STEEL PRODUCTION
REVEALS INCREASE:
Current Schedules of ID Per-

BY the Associated prnss

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 7.-Steel ingot
production has recovered slightly from
the December low point and is currently
at "a per cent, Iron Age said today.
This compares with rate of Al per
cent year ago. The Pittsburgh and
Chicago districts are only at 20 per cent,
but Cleveland continues at 80 per cent.
The Wheeling rate has risen sharply
to 40 per cent and the Birmingham dis
trict, aided by the resumption of the
Ensley rail mill, is at so per cent.
Backlog Small.
"Year-end orders for January ship
ment were meager," said the review,
steel companies having accumulated
scarcely any backlog. An unsettled price
situation coupled with discouraging
fundamental conditions, has contributed
in no small measure to hesitancy among
steel consumers and distributors in plac-
ing January replenishment orders.
Notwithstanding the slow start of
the new year it is expected that steel
operations will continue to gain mod
erately during January, with the pos
sibility that February will reflect the
usual seasonal rise more than this
month
Automobile and farm machinery

whether price-strengthening can be
brought about in advance of a gain in
volume of business remains to be seen,
but Chicago mills are making a move
in that direction, having taken a firm
stand for $1.70 on plates, shapes and
bars a So ton increase over prices
that have recently represented sales in
that district.
Meanwhile, further concessions Of
81 ton on automobile body sheets have
been made and cold rolled strip steel
and fender stock have weakened at

Production Figures.
Pig iron production figures for De-
cember add emphasis to what is already
known of the sharp curtailment in ac-
tiVity last month. The daily average Of
81 ,625 tons and the months total Of
980,376 tons make new low records for
the past 10 years.
Furnaces in blast on January l were
56, a net loss of IL since the beginning
of December. The year-end figure Is
by far the lowest of this century and
probably below that of any time since
the Summer of 1894
The years total pig iron production.
not including charcoal iron and electric
furnace ferroalloy, was l8,175,165 gross
tons. Steel ingot production for the
year is estimated at $4,000, 900 tons. A
further increase in output of automo-
biles to between 125,000 and 10000
units is indicated for January, with the
first quarter estimated at 100000 to
$4,000 units. Ford is not expected to

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 7.-Although
the bond market today met considerable
profit taking from those VINO had
brought around the December lows, it
nevertheless continued its advance and
attained new highs on the recovery.
Trading was on a fairly active scale.
The market opened firm, helped by the
improved outlook in the Franco
German situation.
Reports from Paris and London that
a Franco British agreement was near
on the matter of German reparatlons
and private debts were hailed as
favorable omenS for financial markets.
German government bonds swept up to
new highs on the movement, were
pressed down again on heavy profit
taking and then rebounded to fresh
highs on the day, from 2 to points
above Wednesdays closing quotations.
The buying of Dawes Plan Is was
especially insistent with bids for blocks
of Is to 100 bonds coming frequently.
Young Plan 512S were also in brisk
demand German Central Bank bonds
advanced l to 2 points. Municipals
like Prussia 6l2s, Frankfort CHS,
Saxon rs, Bavaria 612S and Cologne
612S we're higher.
Many German corporations and
municipalities were reported to have Sc
cured foreign exchange with which to
support their own bonds.
AS both London and New York re-
gard the German problem as the key
stone of the whole foreign investment
market. the improvement spread
throughout the foreign list. Belgian
6l2s we're points higher. Danish IS
gained a point. British 5i2s recovered
an opening loss and made small gain,
with sterling quotations meaSurably
higher. Rome 6s and other Italian de-
scriptions ran up to 2 points. French
bonds were firm.
Canadian government bonds and cor
porate obligations firmed on the steadi-
ness of Montreal funds. japanese bonds
we're steady, though not inclined to fol-
low the general improvement. Aus
tralians gained with higher exchange
quotations here and in London.
German government bonds were the
feature of a generally higher market
at the opening.
Young Plan 5l2s we're more than 2
points higher around 81 and were at a
new high on the recovery. Dawes Plan
Is were fractionally better, while Ger
man Bank descriptions. muniCipalS and
corporate obligations all had sharp ad-
vances. Prussia 612s opened points
higher Belgian 612s gained 2 points.
British 5}2s were firmer, with the A.
point jump in sterling quotations. Other
foreigns followed conSerVatively.
In the domestic list, railroad bonds
were again the best group, with ad-
vanceS ranging from 4 to a point in
such issues as Denver & Rio Grande
Western SIS, Southern Railway SIS and
Missouri-Pacific general As. McKeson
& Robbins 5l2s with fractional gain
and American International 512s with
y 2-point improvement led the indus
trials higher. Utilities were firm.
United States Government long-term
obligations were narrowly higher.

