In spite of the efforts of steel
makers to keep production up to the
maximum, the output shows a de-
cided tendency to decline. This is
the more aggravating because the
facilities for making steel are con-
stantly expanding. Thus 1.-The Iron
Age" reports that the output in Au-
gust was 4,772 tons a day, against
1O7,S2O tons in July, though the fur
naces in blast at the end of the
month had a daily capacity exceeding
by GIT tons capacity in blast at the
end of July. Production for the first
eight months of this year was 49,
900 tons below the output in the cor
responding period last year, in spite
\ of the fact average capacity of fur
naces in blast on the first Of each
month this year was considerably
larger than a similar average for
1915. The explanation OF the de-
ficiency of output in the face of an
increase in productive plant is to be
found in the shortage of coke, the
lack of which has forced many fur
naces to suspend operations from
time to time. There is also short
age of iron ore shipments so far this
year, being 2.692,31O tons smaller
than last year. Unless conditions
improve materially it seems likely
that the governments requirements
of steel will be filled only by stary-
ing private consumers.

Money and Credit

Improvement in the position OF the
local banks was reflected yesterday
when the rate for call loans at the
Stock Exchange, which had ruled at
per cent all day Monday, fell back TO
ner cent. 1t was apparent early IN the
dav that efforts taken by banking lnsti-
tutions TO build up their reserves were
proving successful, and as a result
practically no calling Of loans was re-
uorted. Interior banks had funds to
lend here yesterday. As is usually the
case, high money rates here are at
tracing money from outside. The
flow of funds from the interior to New
York is expedited now through the
medium of the Federal Reserve banks.
1t was stated in Wall Street yester-
day that in order to relieve the local
money situation funds sequestered in
the shape of loans to the Allies have
been temporarily deposited by the gov
eminent in certain of the New York
banks. An estimate placed the total
of such deposits at approximately $780,

say either that pounds are at discount

is owing to the fact that in England

One explanation advanced for the
break was that it was caused by
LIQUIDATION of railroad securities
pledged as collateral for loans to
the Allies, but it was said in respon-
sible quarters that no such liquida-
ton was taking place at present. 1t
is probable that large blocks of these
securities were sold some time ago,
when prices were higher, but it is
altogether unlikely that the Allies
agents would press them for sale at
a time when such action could only
result in a drastic downward revision
of prices, especially as there is no
necessity for doing so.

Wednesday, September S, 1917.

The days developments on the
Stock Exchange were interesting
chiefly because Of the striking con-
trast with the decentralization which
prevailed during the preceding
session. While signs of scat
tered liquidation were still IN
evidence, it was apparent that
the wave of selling had tenn
porarily spent its force, and every
attempt to force prices down was
met by strong institutional buying.
Profit taking by those who had sold
short for the fall was also an i'm
rortant factor in the recovery, which
in many cases was sufficient to offset
the preceding days losses. Money
was considerably easier and eXerted
a favorable influence on prices.
