WIDE DEMAND
 FOR STEEL NOTED
Producers Prepare To Expand
 Output

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The demand for steel continued to broaden rapidly during the past week, and there were evidences of increased activity in all directions. Preparations for larger production were displayed by leading producers, and prices developed strong undertone, with advances in most de- scriptions, and the trade was very optimistic relative to the future. Pig iron was active, with a good demand and producers are well sold up for nearby delivery and offering sparingly for the future. Prices were firmer and in sellers favor.
 The demand for copper has fallen off following the increased business noted during the first half of the month, and some shading of prices has been re- ported during the past few days. Of ferings, however, have been compara- lively small, and producers were still asking 1873 to 14c for forward deliv- cries at the end of the week, although sales have reported at 1334c for de liveries extending over the balance of the year.
 According to one of the leading statistical authorities, worlds smelter production for October was 12S.5O7 tons. against 116,817 for September, in cluding production of 8O,9O8 in the United States, against 74,39O in Sep tember.
 Tin showed but little quotable changes. Consumers and dealers ap- peared as buyers every time prices were shaded.
 Lead remained unchanged, buying was less active, but movement into con sumption continued large and the gen eral situation was viewed as sound,
 Ziiic less active and prices a shade lower, although offerings from produc- CTS are not large.

RECORD BREAKING
 SALES CONTINUE
Weeks Review Shows 2,000,000
 Per Day Average

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Record- break ing trading in the stock market, which overcame onslaughts of profit-taking and demonstrated it's ability to resi-: selling pressure, featured this weeks financial markets. Activity continued at the same terrific pace which has been maintained since election day, with reactionary movements at times imped- ing the advance, but failing to make much headway. Daily sales continued to average better than 2,000,000 shares.
 Bond trading expanded in line with the swollen volume of stock dealings, but prices failed to keep pace with the rise in stocks, which reached the highest levels in years.
 Foreign exchange trading was fea- tured by return to par of Dutch guild CTS, the third European currency to come back since the war. Demand sterling held near the years high levels of SAGA, and French francs were slightly higher in reflection of the approaching loan of $1O0,00O,000 to France.

DTN,S REVIEW

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S current summary of general business follows, in part:
 "The favorable response to the result of the recent national election has be- come more strongly marked. On the stock exchange there has been unpre- cedented trading, with a further rise of prices, and in commercial channels the progressive broadening of activity has reflected the much improved senti- ment that has developed throughout the country. The increased confidence which now prevails has been mani fested in various ways, as in the plac- ing of numerous orders that had been held up by political uncertainty, in the greater willingness to anticipate future needs, and in the preparations that are being made for an extension of the business revival. The current weeks news from different quarters has been highly encouraging, and optimistic forecasts have been the rule. Expansion in the major industries has gained momentum, and from some of them have come reports of additions to work ing forces as production recovers, which obviously augments the public pur- chasing power. Operations in iron and steel, copper lumber, textiles and hides and leather, among other lines, have risen further, and prices are turning in sellers favor, with fully twice as many advances as declines in Dun's list of wholesale quotations. The latter move ment is in sharp contrast to that of a year ago, when reductions largely pre- dominated. A significant phase of the present situation in the retail field is the expectation of a big Christmas trade. the holiday buying having al ready begun, and distribution of heavyweight goods was stimulated early this week by cold weather over a wide area.

HAS UNIQUE RECORD

Fifty-nine years is long time for any concern to have been continuously in business. But for a concern to be that not one of its customers has ever suffered loss surely Is unique.
 This is the enviable record of the Adair Realty and Trust company of Atlanta, Ga. The Adairs have been is- suing first mortgage bonds during all these years. During this entire period, they claim with justifiable pride, mot a single investor who has entrusted his funds to the house of Adair has suf- fered loss in either principal or in- terest."
 Notwithstanding this record, the Adairs, to make assurance doubly sure, have just made arrangements whereby the Globe Indemnity company, one of the largest insurance companies in the country, will internationally guarantee to the purchaser the payment of both principal and interest on any issue of Adair-protected bonds in return for a yearly premium of one-half of l per cent.
 As Adair bonds pay 2 per cent, the investor, after taking out this insur- ance against loss, gets a return of 6h per cent. This should interest investors who have hesitated to part with their funds lest they might suffer loss.
 This idea of having a responsible in- demnity company guarantee invest ments is sure to spread.

PACKER IN NEW YORK

Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago packer, was in New York this week. Bankers and he arc working on plans for strengthening the company's financial structure, and it is hoped definite plan may be ready for announcement after the New Year. MT. Wilson told me that, notwithstanding all that has occurred, the company in the first ten months of the year has been able to earn all it's fixed charges, with some thing left for the stock and earnings Mir Wilson Is confident America is en- tering a period of notable prosperity.
 Our big bankers are so often bitterly criticized by heads of corporations whose affairs need banking attention that it is pleasant to know that MT. Wilson, when asked, replied, "The Chi cago bankers have been most helpful and the New York bankers, too, have acted all right"

down scrambled to get aboard.
 Many Wall Street professional oper- ators are quoted as being alarmed over the spectacular advance which has been raging since the election. According to current reports, many of them nave sold short. Some have already covered at a heavy loss, while others are viz orously fighting the market in the hope of being able to bring about sharp relapse to enable them to square their accounts without suffering loss.
 Now is it not just possible that these Wall Street professional spectators have been too close to the stock market to see it right?
 The writer has been emphasizing for months the encouraging trend of events both in this country and abroad. The warning was repeatedly sounded that it might prove dangerous to act timidly. business commitments. It seemed clear that everything was tending toward very notable improvement in business conditions.
 No human being can foretell with certainty what the stock market may do from day to day. The current boom may burst in week, or 1t may be still bowling along when the chimes ring in the New Year.
 But this can be said: Both domestic and foreign conditions warrant an optimistic view of the general outlook. Our railroads certainly have a brighter future than they formerly had. And many industrial corporations should also be distinctly better.
