Most Steel Companie,
Improve Earnings
In First Quarter
Only Seven Gain Enough
To Leove Anything
For Common
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Specia, Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Out Of
total of 20 steel corporations so
far reporting first quarter earnings
10 bettered their figures for a year
earlier, according to the Standard
Statistics Co. Total earnings (be-
fore preferred dividends) for the
quarter were $10,976,998, against a
deficit of $3,998,969 a year before.
However, when it is considered that
preferred dividend requirements for
these 20 companies are $11,0O0,O 900
quarter it will be seen that taken
as a group nothing was earned on
the common. Records of the in
dividual companies differed, how
ever. Some earned their preferred
dividends with something left over
for the common.
Because Of preferred dividend re-
quirements, however, only 7 of the
13 steel companies which had
deficits a year ago moved suffi-
GENTLY out of the red to earn any
thing on the common for the first
quarter. Six companies continued
to show deficits on the common,
including three of the four largest
in the industry.
Aggregate gains reflected largely
the higher rate of ingot opera
tions for the industry-an average
of 54 per cent of capacity in the
first 1889 quarter, against 80 per
cent in the first quarter of 1888.
OF the 20 companies, l3 operated
in the red during the first quarter
of 1888, but 10 of these returned
to the black in the opening three
! months of this year.
Following are first-quarter earn
ings of leading steel companies for
1929 and 1920.
