THE STEEL MARKET

The cur.aiment of operations In GER
tain departments at the United States
Steel Corporation mills at Farrell. Pa.
tends TO confirm the assertion that current
buying OF steel In running 80 per cent
lighter than month ago. Prices are not
being held SO firmly as they were In
January and February. due TO the fact
that business booked thus far in March
has fallen we'll below the anuc!pations of
producers.
The Daily Iron Trade Repte,c says ::
FINISHED steel market in central West

sence OF buyers from market especially

Regarding the situation abroad william
Jacks & Co, iron and steel merchants OF
Glasgow, write under date OF March As
follows:
THE heavy tone has continued during
this week In the pig Iron market, ana a
very small business has been done. the

tically stationary. and we close to-day

blown in at Glengarnock, while at earn

Advance Information,

One feature OF the movement In the
STOCK market yesterday which differen-
oated II from other upturns OF the kind
IN the immediate past was the persistent
circulation OF rumo-s OF impending good
news from Washington. At first these re-
ports we're extremely vague. but they were
industriously circulated and there was
much speculation IA to what they had
reference 70. Later In the day the rumors
became more circumstantial and several
houses announced to their clients that
they had reason to believe that within
thirty-six hours the Interstate Commerce
Commission will announce the date on
Whlch decision on the rate case will be
handed down" There was no partIcular
reason why these reports should have
been considered any more seriously than
such rumots usually are. Wall Street Is
sophisticated enough TO know that i'm
portant news developments don't happen
mat way or Mt least that such great car.
IL not taken to keep II posted But as a
possible reflection on the state OF the
speculative account they were interesting.
Some people took them as evidence OF
the beginning Of a capitalization OF spec.
ulatlve sentiment on the long side OF the
market. Incidentally II may be observed
that the only real news in regard to the
activities OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission during the day was the choice
OF Commissioner Harlan as chairman to
serve one year.

II has always been a most ticklIsh
matter TO estimate the amount of bust
ness in stocks here originating in the
London market. At best such estimates
can be little more than guesses. for even
should Il be established beyond doub.
that orders for the purchase or sale OF 80
and 40 many thousand shares have been
cahled over. there Is always the posi-
hlity that these orders may have had
their origin with local spectators. And
yet hardly day passes that II Ia not
reported that London has bought or sold
quite respectable amount OF stocks in
this market. II the figures are TO be
believed II would appear that London
spectators latterly have been doing more
business IN this market than they have
been doing In their own. Reports from
the other side say that there II practically
no market at all In Americans Capel

In narrow trading market like that
which has been seen recently the problem
confronting the day 20 day trader Is in
creased, because he must catch the ex-
tremes OF these narrow swings 20 make
money. But the swings themselves
are caused by the activities OF the pro-
fessionals. Therefore tho successful
Spectator must always be n little ahead
of the pack. One room trader who has
come TO the conclusion that under the
circumstance the best thing TO do II to
avoid company has evolved new scheme
of operation. He no loreer seeks
the crowds where the majority is attempt
ing to buy or sell. Instead he waits
until he finds speculator who acts on
preconceivcd ideas as to the course Of
prices rather than on the mere feel" Of
the market When the theorist buys he
sells, and vice versa.
