BUYING OF STEEL
SHOWS NO LET-UP
Many Important Railroads Are
in Market for 1918 Re-
quirements

Buying of steel prodGcts has not abated
to any extent, according to hest-nformed
steel authorities. and, In fact, the last week
has witnessed a greater demand for some
products and more prospective business in
sight. The leading feature of the market
at present Is in the demand for steel rails.
Many OF the more important roads are in
the market for 1918 requirements and de-
spite the high prices prevailing the opinion
IS general that there will be no material de-
cline In the volume OF orders TO be booked
for 1918 In comparison with those taken
for 1917.
II is explained. in the steel trade that
the railroads of this country had been
holding off making the necessary repairs
to their roads because OF high prices and
the abnormally large tonnage they were
called upon to handle in recent months for
the movement of freight In all sections OF
the country, The arrangements OF the varl-
Gus roads apparently had been hoping for
lower steel prices and a let-up In the heavy
movements over their lines but these two
conditions have not materlalized' and the
result has been that they are now forced
to cover their requirements in order TO
keep the efficiency OF the roads as high as
possible.
Further advances In price for various
products were made during the last week.
This is especially true OF the pig iron mar
ket. which is showing increased excitement
from week TO week Large consumers ara
buyers of iron and the foFeign countries
also are In the market for additional lots.
France and Italy have taken Great Brit
aims place as the leading European In
terests in the market at the moment but
the latter also Is said to be inquiring for
large round lots.
Some officials OF steel comrRnies ara
maintaining that the present situation II
causing them anxiety, due 10 the ract that
the demand from week to week Is larger
than the production, and there is still much
sitting out 10 be done In order TO supply
the steel TO those who are IN the greatest
need OF II.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-SellinE of wheat con-
tinued this morning and prices lost further
ground. More acute congestion of railway
facilities, expectations of further restric-
tiOns by railroads and the approaching ses-
slon OF Congress. where the embargo ques-
ton will be taken up, were against higher
prices.
December opened at S1.66 to S1.65&
against St.67 at the end yesterday, and
sold at S1.65h May started at Sl74 to
2i.73h, compared with S1.74, yesterdays
last price and receded to $l72%, from
which 1t rallied to s1.73; July was quoted
at s1.41A to Sl.40 at the outset, COM
pared with Sl,42h, yesterdays final quo
tati0n. but later improved to S1.41h
The market at Liverpool was stronger on
disappointing worlds shipments for the
week. Exporting countries other than
America are not contributing the guam
titles that had been expected and the lack
OF room on vessels is being felt severely.
The harvest in Argentina, which Ia being
extended, is even poorer than had been pre-.
dicted
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 9i7 cars, against 1899 cars a
year ago at Winnipeg. 933 cars, compared
with l5I3 cars; at Chicago, l67 cars con-
trasted with &C cars.
Liquidation was stlll under way In the
coarse grains, which were easier. although
prices abroad were sustained. Receipts of
corn here today were 4l5 cars and of oats
$40 cars.
