APRIL STEEL GAIN
IS SEEN BY TRADE
Seasonal Rise in Operations
Expected With Motor
and Rail Orders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March ga seasonal
rise in steel operations is expected by
the industry in April and, based on
definite business that seems to be Just
around the corner, steel companies
look for the turn to come within the
next two weeks. says Iron Age today
in its weekly review.
Expectations Of betterment," the
review continues, ARE predicated on
the fact that the Ford Motor Co. must
soon release large orders If it is to
attain a volume production schedule
early In April, as now seems likely,
and other automobile manufacturers,
who are marking time pending the
showing of the new Ford cars, prob
ably also will release business that
has been held back for weeks because
of restricted output.
Railroad buying may open up
slightly upon completion of new
financing through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. A case in point
is the application of the Baltimore &
Ohio for a loan of SIS, 100000 which
includes S4OOo,OOo for betterments.
The New York CentraPs long delayed
rail inquiry may appear next week, but
will be for only 10000 tons.

extent at Pittsburgh, have steel-mak-
ing operations gained and these in
creases are offset by declines elsewhere,
notably at Cleveland and in the VAL
leys, leaving the average rate for the
country at 25 per cent of capacity, un-
changed from last week.
THE Ford schedule Of production
may be expanded next week to 500
cars day and possibly as many as
1000 a day may come off the assembly
lines within two weeks. Receipts of
steel releases from Ford would be i'm
mediately reflected in steel-making OPP
erations
Efforts to strengthen prices are
complicated at seaboard points on &C
count of growing foreign competition.
Bars from Europe are being laid down
in New York in increasing quantities
at 1.20 to $50 cents a pound. while
foreign steel is being freely offered to
buyers on the Pacific Coast at $50
cents a pound delivered.
English makers of cotton bale ties
have usurped the competitive position
on that product occupied in recent
years by Germany and are quoting IS
cents per 45-pound bundle. delivered

years prices"

Development Of the Federal Reserve
policy of facilitating Government credit

This is brought out by the latest
combined statement of the II central
banks, covering the week ended March

eminent securities increased $57 900 900
during the week to reach total OF
$842, l62 900. This rise follows one of

The total now is 1924, 900 900 in excess
Of the comparable period of last year.
The gains noted above were offset by
a reduction in bills discounted for men,

In this connection. however, it is

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN LIGHT TURNOVER
U. S. Group Again Advances,
but Rail and Foreign
Issues Decline.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Irregularity
again characterized the bond market
today. United States Government
bonds advanced to new high prices on
the recovery and prime corporation
issues that are ordinarily affected by
nothing but money rates held firm,
while junior domestic issues and foreign
dollar bonds had a heavy tone and in
some cases sharp losses.
At the opening trading was mod
erately active at firm prices. News
dispatches, promptly denied in Berlin,
that Germany would probably have to
declare a partial moratorium on COM
mercial debts, conferred attention on
German government issues. These were
offered in blocks frequent enough and
siZeable enough to suggest forced sell
ing, but they were well taken and ad-
vanced fractionally soon after the open
ing.
Undoubtedly the declines in Germans,
in Kreuger & Toll securities and in In
ternational Match and allied securities
have forced some bank loans on which
these bonds or stocks had been held as
collateral. But it was with local situa-
ton that Wall Street was chiefly con-
cerned. The Street reasoned that Moth
ing but necesSitous liquidation would
result in declines Of to points in
railroad descriptions such as Nickel
Plate IS, Cotton Belt As and other issues
due this year, whose payments are viz
tuauy certain through the aid Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
After the initial burst of selling these
issues came back partially.

points occurred in long list of semi
speculative railroads, industrials and
public utility bonds. Among them were
Western Maryland IS, Missouri-Pacif1c

Walworth IS, National Steel SIS, Inter
national Cement SIS. American I. G.
Chemical SIPS, marlborough Refunding
IS, International Telephone IS. Postal
Telegraph IS and American g. Foreign
Power SIS.
The prospect of higher income taxes
caused an abrupt advance to new
high for the year in Liberty 3las, which
gained nearly 1852. Liberty first 4As,
Liberty fourth 4l4s, Treasury 4As, As,
334s, 3Pss, 31ss and IS all worked high
er. However, really brisk bidding ap-
peared only In Liberty 314s, the only
one of the active issues entirely tax
exempt, and Panama IS and conversion
Is, inactive tax-exempt bonds.
There were large offerings of prime
utilities like American Telephone SIS
and Consolidated Gas 512s and high
grade rails such as Atchison General
As and Norfolk & Western As but prices
held firm and there were a few frac-
tional advances.
In the foreign department the Aus
tralian group made substantial gains.
Queensland rs were up 4 points. Else

Griffs' Bad Debtor

Rice should normally have
had his day and hour last sea-
son, but the previous winter
saw the going to the Boston
Red Sox of Muddy Ruel and
it seemed fitting to Job
Muddy before his trail grew
too cold-and so we come to
the eve of the Sam Rice cele-
bration at last.
Too, there was no risk being
run in postponing the Rice
day another year when it
seemed most fitting to run in
Ruel, because then as now,
Sam appeared to be good for
a long. long time.
We shall not try to speak in
this gesture of Sans great rec
ord in Washington, the only
major league club with which
he ever cast his lot, because
that is known in every house
hold where baseball is dis
cuSSed. He came here August
IL, 1915 and Washington has
been home to him ever since.
Grif1 took Sam Rice from
Petersburg. Va, in payment Of
a bad debt of 5000, but on ex-
amining the then pitcher. he
decided he was worth $500
and sent a check for the diff
ference to Sans seller. so
says Griff.
