Railroad Stockholders Urged
Jc Sunnort Cun.n;ns Rel

a memorial on pending railroad lcgis-
laton. approved by the directors Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
Company, urges tho stockholders to give
theic support to the Cummins bill. Nom
passage Of the House or Esche measure
is advocated on the ground that it does
not make adequate provision relative to
rate structure.
That feature of the Cummins bill pro.
vidng for a definite return of 5ls Der
cent on the railroad property invest
ment, even when coupled with a pro-
vision for division with the govern
ment' Of any excess over s per cent
Rock Island directors say "is so I'M
measurably better than a return to the
old manner of fixing rates that we be-
lievc it essential to your interest that
legislation be passed fixing a definite
return" ''''o
Other features of the Cummins bill
favored by the Rock Island management
include compulsory consolidation and
Federal incorporation Of railroad COM
panies and the guaranty of the pra
ent standard return for six months aftcr
Federal control. They ask that the
stockholders take no part in the con.
troversy regarding the anti-strike fea.

It form Of certificate as to distribu-

certificate shows in detail the num-
ber of holders and the distribution
of the stocks, coupled with a state

All Of which is interesting, and
even more or less important. But
the fact is, the requirements Of the
exchange are not as severe as they
might we'll be if protection Of the
public were the major concern,
which is not the case. Rightly or
wrongly, the public has come to re-
gard admission to trading on the
New York Stock Exchange as a Ger
tficate Of character for any security.
1t is, therefore, all the more impor-
tant that the governors of the ex-
change exercise the greatest possible
care in considering listing applica-

Large Producers of
Steel Sold Far Ahead
Export Demand for Semi-Fin.
ished Products Only Par
tially Met

There is no better Illustration of the
condition of the steel market than the
amount of untitled tonnage on the
books of the U. S. Steel Corporation
at the end of December. The un-
shipped orders on that date comprised
8,26o,366 tons compared with 7,379,152
tons on November 20, q record increase
NJ lo7 U3o to1s. The larger producers
are heavily sold and accept only dis
tant and urgent business. The inde-
pendents demand premium for every
thing and can offer nothing but de-
layed deliveries. Demand for rails, cur
and shipbuilding steel, plates, bars and
sheets is accumulating heavily. Ex-
port demand for semi-1nished and
finished steel is very heavy and can
only be partially met.
No free pig iron IS obtainable on
contract before April and the tonnage
offering for the second quarter is linn
tied. Buyers seek to cover for the
second half and some business has
been b done, chiefly m Cleveland and
willing to quote beyond June. Prices
are advancing slowly but steadily.
Copper is in fairly good demand and
has been no ding steady for some DAYS
Some spot metal could be had at 19K
cents, but the asking price for first
quarter is 1917 ana for the second.
J y 20 cents. 1..ere is no shortage
of metal.
Lead continues scarce and strong.
The principa producers advanced the
price twice during the week. They
now ask o'3 cents for New York, but
Fave none to offer.
The English demand for zinc. which
had been active for some time, has
Ia en- on and the market is easier,
with tar demand between dea ers.
Tin follows London close'y and has
hnctuated con iderab y. Demand has
been fairly active on recent reactions

vancing r. e market is firm at 1Ok

New-York tribune., 1920-01-19

One Of the difficulties with which
the market has to contend is an af-
termath Of the excessive speculation
which eliminated last fall. Any
overextension which existed at that
time in the standard issues was
pretty we'll corrected in the drastic
November break. But, while the
general list was we'll debated, there
were some stocks in which specula-
ton had gone to absurd lengths that
were not sufficiently liquidated. This
secondary liquidation is now taking
place. 1t has unsettled the whole
market and forced not little. lioui-
dation in sound securities.
Following the collapse of some Of
these issues, considerable criticism
has been directed against Stock Ex-
change officials for admitting them
to trading on the board. When an
application for the listing or a Sc
curlty is made the Stock Exchange
authorities require that the appli-
cation shall contain certain informa-
tion-very limited information, it
must be admitted about the af
fairs of the applicant, in order that
prospective purchaser may upon
exami.. alton form his own idea Of
the value Of the security. The Stock
Exchange stands between the cor
porations and the public and one of
It's primary objects is to safeguard
the interests Of the dealers lin and
the buyer Of securities. The cx
change however. assumes no respon-
sibll.ty for the legality Of the issu-
