Thus, something like 800 letters
a day are handled by the I. Miller
shoe emporium, a concern which
has owed most Of its rise to thea
trical business. A special department
is engaged TO handle the mail,
though there is no income from 10.
And many are the stories this
department could tell. The other
day I was told Of a girl from the
middle west who. having run against
hard luck in getting a Broadway
engagement, went cut with a bur-
lesque show. She did not want her
mother to know the type OF per-
former she had become and hesi-
tated to give forwarding addresses.
So she suggested that all letters be
addressed TO her at "such-and-
such" address.
Another g.1l called for a letter
which had been waiting for her
more than a year. She. too. had
been DESTROYS that her address be
kept secret, not wishing the home
folks to know thai she was up
against It and had gone out with
a tent show.
IN the office OF The Billboard
the entire tent show world-most
rowing Of performers-has a mall
ing arrangement. The forwarding
department Is larger and buster
than most small town postoffices
and two highly specialized clerk:
are presumed to be able TO track
road folks down in any part OF the
world. One such Job OF tracking
resulted IN the location OF a certain
performer Oh. In Australia and an
other was trsiled - India.

RECOVERY IN STEEL
INDUSTRY is RAPID.
Expansion in Output Pushed
as Consumers Press for
Deliveries.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 3O.-The rapid
recovery of the steel industry has been
a surprise to consumers and producers
alike, Iron Age says in its weekly
review of the iron and steel in
dustry. Still skeptical of the duration
Of the current rate of activity the re-
view adds, number of the larger mills
have hesitated to increase their opera
tions as fast as business seemed to war
rant. Yet bookings have continued to
grow. and with most buyers pressing
for prompt delivery further expansion
in production has been unavoidable.
sat Chicago" says the review, the
upturn in demand has been so rapid
that mill deliveries have not kept pace
with the requirements of buyers. As a
consequence, steel ingot output has
been raised to 80 per cent, compared
with 70 per cent last week. and two
blast furnaces have been lighted at
Gary, foreshadowing a further rise in
open-hearth production.
Producers making automotive steels
have experienced the sharpest gain in
bookings. One large independent max
in" light rolled products has received
specifications in the past fortnight at
the rate of 140 per cent of capacity
and is now operating its plants at 100
per cent The tonnage entered last
week by another leading independent
with more diversified output was
nearly equal to capacity and its pro-
duction this week has been raised to
80 per cent
"The Steel Corporation rate has
risen to rs per cent. and the average
for all producers is fully that high. A
year ago the rate for the industry
ranged from IS to go per cent"
Demand for pig iron is also grow
ing. notwithstanding the extreme cau-
ton of buyers Deliveries to automotive
foundries in Michigan are 90 per cent
of those in January. 1929 Shipments
to all classes of meters by Chicago
furnaces have run 80 per cent higher
than in December. Pressure for basic
in the valleys has reached the point
where the blowing in of a merchant
furnace is being considered.
Price weakness has not disappeared,
but reductions are in diminishing num-
Der, suggesting that stability may be
approaching. Mills are unwilling TO
take second quarter contracts at present
figures and as their bookings increase,
speak more confidently of the posi-
bility of advancing the market"
The Iron Age composite price for
finished steel dropped from 2.312 cents
q pound last week to 2.305 cents, the
lowest in more than two years. The
pig iron composite remains at $1e.17 a
gross ton.
A sharp rise in structural steel awards
is reported, the total for the week be-
ing more than $4,000 tons. as compared
with $4,000 tons in the previous week
and $1,000 tons in the week before. New
projects out for bids amounted to "A
900 tons.
Of the awards, about $4,000 tons de-
veloped In New York City, while 16,-
900 tons are for the Emery Estate Build
ings in Cincinnati.

