attend to two or more machines. The
employers state in tie rules that il is

| New York.

NBN IUlk. an 2pidemic of ultra con-
seryaism, emanating APP
parently from the theory that a sea
son of depression must come every ten
years, while the coincidence of Pres
idential election furnishes another
precedent. As a result stocks of mer-
chandise have been reduced, railway
traffic is lessened, preparations for fu-
ture business are curtailed and less
money is distributed in the form of
wages; while those having capital to
invest confine their attention to the
highest classes of bonds or hold back
for still lower security prices. All
these factors have combined to pro-
duce a reduction entirely out of pro-
portion to the natural readjustment
that was really started by abnormally
high prices of raw materials and other
excessive costs of production resulting
in accumulation OF goods that could
not be sold at a profit.
The Iron and Machinery World, the
organ of the Western metal trades,
say > III ltS 1SSu6 last McSh.
Either the iron and steel markets
in the West have improved or the
trade has become accustomed to the
dullness The tone is certainly better.
Business is not comparable with what
it was year or two ago, but there is
a disposition to accept the present
modified orders with a reconciled
spirit
Several conditions are persistent.
One is that users of almost all kinds
of metal material are buying in small
quantities. 1t is habit acquired dur
ing the declining markets and will per-
haps continue until an unmistakable
upward turn in values occurs. An
other feature is that the actual con-
sumption has been to some degree i'm
paired. But the wants of the country
cannot be permanently neglected and
there are some indications of an i'm
proved demand
In pig iron there is reported a slight
improvement in the demand. Foun-
drymen frequently report some letting
up in their own trade and the require
ments of the meters are not up to
their maximum capacities. But there
will be wanted for use during the last
half of the year a large quantity of
iron and livelier inquiry is appear
ing. The buyers are testing the mar
ket and it is evidence of the hardness
of present prices that no further re-
auctions are to be noted.
