resented by an issue of $40, 600
600 in short-term notes in favor
of the Chase Bank.
The Cuban floating debt is
unknown to the public and it ap-
pears to be impossible to do more
than estimate it broadly.
It maybe anywhere from $780,
100000 to S50,OOO,OOO. 1t rep
resents salary arrears to public
employees and bills owed to pri-
vate contractors for public
works.
A well-known financial expert
of Havana, told the United Press
that the task of setting Cuba's
economic house in order is not
an insuperable one.
"Despitc the existing disorder
and the present anachoronlstic
and unscientific tax SYSTEM" he
said, "everything can be readily
arranged with a group of honor
able, honest and capable men in
economic command in the gov
eminent of Cuba. The situation
prevailing at present can be sus-
tanned perhaps for six months,
but immediate action to study
and map out new system is
necessary"
In addition to a revisal of
Cuba's tax system, it is probable
that recommendations such as a
complete refunding of the ma
tional Indebtedness may be made,
and even a partial moratorium
affecting amortization of some
of Cuba's bonded issues may be
suggested.
! Once the Cuban political situa.
ton is stabilized it is certain
that the United States Amhas'
sador Sumner Welles, who has
contributed so largely to the
change in the Cuban regime, will
devote increasing attention to
Cuba's finances.
Most of the American capital
in Cuba is invested in sugar
properties and in public utilities
such as telephones, power, light
! and gas. The national, provin,
! cial and municipal governments
are heavily indebted to some OF
these utility companies. While
they are waiting FOR the com
plete restoration Of political or
der. which seems to be swiftly
progressing, they are making
| known no charge of policy, but
! it is likely that these companies
will stand ready to make wei
come concessions in efforts tt
aid in setting Cuba on her feet

The Stock Market was much

sharp decline in the dollar.
Silver Price Rises
Commodity markets also we're

The inflationary stocks led the
npturn. Case, International Har-
Nester, Montgomery Ward were
strong in sympathy with wheat.
Oils, rubber and the mining shares
were UP from fractions to 2 points.
United States Smelling was not
able for its strength.
Speciality shares, notably Du-
pont, United Aircraft, Allied
Chemical and CelaneSe were in
tair demand and ruled higher.
Carriers Stronger
FirrnneSs in New York Central
brought fair support into the
carrier shares and fractional
gains were scored by Lackawanna,

STEEL HOLDING
OUTPUT RATE

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 GN.S0
At a time of the year when the
trend of output is usually down.
ward. iron and steel releases are
showing a slight gain, which is
being reflected in mill operations,
the weekly Iron Age Review
points out today.
Although the production sched-
ule at the beginning of the week
was reported at 26.8 per cent as
compared with 26.9 per cent seven
days previously, actual operations
are again running somewhat ahead
of schedules, averaging close to %
per cent as compared with 27R
per cent a week ago.
Scrap Market Firmer
The improved showing of pro-
duction has been reflected in the
scrap market, which is always SEN
Sitive to a chance in the operating
trend, an increase in the price of
heavy melting steel at Chicago
has caused the Iron Age scrap
composite to rise from 1888 to
1892 a gross ton, its first advance
since the second week in August.
While it is still too early to
make a definite forecast of a con-
tra-seasonal increase in steel pro-
duction in December, a further up
ward revision of automobile pro-
duction schedules, the placing Of
several rail orders and the ap-
pearance of additional public
works projects have all contributed
to a feeling of greater confidence.
Composite Unchanged
Most of the price changes con-
templated for the first quarter of
next year have now been filed.
No advances in pig iron prices
have been made, except in New
England and eastern Pennsylvania.
The Iron Age composite prices
for pig iron and finished steel are
unchanged at 1851 a ton, and
2.015c a pound.
