reports net income Of Ss04,523 after ex-
penses and fixed charges. equivalent to
S8.04 a share earned on its $4,000, 900
outstanding capital stock. Gross income
amounted to s1,59o.7o7. from which
$T2.536 was deducted for expenses and
S713.64S for interest. The addition Of
profit and loss credit of sSs,56 brought
the surplus to sS93.0S7
The consolidated balance sheet of the
Adams Express Company and the
Southern Express Company. as Of De-
ccnber 81, 1921. showed total assets and
liabilities of S2S,696.046 against s2S,-
11S.787 a year previous. In addition to
it's s11.904,S00 of American Railway
Express stock, the company has other

Although call loans made yesterday
extend to next Tuesday. the supply of
money was distinctly increased yester-
day and, with no increase In demand,
it's rate eased on from a renewal of 5
per cent to a minimum of AZ per cent.
The biggest turnover of call loans in
many weeks occurred yesterday. Two

without that action, money would have
been a drug in the market. AS it was.

U. S. STEEL,S UNTITLED
ORDERS AT LOW MARK
Decline Is Laid to End Of Year
Cancellations.

Untitled orders on the books Of the
United States Steel Corporation at the
end of January totalled 4,241.67S tons,
compared with 4.c6s.l14 tons in Decem-
ber. a decline Of 26,736 tons. Wall Street
had expected an increase. The end of
the war depression early in 1919 carried
the untitled tonnage to 4.2s2.310 tons In
May, a low record. This mark stood as
the minimum until November and twice
since that has been broken.
Orders received and shipments dis
patched In January were about evenly
balanced. the decline being due largely
to cancellations. January operations
averaged around 40 per cent. OF
capacity. with production estimated at
between 100000 and $4,000.

sim n Bonus Market.

Although the early scare of the SOL
diers' bonus and the proposed tax on
security transactions has worn off, yes
terday's market continued to reflect un-
certainty which the majority of per-
sons in the financial community felt
with respect to the plan. Men intimate
with Washington affairs are far from
feeling that there is no chance OF the
big tax being imposed Notwithstanding
the confident assertions Of others that
"it will all come out all right. IL al

stock market business, as many traders
who would otherwise be in the market
