STEEL TRADE WATTS
ON PRICE QUESTION
Coming Conference Considered
Significant--No Hope of
Early Announcement
NEW YORK. Sept. 81


About the only important development in
the steel trade during the last week has
been the call from washington to Judge
Gary and others 20 como to a conference
which was held on Friday. and at which the
question Of prices came up.
II Is the opinion that the next metal 20
be settled will he steel, and the conference,
therefore, was considered significant I'm the
trade. However, no one holds out any hope
that an announcement will be made for sew
eral weeks at least.
Production at the steel plants is not being
rushed. mainly because of tie difficulty
OF setting a sufficient supply OF fuel. The
companies which are compelled to purchase
in the open market are finding many OBJ
stacles in their way I'm getting "a proper
stock OF coal on hand.
In the first place, the demand is unusually
large for fuel, and then also the railroads
are finding that they CnrnOt supply tie cars
with which 20 haul Il. In view Of these
circumstances the manufacturer of steel
cannot work at capacity even il no cared TO-
There is some domestic buying Of steel
products, but the quantities taken are neg
ligible in comparison with what was done
AT this time year ago. However. II is
considered likely that the user Of steel will
not become active In tine market until the
Government announces its price and it's
probable requirements
Government buying has been fairly large
during the last week. among other prod
ucts taken being sheets in fairly good guam
titles However. some big orders are being
held up and are piliug in the various de-
partments of the Government, and lead
ing steel trade authority states that when
these are released the market will be given
a stimulus such as II has not encountered
in several months.
Rails for use in France are now being
delivered to the Government and the
greater part Of this business has now been
supplied. This has resulted in large guam
titles Of nuts. bolts aua accessories being
taken with other business expected to fol-
low.

There is now one automobile Or mo-
tor truck TO every % persons in the
United states, while a year ago the
ratio was one to AZ.
Breaking all records for increases
by a gain of over million cars and
trucks in a year. the total registra-
ton at the end OF 1916, excluding all
duplicates. was S,541.7SS, the gain for
the y months totaling I.070,14S. or
A percent, as compared with the end
Of 1915 The gain during the entire
year of 1915 was only 6S6,99S, so that
the increase last year was nearly
double the highest preceding record
y striking illustration of the phe-
nOmenal growth that has taken place
is the fact that, whereas only eight
states were entitled TO the credit OF
having passed the 100000 mark in
registration at the end of 1915. the
close of the past year found Is states
was the only state with over 100000
cars in 1915, but only four others,
OHIO. Illinois, Pennsylvania and Cali
fornia have Joined what might be
characterized as the superdistin--
guiShed class, while Texas is credited
with only 2313 less than this number
For the first time registration sta
uSticS for Texas are available, reports
OF the individual county clerks with
whom the cars and trucks are regis
tered having been complied, showing
a total of 1857 motor vehicles in
use in the state at the end of 1916.
Last year. when only estimates were
available on Texas registrations, the
state was credited with only 10000.
Reports of the county clerks show
that this figure should have been
137.SO7.

been gaining ground. and Oklahoma
