NEW YORK, January 28.A-In the

Grtf1ths, chairman Of the Central Alloy
Steel Corporation, head of the research
division Of the Republic Steel Corpora
ton, says:
Fifty per cent of the steel used in
automobiles is alloy and the average
weight per car has been reduced to less
than 80 per cent of what 1t was"
The use of steel has expanded rapidly
since the development of steel alloy,
for 1t has increased fiexibility and en-
durance. 1t has solved the problem of
rust through stainless steel" The use
Of rust-resisting alloy for freight cars
has reduced the weight of each car by
one ton. A new alloy process known as
''nitriding" has produced the hardest
known metal surface.
1T has been found that every time
the price of a special steel is reduced /
cent pound the market for it is
widened by 10 per cent" says this in
ternational authority on alloy steel.
The steel industry, already huge, is
only in. its infancy.
An industry that has q MONOPOLY
upon one form of service or another Is
apt to become stale. A new invention
often wakes it up and forces it to ex-
tend its research and to speed I'D its
tagging interest. Fine tonic for most
monopolieS
Not long ago leading member of the
artincial ice industry, in speaking of the
effect that mechanical refrigerators
have had upon the industry, said that
1T had awakened the industry as to its
possibilities and caused general clean
up In the natural Ice industry by cut
ting out waste and rendering better
SnrVfrA Roth uTsOI1rNc y,rOct1nwaI51
The gas industry suffered a severe
blow when electricity became general
Tor lighting purposes. Up to then,
lighting had been almost its sole means
Of support" but the cutting of of this
market made the industry realize that
1t would have to find other markets or
quit the field. So it turned to the field
Of cooking
Realizing the advantages gas had
over other forms of heating energy, the
industry pushed its sale for use in
househeating and In industrial processes.
The extent to which 1t has been sue
cessful may be readily seen from its
sales for 1929. which were greater by
81 per cent than they were in 1928.
While the domestic sales, chiefly cook
ing, increased by only A per cent,
sales for house heating purposes In
creased SIT per cent and for Industrial
purposes lib per cent.
Although an industry may suffer
severely from substitute entering into
its field, If it Is successful in clearing
out the dead wood, reducing waste and
increasing research, the new competi-
ton often proves to be blessing in
disguise.

sources and raw materials, become

NEW YORK, January 28.-Industrials
crowded utilities and oils for leadership
In today's dull but fairly firm curb
trading. Sales up to noon were 310,60C
shares, or nearly $4,000 shares less than
IN the same period yesterday.
American Superpower. Associated
Gas & Electric, Brazilian Traction
Electric Bond & Share and Middle West
Utilities led the power and light issues
Opening with a block of 1000 shares
Cities Service easily outdistanced the
oils. London cables telling of the COM
pletion of the Standard Oil Export
Anglo American Oil Co. limited merger,
following deposit of more than rs per
cent of the latter's shares, were ex-
pected, and there was no reaction.
Steels shared the speculative spot
light with farm implement issues in
the industrial list. Republic Iron &
Steel Co., new common stock featured
early trading. These shares, and new
preferred, which also is being admitted
to unlisted trading privileges, are being
exchanged for securities of the present
Republic Iron g. Steel, Central Alloys
Steel, Bonner Steel and the Bourne
Fuller Co. Opening at 1924 Republic
Iron new common within an hour rose
to 78, before reacting around midday.
Deere &c Co. advanced points be-
fore encountering profit taking, but
Cleveland Tractor, frequently mentioned
IN merger rumorS, opened down ia
points. Artificial silk shares moved IN
opposite directions, Celanese preferred
opening up ia points at 8434, as Tubize
appeared down fractionally at 1925,
then dropping quickly to 159.
Noranda Mines featured the mining
list both in fluctuation and frequent APP
pearanceS on the tape, but Falcon Lead,
one OF the few penny stocks remaining
on the Curb, piled up the greatest num-
Der of shares until noon, as a block of
10000 came out at Il. Newmont, Hud-
son Bay and United Verde at times
pointed higher. Bunker Hill Sullivan,
which . few weeks ago broke 28i2
points on the slump in silver, appeared
at 80, or up points.
Lone Star Gas initiated the move
ment in natural gas stocks, such issues
as the usually popular United Gas and
Dixie Gas &c Utilities rapidly follow
ing. Pipe lines. too, were inclined to
climb as favorable earning reports were
made public.
Blaw Knox responded to the lift in
annual dividend payments from 81 to
$50 share. Walgreen moved at a
faster rate than most chain stocks as
1t advanced ia points before meeting
profit taking. Thermoid, one of the
units of the automobile accessory in

