Corey of U S Steel Sees Bright Outlook After Taft Victory
William F. Corey president of United States Steel Corp just back from a two month Europe trip voiced optimism about the business outlook. He credited Taft’s nomination with restoring confidence and predicted a quick pickup in activity and a near-normal condition by next spring. He noted steel prices likely to rise from current levels and dismissed rumors of an Anglo American steel cartel as imaginative. He also said international sentiment toward American securities had improved since Taft’s nomination and Europe’s steel trade suffered less than the U S.

The Public Service Commission refused to approve two mortgage plans by the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad and Nassau Electric Railroad, totaling $25 million. Commissioner McCarroll warned the scheme evades the law by using demand certificates to back long term bonds, challenging the commission’s supervision of capitalization. Both mortgages dated March 23, 1907, would fund property improvements and debt payments, but the commission favored systemic safeguards over investor convenience.
