STEEL TRADE NEEDS
SHIPPING FACILITIES
Disappointing Production Last
Year Due to Lack of
Railroad Service
NEW YORK, Jan, II,

one of the crying needs of the steel
and iron industry is an increase in the
transportation facilities of the United
States, according to trade authorities,
who call attention TO the disappointing
production of 1917 as demonstration of
the lack of adequate railroad service.
The American Iron and Steel Institu-
sion report for 1916 showed total rated
capacity, in ingots and castings by all
processes, of 49.6l3.sss tons at the end
of 1916 and 45.7s7.7S0 tons at the end
Of 1917, SO the principal cause of the
steel mems chagrin over the 1917
production Is the amount by which II fell
below rated capacity.
The production of steel ingots and
castings In 1915 was 42,7736S0 tons and
the 1917 output was hardly more than
100000 greater. according to the
estimate of the Iron Age. while the
available capacity was several million
tons greater. The actual rate of the
output at the present time is probably
less than the average rate in 1916.

The cotton market opening was rather
quiet today and first prices showed IL
to 20 points net loss. Most of the SELL
ing came from Wall street houses and
was absorbed by brokers connected with
spot interests.
Both in the South and West, the wire
service was completely crippled. pre-
venting even official quotations from
the New orleans exchange from being
received
This explained some Of the dullness
which followed the opening. but there
was also a disposition to go slow be-
cause of the bill introduced in Con-
gress - stop future trading in cotton.
At the end of the first fifteen minutes
the market was quiet. with prices about
25 to 20 points net lower. Later the
market sustained severe drop under
further liquidation. prices selling 40
points under the close.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at $4,000 bales, compared
with 22605 bales week ago, and 49,
94G bales year ago.