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, January % (R.-Cot-
ton opened steady today at a decline of
point to an advance of points. There
was a little selling under the relatively
easy showing of Liverpool and the de-
cline in Bombay but the offerings were
quite readily absorbed by trade buying
or covering and the initial irregularity
was followed by fairly steady market.
May, after selling of to 1928, rallied
/ to 1882 and the general list was about
net unchanged to points higher at the
end Of the first half hour. Business was
only moderately active, but there was
little more trade buying in evidence
and probably covering on an idea that
the demand would improve as prices
approached q parity with farm loan
values In the South.
The weekly trade report of the New
York Cotton Exchange estimating
worlds consumption of American lint
cotton at 1,042 900 bales for December,
against 1,188, 900 last year came in for
some bearish comment and may have
been a factor on some Of the earlier
selling.

USES OF STEEL INCREASED
BY INVENTION OF ALLOYS
Corporation Chairman Cites Benefit to
Industry Through Gain In Demand
for Various New Products.

now by importing raw materials, de-
veloping them into manufactured prod
ucts and sending them out to all parts
of the world.
The porcelain industry is an example.
Germany has 800 factories, employing
10000 workers, and has been developed
! largely in Saxony, Bavaria and Silesia,
specializing in household decoratives
and electro-porcelain.
The raw materials come from three
different countries-china clay is OBJ
tanned from CZechoslovakia, feldspar
| from Scandinavia and the quartz from
Germany itself.
But the thrifty Germans have ham
mered it into one of their most prosper
GUS industries.
When the Gear of Russia was killed
he had large sums of money deposited
in various banks throughout the world
in Berlin, Paris, London and New
York. The Gar, well advised in busi-
ness, did not put all his money into one
basket
Frank Gardner, Philadelphia-born
mining engineer, whose career ante
dates even that of John Hays Ham,
mond in uncovering the great mining
treasures of the world, was a close
friend of the Gar. He was trusted by
the family.
This money, still on deposit, is watt
ing for its legal claimants. This Ameri-
can engineer, friend of the family,
has been given power of attorney to
secure the money. But who can give
legal proof Of the Cars death?
Two sisters of the Gar still are liv-
ing. One, Grand Duchess Xenia, lives
at Windsor Palace, near London She
is the wife of the Grand Duke Alex
ander.
The other sister is Grand Duchess
Olga, who married a Russian cavalry
officer. and who lives at Copenhagen,
the home of the dowager empress.
Frank Gardner has had many hard
and difficult tasks to solve in his long
and eventful life. But none more difi-
cult than this one.
A. r. Erskine, president of the Stude-
baker Corporation, believes that the
automobile industry has been so COM
pletely ntegrated into the economic So
cial life of the Nation that production
from now on will sustain very definite
mathematical relation to the growth of
population, wealth and income of the
country and to the volume of CONNER
cial and industrial activity throughout
the world
He believes that the average annual
output of 100000 cars in the United
States will be an established fact in
the next 10 years.
To take care of the annual replace
mentS, 3,750,000 will have to be pro-
duced. In 1923 replacement sales
reached 2,450.000 while annual exports
now reach 10000.
When the foreign business of Ameri-
can car manufacturers reaches 40 per
cent of the output, and Mr.. Erskine be-
heves that it will eventually, then the
problem of the American car manufac-
turerS will be a relatively simple one.
