...would make during the second quarter of 1924. When recently the results of operation for the three months ending June 30, 1924, were announced, however, a more optimistic attitude was prompted. During this period, net earnings of the Steel Corporation were $41,381,039, or $3.44 on each common share, compared with net of $50,075,445 for the first quarter of 1924 and $47,858,181 in the second quarter...
...surprising stability of U. S. Steel earnings was attributed to the large unfilled orders on the Corporation's books, which have been very largely reduced during the past three months.
