Major Steel Concerns
Expected 10 Boost ls
Prices for 1910
Action by Small Firms
Likely Before End
Of This Quarter
By the Associated Press.


By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, sept. 2s.-steel
sources here said today some rise In
price level of finished steels was
probable for the first quarter OF
1910, with likelihood Of price In
creases by smaller companies before
the end Of the present quarter.
Some smaller companies, they
said, are hard pressed to fulfill COM:
mitments, since they are obliged to
pay sharply increased scrap costs.
A number of the larger companies,
on the other hand, have ample in
ventories or supplies of raw ma
terlals acquired at much lower than
present levels.
1t was improbable, they said, that
United States Steel would raise
fourth quarter prices, since Carnegie
Illinois. chief subsidiary, only about
a week ago gave a fiat announce
ment to the contrary. That an.
nouncement, however, strongly in
dicated that all shipments after De-
cember 81 would be billed at higher
prices.
Since the larger companies are
believed now to have on the books,
fourth quarter orders which will
come close to taxing full capacity,
the question of immediate price
rises is more or less academic from
their viewpoint, it was said.
However, it was pointed out that
Immediately effective price rises
would greatly benefit some of the
smaller companies which have
capacity for rolling products before
the end of December.
Speculation as to what the In.
crease would be varied greatly, but
some sources said it would probably
be not less than SO to IS per ton,
which, they said, would about reflect
actual present increase in costs of
production.

Economic HighHghts

During the most recent period
for which trustworthy statistics
are available, the business ba-
rometers generally showed slight
declines. At the same time, there
was, as Business Week phrases it,
a Frightening of the longer-term
outlook. A greater degree of
confidence can now be placed in
the business prospect for the
spring and early summer.
Looking at the picture from
business point of view, the re-
cent deal whereby the IVA pur-
chased the Tennessee Electric
Company for what appears to be
a fair, going concern value, is
considered in some quarters the
best news of months. 1t is likely,
these experts think, that it will
serve to some extent to break the
log-jam in utility expansion, and
will make it possible for the COM
panios to obtain new capital at
reasonably low rates of interest,
on the theory that the investor
will be recompensed if the gov
eminent purchases the properties
in which his money is placed.
Furthermore, it has been argued
that the deal may foreshadow a
slowing up of government en-
croachment in the utility field,
for the reason that if the IVA
and similar bodies must pay a
fair prcie for what they purchase
they will be unable to make
rate reductions Of sufficient size
to create wide public support for
the government ownership move
ment That, of course, remains
to be seen.
Another encouraging factor is
found in corporation earnings re-
ports covering the last quarter of
! 1888. On the average, profits
were just about doubled, by COM
parison with the summer quar-
ter, and were on about the same
level as at the end of 1887. Es-
pcially good showings were made
by automobiles, paper, textiles,
chemicals and electrical equip
ment. Itsshould be remembered,
however, that in some cases, the
j improvement is striking, only on
, a comparative baSis-that is, a
company which breaks even dur
ing a quarter is considered to be
doing well if in previous periods
it operated in the red.
Of immediate interest is sub
stantial increase in pump prim-
ing" by the Treasury. It is es-
! timated that the cash deficit for
the first half of this year is likely
to run around $300,000,000 a
month-twice the deficit in the
last half of 1888. In other words,
, the government is going ..full
throttle" in it's efforts to better
business. And that will unques-
I tionably be felt in the production
and consumption indexes this
spring.

HAvANA-KEY WEST RACE NEXT

Edcu week SoInG one Oh our CIVIC,
sports or social groups pops up with an
idea or an event that adds luster and color
to our rapidly expanding winter program.
There was Semana Allegro week, some
what marred by weather conditions, with
it's varied schedule of events; there was
the hobby show staged by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce; there was beau
tiful tropical flower show under the aus
pieces of the Key West Garden Club and
Tree Guild. Tomorrow night the Junior
and Senior Woman's clubs will put on a
fashion show at Casa Marina.
AS these events fade into the back
ground, others will take their place. Mon
day night directors and members of the
race committee of the Key West Yacht
Club met and advanced the proposal to in
vite Havana yachtsmen and members of
the fleet entered in the forthcoming ST.
Petersburg Havana race to take part in a
race from Havana to Key West at a con-
venient date to be selected by the par
Elephants. The race is bound to interest a
large number of yachtsmen and to attract
attention to Key West in many other di-
rections.
In furtherance of the proposal, the
yacht club appointed Albert E. Peirce,
fleet captain, to visit Havana and repre-
sent the local group in extending the in
vitation for the Key West dash. 1t is pos
sible Vice Commodore Melvin E. Russell
may accompany Mr.. Peirce to assist in the
promotional activities.
Going on the assumption that the
Havana and st. Petersburg yachtsmen will
accept the invitation, the Key West Yacht
club has arranged for stationing a boat at
the finish line and for escorting the racers
to anchorage in the harbor; for costume
ball at Casa Marina for the visiting yachts
men and members of the Key West club /;
for a cocktail party at the home of Rear
Commodore HI. P. Connable, and for an
etched pewter ashtray, designed by Artist
Cyril Marshall, to be presented as a
souvenir to the members of the winning
crew.
Such foresight cannot help win APP
prevail of the visiting yachtsmen. Nothing
seems to have been left to chance, as so
MANY similar events often have been in the
past. No one in Key West can fail to ap-
preciate the efforts of the Key West Yacht
club and all other groups that have do
mated so generously of their time and eff
fort in promoting an attractive winter pro-
gram A resort city without varied pro-
gram is not a resort city-it is just another
city on IT, S. Route No. /.
The fact that we have such groups
here and that they are performing fine
community service is one of the reasons
why some $4,000 visitors came to Key
West in January and spent an approx
mate 100000, according to estimates by
the State Hotel Commission. In the name
of the numerous citizens of Key West who
shared in this prosperity The Citizen Of
