Unreasonable weather Is tho chief cause

no actual reduction in the crops is yet
assured. sufficient uncert ainty has an
l'earcd Ia render dealers in the farming
districts somewhat cautious rcgs riding the
accumulation of supplies beyond current
requirements.
Structural shapes have taken the posi-
ton of prominence in the iron and steel
industry. Building operations that were
retarded by Indictment weather are now
under way.
