Steel Trade Sees Gain
From Disarmament Plan
Would Benefit in Increased
Building of Merchant Ships,
Is Opinion in Industry

"Considered purely from the stand
point of ultimate benefit to the indus
try, the disarmament program has
made a favorable appeal to manufac-
tarers of steel in week Of general
quietness," says "The Iron Age" "Naval
construction calls for less steel than
is commonly thought-in tonnage only
fraction of l per cent of a years out
put. 1t is true that the forge and ma
chine shops of the three private armor
plate and ordnance plants employ some
thousands of men, and that their COM
munities would suffer for time, as
would various shipyards. But ulti..
mately the steel industry as a whole
would profit by the large release of
labor and of tax money for merchant
ship building and other purposes of
peace.
Features of the week having di-
rect bearing on the iron and steel
market have been slowing down of
buying and an easing off in prices,
with some reduction in mill operations.
The remaining six weeks of the year.
1T is evident, will make a better show
ing IN mill output than in new busi-
ness put on the books.
Car work is still the most promising
factor in the new buying
"The Iron Trade Review" to-day will
say: Under fuctuating conditions OF
demand, little headway now is being
made by the iron and steel market, vet
there are no clear signs that any ma
terial repression has set in. Opera
tons hang around SO per cent, with
The indications that some of the princi-
pal producers will move more tonnage
in November than in October, which
was the best month of the year. A
more cheerful aspect of the situation
IS the tendency toward revival Of the
heavy products, due principally to the
broadening activity of railroad buying.
Railroad rate developments at Wash
ington again are more promising, and
1t may be that additional wage cuts
about to be announced by various sys-
TENS will speed the longed for reduc-
tion in freights.'

Curb Prices Rise
In Active Trading.
With Oils Leading
Standard of Indiana Re-
covers and Others Work
Higher; I,ndustrials Also
Show Increased Demand

Increased demand for leading curb
stocks manifested itself at the outset
of trading On the curb market yester-
day, aud continued throughout the day,
resulting in substantial advances, both
in oils and in many industrials
Standard Oil of Indiana recovered
nearly 3 points to within fraction of
80, while the New York company's
stock rallied points at one time.
Maracaibo worked up points above
25, and many other lower-prlced issues
gained fractions. Cities Service COM
mon again moved higher.
Texas Gulf Sulphur continued its ad-
vance, and Glen Alden Coal gained q
point on the revival of interest in coal
shares. Acme continued active around
it's recent high level. Motor and tire
stocks we're weak, however, and Cleve-
land Motors dropped to new low for
the movement.

These bonds and stocks are paid for and
locked up at safe deposit box. 7 am par
ticularly anxious to know what you think
about American Power and Light per
cent. Is it good enough for business mans
investment I'll X. ii.
Answer-We suggest two changes
the sale of your Baltimore e. Ohio gen
eral 5s and the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco adjustment 6s. We think that
under present railroad conditions both
of these bonds are to some extent spec
ulative. You quite properly make a
distinction between your speculations
and your investments, and we think
that you would be wiser to keep this
distinction always clearly in mind and
not let speculation enter into your bond
Investment You have enough of it
in your stocks, most of which, however,
in our opinion, are rather attractive
The American Power and Light 6s arc
a debenture- that is, they are not Sc
cured by mortgage, but are a direct
obligation of the company The COM
pany is holding company, but many
of the public utility financing com
panies are holding companies. In the
calendar year 1921, net for the holding
company amounted to $2,346,OOO, and
interest and rental charges to $1,379,-
600. The bonds would be classed among
business mems investments.

Answer-We would advise you to get
out of Brooklyn Rapid Transit now,
when You can stand your loss, rather
than to wait until some time, possibly
when you cannot so easily face loss.
American Cotton Oil common is, in
our opinion, purely speculative, and we
also advise you to get out of that. The
question OF whether you should sell or
hold on to Baltimore & Ohio AVS is
largely personal one, which you have
to decide for yourself. For a road
such as the Baltimore e. Ohio. serving
the Pittsburgh district, and with large
maturities falling due within the next
few years, the future holds out an
element of speculation. Given favor
able circumstances, it may we'll be that
the management can pull the company
through and restore its credit; given
unfavorable circumstances and the re-
verse might be the case. Do you want
to take the chance involved or not :?
The rest of your investments are good,
we think. 1t would be more conserva-
tive and safer to pay off your mortgage
as you get an opportunity from time
to time. On the other hand, under
present conditions of the bond market,
you can get a higher rate than per
cent with high degree of safety, we
think.
