HEAVY UNLOADING
OF LIBERTY BONDS
Discount Rate Advances Forces the
Holders to Liquidate-4A's
Go to 81.

Drastic advances in the discount rates
OF the Federal Reserve Bank were re-
fiected more acutely in the bond market
than In the stock market yesterday. They
led to the heaviest liquidation of Liberty
bonds experienced since tax selling was
IN vogue in the closing months of last
year. Under this severe pressure num-
Der OF different issues of Liberty bonds
broke to new low prices in their history
On the break the government was good
buyer to support the market.
The brunt Of the selling. as was to be
expected. fell upon the fourth AIS. Up
ward of SO. 900. 900 and that issue alone were
liquidated. The price declined to 91.Oo
compared with previous closing level of

issues to break to new lows in the Bfe
Of the bonds Victory notes of both series
also declined to the lowest level in their
history. In all about s2O,Oo0,OO0 of Liberty
bonds and Victory notes were sold yes
terday.
The selling emanated from large rather
than small hoders. Brokers reported that
comparatively little scattered selling came
into the market. 1t was concentrated
holdings that were liquidated. The sell
ing was due to the advance of the discount
rate Of war paper loans to 51H per cent.
Few banks will carry Liberty bonds at a
rate as low as 51s per cent, whereas be-
fore the Federal Reserve authorities
started to mark discount rates up, these
bonds were hypothecated at the coupon
rate Of the bonds offered as security.
Holders who have borrowed money on
their bonds or who never paid in full
for them stand to lose money by continu-
ing to keep them.
|. Besides buying for government account
savings banks bought Liberty bonds in
large blocks. while scattered public buying
for investment was reported. This buying
caused a smart recoverey in the late trad
ing.
The weakness of Liberty bonds had an
unsettling effect on the general corpora

CRUCIBLE FINISHES
REIMBURSEMENT
Steel Company Letter to An
nounce Retaliation TO
Stockholders.

Stockholders of Crucible Steel, it was
learned yesterday. will receive a statement
In the near future from the management
reporting results of the reappraisement OF
properties owned by the company and also
BY it's subsidiaries.
This reappraisement, II will be recalled,
was promised by the new management at
the last annual meeting, held in Novem-
Der. It was suggested by large stockhold-
ers, who said that they were convinced the
properties of at least some of the sub
sidiary corporations were being carried on
the books at values far below their in
trinsic worth.
The reappraisSment ii is understood, re-
veals that this theory is correct. The
results Of the rovaluation Of the properties
Of the Crucble Steel Company viii be
made the basis of a readjustment of the
capitalization which will benefit stock
holders. The original plan was to issue
new stock on the basis of four shares for
cach old share OF common stock held. That
plan has been revised, it is said, to pro-
vide for the issue of three shares for one.
Statements that the Crucible plan for
capital readjustment has been held in
allegiance pending a decision by the Su-
preme Court on the taxability of stock
dividends are said TO be wholly without
foundation. The completion of the plan
has been delayed until results of the ap-
pIaisal of properties was known.
The directors will go ahead with their
readjustment of the capital regardless Of
the Supreme Court decision. They will
escape liability for a stock dividend tax,
II the court decision should be against
corporation by issuing the new stock
either at a reduced par value or without
par value. There will thus be no increase
in par value of Crucible stock through
the readjustment. and therefore there will
be nothing to tax.
operating and a holding company. 1t
owns less than fourteen subsidiary COM
panies, which have estimated output of
90 per cent of the cruclble steel products
OF the country.
Some of the subsidiaries are carried on
the books of the holding company at
what are regarded as ridiculously low
values An example is cited in the Pitts
burg Crucible Steel Company, whose plant
is located at Midland, Pa. 1t is believed
that a reappraisement of this property
will show that its capitalization, which is
very small, is far below It's real value,
although that capitalization is the basis
of it's book value.
The hidden assets in this one company
are estimated to amount to 100 per cent
of the total common stock of the Crucble
Steel Company or about SOS, 10000. 1t is
asserted that a similar condition of large
hidden assets is being disclosed in other
subsidiaries. The aggregate of these hid
den assets, 1t is believed, will fully justify
a readjustment of capital on the basis of
three for one.

LOOK FOR HEAVY BUYING
MOVEMENT IN COPPER

While the copper market has been quiet
This week with slight decline in the quo
ltations. the larger corporations are opti-
lmistic as to the immediate future. They
anticipate heavy buying movement for
spring delivery by domestic consumers
while an increased number of inquiries
have been received for foreign consump-
ton.
The representative of the Copper Expor.
Association who Is now in Germany h.,
written mat the larger German copper
CONSUMING companies are in fair finan-
cial condition. These companies expect
to buy many thousands of tons from
American producers Just as soon as
proper credits can be established. In the
meantime they are paying cash upon de-
livery of metal which is only being bought
in emergency.
Metal is being quoted at 1917 cents a
pound for delivery up TO andsincluding
May. The export price is approximately
IL cents pound above that figure.
