most OF the addresses made few eve

the local credit men. The opinion was
generally voiced before, during and after
the dinner that the real crisis of the
business situation had been safely
passed. In fact, the hard ruts in the
roads were safely negotiated several
months ago. II was pointed out a bet

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

While generally expected. the cut in
the Pennsylvania Railroad dividend was
more or less Of shock to investment
circles. 1t was sad news to the COM
pany's legion of shareholders, OF whom
the largest percentage is of the gentler
ser. To a great many, II means a
hardship, for among the long list OF
the Pennsy shareholders there are num-
bers whose income is derived entirely
from dividends received on their Penn
eylyania holdings.
This Is the second hard jolt Phila =
delphia investors have suffered within
the last six months. The first was the
reduction of the United Gas Improve. L.
ment dividend from an 8 to 4 per cent
basis. The dividend, on both OF these
stocks were always regarded as abso-
lutely safe and, next TO government
bonds, were both considered as life
time, reliable investments.
The action of the Pennsylvania Rail
road directors only naturally has raised
the question of the safety Of other
railroad dividends. It would not be
surprising II other reductions must be
made, as the high price all these com
panies are paying for their new
financing. unless there shall be a radi
cal change In traffic conditions, easily
foreshadow reduced dividend distrbu :
tions. When the leading corporations
OF the country are compelled to pay
from to 10 per cent for new money,
1t Is reasonably certain some pairing
down must be done elsewhere and the
most convenient avenue of enforced
economy is usually found In reduced
dividends.

Better Steel Demand


Iron Age says Reports from steel
trade centers indicate Improvement in
sentiment with slight bcttcrment in
demand, represented by belated appear
ancc Of spring business looked for in
win last month. Operations are little
changed, apart from some recovery from
low dip by Steel Corporation last week.
Average for the industry Is somewhat
under 40 per cent.
'The larger working of automobile
plants now gives signs of being more
than the furry 1t wIS first thought TO
be. A 30 per cent operation OF indie
pendent sheet mills this week is cred
tied in large part to automobile demand,
and there is 40OO-t ton inquiry from
Ford Motor, chiefly for blue annealed
sheets.
There is better promise OF activity in
oil. Twelve 1000 barrel tanks for
Wyoming call for 1900 tons of plates.
! FINISHED steel prices are generally
maintained at figures announced two
weeks ago, the few concessions reported
being traceable to quotations made be-
fore the advance. A two cent price on
plates was made by one Of the smaller
mills.
Though only seven and a half days
bridges and buildings we're contracted
for in March and total was over twice
that of February. six months ended with

steel by over Ia per cent than the six

work, and fresh projects calling for $500
tons have appeared, half of this being
for railroad car construction and re-
pairs.
Rails are the only stable factor in
the export trade. T&rce lots are up
with good prospects that business will
come to this country, 1000 tons for
Imperial japanese Railways. 10000 for

mines the value Of this property.
Utilities Getting Fairer Deal
Almost each succeeding week brings
testimony indicating more liberal at
titudc toward public utility concerns
on the part of the various state Public
Service Commissions. The latest evi
dence on this line vas furnished by the
decision Of the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission ordering the Scran
ton Railway Co., one of the most i'm
portant subsidiaries of the American
Railways Co., to file Immediately O
tariff covering a rate of fare Of eigh,
cents for cash fares and four tickets for
thirty cents. Naturally the increased
fare will add materially to the revenue
Of the company.
The commission further found. after
most exhaustive investigation by their
engineering experts, that the value OF
the Scranton property is $4,000, 900
This decision is most important to tn,
holding company and the security
