NORFOLK TO SPEND BIG SUM.
Extension to Pigeon Creek VIII
Use Part of s1s,ooo,Ooo Fund.

n. ID. ATaher, president of the Norfolk
and Western, said yesterday that his
road would spend approximately SIS. .000.-
900 in 1921 in improvements and extern
sions The most important work under
taken is the construction of an eighteen
mile line in West Virginia from Lenore
to the Pigeon Creek coal fields. The
cost will be approximately $4,000, 900
and opens up 26.000 acres of coal lands
with potential production OF 1870 900, 900
tons.
The clectrifcation of its coal handling
facilities will increase the Norfolk's coal
capacity by 80 per cent. in the opinion
OF Mr.. Maher. The improvements in

PIG IRON OUTPUT DROPS;
MORE MILLS PUT ON
Merchant Rollings Show In
crease in Many Sections.

Pig iron output registered a heavy de-
cline last month. according to figures
compiled by the Iron Age. The total pro-
duction was 2.405,S45 tons. or 77,47s
tons day, against 2,703,S55 tons in De-
cember or S7.222 tons day. The jan
uary production was the smallest since
May, 1915. except the three strike
months of May, June and October. 1919.
The United States Steel Corporation.
however, added $4,000 tons to it's De-
cember output, while the independents
made about 10000 tons less and the
merchant furnace output fell off 165, 900
tons.
by and large" the Iron Age con-
tinues, 'the operating situation at steel
works and rolling mills is little changed.
! The Steel Corporation has had some
good rail rollings in the Chicago district.
| and it's pipe mills have been full OF work,
though its schedules in bars. sheets and
wire products have shown some falling
off and in general new orders in January
have not held up"
The Iron Trade Revser says:
Further idle rolling and steel making
capacity has been put into operation by
Independent producers in the last week
in Chicago, Pittsburg, Mahoning VAL
ley and Eastern territory. At the same
time Steel Corporation plants have run
on their accustomed high scale. Mill
output ali around accordingly is better
than for some weeks. The Mahoning
Valley shows so per cent activity this
week. Most of this gain still is attrib-
utable to the backing UP of some ton
mage during recent cessations plus a
modest amount of new business.
"Some releases by automobile builders
have helped the sheet mills. Few plants
resuming in any line. however. have
been able to accumulate more than .
few weeks work ahead. Hence pro-
duction apparently now is in excess OF
new bookings. The test as to whether
present activities can be maintained will
not be long delayed unless an appre-
ciable expansion of business develops"

PEUGEOT COMPANY
WILL ENTER U. S.
French Motor Concern to Man

Another foreign automobile manufac-

to supply the American demand for lts
product and as a result has interested
American capital in it's plan 10 form an
American company to manufacture the
same car here. The Rolls-Royce Com
pany of England was the first to come
from abroad to make automobiles here.
The new company, which is to be known
as the Peugeot Company Of America,
will manufacture the Peugeot car, now
made by the Peugeot Company of
France. The new company is to be
incorporated in Delaware with an
authorized capitalization of 100000
of per cent cumulative preferred stock
and at present with $4,000 shares OF
common stock of no par value
The preferred stock will have a ten
year maturity date and interest and
principal will be guaranteed by the
Peugeot Company of France or the
total amount of preferred only $1,500,-
coo is to be issued at once. OF the
common stock only $4,000 shares will be
issued 1t is understood, however. that
the authorized common stock may be in
creased later to 100, 600 shares, of which
10000 will be outstanding. Banking
interests have been interested in the
new issue and it Is expected that an
nouncement of the offering of the new
stock will be made soon
The new company plans to acquire, il
possible. a factory somewhere in New
England for the manufacture of its
product 1t will put out seventy-siX
horse power car with new type valve
less motor. which is in use in France
and is said to give fifteen miles to the
gallon of gasolene. The retail price of
the car will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
Engineers represenHng the Peugeot
Company of France are in this country
and will take immediate charge of the
actual engineering and construction work
of the new American company. The
French company. which manufactures
auton,obiles. bicycles and other vehicles.
has been in existence for los years, is
unable to supply the demand in France
alone, It was said yesterday. and conse-
quently the demand from other countries
is absolutely unsatisfied. Present plans
call for the delivery to the French COM
pany OF any cars manufactured by the
American company unsold here that the
foreign market may be supplied.

COPPER SALES PLAN
TO Be UP TOMORROW
Producers Expect to Work Out
Details for Issue of
Debentures.

Plans OF the leading producers of
| financing of the surplus of 00,Ooo,o0O
pounds by the sale of debentures are
rapidly nearing completion. and meet
! ing of the Copper Producers Export AS
sociation will be held tomorrow, when
it is believed final details will be worked
out.
The proposal, as 1t now stands, in
wolves the issue of S40.000,000 of de-
bentures bearing interest at per cent.
and running for three or four and pos
sibly, but not probably, five years. A
banking syndicate will handle the de-
benture Issue, and the copper surplus
will be trusteed under the plan as secu-
rites for the obligations.
The copper is to be pledged, it is un-
derstood, at 10 cents a pound. Although
this is considerably below the market
quotation. and even further below the
present cost of production, the produc-
ers feel that by obtaining that much on
the big surplus they will have lifted a
large proportion of the burden they are
bearing.
Under the proposal the copper surplus
securing the debentures would be sold
through the Copper Producers Export
Association by the trustees whenever
the market was ready for it. The price
would depend, 1t is believed, upon the
| market, but undoubtedly minimum
would be fixed considerably above 10
cents. The amount realized over the 10
cent figure would be placed into sink
ing fund for retiring the debentures.
By removing their burden of heavy
carrying charges oh the 10000 900
pounds of copper the producers feel that
they will be able to turn their attention
to the other problems in the industry.
The important companies are now op-
Grating at between 40 and 80 per cent.
OF capacity. and indications yesterday
were that further curtailment may be
made soon. Such action. 1t is believed,
will be for the protection of producers
who have determined to withhold their
product from the market until they can
get price that will allow them TO break
even, at least.
