Operations at leading steel mills

apt to fall ~ the slightly more cheerful
sentiment Of producers indicates any
degree OF Improvement in the volume Of
buying in the near future. Some good
plate tonnages are looked Tor from car
manufacturers.

The probability OF more general wage
reductions following those already made
by some OF the smaller companies has
been widely discussed, and the point Is
not overlooked that under present con-
ditions such reductions might easily mean
fresh concessions in selling prices, Thus
far no wage changes have been reported.

THE MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS,

Points Htgher-Provtsious Lower.

Trading interest In coffee was a, low ebb
yesterday. which was evidenced by the
very narrow range within which prices
moved. The European cables indicated q
ike situation at Havre and Hamburg, and
they failed TO induce action by local in
terests. An opening decline of s to 8
points was due to the fact that Hamburg
was little lower than due. In the early
trading there was a fair amount Of cof-
fee offered. but this was readily absorbed.
and then the opening decline was recov-
cred
There was fsrther switching from May

closed point lower TO points higher

NEAR MONTH SITUATION

Cotton was dull and irregular yesterday.
with further weakness In the FIRST half
hour. followed by nervous fluctuations.
with the close on tho old crop months
around Tuesdays Anal prices. while new
crop positions showed a small net gain for
the day. There was an attempt to ham
mcr the market in the early trading and
straggling lots OF long cotton were dis
lodged. The support was furnished chiefly
by local covering. but was sufficient to
prevent any additional weakness The
rather shsrp rally in the new crop months
WAS caused by buying chisay for short
account, but At any rate disclosed =
stronger situation In these options than
WAS believed to exist.
The Mexican situation has no particu-
lar bearing ON cotton. with the possible
exception Of the new crop. Texas relies
TO some extent upon Mexican labor, not
only for picking but for cultivation in the
southern, southwestern and western por-
lions. 1t is believed that &c hostilities
should actually break out Mexican
laborsrs would be driven out of the State
and scarcity OF labor would become an i'm
portant factor IN reducing the cotton crop
OF Texas
There 10 considerable confusion over
tbs situauon In the old crop months.
Thsts u probably some scattered long
interest Up May, built UP ON the expecta-
ton that this month would be put TO "A
bi9 uranium over July on account Of the
disicuity Of getting cotton here. Two or
three weeks ago II was rumored that a
combination OF southern spinners had
been formed TO lake UP cotton ON May
contracts. 1t is now reported that these
interests have sold out large part OF
their long holdings and bought their cot
ton In the South on more satisfactory
basis. About 1900 bales of cotton also
arrived from Liverpool for delivery In
Nay. and IL 10 stated that several thou
sand bales more will be sent here. The
local certincated stock is now close 20
$4,000 bales, and 1t is predicted thai 4,
