Shase siaoo OF Van Camps new Issue
first mortgage bond.--E. B.
Answer-We think that Duuuesne
Light ffteen-year convertible deben-
ture 7hs, due 1885, are a good invest
ment with fairly attractive convert
ibie feature, which is that between
July !, 1923, and July /, 1894, they can
be converted, if the holder desires. into
per cent cumulative preferred stock.
We think that the new issue of Van
Camp bonds are good investment.
Iney are secured by a mortgage on all
the fixed assets OF the company.

Scarcity of Steel Common

The extent to which United States
Steel common is being taken from the
street by investors was illustrated by
the statement of representative of a
prominent wire house that the firm
did not have share of Steel on its
books. In other words, stock held by
customers had been taken up and put
in strong boxes. Another house re-
ported that it had considerable trouble
in borrowing 1000 shares for the ac-
count Of customers who had cold the
stock short.

Expect Regular Chandler Dividend

Recent weakness in Chandler Motors
has given rise to reports regarding the
possibility of another cut in the divi-
dend rate when directors meet early
in September A director stated yes
terday that the regular Sc annual rate
would be maintained. At the moment
the company is said to be earning at
the rate of more than the dividend re-
quirements. but it is further admitted
that a decline in business is likely to
take place this fall and winter In tho
six months ended June so slightly less
than $500 cars were shipped, and net
profits after all charges and Federal
taxes were approximately 100000, or
s2.85 share on the 5000 shares Of
capital stock outstanding. Just now the
company is devoting a great deal Of
effort to assisting dealers to dispose Of
cars on their hands, so that full ad
vantage can be taken of the resump-
ton of automobile buying which
Chandler officials believe will set in
next spring.

terday from 8 to 6A, new low record
price. Banking interests who have
followed the market action of this
stock closely said that these Offer

might have been. These interests said
there was nothing in the affairs of the
company to account for the weakness
in the stock, the statement being
made that earnings are now running
at the rate of 100000 q month. Re-
ports of impending financial Difficult

there was an inclination to connect the

U. s. Steel Tonnage Figures

Much interest is being shown in the
statement of untitled orders at the
close of business July 81 to be issued
by the Steel Corporation Wednesday,
Observers agree that the report will
probably show continued shrinkage
of tonnage on the comnany's books,
but in many quarters it is believed
that the decline from the total at
the end of June will not be so great
as IN some previous months. At that
time the company had slightly more
than 100000 tons on the books, and
it is believed the total July 81 will
be about 4,750,00O tons. The corpora
tons tonnage figures have shown
continuous shrinkage since July 81
last year, the average monthly decline
being about $4,000 tons.