GAIN IN COPPER ORDERS
EXPECTED NEXT MONTH
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3O.--Activity in
the non-ferrous metal market was some
what less in the past week than in the
period Immediately preceding, reports
Engineering and Mining Journal metal
and mineral markets. Zinc and tin
prices were reported as having advanced
slightly, this strength causing sales to
let up perceptibly.
"a fair domestic business in copper
was booked during the week at UNI
changed prices and practically every ton
was for prompt shipment" the Journal
says. Perhaps never before in the his
tory OF the copper market have sellers
had so few forwarders on their books.
Virtually nothing has been sold for Feb
ruary. Consumers, however, report that
their business is gradually increasing
and many admit that they will be COM
PEELED to buy copper next month to take
care OF orders now on hand.
Evidence accumulates that the cur
tailment made at the mines this month
has been radical and general. With the
lag between mine and refinery produce
ton, further increases in stocks cannot
be prevented. However, the copper stocks
are in strong hands and it seems likely
that domestic shipments on Something
approaching the old scale can be ex-
pected soon. Foreign sales this month
nave been the best since last September.

reason of the merchantization Of farms
than by reduction of acreage. This is
again pertinent in the cotton industry
It is estimated conservatively that the
picking Of the 1929 crop cost producers
5000, 000, 900, of which approximately
three-quarters went to hired labor. The
necessity of providing cash to meet
these tremendous pay rolls was one of
the causes which forced the farmer to
sell his cotton as soon as 1t was pro-
duced instead of waiting until it could
be marketed more advantageouSly.
When Eli Whitney invented the cot
ton gin he revolutionized the cotton in
dustry, and similar revolution may be
in prospect through the development of
the mechanical pickers now being in
stalled on many plantations. Mechan-
ically picked cotton is said to be sin far
better condition for ginning and makes
higher grade than the hand-picked
staple.
1t appears that more up-to-date PLAN
tationS will depend extensively on me-
chanical assistance in producing future
crops. The cost Of cotton is also being
cut by improvements in ginning and
COMPRISING.
Similar savings are anticipated in
other agricultural lines. A decrease in
production costs will mean more farm
profits. Many farmers are. securing
these decreases through the purchase
Of improved machinery. There is no
question but that the combined har-
vester-thraSher has marked a turning
point in Western and Midwestern grain
production. Tractors also have become
big factor. This has resulted in the
sharp reduction in farm labor and
expense.
The trend, according to the> manu-
facturers of agricultural implements, is
unmistakable. They declare that the
position of most farmers has improved
to the point where they can afford to
buy machinery.

Preferred Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Responsiveness.


High-grade preferred stocks are re-
sporsive In market price to the same
influences that affect investment bonds.
This Is true in direct proportion to the
rating of the preferred stock It Is not
true of speculative preferred stocks
which move with speculative common
stocks. 1t is only partially true of Sec
ond-grade preferred stocks, but 1t is al
ways true Of prime. preferred stocks
with them.
If money rates are low and commod-
ity prices are declining investment
bonds rise and high-grade preferred
stocks rise also. Contrarywise, II money
is high and commodity prices are ad-
vancing, bonds sell of and take high
grade preferred stocks along. The re-
suit is that preferred stock of un-
questioned rating such as United States
Steel, sells on yield basis comparable
to that of the best bonds. Such pre-
ferred stocks stand up in a market COL
lapse like that of last Autumn just as
we'll as high-grade bonds. Both classes
of securities give ground somewhat I'M
der such circumstances because ha-
raised spectators must secure funds
and the easiest way is to sacrifice Gov
eminent bonds and gilt-edged preferred
stocks. but they recover after the panic
more rapidly than any other class.
Attractive Investments.
For these reasons the best Of preferred
stocks are attractive investments now.
The post-panic recovery is well under
way, but confidence has not been re-
stored, and new funds are seeking only
the most conservative obligations. Fully
as important is the declining trend of
commodity prices. Dividends on pref
erred stocks, like coupons on investment
bonds, are more valuable when they will
buy more goods, and that is the condi-
ton that obtains today.
