LAST OF THE STEEL
FOR N. Y. SUBWAYS
Altogether 100000 Tons, Cost
ing S33.OO0.000.

A Pittsburgh mill has just received
an order for 100 tons Of structural
steel, TO be used in the building of the
Fifty-ninth Street section of the New
York subway. This completes the pdr-
chases of steel needed in the construc-
ton of the various sections now in
operation and under contract. The
total steel ordered TO date amounts to
$4,000 tons, including 100000 tons
utilized in the building of the original
line. The cost Of this steel delivered
to the contractors at New York has
been s25,5OO 900, based upon an aver
age price OF $50 a ton (. o. b. New
York. The cost Of the steel used in
the initial road was 3 cents pound.
The contracts for the sections built
by and under construction for the
dual system have been much lower
from Ia to pa cents a pound. Were
the steel contracts placed to-day the
cost would be approximately S3s,25O,-
600.
The third-tracking and extension Of
the Second, Third and Ninth Avenue
elevated lines by the Interboro re-
auired $4,000 tons of steel, in addition
to the structural shapes and plates
used in building the subway and eie,
waited sections of the subways system,

Wheat.-After some hesitation yes
terday and a brief period of easiness
wheat prices shot upward with sensa-
tional speed, following the lead of Sep
TENDER contracts in Chicago, which rose
from S1.4S to S1.54, new high mark,
with amazing rapidity. IL was plain
that the strong cash situation has SUI
perseded crop conditions as the domi-
mating factor. As had been predicted
by some keen observers, the heavy sell
ing earlier in the week by big Western
interests had left the market in an
over-sold condition, and when shorts
tried TO cover they found practically
nothing on offer. Moreover they were
forced to bid against some of the big
gest cash interests in the country to
effect purchases. This great strength
in the cash position, 70 which we have
made frequent illusions in the past, be-
came even more pronounced yesterday,
partly because OF the continued lively
competition between domestic buyers
and exporters TO secure the small Of
ferings of choice hard winter wheat.
Owing TO the remarkably small yields
in other parts of the country, and
notably in spring wheat territory. the
Southwest will be called upon to supply
an unusually large part of the domes-
tic as well as the foreign demand. Yes
terday's advices stated that the demand
from millers was more urgent than
ever and that they were generally out
bidding the foreign buyers. 1t was
noted that spring wheat millers were
decidedly anxious TO secure the hard
winter wheat. Even now a large por-
ton of the wheat arriving in Mime
apolis comes from the Southwest. For
this reason those who had sold Sep
TENDER contracts m Chicago became APP
prehensiye regarding the quantity that
is likely to be available for delivery on
their sales. Canadian crop adyices were
mixed, but the more important province
of Saskatchewan sent pessimistic adj
vices, whereas the lesser province of
Alberta sent more cheerful news. Liver
pool advices continued encouraging be-
cause of bad weather in Great Britain
as well as Argentina. Moreover, II is
feared that the weeks shipments TO the
British Isles from all countries will
again be inadequate.

Cotton

II has been many years since cotton
traders have had such q session as
Yesterdays was. Certainly, prices
have not gone through the Decent
level since 1911. 1t was big broad
market with everybody buying at
times, and frequently the price
changes between trades were unusu-
ally wide. 1t was almost wholly a
crop-scare market. and it seemed that
the outside speculative public had
taken it out of the hands of the regu-
lar cotton traders. At the outset de-
mand was stimulated largely by the
great strength in Liverpool, where
prices were up equal to 80 points.
Then, too, the weather map showed
continued dry weather in the South
west, leading to fears Of further mate
rial crop deterioration. In spite OF
liberal realizing by big holders, prices
sustained little, if any, setback, and IN
the afternoon the list showed advances
of from 81 to " points, or over So per
bale for the day. 1t was quite evident
that the majority of traders were I'M
pressed with the idea that our crop
will prove to be under 100000 bales.
or fully 100000 bales less than the
estimated requirements. Newspaper
adVlce5 gave very uhSablslaSeVi -
port for Georgia and the Carollnas,
and il was rumored that the National
Ginners' Association made the condi-
ton only 65.1, against 1928 in the last
official report, and 69.5 q year ago. The
advance this week has been the most
striking for such a brief period in
many years, and hence fears are ex-
pressed that perhaps the long interest
NAV be somewhat dangerously large.
AT any rate, numerous holders mani

Still, offerings were said to be small
