Huge Half-Year
Earnings in Steel
Industry Cited
Review Also Reports
Second-Quorter Gain
Despite June Drop
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, July 31.-The maya
zine Steel, citing the current 90 per
cent steel operating rate as the high
est In nearly eight months, says 10
leading producers reported net ag-
gregate earnings of $21, ,1O9,152 for
the first six months of 1899. This
compares with a $l2,426.876 deficit
for the corresponding 1898 period.
The publication adds that the pro-
ducers, representing 85.3 per cent of
the companys total ingot capacity.
earned $12,199, 400 in the second
quarter, despite q June decline in
operations.
"First-quarter operations, resulting
in $9,852,417 net profit, averaged
54.64 per cent of capacity" the
magazine says. Second quarter
operations averaged 5086 per cent
of capacity.
Assuming the experience of the
13 producers already reported to be
typical, the industry's indicated net
earnings for the first half would ap-
proximate s24, 100000, or O.6 per cent
on an investment of $4,l55 OFT 900" +"
The years first-half earnings were
described as slightly better than
those for 1885, much better than the
loss of 1888, but far below earnings
for 1885 and 1897
The national steel rate gained 31z
points last week The pubhcation
lists these increases: Cleveland, II
points to 73 per cent; Pittsburgh.
to so: Chicago. 212 to 56; Buffalo,
"A to 81: Birmingham, 3 to a.;
Youngstown, l to 54. Districts in
which the rate was unchanged were
Eastern Pennsylvania at A. Wheel
ing at 70; Cincinnati at 81: Detroit
at 64 st. Louis at 47l2 and New
England at 40 The national rate
year ago was 81 per cent.
Possibility of an embargo on ex-
ports to Japan six months hence is
expected to stimulate scrap ship
ments the remainder of the year.
observes Steel The leading outlet
for exported scrap, Japan last year
took 1,l56,763 tons. in addition to
484.879 of iron and steel products. -
The scrap composite is up 4 cents
to sl49l. The finished steel COM
posite is unchanged at $3.50.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-A

Half of the SAL 100000 was ad-
vanced by the Reconstruction

The money will be used to balance

should have been done last De-
cember, and to pay of current
debts.
The gas works plant is under
lease to the Philadelphia Gas Works
Co., subsidiary of the United Gas
