AWARDS
HIGHER

NEW YORK. June Al
though structural steel awards of
the past week, as compiled by.
the Iron Age, totaled only a.,
900 tons, the volume of new work
that came into the market, at
more than 10000 tons, was by
far the largest for any week this
year and exceeded the largest
weekly total Of 1929 by more than
10000 tons.
The bulk Of the projected work
is in New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia. In New York, in.
quiries include $4,000 tons for the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.

NEW YORK, June IL. - With
seasonal reaction increasingly evil
dent and affecting most branches
Of trade, activity in structural
work and line pipe is conspicuous
as the principal sustaining influ-
ence in the steel market, Iron Age
will report tomorrow. !
New inquiries for structural prof.
ects, at 10000 tons, are the
largest for any week this year
and exceed by 10000 tons the
highest weekly total in 1929. AL
though lettings. at $4,000 tons.
were only of fair proportions, the
outlook is for a steady rise in
the volume Of awards.
New York Trend
In New York, where much Of
the large construction work Of
the country is concentrated, the
upward trend in structural con-
tracts began last month. Total
lettings in the Metropolitan dis
trict in May were $1,000 tons,
compared with $4,000 tons in
April and $4,000 tons in March.
Pipe line business recently
placed, estimated as approaching
1000, 900 tons, is taxing the capa-
city Of, the country. Producers
Of lapweld and seamless pipe in
eight-inch and larger diameterS
are fully committed for four
months. The Milwaukee fabrica-
tor of electrically welded pipe is
also heavily booked and is running
three shifts a day.
Chicago plate mills are being
pressed to supply the steel re-
quirementS for the electric prod.
uct and are now insured Of full
operations through June and
July. The large backlogs of Chi
cago plate producers were aug
mented last week by orders for
more than $4,000 tons. In addi-
ton, q Sizeable tonnage of plates
was placed with mills east of the
Chicago district.
Despite improvement in these
two outlets for tonnage, the trend
Of steel ingot production is still
downward. The general average
for the country at large is SO per
cent, compared with ~ per cent
a week ago. The decline Of 1884,
993 tons in the untitled orders of
the United States Steel Corpora
tion in May and the seasonal
Slackening in most steel consum-
ing lines point to still further re-
cesSion in output.
Pickup Expected
The only question on which
there Is disagreement is how
much further the decline will go
and how long it will last. Lead
ers of the industry whose fore
casts have proved dependable in
the past predict that a gradual
expansion in business will make
its appearance within 30 or so
days and that fall production
will range from IS to 30 per
cent.

BUSINESS GOOD
IS BELIEF

j. M. Rector, treasurer Of the
Chesapeake Beach RailWay Com
pany, is Of the opinion that the
vastly increased freight business
of that company reflects better
business conditions in Southern
Maryland.
During the quarter just ended
the tonnage handled by the COM
pany was 200 per cent greater
than in the corresponding quar-
ter Of last year, the increase for
March having been particularly
large, 351 per cent.
Officials of the company find
that increased building activity
in the territory served by the
company is partly responsible for
the increased business. However,
organization Of shipping business
in that territory so that round
about transit is being cut down
has also figured prominently.
Capt. John H. Hughes, general
agent Of the company, has been
in that post only about a year
but he has been in close con-
tact with shippers, for the pur-
pose Of reducing transportation
rates and increasing speed of
shipments through new routing

Two Organizations Report
Higher Income; One De-
CIares z Per Cent Dividend
By JOHN E. NEvIN, Jr.

Despite pesSimistic reports from
other sections of the country, de-
velopments here yesterday and
today indicate that certain
branches Of business in Washing
ton are enjoying growing pros
perity.
The report Of the Acacia Mu-
tual Life Association, for the
months Of May, made public to-
day, reveals that the volume Of
new business acquired by the
organization is much larger than
anticipated and that it sets new
records.
During May last, new business
totaled $5,834.385, as compamed
with $5,649,068 for the same
month Of last year.
The report also shows the re-
turn made by the company for
last month will exceed the figures
reported during April by more
than $5O0,O00. Last April had
been designated by officials OF
the company as a month during
which a special drive was to be
conducted in order to eStar'iS
notable records. The newly
created record for the following
month was nearly as surprising
to officials Of the firm as 1t was
to others.
Officials Of the company de-
clare their firms work is an
example of the fact that there
is business available in Wash
ington If one is willing to put
forth sufficient efforts.
Another evidence Of growing
business in certain fields was the
declaring Of a z per cent dividend
on the outstanding preferred
stock of the National Mortgage
and Investment Company at a
directors meeting yesterday. This
is the first dividend declared by
the company since July 1927,
and, according to those connected
with the firm, an example Of a
business fighting in the face Of
bad markets and other setbacks.
When the real estate business
slumped during 1929 it became
necessary for the firm to take in
certain properties which were held
under mortgages. This "froze" the
assets of the company to such an
extent that they became non-pro-
ductive.
James P. Schick, president Of
the company is given a great deal
of the credit for relieving the or
ganization from the State in
which it found itself. Mr.. Schick
organized a real estate depart
ment which handled the proper
ties owned, selling those that were
necessary and handling the rents
and revenues from the rest of the
real estate. A general improve
ment in the mortgages held and
the properties was noted.
The dividend is payable on
July /. Books Of the company
will be closed for several days be-
fore the dividend is declared.
The Washington times., 1930-06-12


for May again emphasize the
fact that this years record looks
unfavorable chiefly because Of
comparison with 1929.
The daily rate of output, 49,
066 tons, was "a per cent lower
than the average for May, 1929.
Production in the first five
months, 20,352, $50 tons, was
nearly Is per cent smaller than
in 1929, but except for that year.
1923 and 1925, was the largest
ever reported for such a period.
Scrap Off in West
Heavy melting steel scrap has
held its advance at Pittsburgh,
but has declined IS cents a ton
at Chicago. Old material mar
ketS in most centers are dull and
without trend.
Finished steel prices are still
subject to concession, but have
been free from additional open
breaks except for a decline of So
to So ton on long terms and
a reduction in the East of 81 a
ton on plates.
Both of the Iron Age composite
prices are unaltered. Pig iron, at
$17.50, is $1.13 a gross ton lower
than a year ago. Finished steel,
at 2.214c per h., is $3.96 a net
ton below the level of IL months
ago.

of the sale of $4,000. 900 6 per

syndicate Of New York and Chi

Of lubricating oils.
The Ell Dorado refinery proper
will also come in for many i'm

All mines have declared a IS per

wage cuts, no check weighmen, no

scale is lower than in 1917.
Lack of a check weighman, to
watch the company weighman,
means that the miners, paid by the
ton, get swindled outrageously. Lack
of pay for "dead work" means that
they have to put in much work free,

in connection with the March 6 I'M

The workers who had been bru-
