The steel price advance came
through according to- dame
rumor's schedule. It's significance
cannot be minimized, especially
ct q time when operations for
the industry as q whole are de-
cIining, and is definitely an ex-
preston Of confidence by the
steel leaders in the outlook. Nor
must its effect on profits be over
looked, since earnings margins
have been slim for some time.
From broader point Of view,
higher steel prices strengthens
the hope Of definite stabiliSa1ion
in commodity prices, which must
precede any sustained revival IN
business. The copper industry
has done this, and the recent
firming In red metal prices indi-
Gates that it should be able to
come through. Sugar seems next
Ia line, with rubber action just
around the corner. All in all,
the basis for the recovery Is be-
ing laid slowly but surely.
It also is interesting to note
that higher steel prices marked
the turning point In the 1921 de;
preston. Precedent would seem
to hold Just as good today, for
it must not be forgotten that we
have q year and half Of depreS-
sion behind. So that the time
for ultra,b a,bearishness seems past.
Bond Weakness
Weakness in bond prices is a
disturbing factor, traditionally a
good bond market precedeS any
sustained advance in stock prices,
Selling of bonds is due to many
factors, liquidation by interior
banks due to recent failures, sell
ing by other banks to increase
their cash resources and by life
insurance companies, am told,
due to increasing loans on in,
Gurance policies. From this point
at view lower bond prices would
work into the picture Of the final
phase Of the depression, marking
the elimination Of liquidation Of
securities. Yet. it Is difficult ia
see how stocks can get anywhere
until bonds show some real back
bone.
