NEW YORK. Jan. 8.—The bond
market looked over week-end re
ports of the war in Northern Europe
and decided Scandinavian loans
were a good buy.
While bonds of such neutral coun
tries as Denmark and Norway
stayed pretty near the previous
close, buyers appeared when any
offerings came out.
In the corporate division the gen
eral tendency was toward higher
price levels. Gains for the most '■
part were fractional, but the market |
sampled a wide variety of rail, in
dustrial and utility loans.
Brokers admitted. however,
traders were apt to keep their
activities in low gear until they had
a better idea what Congress was
Up to.
Cheering, nevertheless, was an
nouncement by the underwriting
syndicate that the new issue of
American Gas & Electric Co. deben
tures met a good demand soon after
books were opened.
Corporate gainers included Stude
baker 6s, Youngstown Sheet & Tube
4s. Great Northern 3'-s. Common
wealth Edison convertible 3r.s,
North Western 434s of '49 and
Alleghany stamped 5s of 50.
A handful of United States Treas- '
urv issues appeared on the tape,
mostly at slight declines.

Piper Aircraft Nets
Profit of $84,569
In Fiscal Year
Sales of Light Planes
Expected to Climb
Further in 1940
B» the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Piper Air
craft Corp., which manufacture!
the light "cub” airplanes used bj
many sportsmen and student flyers
reported today net profit of $84,569
or 79 cents a common share, fbr thi
fiscal year ended September 30.
As the present company, whicl
has its plant at Lock Haven, Pa.
began its income account on No
vember 14, 1937, no exact com
parison of earnings is possible, bu’
the lO'/i-month period ended Sep
tember 30, 1938, resulted in net in
come of $14,031.
W. T. Piper, president-treasure!
of the company, reported to stock
holders the delivery of 1,374 “cubs’
in the last fiscal year, compared
with 631 in the previous 101/
months, and asserted that 60 pei
cent of all light planes sold in th(
first nine months of 1939 were
“cubs.”
“We estimate,” said Piper, “thai
our 1940 production will be aboui
2.500 units—nearly double the pasi
fiscal period. This is due to bettei
general business conditions, in
creased advertising, a stronger dis
tributor organization and, above all
new and improved models.”

Steel Rate to Rise
To 86.1 Per Cent
In Current Week
Institute Report Cites
5T.7 Per Cent Pace
1 Of Year Ago
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Steel mills
in America will operate at 86.1 per
cent of capacity this week, the
American Iron and Steel Institute
estimated today.
This compared with 85.7 per cent
in the preceding week and further
broadens the recovery from the
Christmas holiday lull of 73.7 per
cent of capacity.
A month ago output was at 91.2 per
cent and a year ago at 51.7 per
cent.
CLEVELAND. Jan. 8 (/P).—Steel
production the first week of 1940 re
bounded near the peak reached just
before the holidays lull.
The magazine Steel reported today
an operating rate of 86'a per cent
of capacity for last week. The pre
vious week dropped to 75 *2 per
cent. The preceding peak was 9012
per cent.
"Mills as a whole can see near
capacity business for the full first
quarter and in some cases for prac
tically all the first half," Steel said.
‘'Buying is light at the moment.
But consumers have not accumulated
| heavy inventories and most tonnage
shipped is going into use promptly.
This promises steady buying."
December pig iron production was
a record for that month. Its 3.767.605
tons represented a gain of 1.27 per
cent over the preceding month.
: Little railroad inquiry is current,
but distribution of orders was started
by the Delaware & Hudson's request
for 20 locomotives and Pennsylvania
Railroad's requirement of 50.000 tons
of rails.
The scrap price composite dropped
8 cents to $17.50. continuing s
steady decline from a high of $22.36
in October. The iron and steel com
posite is off one cent to $37.09.
Buffalo was the only district re
porting decreased production last
week. Its contraction of 7*2 points
to 67 per cent was caused by repair
work.
