Two Uncertainties

What, then, remains to be dis
counted by a further decline in
stock prices? Nothing that is
certain. The chief unfavorable
uncertainties are as follows:
First. il seems to a good many
that there is some chance that
collcctiviSm in some form may
revolutioniZe the American sys-
TEN of government and industry.
All / can say is that / see
evidence 10 the contrary. The
persistence of the Dies commit
tee. and the airing of facts about
"subversive' groups of teachers
and their fifth column activities,
are cases in point.
There are so many different
brands of collectivism here that
the comrades" in America will
never march together. They
won't accept a Stalin.) Mean
while, Congress and the two
party system show enough
vitality TO protect us against
dictatorship.
, Second. there are some fears
that we are headed for a not
distant peak of a business cycle.
As to this. the business survey
committee of the National Asso-
citation of Purchasing agents
says:
"a most active state of affairs
Is likely to prevail for some two
years at least"

temporary minor readjustment
is near.
AS TO possible Anglo-A American
defeat in war, can that be dis
continued?

Much Discounted

From the purely investment
standpoint. il is 10 be empha-
sized that the stock market has
now discounted a great deal OF
the unfavorable possibilities.
This is 10 be seen very def
nitely in the low level of prices
in comparison with net earnings.
and in their high yields rela-
lively to the yields on invest
ment bonds. D..
Making all allowances for the
New Deal and its menace TO in
dividual freedom. stock prices
now average the lowest in com
parlson with earning in many
years.
The question. therefore. re-
duces TO this Has all that is
unlavorable b cen discounted?
What more Is there to depress
security values?
Certainly a great deal that is
beariSh has already happened,
and must be fully known to all
investors.
For A large group of indus
trial corporations, it is known
that excess profits taxes in

against only 81 per cent for
profits before taxes. Wages have
increased. particularly in the
shape of the average pay roll

URGE SUBSTITUTES

Leading steel companies HAYS
begun urging their customers to
specify. wherever possible. substi
tutes for nickel steels. This move
results from the fact that supplies
of nickel at steel plants are
equivalent to 2 to Ia days require.
ments. with deliveries considerably
below the level to maintain IN
ventories. BY agreeing to accept
suitable substitutes. consumers
will be assured of a continuing
supply of steel.
The matter of substituting spe-
cifications is not expected to prove
to be too complicated since the
whole question of providing SUI
stitutes has been studied by, the
steel industry over a long period.
1t is expected the majority of the
proposed changes will have be-
come effective within few weeks
The tight situation in zinc last
week caused certain producers to
cut down their output of ga1Va.
nized sheets and they are prepared
to take similar steps in regard to
galvanized wire. They are even
prepared to reduce output of gal
vanized pipe if it should seem
necessary.
a TIGHT SITUATION
There also is tight situation In
the supply of low-carbon ferro-
manganese and of ferrochromiun.
particularly low-carbon ferro-
chromium.
The supply of aluminium Is suffi-
GENTLY tight to cause concern
among steel producers. They are
ready, If necessary, to substitute
open for killed steel on a substan-
tial scale.
There is no concern over the
immediate supply of tin and Of
manganese ore as shipments con-
tlnue to come in from abroad.
There also is no reason for i'm
mediate concern as to the supply
of tungsten. --s-~sT'e-,ss
The government Is taking short
cuts in buying steel. Thus in the
case OF a Midwestern ordnance
plant piecemeal competitive bids
have been done away with on the
remaining $1,000 tons of a total
OF 10000 tons of fabricated strrc-
turals required. the low bidder on
the first 5000 tons having been
awarded the remainder.
WORK : DAYS NOW
A growing number of stce!
foundries which customarily work
five or six days a week are now
working seven. There is greater
pooling of efforts. Thus steel
plants are often turning over some
surplus product, such as pig iron,
IN return for some other product.
such as coke. to rival steelmakers
IN the same district. Or they are
sharing jointly in the cost of re-
habilitating some furnace. A num-
Der OF iron and steel warehouses
nave pooled their purchases in an
effort to obtain better mill service.
A steel works has sold some pig
iron in northern Ohio based on
S23. Cleveland furnace, for No. 2
foundry. One large merchant p:e
iron interest with six widely scat
tered stacks is producing at los
per cent of rated capacity.
Steel inquiries carrying priority
certificates issued at Washington
are fewer than was expected for
this stage of defense.

D. c. to Study
Saving Steel on
43 Auto Tuqs

The District Commissioners have
referred the problem of 1943 motor
vehicle license plates to Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer for
study and report, in view of an
anticipated Office of Production
Management order limiting drasti-
cally the amount of sheet steel
which cities may obtain.
1t was explained adequate steel
was on hand for the 1912 tags and
that production is nearing compile
ton at the Lorton Reformatory.
Among the suggestions referred to
Mr.. Van Duzer is that only one tag
be issued in 1912, the other being
retained for use the following year
after addition of a small metal strip
to change the year numerals. An
other is that both 1912 tags be is
sued and then brought up to date
in 1943 by use of the small strips.