Motor Merger Rumors.

NEW YORK, January (SpeciaD -
Rumors of mergers in the automobile
industry are being given more attention
at present than preliminary reports of
the demand to come from the annual
show opening here Saturday. So far
these reports have not been substan-
tiated, but they are in line with con-
solidation tendencies in every branch
of business. The December output Of
automobiles is given at 10000 units,
gain of 10000 over November, with a
possible increase, according to the Iron
Age, to between 125,OO0 and 10000 this
month. The first quarter of the year,
however, is expected to show from a 20
to IS per cent decrease from the
same period in 1881.

Daily Quota Reduced.

Gov Sterling, through revision in
martial law regulations, reduced the
daily quota of East Texas producers to
100 barrels per well daily In spite of
this, new drilling caused the fields
quota to increase and producers vOlun-
tarily instituted a Sunday holiday"
closing rule which helped bring about
a reduction from 3l5 1886 barrels daily
IN November to 290,8 barrels daily
in December. The entire State pro-
duced 8O4 6l3 barrels daily in Decem-
Der as compared with an average OF
844 ,62l barrels daily in November.
OIL men watched with interest the
Federal Court injunction suit at Hous-
ton, brought by Eugene Constantin and
J. E. Wrather, against the Governor
and various State officials.
The principal question at stake was
the Governors right to declare martial
law IN the field last August II, then
permitting wells TO reopen only under
strict military supervision. The Gov
ernor contended that he acted to pre-
serve order in the field, without regard
TO such economic factors as the in
crease in oil prices which might be
expected from production curtallncnt.
The Legislature enacted a new con-
serVation law as an emergency measure
last year giving the State Railroad
Commission ADDED powers for enforcing
proration, but the merit OF this meas
uTe as a legal bulWark against pro-
duction eXceSses never was tested In
junction suits challenging the author
ity of that law were filed but the
Governor never relaxed military con-
troll of the field, contending even in

In legal circles the discovery Of new grounds
for divorce Is epoch making triumph. The
field Of domestic infelicity was unexplored
territory 50 years ago. Frustrated wives
turned to embroidery or china-painting as a
means Of emotional releaSe-ruining their
eyesight but preserving the integrity Of the
home. Henpecked husbands moped in the
woodshed joined fraternal organizations,
whose primary purpose the holding of
conventions in distant cities.
There gossip at the Ladies Aid Society:
it was whispered that the So-and-So's had
had words" that Mr.. You-Know-Who had
gone buggy riding with "a certain person
who Is no better than she should be-"
There were lengthy tom-and- jeremiads in
the corner saloon. Sympathetic bartenders
listened patiently to tales of feminine
oppression: of wives who demanded the
weekly pay envelop intact and rifed trousers
pockets in the small hours of the night Of
better halves who prohibited cigar smoking
within the lace-curtained confines of the
parlor, and-moSt horrble!-of those fiends
in female form who slip subtle drugs into
coffee in order to deprive honest men of
their taste for liquor.
But that was as far as the forces of dis
solution went. The barroom blasts against
domestic despotsm usually ended in .
tribute to the tyrant. The plaintiff. taking
a fresh foothold the brass rail, summed up
his with the defiant assertion that

THAT, however, was in the age Of reticence.
Today when there is matrimonial ship
wreck, we get frst-hand accounts Of the
disaster from both survivors. Much of the
sautary effect of divorce is due to the oppor-
tunity it offers the dissenting parties to give
their grievances a good, thorough airing.
There was time when the eternal triangle
almost the only wedge which could split
home apart, but this is no longer true.
Eternal triangles figure more prominently in
the drama than in the divorce court now. A
dizzy blonde may still be bonehead of con-
tention but most of the cases which reach the
courts involve less spectacular distractions.
Incompatibility, desertion and variations
these themes constitute the motif Of the mis-
mating song.
1ncompatibility may mean anything from
leaving the tooth paste uncapped to hurting
crockery and the line Of distinction between
willful deSertion and mere staying out late Is
conveniently vague. But there are other crimes
equally heinous for which there is no legal
redress For instance consider the predica-
ment of poor Mrs. Pendover:
Mrs. Pendover is a woman Of active mind
and volatile temper. AS a girl she was cap
tain of both the high school debating team
and the basket ball team AS woman she
is the leader of several civic organizations. Her
facility in bargaining is the terror Of all
tradesmen.
There is nothing that Mrs. Pendover enjoys
more than good, hot argument But her home
life is most unhappy. for her husband does
not share her enthusiasm. He Is . plump,
