ders secured. The only encouraging
feature ia the whole situation Is, that
there Is more inquiry. and therefore.
it may be inferred that buyers are
getting ready 20 make purchases.
The fact is well known, mat
stocks 10 consumers hands arc
very low, but consumers seem 70 be
in no haste 40 all 10 buy for the future.
The answer is almost universally given,
that the producing capacity OF mills
and furnaces is sufficient, and much
moro than sufficient, 10 meet any prob
able or even possible demand during
the next twelve months. NanuGac-
turers and promoters or new enter
prisss know very well that there will
be no unusual demand during the win
ter months. AMI especially while Imam
cial and economic questions are hang
ing FIRE at Washington. They, there
fore argue that nothing is 20 be gained
nv buying for fOrWerd account; that
snecuiation, besides being dangerous,
fs altogether unnecessary, and that the
only thing 10 do is 20 wait for the
gradual improvement OF business
