PRODUCTION AT
CARY PLANT IS
BEST SINCE 81
Carnegie Illinois Works Is
Going at 56.7 Per Cent
of Capacity.
Timca SnecinI

Times Special
GARY, Ind, March 20.-Pro-
duction in the Gary works Of the
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. is
proceeding this week at SGT pei
cert Of capacity, the highest point
reached so far in 1886 and helping
to give this month the peak operat-
ing average for any month since
1881, corporation officials said to-
day.
They anticipated still further
gains in the Gary works operations
either next week or for the week be-
ginning March 30, which will con-
clude the first quarter.
The production rate of Gary
works this week is 81 points higher
than the Sd per cent average marked
up through each of the three pre-
ccding weeks. The current rate is
less than q point below the 57.3 per
cent rate, which established the
1885 peak in the plant.
80 Open Hearths Active
The peak last year, however
was maintained during a single
week in December. The first two
weeks of this month were at a 81
per cent rate and an even higher
schedule is now in effect. The av-
erage for the month of December
1885, was 53.2 per cent.
Gary works today had 10 per cent
of its production units active. In
cluded were 80 out of So open
hearths and six out of IL blast fur
naceS.
Operators explained that four of
the open hearths, fired last week
in the No. shop which had been
closed down since July, 1881, were
added to the active list in prepare
ton for an anticipated increase in
orders. The furnaces will not be
ready for satisfactory production
for about two weeks.
New Mill a Success
Increased operations in Gary
works also were reflected in the
Gary sheet mill of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Co., where the
production schedule was back at
capacity The sheet mill moved
back to peak production last week,
operating until Saturday night,
whereas the schedule was to have
concluded Saturday morning.
New Mill a Success
Sheet mill operators were jubilant
the production Of the new
hot-strip mill, which already is
turning out excellent hot-strip steel
as well as coils for cold reduction.
They explained that the hot-strip
output necessarily is limited since
all units of the mill will not be fully
installed and in satisfactory pro-
duction until next month.
In its quasi-completed state, the
mill already has turned out as
much as 80 tons of steel sheets and
coils in single day.

So do interest rates. The element
OF supply and demand likewise
enters into such an appraisal.
When the statement is made
that investors should have known
in 1928 and 1929 that stocks were
not worth the prices at which they
were selling, the author more often
than not is unaware of what he is
saying. Underlying conditions in
the market itself probably had
more to DC with the crack-up than
did the existing high prices, and
most investors were totally ignor-
apt of those conditions.
PROSPECTS at the time seemed
good for most corporations, but
other factors were not so favorable.
yields were very low, much lower,
lin fact, than the rate of call money,
probably as safe an investment as
could be created. In other words,
the return on stocks in time of
general business prosperity was
much lower than money rates on
. the best type of security.
Moreover, most of the people who
had been accountable for the swift
rise in the price of stocks had no
intention of keeping their holdings
as investments. In fact, they could
not have paid for them if they had
wished to do So. They had pur-
chased them on a shoestring and
were counting on a farther adj
vance in prices to earn them
quick profit.
Those who are attempting to
analyze stock values today have an
entirely new set of conditions with
which to contend, however. Pros
poets for business should be much
better now, inasmuch as We have
Just been through a severe depreS-
sion and distinct shortage of
goods exists. Money rates are lower
than they we're then, although the
rates have been artificially de-
pressed.
TIME ratio of money available for
a investment t. the supply of
stocks on sale is considerably
greater. AS result of the market
collapse most of those who held
stocks when prices began to turn
upward owned them outright. Such
new speculation as has taken place
since the beginning of the rebound
has been on much more conserva-
tive basis. This was made neces-
sary by the higher margin require
ments. And, also, almost no new
stock issues have been placed on
the market since the panic of 1929.
We face, however, higher taxes,
and we also have a great many peo-
pie still on the unemployed list.
Moreover, the government may be
expected to cut down on it's WPA
expenditures. These may interfere
with the progress of business and,
consequently, restrict the expected
increase in the amount of corporate
profits available for dividends on
stocks.
All in all, though, the market
prospects would seem to be quite
bright at the present time, and
there would appear to be little like
lihood of another crash such as we
had six years ago.

CITY TO START
ANNUAL CHECK
OF OIL PUMPS
Weights, Measures Bureau
Preparing to Make
Variety of Tests.

Another reminder that spring is
here was found today in the base
ment of City Hall where Thomas E.
Tarpey, inspector of weights and
measures, and his four deputies are
making preparations for the annual
inspection of the city's estimated
5000 gasoline pumps.
Inspection is expected to start
April l. Every dispenser of gaso-
line is to be visited and his pumps
checked. There are more than 1000
filling stations and garages in the
city, many with several pumps.
In addition to the gasoline pumps,
lubricating oil bottles and all liquid
measures used at garages and serv-
ice stations are to be inspected.
A semi-annual inspection of
meters on more than 300 taxicabs in
the city also is on the spring
schedule, but may be delayed pend
ing outcome of new taxicab meas
ure before the council.
Mr.. Tarpey and his staff still are

inspecting loads Of coal en- route
from dealers to customers. The
method employed in making coal
tests is for the inspector to stop a
truck and order the driver to take
it to the nearest coal yard, where it
is weighed on sealed scales. The
driver then is permitted to deliver
the coal, but must return for weigh
ing the empty truck.
Reweighing of packaged merchan-
disc in groceries and other stores,
testing of automatic scales in pack
ing and industrial plants and in
specting of measuregraphs in de-
partment stores also are scheduled
to begin soon.
Mr. Tarpey said many short
weight and measure offenders are
apprehended through customers
complaints. He emphasized that his
Office always is open to receive
legitimate weight and measure COM
plants, and declared all reports
would receive attention.
