INCREASE IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IS SEEN
Firms Study Methods of De-
creasing Costs as Profits
Show Gain.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 27.--Profits
and prices are up in the steel industry.
But the major. factors in that line are
not resting on their oars and letting
the boat run on momentum. They are
determined to keep profits up, even
should prices suffer setback. They are
doing this by constant study and i'm
provement of methods.
How effective these methods are eX-
pected to be is indicated by the action
of the United States Steel Corporation
in increasing its common shares OF
capital stock and eliminating it's bonds
outstanding.
Men in most intimate touch with the
steel industry declared today that this
move could not be interpreted as a
plan to reduce the dividend rate. Con-
sequentlv it must mean increasing the
distribution of profits by $34,769,530 an
nually since 4.966, 100 more shares will
be issued The present stockholders
have the first chance to secure this
extra stock. and in reality it is dis
tribution to them in the form of a
continuous extra dividend, although it is
not called such.
It never has been the policy Of this
great corporation to take on increased
dividend obligations unless they had
every chance of being maintained. BY
the plan. bonds totaling $271 1886 900 will
be retired and interest on them Of
$13,569,2 $50 year saved.
The leading interest Is far from being
the only corporation in the business
which has prospered. The list includes
Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet g. Tube,
Otis Steel, Midland Steel Products, Cen
trail Alloy Steel, A. M. Byers, Jones &;
JsughI;n and score Of others. Those
which have prospsred most arc the most
ac.Ive today In efforts to reduce costs.

CURB SHARES GAIN
ON BROADER SCALE
Advance Continues Witt
Practically All Groups in
Upward Swing.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

! Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27-The up
ward movement predominated on the
Curb Exchange today. Practically
every group was represented in the i'm
provement, but with no particular class
OF stocks outstanding.
Uneasiness over the prospect of high
er money rates at the end Of the
month served as retarding influence
upon operations for the rise.
The airplane stocks gave a good ac-
count of themselves and it was evil
dent that the better grade issues were
being looked upon with increased favor
because of expanding operations and
the outlook for improved earnings. Con-
solidated Aircraft was bid up almost 2
points to new high record: Sikorsky
went. to fresh top and special buying
kept on in Aviation Corporation of
America. Rumors of merger plans were
denied by officials of one of the COM
panies mentioned. Strength Of utility
stocks was noteworthy incident, mas
much as there were no outside devel-
opmentS to influence sentiment. They
were considered attractive in the cur
rent market merely because of their
steady earnings record. Northeastern
Power, United Gas improvement and
Electric Bond & Share Securities were
the leaders. Most of the oils drifted
aimlessly. Mining stocks were led by
New Correlia Copper, which reached
new high; Newmont Mining, New Jer-
sey Zinc and the low-price Iron Cap.
Operations for the rise were agrees
Sively renewed in Gold Seal Electric.
Above so, it established its best price
on reports of new incoming business
s,d greatly increased earnings. Among
the motors, Auburn Auto was undas
pressure, losing points at ene time.
while yellow Taxi reached fresh hi.a,
although improvement was fractional.

COPPER PRICES RAISED
AGAIN AS ORDERS GAIN
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Copper
prices, already at the highest level since
1920, were advanced today one-quarter
of cent pound for the second time
in as many days. The new quotations
were 1884 cents for export and 1872
for domestic shipment.
In face of strong foreign and do
nestle demand, still further price ad-
vances were predicted in the trade. A
new stable level at 10 cents Is expected
to be reached around the middle Of
March.
Copper producers could sell $4,000, 600
to 100000 pounds of copper in the
domestic market. but they are reported
TO have been holding back. Heavy
foreign buying. which amounted to
nearly 100000 pounds the first two
days of this week, is held responsible
for precipitating the present price
advance.
A good deal OF the recent buying is
believed to have been made in an
ticipation of price rises.

