These alatenients caused a good deal of conjecture as to how long the copper stocks and stocks of other metal producing companies can remain at their present range, with larger dividend payments promised nnd earnings continually Increasing.

Revisions down wru'il am bchiK inado In tho eatlmutoa tin to what Inercuac will ho reported liy tho United Stutca Stcol Corporation In ItH monthly Htutement of nrdcra to bo Issued nt noon tomorrow. It Is considered fair ly certain tlmt tho lnctetiso In hoolilns will bo between 200,000 and 0.000 tons. It might bo stated that tho corporation could hnvo shown it gain of nearly threo times as much had It not been for tho fuct that It turned down a considerable, nmount of business that was offered. These refusals. It la learned, wero larger In January than in uny other month. Thus fur this month tbo company has been taking 0 good volumo of ordeiH, and tho indications at this time are that February will go down In the records as a fairly bis month In tho steel company's bookings. An Increase of orders of 200,000 tons would bring tho total on the books of the company to slightly In excess of 8,000,000 tons. Thla would be hut approximately 400,000 tons under the largest ever reached In tho history of tho corporation 3.2W.C0O tons on December 31, 1'JOB. Should Feb ruary make a better showing than Jan uary, as is at present Indicated, It would take but two months more of Increase; to reach record figures. Estimates of tho earnings for January continue to rango around $t!,000,000, nnd tho total net for the tlrst quarter of ...is year Is expected to reach 130,000,000. J. G.
