OUTLOOK
BRIGHT, SAYS
IRON ACE

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 G.N.S).-
Steel output has rebounded to 81
per cent of capacity, as compared
with 36 per cent week ago, the
weekly Iron Age Review estimates
today. However, it is held that
operations are likely to taper off
as the year-end approaches.
Improvement Seen Certain
The average ingot rate for the
week may drop to 35 or "a per
cent. but there will not be a cor
responding decline in rolling mill
operations, which will be pushed
until the closing day of the year
to get out shipments.
Whatever the production statls'
tics of the month may show, it IS
regarded as reasonably certain
that aggregate steel sheet ship
ments will run ahead of those OF
November or October, besides eX.
ceeding the movement in any pre-
vious December in recent years.
1t is largely because of the eX.
cellent prospects for tonnage from
the big three-automoblleS, pubic
works and railroads-that the Sttel
industry regards the first quarter
outlook as so favorable.
Prices Reveal Sentiment
Market sentiment is reflected in
the uninterrupted rise of scrap
prices, which are always senSi-
tive barometer. Advancing for
the fifth consecutive week, the
Iron Age composite for heavy melt.
ing steel has risen to $11.08 ton,
compared with $10.67 ton last
week and 1898 a ton at the be-
ginning of the current upward
movement.
The Iron Age composite prices
for finished steel and L.g iron are
unchanged at 2026 cents pound,
and $500 a ton respectively.

the coming bond maturities,
which in 1884, will total approx
motely 100000 900.

POLICY OWNERS
URGED To ACT

Life insurance policy holders
whose premiums are due during
the banking holiday today were
urged by Herbert Davis, District
Superintendent of Insurance, to
take immediate steps to prevent
lapse of their policies.
A 30-day period of grace is
usually allowed for payment of
the premium, Mr.. Davis pointed
out, and he especially warned
those whose grace period expires
at this time to take action at
once. He said:
"ThiS bank holiday is not
likely to last more than a few
days. At the most it will be
but q temporary moratorium.
But for the dependents of
those who ignore their life in
Surance responsibility this NOR
atOrium may be permanent.
Here's what you must do;
and for the sake of your de-
pendent family, if not for your
own, do it at once: Go to your
insurance agent and do as he
asks you to do. Every COM
pany has made arrangements
to protect their pOlicy-hOlders.
'But you must do your part
to cooperate with the COM
panieS."
Mr.. Davis said the local COM
panies have all made plans to pre-
vent lapse of policies held by per
sons who are unable to pay their
premiums on account of the mora
torium, and to protect them until
they can pay, but stressed that
the bank holiday must not be
used as a mere excuse.

President expressed the hope
that it would be equally alert
to this problem, which he
characterized as "a like
necessity"
5 Billion Deficit
Successive Treasury def
cits, he pointed out, will
reach approximately $5,000,-
100000 by the end Of the
1884 fiscal year.
This, he said, "has con-
tributed to the recent COL
lapse of our banking struc-
ture." He added:
"It has accentuated the
stagnation of the economic
life or our people. It has
added to the ranks of the
unemployed.
Upon the unimpaired
credit of the United States
Government rest the safety
of deposits, the security Of
insurance policies, the activ-
ity of industrial enterprises,
the value of our agricultu-
raj products and the avail
ability of employment.
National recovery de-
pends upon it.
1T is too late for q
leisurely approach to this
problem. We must not wait
to act several months

Literally, the President asked
that the matter of veterans COM
pensation and of Federal salaries
be removed from congressional
treatment and reposed in himself
as the executive.

He said:
"The proper legislative func-