u. S. STEEL co. PLANS
TO RETIRE BONDS
Directors Vote Increase in Stock
To Redeem All Funded
Debt.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Common
stock of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration yesterday was ordered increased
to 81 $50 100000 from $753, 1921 900 t$l00
par) by the board of directors subject
TO approval of stockholders at the an
nual meeting on April Is.
Common stockholders will be offered
the right TO ubscribe for additional
shares. The proceeds will be used to
retire the company's funded debt OF
S134 $3.50, 900 in 50-year per cent gold
bonds of 1851 at Sis and $136, 555 900
in 10 to so year per cent bonds
of 1868 at $110.
The retirement Of both bond issues
will result in saving of $29, PAT 1850
annually in fixed charges.
The amount of common stock to be
issued, the ratio to present holdings and
the price. terms and dates of payments
will be fixed later. The unisSued stock
will be used for future corporate pur-
poses, but no issue other than that for
debt retirement and for employees stock
subscriptions is contemplated at this
time, 1t was announced.
The increase in common stock Is the
first since 1927. when in April a 40 per
cent stock dividend was paid, and the
second since organization Of the COM
pany.
President James A. Farrell said pres
ent conditions in the steel industry
pointed to satisfactory operations for
the company for months ahead. Plants
he said. were operating practically at
capacity, and prices were on reason
ably satisfactory basis.
Directors also recommend to stock
holders revision in the corporations
employees stock subscription plan to
give directors the option of issuing
shares to be offered employees or buying
the stock in the open market.
Myron c. Taylor, chairman Of the
corporations finance committee, is
credited with formulating the plan
adopted today for redemption of the
funded debt.
Recent heavy buying of United States
Steel stock has been in anticipation OF
this step. The common today ran ur
to nearly $19l, less 81 under the record
price, but later slipped back to close
under $189 on rumorS action on in
| creasing the common stock would be
deferred. The closing was $3.50 under
Mondays figure.

SAYS NEW FINANCING
CAUSES LOAN INCREASE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Guy M
Walker, distinguished lawyer and econ
omist, Is one of those who believe
the Federal Reserve Board bit of more
than 1t can chew in It's attitude to-
ward the credit market.
The thing that causes brokers' loans
to increase" says Mr.. Walker. is not
speculation. but new financing. The
truth Is that there Is no Legitimate
unsatisfied demand for credit either
In industry or commerce, and the whole
excuse given by the Federal Reserve
Board for its attitude and its action
is a false one"
Going still further, Mr.. Walker saws
that the United States is saving out of
It's income at least $4,000, 900, 900 of
new capital every year.
The fact Is, according to Mr.. Walker,
that there Is an abnormally large
amount Of this new capital that has not
yet found satisfactory long term
investment.
Then he asks: do you suppose that
this money Is going to buy bonds or
seasoned stocks on Az or per cent
basis as long as it can get 9 or 10 per
cent in the call money market on these
very securities?"
Again Mr. Walker says: when the
Pessrve Bank ceases is arbitrary boost
lcg OF Interest rates and lets none 2
drop to 3 or 3i3 per cent. which Is all il
IS really worth, these fumes will turn
from the call money market and seek
permanent in-estment."

GERMANS FEAR EFFECT
OF ADMITTING TROTSKY
Protests Made by Rightists and
United Vaterland Societies at
the Foreign Office.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 27--The question
of admitting Leon Trotsky, exiled Boil
shevist leader, to Germany continued
yesterday to worry certain political or
CARNATIONS. Protests were lodged at the
foreign Office by the Rightists, and also
by the United Vaterland Societies. Both
of these elements said they feared that
Bolshevism would come into the coun-
try with Trotsky.
The spokesman for the Rightists was
Gen. Paul Won Lettow-Vorbeck, who
figured in the fighting of the World
War in the former African colonies of
the German Empire. He raised the
subject in the Reichstag, and asked:
Can anybody believe that this un-
ruly spirit would settle peacefully in
Germany when the country itself is
everywhere in ferment?"
He argued that admission of Trotsky
would create abroad an impression that
Germany was slithering into Bolshe-
vism.

continued TO point upward Wheat
started unchanged to q of and later
underwent a general sag. Oats were

Commission houses were active BUYERS
OF corn much of the time today, and
were giving special attention to reports
indicating the Spring movement OF corn

authoritative summary which received

bushels. that amount was small when
the total crop figure and the relative
