Canadian Provinces retired
$1O,873, 900 Of funded indebted
ness payable in United States
gold coin during the month of
December, according to the Do
minion Securities Corporation.
The bulk of these payments con-
sisted of $6,158,000 Province of
Manitoba, per cent bonds ana
$4,015,000 Province of British Co
lumbia, 4 per cent notes, both
retired on December Is.
Since about $2,5O0,0O0 of this
total were refunded in New York,
the effect has been a net reduc-
ton in the American dollar obli-
cations of these two provinces of
$7,673,OO0 Other maturitieS paid
off add 100000 to this figure.
During this year the financial
requirements of Canadian govern
ments and corporations have
been taken care of to large ex-
tent through the sale of internal
issues in contrast. with the large
amounts borrowed in the New
York market in previous years.
The total of Canadian financing
this year has been 376,503, ,4O8,
as compared with $613,649,311 in
1881.
This latter figure is exclusive
of $638, SOS, 800 long term Az per
cent loans issued in exchange for
51a per cent bonds maturing in
1931-34.
Not only has the total con-
tracted 38 per cent as a result of
curtailment in capital expendi-
lures, but all but four issues were
successfully floated outside of the
New York Market.

USED. CAR: SALES
KEY To TRADE

In attempting to forecast the
volume of automobile sales next
year, it should be kept in mind
that the used car is still the con-
troll valve on the new car market.
says the Standard Statistics Com
pany of New York, currently.
When a dealer accepts a used
car on a new one, he must usu-
ally take another used car in
trade on the first used car, and
so on. In october of this year,
for instance, dealers sold more
than three times as many used
care as new cars.
Secondhand vehicles in the
higher priced brackets are now
moving with great difficulty, the
best. used car sales being among
those under the $3.50 limit.
Dealers inventories of used au-
tomobiles are now believed to be
at the lowest point since 1925,
which is one constructive factor
in the outlook for new car sales.

PRODUCT
DECLINE To
CONTINUE

NEW YORK, Dec. 21 G.N.SJ
Steel output has declined per
cent, to IA per cent of the coun-
try's capacity, during the past
week, due largely to the influence
of year-end cessation of activity
in many metal consuming indus
tries, the Iron Age review says
today.
Support is currently being given
the industry by rollings of auto
mobile material and tin plate steel
production.
Decline to Continue
However, a further decline is
indicated for the holiday period
when a considerable number of
steel mill units, as well as many
manufacturing plants that use
iron and steel, will be idle for a
week or ten days.
While the receipt of orders dur
ing the next few days for January
shipment might alter the plans of
some steel companies with respect
to next weeks schedules, the busi-
ness now on the books does not
warrant the expectation that a
severe year-end slump in opera
tions can be avoided.
The Pittsburgh district will
drop to about 10 per cent next
week, while Chicago production
has already slipped below that
figure. There have also been de-
clineS in the valleys and at
Birmingham.
Detroit Plant Busy
In contrast to this slowing
down in most districts the De
troit unit of the National Steel
Corporation is making steel for a
brief time at full capacity to
meet urgent requirements of au-
tomobile manufacturers and at
Cleveland steel operations have
declined only slightly owing to
the support of automobile COM
panies' needs.
In appraising prospects for the
early part of next year, the steel
industry looks for it's principal
support from the automobile in
dustry though it is not banking
on it too heavily.
The steel industry is not count
ing strongly on volume buying by
the railroads.
Structural Steel Slump
Lettings of steel for building
construction have Slumped this
week to $500 tons. A good many
projects are pending, but awards
probably will not be made until
after the first of the year.
The Iron Age composite prices
are unchanged at 1.948c lb.,
for finished steel, $13.5 a gross
ton for pig iron and $692 a ton
for heavy melting scrap.

Business Failures

Overcoming ca On al forces
which should be pulling them UP
toward their first-of.the-year peak,
the number of failures declined
sharply during the week ending
December Is.
The 458 defaults reported by
Bradstreet'S Weekly were "a less
than in the preceding week and
the lowest since November II. The
total, moreover, was nearly 100
below the $50 failures occurring
during the corresponding week
last year.. (
