LACKAWANNA STEEL
PRICES GO UP AGAIN
Figures Put at Level Of Big
Corporations After Some
Drastic Cuts.

Tho Lackawanna Steel Company,
which a short time ago announced rad
ical reductions in the prices of virtually
all of It's products and about the same
time reduced wages from is to 20 Der
cent, has decided to put into effect
once more the price schedule main
tained by the United States Steel Cor
poration since March. 1919. This means
that the prices OF most Of its products
will go back TO the level from which
the radical cut was made, representing
an increase Of from is to rs per cent
News OF this action which came In
dispatches from the company's plants
In Western New York, was received
here with surprise. Steel men were
greatly interested to learn that the
Lackawanna's experiment had failed so
soon, and some. especially among the
independents who were among the first
to make radical reductions. were doubt
full. If fair trial had Been given the
lower schedule.
At the offices Of the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company, one Of the first to
break away from the Steel Corporation
level a few weeks ago, 1t was asserted
that the corporation has no intention
of changing its policy. 1t was reiter-
ated that tho company would operate
and provide work for as many of It's
employees rs possible, even though it
has been necessary to cut prices. There
has been fair Improvement In Mid
vale's business since prices were low
ered.- an officer of the company said.
Judge e. H. Gary. chairman OF tho
United States Steel Corporation. who
has steadfastly refused to deviate from
the Steel Corporations level Of prices
adopted two years ago. declined yes
terday to comment on the Lackawan-
mas action. He has consistently main
tanned that judging from the Steel Cor
poration's costs the independents can
not sell their product at prices below
the corporation and still make profit
He has repeatedly asserted, too. since
the beginning OF the price cutting wave
that it would not have the effect or
stimulating business, but would cause
prospective buyers to hold off as long
as possible In the hope Of getting even
lower quotations.

ROYALTY FOR OIL Is ASKED.
Ottawa Resolution Seeks 8 y r. O.

OTTAWA, March A royalty Of s%

olution introduced to-day in the House
OF Commons by Brig. Gen. w. A. Cries

He urged that provision be made be-
fore q rush OF speculators that land
owners might not be deprived of a share
in the value Of oil discovered. At pres
ent the Dominion Government reserves

In Western Canada, and may lease. for
oil drilling. land already privately owned

Premier MeiShen took keen interest
In the debate. He said present oil pro-
duction In Canada Is only about per
cent of the quantity used In the Domin-

ducers In addition to the Government
royalty might deter production. The
Premier promised to have tho Depart

The Money Pl.tenu.

Call money loaned all day yesterday
at per cent. IN the New York Stock
Exchange. but over the counter call
funds were available freely at s per
cent. The forthcoming week lies just
enough In front OF the tax payment day
TO permit the accumulation of funds,
which forms a sort of plateau Of supply
and which heretofore has resulted in
lowering OF rates. In the weekly periods
IN front Of every tax payment day OF
1920 there was an artificial supply Of
money. which did not get depleted until
the checks given in payment of taxes
got back to the banks on which they
were drawn. This period promises to be
no exception. Money. however. was gen.
orally on a tighter basis last year. and
the declines during the 'plat ateau" week.
therefore, were marked. but this year a
rate below per cent. in the New York
Stock Exchange wouldsbe surprising.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Decentrali.ins Labor Control.

Railroad executives undoubtedly are
heart and soul In favor OF lower freight
and passenger rates. Better than any
one else. they know the volume of bust
ness that has been driven away by the
present scale of charges. But they un-
derstand well. as does the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the public.
that the reduction of rates Is out Of the
question while the present labor scale Is
being paid. Dissolution OF the Labor
Committee yesterday was step toward
the decentralization of labor control.
That 1t will lead directly to a lowering
OF all railroad labor schedules OF wages
and Immediately thereafter to a reduc-
ton of charges to the pubic is the firm

Lackawanna's Price Boost.

Wall Street was considerably surprised
yesterday when it was announced that
the Lackawanna Steel Company after
reducing prices had decided to raise
them again to the Steel Corporations
level. established in March, 1919. The
change was considered AS an interesting
experiment. supporting to a degree the
position Of Judge e. Fl. Gary, head Of
the United States Steel Corporation. who
has refused steadfastly to cut prices.
Judge Gary has maintained that the
principal effect OF reductions would be to
cause an uncertainty regarding the i'm

California OH Prices Hold.

Unlike midwestern and Southern pro-
ducers those OF the Pacific coast fields
have not cut the prices of their prod
ucts and from present indications have
no Intentions OF doing 90. according to
dispatches which have reached oil jour
nails hero. OIL men In the California
deld hold that their current prices. al
though somewhat better than In former
years, are still below tho margin OF
comparisons with the cost Of develop
ment existing In tho days Of cheaper
prices. They generally hold the opin-
lon that Pacific coast oil has been at q
figure far too low for many years and
that tho slump In oil prices In the East
may have q tendency to stabilize prices
on the coast. with the possibilities favor
ing an increase rather than decrease.

Atlantic Gulf Breaks Again.

Announcement late on Thursday
afternoon that the directors of the At
iantic, Gulf and West Indies Steamship
Lines had decided to postpone for two
months action on its preferred dividend
due at this time was the signal for an
other bear attack on the company's COM
mon stock. and traders seised the FIRST
opportunity after yesterdays opening
to begin hammering. There was such
confusion In the Guk crowd at the open.
ing that II was impossible to fix the
price for which the first sale was made.
and consequently the opening quotation
was made to include all of the initial
sales between 80 and ~. At the lower
mark II was on more than points from
Thursdays close and at the highest
point all day II was more than points
of. Tho tremendous short interest
which has been built UP In the stock
recently, however, kept It from break
ing too sharply under the severe attack
There were many shorts who had very
SUBSTANTIAL profits and they took oppor-
tunity TO cover at the lower points or
