GOOD BUSINESS SIGNS|
SEEN BY CITY BANK

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 10.-The jan
uary 1880 issue of the Monthly Let
ter of the National City Bank of New
York expresses optimism over the pros
poets for American business in the
new year. 1t declares that apprehensions
proceeding from the Stock Market de-
cline are probably exaggerated, the
country's resources and productive ca
pacity having been affected scarcely at
all. THE real value of stocks is what
the properties can earn from year to
year, which certainly has undergone no
such changes either up or down" as
the Stock Market fluctuations have in
dicated.
The review offers the opinion that
"the present situation is not to be
judged by that of 1920-21. when all
commodity prices were involved, every
merchant and manufacturer was taking
heavy losses, and the relations between
agriculture and all other industries
were violently disrupted"
It Is stated as a good sign that the
machinery and heavy equipment in
dustries are busy practically to capaci-
ty and carrying good order books into
the new year. This includes machine
tool manufacturers, agricultural imple-
ments and electrical equipment.
1T is probably not too much to say"
continues the review, that the outlook
for large construction work of the ma
ture of municipal, highway, railroad and
industrial improvements never was bet
ter, and the subsistence OF speculation
has the very important effect of cheap
ening capital for these purposes. Capt.
tai and credit had been steadily be-
coming dearer over the last two years,
not only in our own country, but
throughout the world, and the Stock
Market had been the dominating in
fiuence We are of the opinion that in
more ways than can be traced the re-
lease of several billions of credit from
employment in that quarter, and the
resulting decline of interest rates for
all purposes, will be beneficial to gen.
eral business, and that the effects will
be cumulative as they spread"
Satisfaction is found in the fact that
exports of machinery in the past year
exceeded 5000 900, 900, an increase of
20 per cent over the figures for 1928
and affording evidence of the country's
ability to compete in all kinds OF pro-
duction.
Dividend declarations of corporations
in IL months of 1929 aggregated So
100000 against $3,032 100000 in
1928 All leading corporations. show
large increase in number OF share
holders for the dividend payments OF
January l over the number on their
books on October 1, indicating that the
fall of stocks had resulted in distribu-
ton rather than concentration.

CURB STOCKS GAIN
in Strong MARKET
Utilities, Oils and lndustriaIs
Featured in Upward
Trend.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-After
opening strong, stocks on the curb be-
came more active and moved higher
today under the leadership of utilities,
oils and miscellaneous group of in
dustrials and trading corporations.
Although popular utilities like Elec-
trio Bond and Share, American Super
power and American Foreign Power
were in demand they were compelled
to share the limelight with some new
issues. Commonwealth and Southern
new preferred made its bow on the
curb at the beginning of the second
hour, and some securities, like Eastern
States Power B, became active.
Commonwealth and Southern preferred
opened at 961s after closing in the pre-
vious session on the produce exchange
at 961a. Later the stock pointed higher,
but Commonwealth Power preferred,
Southeastern Power e. Light preferred
and Penn Ohio Edison preferred, all of
which are being exchanged into Com
monwealth Southern preferred, did not
regain the levels attained before the
exchange was announced.
Some holders of the outstanding pre-
ferred stocks being exchanged for COM
monwealth and Southern preferred have
been selling their holdings rather than
take a new security for their present
seasoned issues.
Brazilian Traction was again active
here as well as in London on prospects
of the receipt of / per cent stock divi-
dends.
Eastern States Power B shares were
whirled on prospects Of an initial divi-
dend, which was announced after mid
day as 25 cents. Traders understand
several public utility non-dividend pay
ing stocks will be put on regular dis
bursement basis before the month ends.
Indian Territory Illuminating Oil was
the outstanding feature of the miscel-
laneous oils, rising more than 2 points
during the forenoon. Standard Oil of
Indiana was active in the Standard Oil
group.
Artificial silk shares came into prom
inence early as Tubize leaped more than
IS points within the first five sales.
Celanese participating preferred adj
vanced more than 3 points. Gorham,
Inc, was up points. Both the common
and preferred of General Realty for
time moved higher.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
GAINS DURING WEEK
Rebound From Depression of Year
End Is Seen in Trade
Figures.

