NEW SUNSHINE
DRIVE ON, SAYS
SPECTATOR
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SfEClAAOn
NEW YORK, July 27 QN.S0.
The market today will take stock
of U. S. Steeps contribution to
the latest sunshine" campaign,
through payment of the preferred
dividend.
The reaction yesterday served
to correct the advance somewhat,
and there may be more of it to-
day. Action of the steel board
confirms the belief that there is
a big drive on to put prices up,
so Selli: : short seems risky.
Manipulation Widespread
Looks as though commodities
we're being taken in hand to pro-
vide more ammunition. Bonds
have been doing this for some
time.
Myron C. Taylor, the U. S. Steel
"bosS," appeared quite cheerful
when he spoke to newspapermen
after yesterdays meeting.
There seemed to be something
about him which suggested that
perhaps he and his associates
were beginning to see some light,
even though his words didn't IN,
dicate it. Payment of the regu-
lar preferred was big news at n
Broadway, the elevator man shout
ing it out when he reached the
ground floor.
London Firm BulIiSh
One of the old London broker
age houses yesterday SEM out a
bulletin to it's clients advising pur-
chase of American securities. It
closed with the curious comment:
American is turning the
corner and doesn't know it."
On the other hand, big and
successful Paris bear crowd was
selling stocks again yesterday.
The word is around not 10 be
Short Of chemical stocks.

BONDS DISPLAY
MIXED TREND

NEW YORK, July q G.N.SO.
The bond market displayed some
what mixed tendencies today;
with steadiness in rails and in
dustrials offset by irregularity in
the foreign government section.
There was less activity in the
carrier obligations, although de,
mand proved sufficient to lift
values of the speculative liens
fractionally. Chicago Northwest
ern 434s moved UP rs to 1872;
Missouri Pacific 4s were up "a at
1874. The better grade issues
backed and filled fractionally.
German government loans were
moderately reactionary, with the
International 512s off "a at 441a;
and the External Is sagging 3s to
67B. Italy rs were down "a at
90 while the United Kingdom 512s
were unchanged at 1043s.
Further fractional improvement
was noted in Treasury obligations,
with the various liberty loan is
sues holding unchanged. Treas
ury 32ss of 40 were up 1872 at
1901; Treasury As unchanged at
1898: Treasury 4l4s up 3 at
106.23: Treasury IS up at 96.6;
and Treasury 3Hss up 3 at 97.7.
There was little interest shown
along the line, although oil obli-
g cations were we'll supported
around previous cloSingS.

CHEER IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IS
REVEALED

NEW YORK, July 81 GN.S0
Without any change in the volume
Of business to account for it, an
air of cheerfulness has pervaded
the long depressed iron and steel
industry, the Iron Age declared
in its weekly review today.
Marked improvement in senti-
ment is predicated largely on eX'
pectationS of seasonal recovery
beginning not later than Septenl.
ber, together with the widespread
conviction tnat Fundamental. con-
Gitions are favorable for a turn
and that business cannot much
longer remain as bad as it has
been the past few months.
Crop Reports Cheer
At Chicago and in other Sec
tionS of the West the reports OF
good crops and strengthening OF
farm products prices are sustain,
ing factors in raising hopes for
early business betterment.
Not the least of the favorable
factors, from Tie viewpoint of the
steel industry, is the firmneSS OF
steel prices, which have reached
more solid ground through the
shipment of practically all Of the
loW-priced tonnage carried over
from the second quarter.
Heavy melting steel scrap, price
movements of which are some
times regarded as having baro-
metric significance, has advanced
soc a ton at Chicago as a result
of offers from Canada and
prospective buying by domestic
mill, the first rise in that market
since January, 1891.
Back at June Level
At Pittsburgh there has been an
advance of soc ton on turningS
and the entire scrap market has
a firm undertone. The rise at
Chicago brings the iron and scrap
composite price up to $6.58, the
figure published for the last week
of June, from which there had
been a decline to $6.42.
Except for a few minor rises,
the trend of the scrap composite
price has been downward since
early in 1880.

CURB LIST TONE
TURNS HEAVY

NEW YORK, July q QN.S0.
The curb market displayed signs
of heaviness today and Irregular
ity was prevalent along the line.
The utility group held in a COM
paratively narrow area, with Elec-
trio Bond and Share, American
Gas and Electric and Niagara
Hudson Power backing away to
around previous closings after lnl-
tial fractional advances.
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore
held it's early gain of almost 3
points to 81, ignoring losses OF
slightly less than point each in
Commonwealth Edison and Duke
Power. Cities Service slipped off
1s to 2B.
Oils maintained their levels
around the highs of the move,
with Gulf showing a gain Of a
full point at its best price OF
the day at 1914.
Aluminium was up a point at
it's forenoon high of 38, while
Great Atlantic and Pacific Stores
was unchanged at 121. Aluminium
preferred fell back 1A points
to 41A.
The bond section ruled sluggish,
with American Rolling Mills 412s
Sagging 2 points to 81. The run
of active utility obligations were
mixed.

B. AND D. JUNE
NET OFF THIRD

Baltimore and Ohio railroad
net operating income in June is
reported today at $2,132,394, ap-
proximately one-third less than
the $3,262.352 profit for the 1881
month. June operating revenue
was $1O,144,686 and expenses ST.
O53,758, comparing with last
years respective $14,950,040 and
$1O,969, ,706.
For the six months ended June
80 operating revenues totaled
$65, ,350,O12, operating expenses
$5O,O61, ,794, deductions $6,019,622,
and net operating income was $9,-
O42,172. The respective figures
in 1881 were $50, ,487 ,346, $70,-
867, ,957, $6,231,703 and 12,387 ,686.
June this year fell below the
six-month average both in net
operating revenue and in net in
come. The proportion of net in
come to revenue this year was
heavier, however, than in 1881
due principally to savings IN
operating expenses.

GRAIN FUTURES
ARE STEADY

CHICAGO, July 81 GN.SO.
Wheat futures averaged steady in
early dealings today. An opening
advance met with pressure from
local profit taking sales and prices
dropped back to the previous close
where they met support.
Coarse grains were uneven in a
quiet trade, with nearby months
actively supported by cash and
elevator interests with consequent
pressure in the deferred.
Near noon wheat was 1sc higher
to 2sc lower after opening 1s to
3sc higher. Corn was 1s to Ac
off, oats 1sc down and rye steady
to Ac up.
Liverpool wheat was ia to 13sd

If any advances were made, but print
cloths were stronger in that only one
