Dutch Oil Rights Ruling
lis Severely Criticized

The HAGUE, May 14.--Decisions of
the Dutch government relative to oil
rights in the Djambi oil field in tba
East Indies are severely censured bv
the influential weekly newspaner
Haagsche Post, which, in the course of
an editorial, expresses surprise that
the Ministry of Colonies has NOT re-
signed. The government has taken q
position which would deny equal RIGHTS
IN the Djambi field to the Standard Oil
Company. and which would appear to
give virtual monopoly to Dutch oil
concerns.
"The Dutch government" the news
paper declares, will do what the
Royal Dutch Oil Company wishes, be-
cause the company is very powerful
and many are of the opinion that Hol,
land is governed by it. Many facts are
known in we'll informed circles which
II published would ruin the reputation
OF various influential Dutchmen. The
Dutch oil policy smells very bad, espe.
eialiy. during recent weeks. when the
American note relative to the Diambi
oil field was kept secret from parlia-
ment'' "

Steel Price Average Lower

Judging from the average price of
eight leading iron and steel products,
as quoted by the Iron Age last week, the
independents have been shading their
quotations on some products under the
reduced schedule of the United States
Steel Corporation. The average price
of the basic products last week was
S57.59 a ton, compared with the Steel
Corporation average of $5s.42, which
was also the average of the week before.
in some quarters the independent cuts
are looked upon as the beginning of
price war, as it is known that little
new business is coming in at the cur
rent quotations. Two products used in
determining last weeks average showed
declines. Wire nails receded to SO from
1925 hundred pounds, and Bessemer
pig iron dropped 81 ton to $2596. In
products not used in determining the
average, the Iron Age quotes practically
all grades o. pig iron from so cents TO
$3.50 ton cheaper than the week pre-
eeding. The present average shows
decline of SO per cent below the high
1920 average of $85.03 ton on August
8, but over the August, 1918, level,
typical pre-war level, it still shows an
advance of 81 per cent.

The Fertilizer Stocks

1t is estimatd that fertilizer prices
are averaging about as per cent below
the level of a year ago, and the ton
mage OF fertilizer sold even last year
was not large. Current sales in diff
ferent localities are affected by the
retrcnchment policies instituted by the
farmers in thei efforts to economize
and show declines, according to some
estimates, OF 10 to so per cent. Thus
the earning outlook of the fertilizer
companies for the immediate future is
poor. Some brokers are advising their
clients to exchange these stocks for
railroad issues on the assumption that
they can be repurchased later to ad-
vantage.

Steel Prices

The opinion is held in some quarters
that steel prices are still too high to
induce new buying movement of large
proportions. Indications are that a
sharp cut in prices says Goodbody G.
CO., would be followed by the placing
of considerable orders from private
consumers and from the railroads. The
result would probably be sharp re-
vival in the steel industry, and conse-
quently in most other branches of bust
ness. Profits might be poorer for the
time being, but the outcome could
hardly be anything bat favorable to the
steel stocks. Until the price~cutting
takes place, however, there is unlikely
to be good revival and on current
earnings dividends on many of the
steel issues are in DANGER