CpcCldl OlSpdLCu 10 4ue 6LAIs
CLEVELAND, January 10-Specifica-
lions for finished steel and releases
against pig iron contracts have ex-
panded materially in the past week, says
Iron Trade Review, Cleveland. Demand
for practically all products has been
heavier than in December, although
considerably below the level of last
January.
This betterment is appraised by most
producers as rebound from the repreS-
sion of buying over the year end. Pro-
ducers generally continue confident of
gradual improvement over the first half
year, but recognize several conditions
precedent to it.
For one thing, consumers still appear
determined to avoid commitments, ex-
cept for actual spot requirements, until
the price situation is clarified, and by
common consent this Qualification ap-
proaches. The expectation of consumers
that prices would go no higher and
might go lower may be justified.
Shading Of tin plate has been formally
recognized by reduction of 10 cents a
base box to $5.25, Pittsburgh. Auto
body sheets are of So per ton, to 3.90c,
Pittsburgh, while blue annealed plates
and sheets have developed downward
range Of So. Strip steel and wire have
been shaded 81 to 81 per ton.
Heavy finished steel prices at Pitts
burgh, like pig iron in many districts.
have yet to withstand the impact of
tonnage requirements. There are re-
ports that valley pig iron prices have
been shaded and that s34 for sheet bars
Is not strong. Iron and steel scrap,
having experienced several months Of
tobogganing, is an exception to general
price SoftneSs.
The railroads have started 1880 deter
mined to hold their regained title of
premier consumer of finished steel.
Including the enlarged Chesapeake &
Ohio-Pere Marquette Hooking Valley
program Of IL ,375 freight cars, 100 loco
motives and SIS tenders, about 10000
freight cars are on active inquiry. Sea-
board Air Line closes January IL on
1000 cars. Revised figures place 1929
freight car awards at 1861
The Burlington, which has just dis
tributed 500 cars and 67,050 tons of
rails to Western makers, may buy 1000
more cars. The Nickel Plate is award
ing 29,S60 tons of rails. Track fasten-
ing orders at Chicago have totaled
$4,000 tons in the past week, with twice
that tonnage on inquiry. Many car
riers are placing their first quarter
finished steel requirements.
Automotive demand for iron and steel.
while somewhat improved over Deem
Der, still reflects a hesitancy, which will
not pass until the verdict of the shows
on new models is in Farm implement
manufacturers are more generous buyers
at Chicago, which has experienced a
greater revival of demand than any
other district. Building continues sea-
sonally slack and prospective pipe line
work has not yet matured.

MORE CHEERFUL VIEWS
EXIST ON BUSINESS

Hemphill, Noyes & Co., with local
offices, in the latest issue of its pub
LEGATION, the Situation, states: 1.-THE
business situation is dominated by
year-end influences Quietness pre-
walls and many plants are shut down
for the usual year-end inventory check
up. A handto-mouth buying policy is
being followed by most consumers,
pending a more definite idea of condi-
tions, generally, after the New Year.
However, slightly more cheerful
feeling exists, due to recent results of
Christmas trade, which, in dollar vol
ume, was about equal to 1928 and was
much better than was generally be-
lieved possible after the October-No-
vember stock market collapse. Reports
from the various Federal Reserve dis
tricts express optimism in the prospects
for 1880 and indicate that Christmas
business was about normal in most dis
tricts.'

GENERAL CONDITIONS

says:
fundamental conditions seem sound,
money conditions are normal, stocks
are selling at reasonable levels and in
many cases below what would seem to
be their real values. based on past and
prospective earnings; labor is efficient
and free from disturbances, commodity
prices are not unusually high, invento-
ries are not overexpanded and corpora
