GREAT BRITAIN TO
FAVOR OTHER MARKETS

American business men who wish
to deal in the British markets either
will have to give better terms on
products they have to sell or they
must not demand terms on products
they wish to purchase. according to
information received at the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
here.
There arc instances on record. ac-
cording to the message. where Brit
ish manufacturers have sold goods
in other foreign markets although
Americans wanted the same goods.
While there seems to be a sincere
desire on the part of English firms
to cultivate the American market in
response to a demand to use this
method with a view to rectifying
the American exchange, matters will
not be relieved until the firms OF the
two countries meet each other on
better financial terms.
In the case OF a textile manufsc-
turer. it was pointed out that he
must buy his textile machinery from
the United States, paying cash
against documents, while the Amer
leans who wanted to buy the prod
ucts of his mills insisted on sixty
days, IA per cent or cash 6 per
cent terms. This led to comment by
the manufacturer that IL II was nee
essary to give credit to buyers he
would prefer to give 1t in those
countries whose exporters granted
similar terms in selling.

Orders for Worthington Pumps
regular lines continue to hold up to
capacity volume, bookings during
January and February establishing
"a new record for those months. At
tho Harrison works. engaged prin-
cipally in the manufacture of
pumping machinery, the, influx of
business has been so great that 1t
has been necessary to distribute
contracts for $500 pumps among
the company's other plants.
Unfilled orders as OF December 81.
1919, from which have been deducted
contracts in process of adjustment,
were $S,7S4,542. Adding to this the
billings in five years gives a total
of $135. 5.365,546. Between this figure
and the aggregate five years book
ings there is a discrepancy of So
574,144, indicating that cancellation
of war business following the sign
ing of the armistice approximated
this amount.
In starting dividends on the COM
mon stock at the rate of per cent
the management stated that this ac-
tion was justified by the company's
financial status and the strong po-
sition of the property account. This
statement is borne out by the bal
ance sheet as of December 81, 1919,
which shows net current assets Of

When one compares the German
with the American figures, the
writer says, it seems rather impossi-
BILE that German shipyards will ever
be in a position to re-enter the
worlds ship market with any seri-
Gus competition.
The Germans, however, it was
pointed out, will find eager markets
for their ships in South America, but
the loss Of the iron and steel works
in Alsace-Lorraine weighs heavily
against rapid recovery in shipbuild-
ing.
1t is the view of the Germans
that the demand for fabricated ships
developed by the United States dur
ing the war has ceased. and II is
also their belief that there will be
a general shirbuilding stagnation In
about three or four years, which
win be generally disastrous to small

GERMANY MAY NEVER
BE SHIPPING FACTOR

Doubt as to whether Germany will
ever again be a competing factor in
the worlds shipping circles Is ex-
pressed in German periodicals sent
to this country by American consul
lar officers on duty with the Ameri-
can commission in Germany. These
publications expressed the opinion
that the United States and England
will lead in the shipping field in
coming years.
The extent to which America put
money into ships especially during
May and June, 1919. says ono of the
reports. shows plainly that IL is
planning an enormously increased
peace production. The total sum in
vested in shipping undertakings in
the United States during the war

accepted with favor in stock mar

ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION.

The value of the primary alumni
mum produced in the United States
in 1919, according to reports re-
ceived by the United States Geo.
logical Survey, Department Of the
Interior. was s3S.55S.000. as COM
pared with s41,159.000 in 1918. This
decrease of $2,601.000 was probably
due to a, curtailment of production
in 1919. forced by the accumulation
of large stocks of aluminium by
both the government and the man
ufacturers in 1918. The market
prices quoted during the first four
months of the year were lower
than those which prevailed during
the remaining months. and appar-
entity most, IL not all. of the stocks
were taken by the beginning of the
last quarter.
The Washington herald., 1920-04-11

In the early days of U. S. Steel the
common was jocularly spoken of in
the Street as actual wind, while the
preferred was only accredited with
being water, the general idea pre-
vailing to the effect that the bond
ed Indebtedness covered all the ac-
tual values behind the corporation.
At the present time, even with the
managements conservative proper
ty valuation of s1.573.661.546. the
book value of u. S. Steel common
at the close of last year was around
$245 a share.
Since organization the Steel Cor
poration has spent a total of nearly
$Ss0.000.000 for new construction
and acquisitions, yet the balance
sheet shows an increase in property
valuation of less than $3.50. 600, 900.
Deductions from earnings for de-
probation, sinking funds and ex-
traordinary replacements since or
ganization foot up to the enormous
total OF approximately $1,000. .000. 900.
working capital, including sink
ing and reserve fund assets. which
in 1901 stood at s13s.110.545. totaled
$569.9SS.25s on December 81. 1919,
an increase of approximately S4S2.-
100000. Stated in another way U. S.
Steel has increased 1t ingot capacity
by 149 per cent and its working CAP
ital over 80 per cent.
While this enormous increase in
capacity and assets has been going
on total capital stock, and bonded

by its balance sheet. has increased
less than $4,000, 900. and its pre-
ferred dividend and fixed charge

reduction of $3.323,SS1. The aston
ishing growth in assets and capacity
which we have mentioned has been
accomplished with a very small in
crease in capital stock and bonded
debt and an actual decrease in pre-
ferred dividend and interest obliga-
tions, showing that the corpora

The end of the express companies

The American Railway Express
Company, which is a Joint organfza-
ton of the Adams. Wells Fargo,
and Southern companies.
has asked the Interstate Commerce
Commission for an enormous in
crease in rates. The increase sought
is from Is to SO per cent.
That this effort at a rate increase
is a dying gasp for breath, is freely
predicted both at the Postoffice De-
partment and the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Even the ex-
press companies intimate they will
quit, and in fact the Adams, Wells
Fargo and Southern have told the
Interstate Commerce Commission
they didn't care to have their COM
panies back as before the govern
ment took them over.
One Makes Small PROFIT.
The American company has been
making a little profit on its foreign
business and II still shows signs of
life.
The American Railway Express
Company had an oper ating deficit Of
s57.0oO.000 for 1917, 1918 and 1919.
This is nearly twice as much as the
value of the company's property.
The company's deficit in 1919 was
$50. 200, 900.
And while the express business
profits" were in the red. the parcel
post Of the Postoffice Department
cleared s10,00O,O0o in 1919. The
operating receipts OF the parcel post
were 800. .000. 900, about the amount
of the operating revenue OF the ex-
press company. But expenses OF
the express company were enor-
nous.
What Increase Would Do.
This condition existed when only
the short-haul and small-package
rates Of parcel post were lower than
express rates. But the proposed in
crease in express rates will make all
express rates considerably higher
than parcel post rates. In this way
the express company faces the fol-
lowing condition:
II the company doesn't get an in
crease it will go to the wall for
want of money: If il does get an in
crease. its small-package business

Meanwhile the parcel post may
decrease rates again. 1t has done
SO three times since il started in
1918. and has never had an increase.
The express company has had a 20
per cent increase in rates the last
two wears.
The parcel post will take pack
ages weighing seventy pounds for
distances not TO exceed 500 miles and
fifty pounds for any distance. The
average size parcel post package
last year was three pounds and four
ounces and express bundles average
thirty pounds.
These tables show parcel post and
express rates between six points.
Top figures in each table are for one
pound; second for five pounds: third
for twenty-five pounds. and fourth
