Steel Companies
Report Demand
Leve|ing Off

CLEVELAND. Feb. 24.-Major-
ity of steel makers report Febru-
airy order totals will be larger than
January despite the shorter month.
However, more companies report a
leveling off in demand. This. is due
partly to knowledge on the part
of consumers that steel is difficult
to buy unless very good reasons
for the purchase are shown. Many
companies on new contracts
merely promise quarters OF de-
livery rather than months. as
heretofore. states magazine Steel.
Steel ingot production last week
dropped 2 points TO 94la per cent,
the severest setback in many
weeks. due largely to wearing out
of furnace Innings.
Substitutes are beginning to be
employed: A certain analysis OF
carbon steel in place of the usual;
a different combination of alley
ing elements in the alloy field;
substitutes for certain scarce nom
ferrous metals: in some cases non-
metallic commodities in place If
metals. There is considerable
worry in some cases lest carefully
built-up markets will be lost per-

Weekend Rally
Only Technical,
TrdderslToId.
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. N. Y. University
The averages of stock prices
gained about a point last week,
as the result of a technical
rally which lacked both breadth
and volume. The level of cor
porate bond prices closed the
week almost exactly where it
began.
1t may be taken as a hopeful
rymptom that the composite av-
erage of 100 stocks bounced
back when it hit the 81 line.
which was the level at which il
held after the first recovery
from the May break in 1910.
Furthermore, it is to be kept
in mind that the market pessim-
ism of late has become so thick
that you almost could cut-it-
with a knife. This is always a
good basis for at least a rally.
AS prices of stocks have
sagged, a point has been reached
where the motives for liquida-
ton have been greatly reduced.
There are now many good stocks
which sell for only 5 to 8 times
earnings per share. At the same
time little consideration is be-
ing shown at Washington for
the investor. as seen in move
toward reducing the rigors of
the excess profits tax IN some
cases.

Graphs
Insurance Statistics
Reveal Interesting
Traffic Toll Facts

Automobile accidents on an
average day in 1910 took
Twice the number of lives lost
in the Kenvil. N. j., powder

Three times the toll Of the

cane;
Four times the fatalities in

So runs the report contained
in the booklet Here Today"
gotten out by the Travellers In
surance Company of Hartford.
Conn.
The interesting statistics also
shows that the number injured
in traffic on an average day
exceeded the total casualties Of
the six major disasters of 1910
combined. The booklet gives a
comprehensive analysis of-the
facts about accidents in which
$4,000 were killed and more
than 100000 others were in
jured. A new safety slogan is
suggested:
"Care Today-Here Tomor-
row."
Highlights of the figures. COM
piled from reports from AZ
states show:
Exceeding the speed limit was
responsible for 40 per cent of
the deaths and 70 per cent of
the injuries.
Every third victim was a Pc
destrian.
More than 81 per cent of all
drivers involved in accidents had
a year or more of operating ex-
perience.
Almost Sc per cent of all ia
tai accidents occurred in clear
weather and nearly 70 per cent
when the road surface was dry.

1910 accident driver would show
he was an experienced. middle
aged male. driving a passenger

Perhaps the hope based on

But when all is said. the ele-

More than that. such move

Thus. while the war ftiH1or
