UNFILLED STEEL ORDERS INCREASE March 31 Total 4,494,148 Tons; Largest Since Sep tember; Gain of 353,079. The unfilled orders on the United States Steel Corporation's books on March 31 were 4,494,148 tons, the largest since September, and an Increase of 353,079 compared with those of a reonth earlier. Tlie report was a com plete surprise to Wall Street and the steel Industry. A big Increase had been expected, but estimates of its extent ranged around 250,000 tons. Railroad buying was a very large factor In the sharp upturn. During the Quarter about 70,000 car orders, or approximately three times as many as those of 1921, were placed. Of the big total of unfilled tonnage, about 240,000 tons were placed on the last day of March, according to Informa tion obtained yesterday. All of it was for railroad equipment. The railroads had received from the equipment com panies bids based on 1.35 cent a pound for steel, and those companies were notified by the corporation that the price would be Increased on April 1 to 1.50 cents a pound. For that reason the orders for steel for car building, v.liich It had been intended to hold back until April 10, poured Into the corpora tion's offices on the last day of the month, accounting for close to 70 per cent, of the Increase. Tl\e following table gives the monthly ft ports of unfilled orders on the books of the corporation for the last two years: 1022 1921 1921 Jail 4,241,678 7,573.164 0.28.",.441 Feb 4,141,069 6,9.13,867 9,.">02.081 Mar 4.404,148 6,284.765 9,982,07.1 April 5,845,224 10,359,747 Mas' 5,482,487 10,940.4f>? ?lime 5,117,868 10.978,817 Jitlv 4,830,324 11,118,468 Au3 4,531,920 10.805.0.18 Sept 4,5?0,?70 10,."574,804 Oct 4,286,829 9,83(1,852 Nov 4,250,542 9,021,471 Dec 4,268,414 8,148,122 EMPIRE STEEL TAKEN OVER BY REPLOGLE CO.

Principal and interest payable at the banking house of Alex. Brown &? Sons, Baltimore, with out deduction for any tax or taxes which are or may be imposed by the United States, which the Company may be required by law to retain or deduct therefrom. Coupon bonds in denomination of $1,000. registerable as to principal only. THE CONTINENTAL TRUST COMPANY, BALTIMORE, TRUSTEE C. D. Emmons, Esq., President of the Company, has summarized as follows a letter describing these Bonds: BUSINESS?The United Railways & Electric Company of Baltimore was formed in 1899 by consolidation of all the street railway companies in Baltimore and vicinity, their tracks totaling about 339 miles. At the present time it operates more than 418 miles of track and a total of about 1100 cars, and serves a population of approximately 800,000. PURPOSE OF ISSUE?The proceeds of the sale of these Bonds are to be used to retire the $3,000,000 City and Suburban Railway Company First Mortgage 5% Bonds due June 1, 1922, to redeem the $1,500,000 The United Railways & Electric Company of Baltimore Ten Year Secured Gold Notes maturing January 15, 1931, and for the retirement in part of other corporate obligations maturing in 1922. DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE?The Bonds are issued under the First Consolidated Mortgage, dated March 6, 1899, and the principal, as well as interest at the rate of 4% per annum, is se cured by the lier^of that mortgage. Pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, the Company is to affix to the Bonds its obligations to pay additional interest at the rate of 2% per annum. thus making the total interest rate 6% per annum. The 2% additional interest will not be secured bv the First Consolidated Mortgage, but in the Supplemental Indenture the Company will covenant that it will not create any new mortgage upon any part of its property subject to the First Consolidated Mortgage unless such new mortgage expressly shall secure the payment of said additional interest obligations equally and ratably with any indebtedness secured by such new mortgage. SECURITY?Upon the retirement of the $3,000,000 City and Suburban Railway Company Bonds (provision for which is made in this financing) the First Consolidated Mortgage becomes a first lien on all of the property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company sub ject to only $5,550,000 underlying bonds for which an equal principal amount of First Consolidated Mortgage Bonds is retained by the Trustee. The mortgage, except for the provision for underlying bonds, is a closed mortgage. The underlying bonds cover less than 40% of the trackage operated by the Company and none mature before 1929. The bonds secured under this mortgage have been, for many years, legal investments for trust funds under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. "V. EARNINGS?Earnings of The United Railways & Elect ric Company of Baltimore during the past five years have been as f ollows: Net Earnings 'Interest on First Gross after Taxes but Consolidated Mortgage Times Year Earnings before depreciation 4% Bonds, etc. Earned Balance 1917 $10,656,938 $4,309,820 $1,849,425 2.33 $2,460,395 1918 12 012,763 4,012,489 1,852,990 2.17 2,159,499 1919 14,834,350 4,232,851 1,888,703 2.24 2,344,148 1920 17,434,339 5,129,757 1,939,345 2.65 3,190,412 1921 16,437,045 4,761,604 2,079,014 2.29 2,682,590 This item includes not only the interest on First Consolidated Mortgage 4c'( Bonds, but also rentals, interest on underlying bonds, sccured notes (now to be retired) and equipment bonds. As may be seen from the above table, net earnings during this five year period, Avail able for rentals and interest items set forth, have averaged $4,489,304 per annum or about 2.34 times such average annual requirements. Since the proceeds of the present financing are for refunding purposes, increase in interest charges resulting therefrom will alter this ratio very slightly. FRANCHISES?Practically all of the Company's franchises in the streets of Baltimore are per petual as more fully explained in a letter, dated April 8, 1922, describing these Bonds. THE ABOVE BONDS ARE OFFERED FOR SUBSCRIPTION AT 97% AND INTEREST, YIELDING ABOUT 6%% Subscription books will be opened at the banking house of Alex. Frown & Sow-. Baltimore, at 9 o\lock .4. A/., April 11, 1922. In making allotments, priority as set forth in a circular, dated April 10, 1922, (available on application) will be given to holders of cer tain maturing obligations of the Company. The right is reserved to reject any application and to allot smaller amounts than applied for (except as to priorities mentioned), and to close subscription books without notice. This issue is dependent upon the approval of the Public Service Commission of Maryland. Delivery of Definitive Bonds, or Temporary Botuis, is expected about April 24, 1922.
