Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 18.-The
Rustless Iron e. Steel Corporation Of
Baltimore, through its subsidiary, the
Rustless Iron Corporation Of America,
has acquired additional important pat
ent rights.
These have been issued by the United
States Patent Office to members of the
research staff of Alloy Research Cor
poration, an affiliated research organi-
zation, and assigned to that corpora
ton, and Rustless Iron thereby acquires
the exclusive American rights.
One of the inventions covers the
manufacture Of rustless iron or STAIN
less steel from scrap materials of sim
liar composition. A considerable VOL
ume Of scrap is available in all stain
less steel producing and fabricating
plants. The successful utilization Of
this scrap Is said to be of great eco
nomic importance. Patents have been
issued covering II distinct claims, In
cluding several notifications, for this
process.
Another patent covers the prepara-
tion Of raw materials used in the pro-
duction of alloys, as rustless iron and
stainless steel, before charging into an
electric furnace. Thirteen claims were
granted in this patent.
The Rustless Iron Corporation is one
of the largest producers of chromium
and chromium m-nickel alloys and the
only unit in the trade limiting its pro-
duction facilities exclusively to these
metals. 1t now owns or has exclusive
rights to processes for the manufacture
of stainless steel direct from chrome ore
and from stainless or rustless scrap.
And it is stated that these processes
yield the metal at greatly reduced costs.

LONDON, September 18.-The United
States dollar dropped to the cheapest
exchange rate In nearly two months
today when 1t touched $479 to the
low record since shortly after Great
Britain abandoned the gold standard
in 1881 was established last July 10
when 1t was quoted at $4.87H.
Uncertainty as to the course of the
United States recovery program and a
growing belief here that President
Roosevelt would be forced to take fur
ther inf1ationary steps were described
as the reasons for the continued de-
probation in American exchange.
The dollar dropped more than S
points during the day after opening
at $4.7312. Gold currencies hardened
on sterling, the franc, after opening at
80.86 to the pound, appreciated grad
ually to 1890 and then closed at 79 96

DOMESTIC BONDS
MOVE DOWNWARD.
Foreign Gold Issues Rise
Sharply as Other Prices
Weaken.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 18-While
the only visible effect of the decline in
Scllar exchange in the early bond trad
ing today was the sharp advance in
foreign issues payable in terms of gold.
it soon developed that investors and
traders interested in high-grade domes-
tic issues were giving serious thought
to dollar depreciation.
Reflection of this was found in the
general lowering Of bids for the best
grades of railroad. utility and industrial
bonds. resulting in declines running up
to more than a point in the type OF
bonds that ordinarily do not vary more
than fractionally. Buyers were present.
!. but they were unwilling to take bonds
without concessions in price,
The result was weak market in such
issues as Union Pacific first As, RocheS-
ter Gas SIS, Union Electric SIS, Sinclair
6l4s, Oregon Washington As, Northern
States Power SIS. Philadelphia Electric
4S. Pennsylvania general SIS, Detroit
Edison 5s of 1949, Consolidated Gas S.
Canadian Pacific IS of 1854, American
Telephone bonds and Baltimore g. Ohio
first S.
The main source of demand for high
grade bonds in recent weeks has been
from the insurance companies, which
have regular investment programs to
carry out and which up to today were
not as much concerned with dollar de-
probation as the rank and file CT indi-
vidual investors, because insurance COM
pany obligations to pay are in terms
OF the same coin as interest receipts
1t was reported by traders today that
even this type of buyer was backing
away from the market to observe the
extent of the dollars decline
One after another Of the foreign gold
bonds joined in the upward movement
today. Dutch East Indies 6s of 1862
advanced more than 4 points in the
morning to new high record of 1852.
The IS of 1947 also established new
high, as did the per cent bonds of
Bordeaux, Lyons and Marseilles. Swiss
5 rs were higher and British sterling
As hovered around their high for the
year.
Offerings of first grade domestic
bonds continued to expand in the after
noon, bringing the days volume of deal
ings we'll above that of last Friday.
With the dollar dropping several cents
a day in terms of sterling, although
somewhat less in relation to gold cur
rencies, traders were indisposed to take
the chance of loading up even on the
best bonds. Talk of imitation was heard
on every side today.
Losses in gilt-edged rails and public
utilities ran all the way up to 3 points,
the list of weak spots broadening as the
day wore on. American Telephone
debenture SIS and sinking fund 5s were
offered with uncommon freedom, the
latter declining l5s points and the for
mer 2l4 points. Atchison general As
came out in large blocks after a sharp
hreak on the initial transaction and in
the afternoon they were points under
the high for the year, half of which loss
was sustained today. Union Pacific
first 4s were l.. points lower and the
refunding 5s lost points.
While not pronouncedly weak, Treas
ury bonds were lacking in support as
during most of last week and they av-
eraged lower.

Imitation talk based largely on gold
