Wall Street, New York, March
20.-Expansion in the orders foi
steel end far greater acti"ity II
that industry rs reflected in an
addition of $4,000 tons 10 the
untitled order report Of United
States Steel is symptomatic OF
the general industrial situation
throughout the country. Condi-
t;ons in The steel industry are
parallcled by those in practically
all building materials. The re-
ports OF automobile concerns dur
ing the past two weeks have in
dit&ted continuous expansion IN
the production OF and demand
for, cars, as we'll as for CONNER
cal trucks, and the corresponding
demand for steel and iron, as
well as for other materials, may
he expected TO be large. Greater
expansion in she activity of the
oil industry imposes further strain
upon the steel producers of the
country.
The prices Of commodities con-
tinue 20 move upward, as is no.
.ablv seen both in the metals
trade and in sugar, cotton and
various other essentials. These
advances Of price are being Ill
rcctly reflected in the stocks Of
the principal producing compa-
mics. Already. certain indications
of doubt on the part of business
men and bankers ave evident with
respect TO the question whether
such price advances, ii continued
for some time, may not result in
creating a dangerous situation by
che king values. Whateverf may
be i'm store for the future, there
is no present prospect OF thai
kind. but, on the contrary, the
outlook is good, ana there is P-
parcutly every reason to expect
slill further enlargement Of de-
mand DURING the current season.
In these times, it is hardly worth
while to look too far ahead, due
to the many conflicting factors
which are always at work. What
is certain is that the increase OF
value and output in basic conf
modi.ics is now attaining proper
tions that are almost unprecedent-
ed, while stocks will feel a cor
responding effect unavoidabIy.
The progress that is being made
by business at the present time is

ltrv indicate an unusually con-
seryative attitude on their part.
They are counselling conservatism
in the placing Of orders far in
advance. as well as in the under
taking. of manufacturing far
tahead on the basis Of untitled or
lders. This is a different point OF
view from the one that was adopt
cd in 1919 and should result in
corresponding safer management.
of the situation. Statements from
Washington have seemed during
the past few days TO indicate that
further advances in discount rates
were less likely than they had
been supposed to be. Foreign
affairs. meanwhile. continue a.
disturbed and uncertain as ever,
with corresponding effects upon
rates of exchange. Sterling
maintains It's high level and q
small movement Of gold to Europe
during the past week is to be Tt,
parded as purely sporadic ,inas-
much as there is no profit in the
shipment of gold in the ordinary
course of things until sterling
reaches a figure around S4.S9.
A waiting condition mas de-
veloped during the. past week, al
though advances have, been scor-
ed in a number of stocks. VII
some have thus displayed strength,
others left to take care Of them
selves have tended to sag, and
there has been an apparent lack
of buying power on the part OF
the public. In these conditions
the question how far syndicate in
terests may succeed in carrying
out their plans Especially in view
of tendencies of higher rates and
increasing demands for funds to
be used IN trade channels) is
open to some question. The great
strength and scope of business
furnishes an optimistic back
ground, provided that the gen
eral public can be more fully in
terested in investment conditions.
Some of the important operators
who have the courage Of their
convictions have for the past
week or ten days been favoring
the short side of the market, but
their efforts to dislodge stocks
have been futile. With business
in all directions showing eXpan-
sion, and the railroads of the
country struggling to handle the
immense traffic as result there
of, owners of stocks feel that there
is more to be gained in holding
on than in selling at the pres
ent level, Notwithstanding that the
situation abroad is still black and
that the general run of stocks
are not the bargain they were.

ings. Within the past week fur
Their evidence Of excellent indus
trial and rail earnings for tn
first two months of the present
wear has been afforded, while the
annual statements representing
conditions during 1922 have con
tinued to be better than had been
believed probable. This fal
bic earnings situation has enabled
in a good many corporations, the
writing up of SURPRISES which
fairly well take care of all prob
able needs for current financing
and thus tend to relieve the con-
Germs of any likelihood Of de
pcndence upon bank loans The
outcome is to increase the proba-
bility of extra cash dividends,
which are now looked for in IL
number of concerns. Such larger
cash dividends or the initiation
of cash dividends on stocks which
are now non-dividend paying is
now looked forward to as the next
step necessary for the advance
ment of quotations
While railroads have continued
to give a good account of them
selves in their current earnings
statements, as published from
day to day, it is probably true
that a more powerful factor in
the situation is now seen in the
progress that is being made in
the establishment Of rail road
mergers. One such involving
the "Nickle Plate" is apparently
on the way toward consummatlon.
Hearings on the proposed plan for
mergers of eastern roads are eX-
pectcd to be opened by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission an
the near future, and, when 50
opened. will undoubtedly present
suggestions for combination of
interests which, if effected, may
largely influence the prices of
some of the standard stocks in
this part of the country. Changes
in capitalization and proposals for
combinations of existing comElna-
tons of existing companies al
ways give rise to greater activity
of stocks with speculative posi-
bihties of changes in value. This
is likely to be the case in con-
nection with railway issues which
are in the peculiar po-
sition of having been largely alb
sorbed, with but very little float
ing supply, due to the fact that
it has been so long since any
new issues were put out for r.
nancing purposes. If the public
could be assured Of a discontinue
ance of Congressional attacks it
might easily be that large de-
mand for railroad shares could be
developed,
1t continues TO be true that the
great expansion of business has
made but little corresponding in
road upon the credit supply of
the country. The Federal Re
serve banks still report only
1888, 100000 of bills in portfolio,
and the larger member banks
throughout the country are Ger
tainly not as yet discounting
heavily. The business boom has
been able to finance itself on the
strength of it's own resources to
an unexpectedly large degree,
with the result that but little of
what is called 'bank initiation
has been developed. Reports
