T MARKET STRONG.
Close with . 40 to 81 Point Net
Gain for Day.

Gain Tor Day.
A further reaction during yesterdays
early trading was followed by q sharp
recovery in the cotton market. January
contracts sold up from 2s.esc. to acc,
and closed at 2s.e5c.. against 1928, the
closing price of Friday. with the gen.
eral list closing strong at a net advance
Of 10 to 81 points
The market was under considerable
pressure during the earlier trading. The
disappointlngly small export of the last
week seemed to stren sthen r~eactionary
sentiment and there was some scattered
Southern selling. which probably in.
creased the expectation OF low grade
shipments IN that direction. The open
ing was steady at a decline of Z points
TO an advance OF Is points, but the mar
ket soon weakened and the break extend.
ed some 80 to 40 points below Friday,
closing figures There were scattered GOV.
ering and trade buying which absorbed
tho offerings on a scale down, while
Southern selling vas not active enough
to suggest any real weakness In the spoj
situation, and as soon as the moro ur.
gent offerings had been absorbed thu
market turned frmer. Demand broad.
ened on the advance not only as n re.
suit OF covering but owing to an ap.
parent Increase In the foreign trade in.
terest. Brokers win Japanese connec.
tons were among the more prominent
buyers. while there was also buying fol
Liverpool account and for the French
Commission. March sold up from
27.70c. to 2s.60c. and closed at 2S.55c.
with other months showing similar fluc.
tuations.

sheet shortage All Along Line.

At no time for n year has production
Of sheets approached requirements for
ordinary peace purposes n as n result
there IL an accumulated shortage all
along the line. Manufacturing consum-
ers, even II they do not have as yet a
tlll demand for their finished wares,
have enough to keep them busy, while
tobbers are almost absolutely bare OF
stocks. Thus the sheet mills are ex-
psrienclnE a demand distinctly an ac-
emulation OF war times, and different
from experience in some other branches
Of the finished steel trade. where de-
mand, IL It has accumulated, cannot so
promptly express itself. The sheet mar
ket continues Arm at prices recently re-
dlced Blue annealed, 10-gauge, 1900. A;
black. oS-gauge, 4.T0c.; galvanized, 2S-
gauge, 7.05c. There is no prospect OF
any further revision in prices in the near
future, or at least for three months. and
there is a possibility that when prices
move again they will move upward, al
though very little thought Is given to
that phase.
Quotations have not been reduced at
IRE blast furnaces. and the market is
ftt quotable at the former level. In
cone iron and steel circles It Is said that
u" much talked Of SO reduction may be
mao" in the early part Of next month.
The furnace position is, as formerly, tina;
makers are sold up and ave no occasion
70 reduce prices. Several lots OF iron
raw" been offered for resale at a 50 re-
o%N'i'11. As an instance, several lots OF
FOUNDRY iron, ono running up to 10. 900
'o's and several lots of basic iron OF
~ and three thousand tons each. were
offered at sal and 30. respectively, Val
''' oasis. Frequently. as markets run,
resale iron makes a market, because II
represents price basis to which II Is plain
We furnacemen must come. In this in
t,"n'e the alignment is different. There
"fe special reasons for offering iron for
.sfa," AZ this time. growing out OF the
Iact that inventories must be taken at
nc hrst Of the year and profit statements
'3r the year compiled. There would be
ezra taxes to pay II Iron were carried
" Inventory at Government price. The
.I!''T might feel that before he needed
"use iron II would be procurable at the
I..nced price, but that would hardly DO
,uHIcl"nt for marking down the price on
~" inventory. II the loss is actually
'aEen by selling the iron during the cal
tnuaT year there can be no question.

Special De.patcA to THs srS.

P~rrrsBuRG, Dec. 2s.-There still seems
10 be an absence Of plans on the part
a, Individual steel companies in the d.
,,c,icn OF putting the proposed new form
AZ sales contract In effect January !,
or Indeed az any other date In the near
future. For n while there was talk OF
adoption OF the new contract January 1,
IN, II is now known that this will not
happen. Much discussion. however, has
h..n heard in trade circles regarding
,he subject. most of II in reference to
ths d~esirability or otherwise OF making
the change. The disposition generally
has been to argue from an academic
standpoint rather than from the view
po,nt Of how the thing can be done.
Some have thought that at this time,
when the producers are faced with the
necessity Of making many readjustments
IN billing prices by reason OF the de-
cline that has Just taken place in steel
PRODUCTS, there would be a particularly
Srcng sentiment In favor of adopting a
contract form that would not permit of
rch adjustments. One consideration
that helped move the steel producers to
make the recent reductions was that a
definite and precise basis was needed Tor
Inducing specifying oil contracts The
reductions furnish h guide for conces-
SONS when necessary.
When adjustments are made on old
contracts for finished steel they arc
limited strictly to the amount OF ma
teial a customer specifies The steel
mills desire made plain that there Is nc
resdjustments OF the contracts them
selves, SUIT only a concession as TO ma.
,erial ordered and specified. The NIL
may the concession at this time
but on the next order under the con-
trac, may refuse to make any adjust.
rsnt. but insist upon the full contract
prlco. The contract itself Is not altered
the tonnage shipped being simply de-
d-cted from tho total.
