Prices Steady
In ID ay Of
Thin Trading
Foreign Exchanges and Cot
ton and Grain Quotations
React After Sharp Up
ward Movement Monday

Yesterday was an in-between day in
the financial markets. In the stock
market public abstention from trading
left the marketplace subject to the
whims of professional traders. The
commodity markets, too, were thin, but,
unlike the security dealings, they re-
vealed a definite price tendency. While
stock and bond quotations vacillated
irregularly, making no lasting changes,
quotations on cotton, wheat and corn
and most of the European exchanges
reacted after the sharp gains on Mon
day.
The expectations Of fairly favor
able quarterly report of the United
States Steel Corporation after the close
of trading helped to keep stock prices
steady. The statement, which covered
the final quarter of 1920, supplied the
data necessary for constructing the
full report for the year. Envisaged as
an annual statement, the announcement
is encouraging to stockholders, reveal
ing earnings on the common shares of
$1670, as compared with 5000 in 1919.
Analysis shows, however, that earn
ings were becoming progressively
smaller each month during tho last
quarter, Apd Judge Gary indicated that
income is ifow running about the same
as during the last sixty days. The re-
port confirms what every well-informed
observer of the steel industry had al
ready recognized-that we are now in
the midst of depression in the steel
trade. But inasmpch as the earnings
for the last quarter We're up to ex-
pectations. the statement came sas no
shock to the financial district. The
chairman of the Steel Corporation
reiterated his belief in gradual i'm
provement in the near future. Out in
the Pittsburgh district the prediction
has been made that turn upward will
come with the beginning of spring.
Another factor which fixed itself in
message Of Governor Miller on the
traction situation, which spectators
interpretated as indicative of policy
which would lift the utilities out Of
the bankruptcy class. The stocks Of
the New York traction companies were
bid up at the opening, but later in
the day their gains were effaced. The
motor and tire stocks were firm, the
leather securities irregular, and the
railroads irregular. The lack of
breadth in the market, however, i'm
paired the significance which could be
properly attached to the quotations.
In thes foreign exchange mart, In
creased offerings Of bills, which were
attracted to the marketplace by the
rising quotations, yesterday caused a
downward reaction toward the close Of
the day, The announcement that
France would not be in the market in
the immediate future for a loan also
no doubt tended to chill the ENTHUSIASM
of spectators. Sterling, however. was
steady, and the Scandinavian exchanges
remained firm. The movement in ex-
changes, accompanied by foreign SELL
ing pressure, tended to cause a slump
in grain quotations. and also helped
to unsettle sentiment among those
trading in cotton.

Fine Investment Demand

However short the money rations
for speculation in securities may be,
the amount of funds available for in
vestment purposes is surprisingly
large. bankers say. They point with
satisfaction to the ready absorption Of
recent new offerings. The quick over
subscription of the Belgian loan. the
American Agricultural Chemical issue
and the numerous municipal offerings
of late are pointed to as signs of
healthy conditions in the investment
market. Investors generally seem to
be impressed with the fact that the
day of the high income yields afforded
on the basis of current prices will pass
in time. This accounts in large meas
ure for the avid appetite Of investors
for longterm bonds.

Improvement in Cuba

Conditions in Cuba are much i'm
proved, and to a certain extent conf
dence has been restored, James II. Ed
wards, representative in Cuba Of the
Irving National Bank, said yesterday
on his arrival from Havana. Within q
short time, he said, partial resump-
tion Of sales of commodities from the
United States to Cuba may be looked
for. "Since December" the banker
said, "energetic measures have been
taken to clear up the port congestion
at Havana, and notable improvement
is apparent. Manufacturers and ex-
porters In the United States may ex-
pect healthy orders again from Cuba
in the not distant future. 1t may be
expected that in some instances the
foreign exporters will have to make
concessions to the buyer in prices as
q result of delayed deliveries, or ex-
tend time for payments. They prob
ably will not make as large profits as
they expected, BUT the actual loss on
the principal which their goods repre-
sent should not be excessive"

A. II. Loeb, vice.president of Sears

Chemical Bonds Go Well

Outside of traction issues, the fea-
ture Of trading in bonds yesterday was
the early absorption of the $3O,o00,o00

per cent issue. The early closing of
the books was surprise even to those
who realized the exceptionally high
rating of the bonds, which. with the
exception of a small closed mortgage
of less than s7,oO0,OO0, form the only
mortgage obligation of the company,
The preferred dividends always have
been paid, and a comfortable margin
above them has been earned besides.

regular passenger rates, which will in
clude the 20 per cent increase allowed
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The Great Northern has already

Of each month. The eastern roads. it

An Optimistic View

The bottom of the valley of indus

ing to the view of George E.
Roberts, vice president of the Ma.

the belief yesterday that, conditions
may be expected to improve from now
on. ut is fair to say" said Mr.. Rob-
erts.l "that the worst Of the industrial
depression is over. The situation has
now noticeably improved, stocks have
been reduced, merchants are more con-
tident and there is general resump-
tion of buying. ! hardly look for a
full state Of employment and general
prosperity until the industrial situa-
tion is more generally balanced. The
speed with which the present depres-
sion is effaced will be in just the ratio
that every one realizes the necessity
of getting prices down to a common

4 Money Market Prediction

The loan manager in one Of Wall

made the prediction yesterday that .he

change will have dropped to 5 per cent
by Marcn I. 1t was his opinion that,
despite temporary stringency from
time to time, money is gradually work
ing into much easier position, and he
said it would not surprise him to see
call money in oversupply by early sum-
small way at range of to per cent,
depending upon the character Of the
collateral and the maturity. AS gen
eral rule, brokers do not care to tie
themselves up with time loans running
for more than sixty days, because they

gram would be passed-which, of
course, would be the only reason for
purchasing the bonds. The underlying
feeling that the municipal ownership
feature of the Governors plan was not
exactly bullish factor caused re-
action after squirt at the opening of
the day. Most of the early gains
which carried Third Avenue SIS and In
