DESPITE Present Conditions

Their Fixed Charges This

NEW YORK, November 28-Little
has tranSpired to account for the con-
tinued weakness in railway securities,
with many issues registering new rec
ord lows. More than 500 600, 900 900 is
invested in the Nations transportation
lines, with railway bonds constituting,
by reason of their legality, the majcr
portion of the invested capital Of
savings banks, insurance companies
and trustees
Holders of railway bonds who have
been scared into selling, irrespective
of quotations, might to advantage
bear in mind that, despite the unsatiS-
factory economic conditions many
system will cover its fixed charges
this year and show appreciate bal
ances available for junior securities.
They might also remember that, by
reason CT a recently reached agreement,
carriers which will not earn the full
service on their funded Indebtedness
will secure aid from the stronger SyS-
tens.
In this way, one need not look for
any interruption In the payment OF In
'terest on the greater p3rtion CT rail-
way bonds 1t appears that during the
present difficult period an arrangement
might be made similar to that in force
in France, by which the Government
comes TO the aid of carrier If funds
in the railway pool are not sufncient.
May Cover Fixed Charges.
Despite the sbsurdly low levels at
which some Of me Pittsburgh & West
Virginia Railway bonds are quoted, the
road is expected to cover its fixed
charges this year with a small margin
to spare. according to F. E. Tappin,
president. AS a result of the unseason-
ably warm weather in November. which
has curtailed the movement Of coal,
this months results will be disappoint-
ing. Mr. Tappin continues The low
rate of steel opel alton has also con-
tributed considerably to the shrinkage
Of earnings.
The issues of the Missouri-Kansas-
Texas System are in similar position.
Quotations are indicative of impending
default. However, net income for the
first 10 months Of this year are appre-
ciably in excess of all expenses, taxes
and fixed charges, including adjust
ment of bond interest. The amount

and Engineering Chemistry, journal OF

nearly to equalize between capital and
labor the benefits arising from tech

In an effort to get upon a new

consider the wisdom of decreasing, or
even eliminating, the speculative fea-
ture inherent in common stocks and
reducing all to the sober level OF bonds
with fixed earning capacity.

spite the extreme weakness in the stock
market. which caused an early loss OF
about points in cotton prices, the
market resisted pressure today, and I'M
der demand for December moved up
10 points from the low and closed un-
changed to points higher than Fri
day.
Virtual absence of hedging and more
price fixing by mills at the decline the
past two days produced very steady
undertone. Spots were advanced 3
points to $40.

terially below dividend requirements,
which leads to the belief that payment
might possibly be deferred at the next
dividend meeting, scheduled for the
middle of December.
Copper Situation.
Strength in coppers in the face of
rather pronounced weakness in all di-
visions Of the securities, commodities
and foreign exchange markets, is due to
the agreement which is reported to
have been reached by leading producers
to curtail output. Although the exact
details OF the plan have not been made
public, the Belgians, who have been
opposed to an arrangement, announced
that they have finally decided to ac-
cept proposals, with regard to curtail-
ment OF output, which were made to
them IN New York and to which other
producers have already agreed.
Debt Compromise Seen.

Tin Market,
A somewhat better feeling is notice

commodities and most metals scored

few which did not share in the rise.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (IN.SO.-
No increase in demand for steel
and iron is reported by the Iron
Age in it's weekly survey today.
At Chicago, according to the
Iron Age, ingot output has risen
from 80 to 33 per cent Of capacity,
and there has been a minor gain
at Youngstown, while the Buffalo
rate has been raised by the re-
sumption of activities at a steel
plant, which had been shut down
for a week. The average rate of
production for the country as q
whole Is estimated at 81 per cent
Of mill capacity, compared with
80 per cent last week.
Construction activity offers the
best promise of making heavier
demands on the steel industry.
Reinforcing bar demand has
shown encouraging improvement.
Prices of finished steel and pig
iron are holding steady.
Scrap markets are quiet, with q
decline Of Is cents a ton in heavy
melting scrap at st. Louis and

prices are unchanged at $3.50 q
