REDUCED OUTPUT
 FOR IRON TRADE

New York December 1S-Althbugh A dominating influence in the steel trade is apparently committing majority of thel manufacturers of finished steel products to B policy of restricted competition and reduced output to maintain prices, there Is strong sentiment against such action among the manufacturers themselves. Most of the large consumers of material naturally hold the same belief as the recalcitrants in the steel trade. In con sequence they are withholding orders in anticipation of change in policy.
 They say prices will be no higher in the near future, and there Is no advantage in placing orders except to meet mme- diate requirements. With the mills work ing at less than half capacity, there is no danger that shipments cannot be secured when required and concessions may be made later which will encourage the plac- ing of contracts covering long period
 The railroads show no disposition to re- lease contracts for equipment immediate ly, and they are more concerned about the quality of rails than the price to be developed on other material
 The New York Central has placed some experimental orders, prior to distributing it's contract for 140,000 tons for 1911. Other rail orders placed last week were for small lots, aggregating about 10000 tons.
 Orders for fabricated structural steel last week were light. but specifications aggregated about 150O0 tons. It is ex- pectedYthat December will deevlop orders for about 10000 tons, which will make the total for the year 900 tons, which wa exceeded in both 1909 and 1906
 Buying of pig iron in all distributing markets has been reduced to the mini-. num- Prices, too, of foundry grades are at the lowest point of the year with few exceptions. No large contracts of any kind came to the surface last week, and the total of small orders was scarcely 30,- non tone in al SectiOps

 They argue that If the bill Is made a law as 1t stands. Uncle Sam will get all the long hauls, where losses are incurred. while the express companies will get the advantage of the short hauls, as they will be able to quote cheaper rates. In support of the statement they cite, take the following example,:
 Suppose merchant in New York city ,;esires to ship 10-pound parcel to Buff falo. The rate by parcels post would oe 79 cents, while the express company would carry 1t for 50 cents.
