American In a tone Of profound medi-

STEEL INDUSTRIES
DECLINE NEAR END

Hornblower & Weeks offer some in
teresting comparisons between the re-
cent decline in the steel industry with
similar movements in the past. They
say:
Whether the October untitled tom
mage figures Of the Steel Corporation
mark the bottom of the decline in that
industry may perhaps more intelligent
ly be determined by comparison of
the percentage and decline in orders
and in pig iron prices with two prevf-
Gus movements, 1908 and 1907. The
highest untitled tonnage figures since
September 20. 1907, were those for De-
cember 81. 1909, 5.927.031. From this
total to today's total there is de-
cline of 3,056.o91. or SPA per cent.
This compares with the decline of
$3.50 per cent from December 81, 1906
(S.489,71s). to June 80, 1908 (3,313,S76)
and it compares with a decline of 44.05
per cent from March 81. 1903 (5,410,719),
to September 80, 1904 (3.027,436).
From the above it is obvious that
the 1907 decline in the steel industry
went much further but lasted no long
er than the 1903-1904 decline, the de-
i cline covering a period of eighteen
months in each case. From last years
nlSn mark until To-Day, OF course, lack
| two months of year. so that in point
| of duration, the decline has not gone
nearly so far as 1T did in 1907 to 1905
but it has gone substantially further
than the decline of 1908 to 1904. Pig
iron prices also point an interesting
comparison from the high of last
November s19.OS per ton. they have de-
clined to $15.SS or 1917 per cent. This
compares with decline from 1888 in
July, 1903, to $14.40 December. or %. 9
per cent, and compares with decline
from $24.35 in July 1907 to $3.50 in
December. 1907, or 17.15 per cent TAX
| ing the decline from July of this year
there has been practically no change In
pig iron, prices in July standing at
$3.50"
While there is some show of differ
ence on the part of the railroads about
when they shall place their renewal
orders for steel rails, it is certain that
| this business is in store for the steel
| companies, and more or less business is
now under negotiation. An eastern
road is about to enter the market for
$4,000 tons of rails, and the Lacka-
wanna road today announced that it
about to purchase 5000 to 200
tons of rails. This order will not be a
part of the Lackawanna's regular
schedule for 1911 requrements, but is
a separate order for use by the Lacka-
wanna Railroad of New Jersey.
