EVIDENCE OF
RETURNING PROSPERITY.
Buyers Swarming to New York
Shows Manufacturers Feel
Sure of Good Times.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Signs of re-
turning confidence are to be seen on the
hotel registers all over the city, for the
buyers from out-of-town firms have
beer fockihg in of late, seemingly on
every train. A remarkable instance of
this is at one hotel, where from a single
st. Louis dry goods house twenty buy
ers are staying. In former years fifteen
buyers from the larger houses in the
West were usually the limit to be sent
here at one time, and in a presidential
year the number was much less. rs Il
rule.
In discussing this point, Frederick D.
DeBerard, statistician of the Merchants
Association Of New York, said it was
only in accord with reports from mer-
chants associations and business men
in many parts of the country. What
it means" he continued, SIS that there
is not al over-supply of manufactured
products in any one locality. Moreover,
the sending of so man. buyers to the
great centres like New York shows that
merchants expect a good year"

MEETS GUT IN
STEEL PRICES

NEW YORK, June 3.-The first open
reduction in steel prices since the asso-
eiated manufacturers under the leader
ship of the United States Steel corpor-
alton. organized last fall to maintain
stability of prices in the trade. has been
announced in a cut in steel bars from
$1.60 to LAC per hundred pounds. This
cut was made by the Carnegie Steel
Company of the United States Steel
Corporation as we'll as by the large in
dependent companies. like the Lacka-
wanna Steel Company.
The smaller manufacturers had for
some time been selling steel bars on
the basis of $1.40, and the cut mad by
the big producers yesterday was to
meet this competition. This reduction
was Immediately followed by a cut in
the price of small shapes, which, ac-
cording to custom in the steel trade,
are sold on the basis of bars. For years
the price of small shapes has stood at
ten cents above the price of steel bars.
and to preserve this relation these small
shapes were reduced yesterday along
with the price of bars.
