YOU WILL BE GLAD TO SEE
 "OLD IRONSIDES"

The famous frigate "Cpnstjtu- tion," popularly known as "Old Ironsides" after the poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, is com ing to the Coliseum this week in a Paramount picture which no one can afford to miss. With q cast of stars including Wallace Beery, Esther Ralston, George Bancroft, Johnny Walker, Chas. arrel and supporting cast of two thousand people in scenes which set forth the record of this most famous battleship in the history of the American navy, including picturesque bat ties at sea in the days when this vessel was Americas pride. Built and launched at Boston during the stirring days of the War of the Revolution, this fla nous frigate, carrying f1fty-two guns, was unsurpassed in her day. Every schoolboy can tell you of her notable feats, espe cially of the famous battle be tween the Constitution and the Guerriere. This beloved relic has been preserved to our own time for it's historical signifi- canoe, having been rebuilt in 1883 and again in 1877 and only recently was rebuilt and recon ditioned from stem to stern from funds raised by the school children turnout the land. Next to the Liberty Bell, perhaps more sentiment attaches to this old ship than to any other relic preserved from Colonial times Altho it is a silent version, it is a picture everyone will wish to see. '. '. A number of other big pie lures are due to appear on the Coliseum's bills shortly includ- ing "Cocoanuts," The Cock eyed World" Sailor Holiday also "The Letter" which heads the program this coming Sun- day and Monday.

Preferred Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC.

tThis is the twelfth Of a series of
sqds ss Benefit os his
lyzes the technical PROVISIONS OF the
sS Sck corporstions behind the securities
The chief purpose is to explain the
Process : ssTsss Da ssssuTi s..rs
tions)
In the preferred stock Of the West
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.
we have a security differing in one i'm
portant detail from any Of those hither-
to discussed in this series. That is the
participating feature that the preferred
stock enjoys. Westinghouse Electric
common stock. It Is entitled to z per
cent cumulative dividends in preference
to the common, that is $3.50 a share
annually. After the common has also
received $3.50 share, Z per cent on
the $50 par value, the preferred and
common share and share alike In any
further disbursements.
This is the provision which gives the
preferred its unusual value compared
with other preferred stocks. A number
Of corporations have similar clauses IN
stocks, but Westinghouse Electric can
be taken as an example Of all this class
because Of the prominence Of the cor
poration. Now the present dividend
rate on both the preferred and the COM
mon is SIS share, or $3.50 above the
$3.50 minimum. The result is that in
the market the preferred and common
stocks Of the corporation sell approxi-
mately at the same price. Recently
this price was around $3.50 share,
which would mean a return on the in
vestment in either preferred or common
of 1888 per cent, which is lower than to
be obtained from other preferreds of
equal or higher rank as investments,
but which do not have a participating
feature.
AS long as the net income of the
company is sufficient to pay $3.50 a
year on both classes Of stock the two
will sell at about the same figure. In
other words the owner of the preferred
has the same equity in the earnings as
the holder Of the common. He has the
additional advantage in that his claim
to at least $3.50 annually comes ahead
of that Of the common. Also the pre-
ferred stock has the same voting power
as the common and when rights to sub
scribe to new shares have been awarded
both preferred and common have re-
ceived them.
In the last 10 years this privilege has
added largely to the income Of the pre-
ferred stakeholder. There is no pro-
fLSIou loI gaining ILlS PREFERRED, WHICH,
is free to appreciate in market value as
it would not be if 1t were callable. There
has been some discussion, however, of
submitting some plan to the stock
holders for retiring the preferred, but
whatever that plan might be it would
have to be satisfactory to the holders Of
the senior shares. They could not be
forced to give up their investment.
From the standpoint OF the common
stock it would be advantageous to get
rid Of the preferred. Meanwhile that
issue has nuisance as well as an In
vestment value.

RECESSION IN STEEL
DEMAND is FORECAST
Trade Expected to Feel Effects
Of Latest Decline in
Stocks.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PITTSBURGH, October IA month
and more ago sellers Of steel were find-
ing a much better sentiment among
appraisal of their future.
The stock market had been giving, a
fair account of itself, and sellers hoped
that this was not the cause of the Inn
proved sentiment, but they feared 1t
was. Those fears were more or less
confirmed recently, and after what the
stock market has been doing this week
poorer steel situation Is to be ex-
pected next week.
Steel men consider It q pity that
business men should still be disposed
to take their cue from the stock mar
ket when last year the market not only
a trade recession that had already be-
gun. There are many who are disposed
to deny that the stock market last
October was discounting what has been
occurring In trade this year and who
maintain rather that the stock market
Is In no small way responsible for this
years business troubles.
There are q few In the steel trade,
perhaps optimistic by nature, who feel
that on account Of all sentiment being
so depressed at present the trade re-
cession has gone further than funda-
mental conditions warrant, so that per-
force in the course of time, say three
months, there will be an upward turn
in business.
The official report of steel ingot pro-
duction in September must have been a
great disappointment to those who had
been making weekly estimates Of steel
production, indicating an increase over
August, for the report shows 7.3 per
cent decrease instead, to q rate slightly
below the July rate. It could not have
been much disappointment to the ma
jority Of steel producers, who Of course
knew what their mills were turning out

STOCKS WITHSTAND.
RENEWED SELL|NG|
Profit Taking and Closing of
Accounts Over Holiday
Feature Trading.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE stock
market maintained its equilibrium today
and easily absorbed the expected back
wash Of selling.
Such q violent rebound as marked
the selling climax yesterday is nor
mally followed by a reeoil, but the
days losses OF to points, with a
few wider, still left some of the pre-
vious sessions net gains.
AFTER opening firm, the market slid
when the hangover liquidation became
heavy, making the days total sales
more than 1,7S0,000, shares.
The fact that the market will be
closed Monday, Columbus Day, prob
ably swelled the volume of week end
selling. Traders who bought around
yesterdays low levels were active profit
takers. Signs Of distress selling, how
ever, ~'-re not conspicous.
United States Steel, after rising to
Isl, closed at 1481s, off / point net,
although points above yesterdays low.
Shares losing to 4 points included
General Electric, American Telephone,
Sears, Roebuck, Consolidated Gas, Du-
Pont and American and Foreign Power.
Westinghouse, New York Central,
American Water Works and Loews lost
about S, and Eastman, Foster Wheeler
and Case, 6. Allied Chemical, a wide
mover of late, closed off 9R.
The decline. was regarded in Wall
Street as a normal reaction from the
swift rebound which marked a climax
in the selling movement of the past
month, and the fact that large-scale
necessitous liquidation appeared to have
been accomplished brought relief to
strained nerves.
Bankers stated that yesterdays climax
had been met without organized action
on their part, which was regarded in
brokerage circles as conclusive evidence
OF a much more stable situation than
pessinlists had thought existed.
The week end business and trade
reports indicated wide cross currents.
but on the whole were reassuring.
