STEEL SHARES STRONG

Activity In Gambia steel was feature
Of the dealings on the local exchange
today. the quotation advancing more
than point at one time, but the gain
was not all maintained. Lake Superior
was also In demand at fractional gain.
Aside from these two issues the local
list was dull except for some little buy
ing OF Pennsylvania and the customary
trading in United States steel. Electric
Company Of America scrip made its ap-
peafance on the tape for the iirst time
selling at 10. United Gas Improvement
and Baldwin eased off. whereas Brill
moved up ~ at the close.
Tho strength OF the metal shares is
only natural and Keeps pace with the
rising tendency of pig iron as well as OF
finished products. Furnaces are we'll
sold up, and the inquiry now is sub
stantially as large for the first half Of
next year as It ia for the present year
There were rumors today that the Steel
Corporation had this week bought pig
iron IN the North. following its recent
purchases in the South. There are no
weak spots In the iron and steel markets
at present and some men In the trade
are even expressing fears OF runaway
market IN existing conditions continue,
Besides the foreign orders the domestic
demand for steel products Is good and
the mills are falling steadily behind in
the matter OF deliveries. Exports have
risen by leaps and bounds. The May ex-
ports were IL per cent. under the best
monthly record. while June exports were
l6 per cent beyond that record and eN-
ports now are believed to exceed a rate
of 100000 tons a year.
The local anthracite group relapsed
into stagnation today. The Street APP
proved the statement issued by l.. f.
Lorce, president OF the Delaware and
Hudson, regarding the Interstate Com
merce Commissions methods OF investi-
cation, but could not see that II was like
ly to have much effect Meantime the ac-
tivities of the miners unions has led
some of the big companies to look for
labor troubles next year, and they are
already beginning to store up coal. The
demands of the men are such that the
operators cannot accept them and. in
fact, they have failed on all similar oc-
casions to have some of them seriously
considered by the employers. For the
present the trade Is dull, but improve
ment is looked for shortly,
