Heavy Consumers Demand
Boosts Steel Output to

BY ELMER C.. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June GA slight
pickup in opening activity was noted
on the Stock Exchange today. Prices
frmed fractions to more than a
point. Bonds we're steady. Silver
strengthened.
Bethlehem Steel rose rs to 1914
on the first sale, while United States
Steel flrmed IS to 407s. Leading
issues in other sections were frac-
tionally higher with the exception
of the silvers. yesterdays favorites.
These showed small declines.
American Telephone opened at
116, up Il; Chenley q, up Is; Du
Pont 857s, up q; Atchison 56%, up
5s, and Loew's 1895, up 3s.
Trading Quilted after the opening
with prices steady around the in
itial levels.
The weekly report of the Iron Age
was negatively favorable. Steel
operations rose a point to go per
cent of capacity because consumers
were buying to stock up in event of
strike in the industry.
Electricity output Tor the week
ended June was reduced material
ly by the Decoration day holiday.
However, the percentage showing
much more poorer as compared with
year ago at 7.8 per cent up, against
rise a week ago of 1913 per cent.
The trend was sharply higher at
this time in 1888, hence the poorer
comparison.
Chain store sales thus far report
ed for May are up 14.6 per cent as
compared with May, 1888. Other
favorable items reported today in
cluded $306 a share earned by
Schenley in the first quarter, and a

have in England, is a strong prob
ability. That it will seriously inter-
fere with the industrial progress of
this country and that it will prove
harmful to brokers in the long run
is doubtful
American investors have been in
clined to give too much thought to
market profits and not enough to
safety of principle. In other words,
most of our investors have not been
investors at all but spectators. Any
thing which will tend to do away
with wide price swings in the mar
ket will help to correct this situa-
ton for the betterment of all con-
cerned, and the new market
measure stands an excellent chance
OF doing just that.
TINE brokerage business in Wall
l. Street always has been a fair
weather business. In times such as
1928 and 1929 the brokers have
waXed fat, but in times such as the
last two or three years they have
fed all of their profits back into the
wheel of fortune. The net gain has
been exceedingly small if spread
over period of years, and the at
tending headaches have been both
ersome to say the least. The brok-
erS themselves should welcome the
opportunity to build a steady bust
ness on a sound foundation.
From the standpoint of the coun-
try at large the change could not
have been effected at a better time.
The brokers are geared to handle
but a small volume of business, and
liquidation of securities is likely to
be at a minimum. StocFs which in
1928 were held in large amounts by
spectators have passed since then
largely into the hands of permanent
investors.
Underlying factors in the none
tary situation may prevent the new
market regulation measure from
bearing its best fruit within the
next few years, however. The
groundwork has been laid for an
other and possibly more dangerous
speculative movement in this coun-
try than we had in the last bull
market unless extreme care is exer-
cised in Washington. If it develops
it may seem to prove the new meas
ure to have been of little or no
value.
NXTE have today an unusually
w broad base for credit expan-
sion. This base has been provided
by the revaluation of the dollar in
terms of gold, and it will be en-
larged still more if silver is used, as
proposed, as backing for currency.
Easy credit invariably leads to bust
ness expansion, and the excessive
use of credit constitutes speculation.
We may build up another unwieldy
debt structure if we are not careful,
and if we do there is likely to be
trouble again.
Active business usually brings
with it greater corporate profits,
which, in turn, enhances the value
of company shares. If the profits
increase rapidly they invite specu-
lation in the stock market. And
people will speculate even though
they are obliged to put up large
margins.
