The Steel Report

United States Steel. common, which
spurted upward in the late trading
Tuesday to So, new high for the
year, had substantial setback yester-
day as a result Of publication Of the
earning figures for the March quarter,
showing the common dividend earned
only by a small margin. just. why
traders bought the stock so eagerly be-
fore the report was made public was
difficult to explain in view Of the wide
spread belief that revenues were al
most certain to show q falling off. The
sharp decline in the March earnings to
under 100000 set the Street to figur-
ing how the corporation would fare
during the second quarter 1t was cal
culated that, if the March ratio were
maintained net in the current quarter
would be $23 ,224,056, compared with
S32, ,2S6,722 in the first quarter. The
closing price on Steel yesterday was
83, a net loss of 2 points.

Commercial Discounts Easier

Rejecting the easier credit position
generally, substantial amounts of prime
commercial paper were placed yester
day on a straight per cent discount
basis, while some especially prime bills
went at ~ per cent. This is the first
time since the money market stringency
became acute that the open market
rate has fallen below the Federal Re-
serve rediscount rate of per cent.
The bulk of the business in prime
on on TN per cent basis, which COM
pares with a rate of 71s per cent last
week. The tendency of commercial bor-
rowers is to sell paper of short ma
turity where possible in the belief that
rates will be lower in the course of
few months.

of these conditions it was felt that the

which was adopted back in 1916.

Unfavorable Developments

The market had two unfavorable de-
velopments to contend with yesterday
in the report of the Steel Corporation
for the March quarter and the lower
ing of the Pennsylvania Railroad
dividend rate from per cent to 4 per
cent annually. Traders who have been
fighting the recent advance we're wilt
ing enough to take advantage in the
change of sentiment, so it was not sur
prising that weakness developed
throughout the general list. Rail
stocks were sold freely on the assump-
tion that the action of the Pennsyl-
vania board was only one example of
what other roads may have to do un-
less the general situation soon takes
u decided turn for the better. Traders
who had profits were quick to take
them, and in many cases they sold
more stock in anticipation that the
decline will carry further.

Gulf States Steel

James Bowron, who has been presi-

alton, was made chairman of the board
at meeting of the directors vester-
day. This action was taken in accord
ance with his own request, in view of
advancing years, to relinquish the
amount Of executive detail attached
to the office of president. Charles
Moffett, heretofore vice-president and
general manager, was elected to sue
ceed Mr.. Bowron. The company re-
ported an operating deficit for the
march quarter of $102,917, This re-
sulc renected the shutting down of

Royal Dutch

Strength of Royal Dutch stock of
late has been due to buying on the
knowledge that the company has been
successful in obtaining new produc-
tion on its Mexican Eagle Oil proper
ties. The latest development is under
stood to have been the bringing in of
large gusher. which had to be cap
ped, because of inadequate facilities
for handling the flush production. In
cidentally the news from the Mexican
oil fields in recent weeks has offset in
a measure the bearish talk of approach
ing exhaustion of this source of supply.

Vulca1liiziil1g
Is NoTrade
ForUntraiined

What is vulcanizationf Here
is term frequently. used by
motorists, yet one not generally
understood. To nearly everyone
il has mental association with
tire repair shops, because the
word appears prominently on the
signs over so many OF these es-
Establishments. This association
of ideas is SO strong that many
believe vulcanization is only an
other name for a tire repair.
But vulcanization has not SO
limited a meaning as that-it is
the process on which the whole
rubber industry of the world rests
Every article of rubber manufac-
ture that enters into the ser fee
of mankind has been vulcanized.
Whether it is a teething ring or
a tire, hose pipe or a hot water
bottle, rubber boot or a golf
ball, it must have passed through
the process of vulcanization.
Invention Declared Important
Rubber manufacturers did not
always know how to vuldaniZe
rubber. Before the process was
discovered millions of dollars
were spent in this country in the
manufacture of rubber goods that
reached the market only to prove
unsatisfactory. Many factories
were erected, especially in New
England, but all were loss.
Daniel Webster in the famous
law suit in which he defended the
first vulcanization patents, said
of these early efforts at mand-
facture:
"All these factories, all the
earnings of the iudEiduals con-
nected with the busitess, came to
an end and nothing was done un-
till business was revived by the
invention Of vulcanization."
Rubber Ruined by Temperature
These efforts at manufacture
failed because of the inability to
remove several objectionable
qualities in the rubber itself,
Among these were a tendency to
stiffen and harden and lose elias
ticity in cold weather, and to be
come soft and decompose in warm

H. Franklin Manufacturing COM
pany Of Syracuse tmakers of the
Franklin carl ranked fifth among
American automobile manufactur-
ers on the basis of sales and elev-
enth on the. basis of number of
cars produced. All manufacturers,
including Ford, were taken into
consideration in this calculation.
During the last quarter Of 1920
Franklin ranked seventh among
American automobile manufac-
turers (including Ford) on the ba-
sis Of value of sales.

weather. A rubber coat would
become so stiff in the winter that
1t would stand of itself like a
tent. In the summer time rubber
goods on the shelves of mer-
chants would be soft and sticky
and in time become a shapsiess
mass Of odorous decomposing
vegetable matter. The odors
were SO highly offensive as alone
to constitute a bar to successful
sales.
The discovery of the secret, of
converting rubber from this use
less state into one of the most
Iserviceable substances known to
man was one Of the great dis
coveries Of the age. The inven-
tor, Charles Goodyear, learned the
secret only after ten years of ar
duous toll.
1t is this process which consti-
tutes what is known as vulcani-
cation. First, and several yeans
prior to the full solution OF the
problem, it was learned that sui
phur mixed with the crude rub
ber produced some changes for
the better. But the complete
elimination Of the Objectionable
features was effected number
of years later when the discovery
was made that the mixture OF
sulphur and rubber when exposed
to a high degree of heat produced
a change" in the rubber tnat
gave it those qualities of dur
ability and permanence which
have made it valuable is SO many
ways.
Vulcanization increase the
elasticity and distensibility Of rub
ber, and makes it insusceptible
to chances of temperature. In
fact, when heated, the vulcanized
rubber does not fuse and become
clammy and viscid, but remains
unchanged at all temperatures
short of the absolute decompcp.-
tion point. Oil and grease, which
formerly softened it so quickly as
to make it unuseable, no longer
do quick harm to it, although in
some forms, especially tires, Ill
and grease are counted among
the chief enemies of long life for
rubber.

experience that the redSction In
prices did not increase sales. AS
a matter OF fact. it caused un-
certainty and indecision on the
part of prospects and greatly dis
turbed sales.
While there may be some who
may reduce prices, we feel that
there will be stiffening of prices
and can see nothing at all in the
trend Of costs to justify decreases .
