STOCK VALUES
DROP LOWER

Heavy, But Some Sup
port Is Noticeable.

? *
Money at 20 Per Cent and
Foreign Exchange
Higher.
N?w York. Feb. Stocks wm
?gain sold at the expense of price
to-day. but the heaviness was not so
pronounced as on the two previous
Occasions. Some new low records
were made and some stocks changed
hands at the bottom prices for ihls
movement, but the net losses for the
day wera not as great as on Tuesday
and Wednesday. Here and there net
gaina for the session could be f >und.
But the general list was down as a
result of the day's business.
At the opening price changes
shotared irregular, but In the first half
hour of trading the general market
strengthened and substantial recov
eries were witnessed. Before noon,
however, the ifiarket became easier,
notwithstanding a sharp rise in ster
ling exchange, which earied the quota
tion to slightly more than eleven
cents above the low point yesteruay.
Signs of reallency were again in evi
dence after the noon hour, but heavy
offerings of Steel appeared in the
afternoon.
For a time it looked as If Steel was
being sold by important operators in
order to meet covering of short ?om
tnitThents in other directions, but as
Steel aproached par the balance of the
list again became weak, and It was
on this downward sweep that new
low records and new bottoms for this
movement were recorded. Offering*
of Steel common did not meet with
much opposition until the quotation
had gone through par to 99V:- At this
level there mas a quick rebound to
slightly above par. where it closed.
As Steel noared par and then wenfc
through to a new low for this move
ment. there was a general expectation
in commission houses that the entire
list would show pronounced weak
ness. but there was general disap
pointment on this score.
Call money did not get as high as
tha 25 per cent figure recorded yester
day. but funds at 3D per cent were
considered too expensive to warrsnt
new commitments in securities on an
extensive scale.
Prominent local writers expressed a
belief that government withdrawals
would be on a diminished scale In the
near future, and that this would be
less of a factor In making for tight
money. Investigation reveals that lo
cal bankers are stating that the money
committee has not been revived. The
fact is that certain heads of Wall
street Institutions are in touch dsliy
with each other, and are endeavoring
to supply the financial district with
as much call money as possible. No
attempt Is being made to revive the
money committee In order to control
mtr? ??u.hc this would lead to de
duction.. that there was a money trust
umi might draw fire from Washing
ton.

Detriment to Sterling
Exchange.
When sterling exchange
to $4 per pound laat year it waa
commonly explained as being du
to an unfavorable balance or,
trade. Recently It ha. droned ^
$3.1S per pound, and an intF?e?tea
| public la beginning to ask. wnai
I are the real influences back of the
present exchange situation.
The decline to $4 last
not due to any new
but represented something in"
would have happened during th
war If the United States Treasury
had not provided
; to "peg" sterling at $4.75 until
after the armistice ws? ;
The decline was merely the Pf*'
Doned expression of what
have happened in 1918 if the Treas
ury had not been lending money
! to England.
I The rate of foreign exchange does
not depend entirely upon the bal
ance of trade. It depends largely
upon whether the buying and sell
ing are done for cash or on credit.
( Every merchant knows that if he
buys for cash and sells on credit
his bank balance will soon disap
pear. and it will be necessary for
i him to issue I. O. U.s to pay his
i bills. That is what England Is do
ing now. She has been attempting
' to pay ca*h for supplies bought
! from the United States while selling
manufactured goods on credit and
| very heavily to poverty-stricken
countries. .... ?
I The recent drop to $3.1* was not
due entirely to credit inflation in
England, however, for exchange de
pends upon foreign as well as ao
imestlc conditions. If money eases
in the United States foreign cur
; rencies improve. If money hardens
In New fork foreign exchange bills
are depressed: it becomes more dif
ficult to flnd buyers for paper pay
able abroad. During the past week
there has been no change in condi
1 tions in England, but money has
been tight in New York: it has been
difficult to flnd buyers for sterling
exchange. and the price has fallen
in consequence.
Should England sell more goods
to the United States for rash and
less to the poverty-stricken coun
tries of Europe on credit, sterling
exchange will soon recover. If the
i British government will collect
enough taxes to pay all of its ex
penses instead of resorting to
credit to pay a part of them, that
will also strengthen British cur
rency.
Should money conditions become
more easy in New York, this also
will help, because K- "land can
then arrange to obtair >re funds
'in America. Also, rh" Germany
begin to pay her vnr indemnity
j to Belgium. France and Italy, this
| will improve sterling exchange, be
I cause these countries, owing money
| to England, can then remit Interest
payments to London.
The foreign exchanges are mere
ly the prices of foreign currencies,
and anything which tends to (V
I crease their supply wll tenH to ltn
? prove the exchanges. The balance
of trade Is an element in the
(analysis only as it affects the deb
! its and credits of a given country.

M1DVALE STEEL.
! Net profits of $3,282,595 for th*
[ three months ending December 31
| after deductions for charges and
Federal taxes, are reported by the
Midvale Steel and Ordnance Com
pany. This Is a decrease of $1,741.
402 frrm the corresponding period
1 in 191*. and a drop of $7,599,442
from the 1917 figure. The 191? total
is equivalent to $1 St a share ($50
par valu? ).
The income account for last year,
j as compiled from the company's
.juarterly reports, shows net profits,
i with similar deductions for charges
land taxes, of $10,387.41*. represent
ing $5.19 a share earned on the
stcck. There waa a falling oft of
*18.775.990 from the 1918 total. wh?n
*14.5$ was paid on each "fchare. As
compared with the net Income for
1917. last year's profits show a de
crease of $28,848,085.
The above statement, it Is ex
plained. is subject to revision to
meet anv changes in interpretation
of Federal lax laws, regulations
and ruling*.
Before buying securities it
might be well to investigate
the solidity of the security as
well as the house advising its
purchase. Hundreds of mil
lions of dollars are taken from
an unsuspecting public each
year by scheming individuals.
