. Corporation
at the end of February had 9,502,osl
tons of untitled orders on it's books
the greatest total since September
1917, when 9,ss3,477 tons were re-
ported. The increase over January
however, was 216,64O tons, compared
with an increase of 1,O20,075 tons for
January over December and gain OF
l,137,036 tons for December over No
vcmber.
Untitled orders reported yesterday
were about equal to the corporations 8
productive capacity for the remainder
Of 1920, The fact that the increase of
new business taken last month was
comparatively light was interpreted az
meaning that the steel company was
not disposed to commit itself beyond
1920 operations. Furthermore, con-
sumers are pressing for the earliest
possible deliveries.
"The Iron Trade Review" this week
states that the first modification of the
Steel Corporations policy of quoting
the Industrial Boards prices of last
March has come through the American
Steel and Wire Company, which is
now taking business for limited PC
riod, with prices to be fixed at the
time of delivery.
The Iron Age in its weekly re-
view of the iron and steel market
says, that production is now running
at the highest rate in more than q
year, and that the prospect is for a
further increase as spring advances
This publication adds:
There has been no rush thus far on
the part of the railroads to buy equip
ment and the week has rather added
to the evidence that the strained con-
dltions in the industry are Welding
Some of the steel that will be applied
to railroad needs was apparently re-
served in anticica ton of the return
OF the roads, and the mills that have
been able to get the highest prices for
their output will probably not figure
largely IN the equipment tonnage. A
development Of interest in the wire
trade is the taking of orders bv large
producer with the stipulation that the
price will be that prevailing at the
time of delivery, indicating the aban-
donment of the low prices of March
~ on wire products. In the automo-
bile trade efforts to secure steel 70,
the second half of the year have led
likewise to agreements to pay price
ruling when deliveries are made. a
conslderable tonnage of sheets appar-
entlv being provided for this way. Au-
tomob1ie manufacturers have cared lit
tie what they have paid for early de-
livery, steel. as hieh as 500 being re-
ported for sheet bars, which, in turn
they have rolled into sheets for car
bodies"
Locomotives bought since the first
of the year and those now under ne
got3ation, it is said. include $50 for the
New York Central. 100 for the Chicago
Milwaukee, & ST. Paul and nearly as
many Tor the Illinois Central. lnquir-
les tor cars number about II 900, max.
ing more than $4,000 for early con.

American Tobacco Co.
Earns $31.83 a Share
Sales Last Year at New Peak
but Balance for Common
Declines

Earnings of the American Tobacco
Company last year broke all records in
the history of the corporation. The
annual report issued to stockh olders
yesterday showed total sales of $780,
023,730, compared with sl44.470,068 in
1918 and s4a,92O,24s in 1917
The balance available for dividends
on the outstanding s40,242, 400 common
stock was equivalent :, s31S3 a share
against s33.42 share in the preceding
year The surplus after all charges
amounted to s4,7s2.110, a falling off OF
S640,467 from the year before. Profit
and loss surplus at the end of the year
amounted to $49,34s,443.
The balance sheet for the yea,
showed inventories of S9O.61l,434
stocks and bonds of s31.475.485, bills
and accounts receivable of S11,419,5Sl
and cash. of $6,801 ,059 listed among the
100000 sin gold notes, $12,072,720 in
scrip. S52,699. 700 in preferred and $40
242,4Oo IN common stock listed on the
Inability side. The increase in accounts
and bills payable from $4,000 al
the end of 1918 to s24,3oo, 900 at the
start of the current year is due to tbs
increased amount of leaf tobacco car
rled at the moment. This. according te
the report to stockholders, will BIZ
liquidated before July, which means
that no further financing will be neces
sary to take care of the increased in.
ventory. This difference in the amour,
of tobacco carried brought the inven-
tory account up to s90,60O,oo0, against
S74620,00O at the end Of 1913.

AT present retailers are still selling

Many salesman have returned from
road trips with reports that retailers
are buying sparingly for fall or arc
