Drop in Orders

NEW YORK, April 10 P1.-
The decline In new order volume

While the trade publication
said there will be production de-
|clines in April and early May,
1t added: Overall order volume
now suggests that the mills may
be in a position to stabilize ingot
production by late May or early
June"
Construction will be the MAIN
stay Of the steel market this sum-
mer, the publication said, but
added that construction in some
areas is getting of to a slow
start"
steel users" Iron Age said,
"are taking advantage Of the
competitive market in sheet and
strip. Some are trying to push
second quarter orders into the
third quarter. Others have car
Iried inventory cutbacks to the
danger point"
The publication said the
looked-for pickup in demand
from the automotive industry is
still lust around the corner. "
The oil and gas industries are
maintaining a lively pace.

So Many Repairs

In the last 10 days, by some
blankety blank coincidence
which is inspiring this column
but no laugh from me, Just
about every frequently used APP
pliance in our home has gone on
the blink.
The TV set has developed
something worse than tube
trouble: the vacuum cleaner has
been spreading rather than
lpicking up the dirt: the hi-fi
has been giving forth squeaks
suggesting a Mickey Mouse imi-
tation Of Donald Duck; the
washing machines have been
soaking the kitchen floor instead
OF the clothes and dishes.
In the past 10 days, therefore
I have been brooding over a
parade Of servicemen. And as ]
have WINGED at the thought OF
what their appearance in our
home will mean to our household
budget. I have come to this Arm
conclusion:
There simply isn't anywhere
near adequate consideration
given in any index tracing the
trend Of our living costs to the
lever-increasing load the volume
of repair costs places on our
family budgets.
Changes Suspected
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
suspects this is so and it also
suspects a lot Of other dramatic
changes have taken place in GU,
way of living since it last re-
examined the basis of its price
index in 1950-5l. That's why /,
is asking Congress for funds tc
restudy the basis of the index
bring 1t up to date.
But when and as Congress
does give the BIS the money to
make the study. the results will
only confirm what I already
know and what you already
know too-for the simple reason
that we're Giving the facts.
What is true in my house is
true in homes all over the Ma
ton.
The repair load is rising not
only because the cost of each
repair has gone up and each
service job is more expensive
than ever before.
It's mounting also because we
have so many more appliances.
and thus We need to have SO
many more jobs done.
Despite the increasing recogni-
ton Of how much more of our
dollar is going to services" to-
day than in 1850. I'm positive the
extent Of our spending on repairs
IFS greatly underestimated.

posed that leading investment
banking houses in Wall Street
organize a special committee to
study the problem and set up a
continuing. available group of
experienced men to advise small
companies on specific financing
problems.
Mr.. Mccormick said the prob
lem is not new but appears to
be even more pressing now,
While the Federal Government
has given long and serious con-
sideration to it, leaders of the
securities business also have a
serious responsibility to seek
some practical answers. he added
Pointing to Nationwide inter-
est and numerous pieces of pro-
posed legislation, Mr.. Mccormick
said it is generally recognized
that small companies account
for a significant proportion of
total sales and are important to
the survival of a healthy Nation
and economy.
Sees Need For Equity,
Rather Than More Debt
Far more serious attention
must be given to facilitating the
raising of funds for this CLASH
fication of business" he de-
clared. when I say funds, ]
mean equity and not debt, fu'
debt could prove to be the death
knell Of many of these COM
panies in the event of an I'M
foreseen serious recession in
their business.
What these companies need
are equity partners to share not
only their risks Of loss, but also
the prospects of gain if their
ambitious plans for the future
should materialize," he con-
tinued.
This is not to say that every
small corporation in need OF
equity funds would, or should
receive from such a group an
affirmative solution to its prob
lens.
"A good percentage, no doubt,
would be entitled to no more
than a negative response for rea-
sons such as an unsatisfactory
earnings or operations history
or poor product or sales outlook,
or inadequate caliber of manage
ment." he said.
But many who do have and
will have the ability to meet
standards established by the in
dustry group could. and should
with the approval of the group
be accepted by reputable un-
derwriting house. The oft-heard
reply that the financing Is toe
small should no longer be the
answer"
Mr.. Mccormick said his ex-
change stands ready TO assist
such a program in every way.
