carried prices above the level ci the real
demand.
There was general yielding of prices,
with frequent wide and teverish fluctua-
tions ON both sides, but the disturbance
centered in the metal group and the spec
ialties. To neutralize the effect of the
early depression there was for a time de-
cisive strength in some of the Trunk lines
and better buying throughout the rail-
road division, Norfolk & Western, the
Grangers, and Baltimore < Ohio advance
ing point and over, but after 2 o'clock
a good deal OF stock came out on the 1e-
covery, with the result that nearly all
the gains soon melted away, the indus
trials reacting to new low prices toward
the close.
Chairman Gates, OF the Board of Di-
rectors OF the American Steel and Wire
Company, is quoted as saying the cause
Of the shut down was slack business and
that tine reports to the effect that the
steel trade was suffering from overpro-
duction were true. the mills which
suspended operations have daily pro-
duction OF from three to four thousand
tons.
In striking contrast to these pessimis-
tic utterances is statement made by
director of the Federal Steel Company,
who said: 'Business is certainly not
slack with us and there has been no
overproduction. Everything is satisfac-
tory and we have orders Just as far ahead
as it is healthy to have them-that is,
eight months in some cases. | don't
know what the American Steel and Wire
| Conn any fines. Thti II product is further
| finished down than ours. At Chicago we
convert our pig iron into railroad iron
and boiler plate, At Milwaukee We make
par iron aud bar steel, and at Joliet we
make ingots, biiets and rods None of
! these with the execution of billets and
! rcds Is converted in.o the product OF
fhe Amprican Steel and Wire Company.
Bat il Mr. Gates tinas that he has over
produced, well, never mind that, ! don't
care tp discuss Gates business. We are
perfectly satisfied wththe present condi-
tiMls and Tie future outlook Of the larger
sphefes Of tie IRON and Steel industry in
