CURB ABSORBS
REALIZING
ADVANCES

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 GN.SO.
Curb stocks turned sharply higher
after the opening today, but in the
second hour some profit taking
developed.
The list displayed ability to
absorb realization, however, and
continued near highs.
The decision of two major com.
panieS to register under the public
utility holding corporation act was
bulliShly construed by th4 power
shares, which turned substantially
upward on the whole, although
there were scattered evidences of
irregularity. Electric Bond and
Share erased an early loss to chalk
up net gains of almost point
and Electric Power second pre-
ferred ran up more than 3 points.
A good deal of buying was evil
dent in the lower-priced oil shares.
Leonard Oil extended good gains
of yesterday in considerable vol
ume. Red Bank ran up more than
a point to Is, also after a wide
gain in the previous session.
Standard Oil of Ohio improved
moderately.
Little headway was made by the
mining shares. The group was un-
usually quiet, with only the small.
est fractional price changes il
evidence.

Steel Output Moves
UD to 81 Per Cent

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Steel
ingot production for the country
as a whole moved up to an esti-
mated 81 per cent Of capacity this
week on top of a January out
put that was an all-tlme record
for that month and only 10 per
cent less than the peak figures OF
5,273,167 gross tons Of open
hearth and bessemer steel in May,
1929, according to the Iron Age
summary.
Last months total was 4,736,697
tons (81.42 per cent of present
capacity, which was 55 per cent
above that Of January, 1885, and
equal to 55,600,000 tons on a
yearly basis against 54,312,279
tons Of open-hearth and bessemer
ingots produced in 1929, the re-
port said.
That the present high steel pro-
duction can be maintained in the
face Of continuance Of the Gen
eral Motors strike and the fact
that southern Ohio plants, with
nearly 5 per cent of the country's
capacity, have not sufficiently
recovered from the flood to get
above an average operation Of 10
per cent, points to a still higher
rate when the strike has been
settled and flood-stricken mills
have resumed, it was pointed out.
The review added:
COAL STRIKE POSSIBILITY
Barring a soft coal miners
strike on or about April l and
possible labor troubles in steel
plants, major steel companies
do not doubt their ability to
The Washington times., 1937-02-10

maintain approximately present
output through the remainder
Of the first half. There is no
doubt whatever as to the first
quarter, as present backlOgS as.
sure production of all the steel
that shortages of raw materials,
particularly pig iron, coke and
raw steel, will permit. There will
be a considerable carryOver of
tonnage into the second quarter,
with sheets now being sold for
delivery in the middle of that
period, and recent bookings of
rails, construction material and
steel for railroad equipment will
also extend into the second quar-
ter for delivery.
"NeW business this month has
been coming in at a good rate,
some mills having booked more
tonnage than in the correspond
ing period of January. Pressure
for deliveries Is insiStent. To.
some extent consumers and job
berS may be trying to protect
themselves against the effect Of
further labor disturbances, but
consumption is so heavy that no
large stocks are being built up.
Steel companies are fOrtifyfng
themselves against a miners
strike by laying in large stocks
Of coal, and steel production
probably would not suffer seri-
Ously unless there were a strike
of long duration.
LEWIS POSITION
"The untenabIe position Of
John L. Lewis in the General
Motors situation in holding out
unc0mprOmiSingly for exclusive
bargaining rights for the CIO,
together with the failure of
Michigan State authorities to
enforce the order of the court
against sit-dOwn strikers and the
sympathetic attitude of the Fed
eraI administration toward the
labor group, has created nervous
apprehension in industry as to
the possible future course Of
labor agitation"
High spots of the week were said
to include rush orders from job
bers and consumers in flood
stricken areas to replace damaged
stocks; resumption of buying on q
fairly large scale by Pacific Coast
steel users, following settlement oi
the maritime strike; additions Of
about $4,000 tons to recent struc
tural steel awards, with approx
mately the same amount out fol
bids, including 5000 tons for the
Thousand Island internationa
bridg over the st. Lawrence Rive
bridge over the st. Lawrence
River; an advance in tin plate pro
duction to 81 per cent; prospec
tive stepping up of rail output tx
meet needs of railroads for Sprint
work; a firmer scrap market, anc
a large increase in export in
quiries, on which some mills have
declined to quote.
