proposed to declare and distribute to
holders of its per cent. preferred a
stock dividend of the same issue, eCuiva-
lent to the AZ per cent. In its unpaid
dividends. The new stock is to be sold
to provide funds to meet its maturing
obligations and for it's future capital
expenditures. Tho company's present

CONTINUED QUIET IN
STEEL IS OUTLOOK
New Year Opens Without Pros
pect of Immediate Improve
ment in Trade.
LIQUIDATION COMPLETED
Mill Operations to Gain
Prices Well Held-Pig Iron
Still Is Dull.

Hpecial Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PITTSBURGH. Jan. THE new year
opens with nothing very rosy in imme-
diate prospect for the iron and steel
.raoo. QUO with great deal of bad left
Gsehind. Stocks OF steel in buyers hands
shd Of manufactured wares were thor
eughly liquidated in 1921, the liquidation
being completed in nearly all cases be-
,ore the end of October. The production
of steel ingots in 1921 was about 20
100000 tons. The consumption of steel
1as considerably greater than its pro-
duction. Merely a continuance of those
conditions as to consumptive require
ments. therefore, will mean heavier de-
mand on the mills.
Mill operations will be this month bet
ter than was expected in many quarters
and may not fall materially behind the
average of the last three months. The
largest steel making company booked
more tonnage in actual shipping orders
in December than it filled, doing better
In that respect than it did in any of the
eleven preceding months.
The opinion that stocking up process
of moderate proportions will occur soon
ts growing in trade circles. Indeed one or
two very large distributors have begun
TO build up stocks after a very thorough
liquidation. Such stocking up, In addi-
tion to current consumption. might give
the mills a very fair operation, which
would help reduce production costs, al
ready too high in relation to present SELL
Ing prices.
Prices In the steel market are de-
cidedly well maintained all along the
line, which is more than could be said
of the market at any time In the last
several months. In few lines are there
absolutely rigid prices, but concessions
given for large orders are but small
fractions of what they used to be. There
is certainly enough steadiness to give
buyers some measure of confidence. Ex-
port shipments in January and February
promise to be heavier than they have
been tor several months, as good con-
struction steel contracts were closed last
month for various parts Of the world.
The local pig iron market has con-
tinued very dull. Basic iron is quotable
at $1S.25, valley, instead OF the sis
figure regarded for a long time as rep
resenting the market Prices otherwise
are unchanged. Sellers expect a buying
movement in foundry iron to develop in
the next two or three weeks, there hav-
ing been only sporadic activity in the
last three months or more. The market
is quotable as follows: Bessemer. $40;
basic, S1S.25: foundry. $3.50. Those
prices are f. o. b. valley furnaces,
freight to Pittsburgh being $1.96. The
average 1921 prices of pig iron at the
valley furnaces were for Bessemer,
s23.49: for basic. s21.s7. and FOL
foundry. s23.30.
