PRICE MOVEMENT
in COMMODITIES
Another Drop in Wheat
Corn and Oats Gain
Coffee Lower.

Increasing pressure Of wheat on the
market caused another reduction IN the
local quotations yesterday, but there
was a recovery later, based on reports
Of a loss of 100000 bushels in the
Canadian crop. Last figures we're = ~
&c under those Of Tuesday. Corn con-
tinued its upward career, with small
stocks the principal reason for the ad-
vance. An authoritative estimate was
made public giving the production in
the eight leading surplus states about
33. 100000 bushels less than the gov
eminent estimate. Renewed reports
that England had taken practically all
the surplus oats of the Canadian crop
caused frmness here, and the market
gained @sMAc net.
There was considerable heaviness
about trading in coffee on the Front
81. curb, and in the cash market Rio IS
declined about y. In futures there was
very little business, and the September
option sold down to 7.75c.

STEEL TRADE is CAUTIOUS
War Throws Contract Held
Abroad Into Home Mills.
1.-THE Iron Age" will say to-day:

"The Iron Age" will say to-day:
THE steel trade Is moving cautious
~ in a situation full of uncertainties.
The ultimate benefits war will bring 10
our manufacturers are producing one
set of predictions and prompting one
kind of business policy, such as the
putting up of prices Of steel products.
On the other hand are unfavorable ef-
fects which figure in the immediate
situation-the stopping of exports,
the laying off Of thousands Of men in
industries dependent in part on the
export trade, the hating of a number
Of undertakings, the tightening Of
money and the increase of conserya-
tism in railroad buying.
"War advances in food and various
commodities have come in and are a
check on the consumption Of steel as
of other products. There is little evil
dence that Buyers are concerned about
building up stocks. The whole CON
Stunning trade specified quite literally
in July. and there has been light buy
ing al the new prices. Mill operations
have been cut down in few cases be-
cause Of the shutting off of foreign
trade.
"All pig iron markets are fiat, with
indications that foundry operations
have been curtailed a. some machinery
centres"
"The Iron Trade Review" says:
"The iron and steel industry con-
tinues 10 be marked by a period Of adj
justment 20 conform to the extraord.-
nary conditions that have upset the
commercial structure Of the country.
An interesting feature of the new bust
ness taken, however, has been the re-
covery by domestic manufacturers Of
considerable tonnage from Pacific
Coast buyers which originally had been
taken by foreign mills and had been
cancelled because OF war conditions.
This trade practically for the first time
now appears TO be completely under
the control of the home makers"
