Metals

The slight revision of iron and steel
prices officially announced from Wash
ington last Tuesday, to take effect April
l, had been generally anticipated. Some
iron and steel interests express disap-
pointment, however. that the term Of
price agreement has been again linn
tied to three months. They had hoped
that the time would be extended to at
least six months in order to conforcl
more closely to contract terms. The
action taken by the government is
generally held to mean that prices may
be lowered at d later revision next
July.
The movement of coke has been
freer, but considerable tonnage has
been diverted to certain steel makers
holding government contracts Foundry
operations have suffered in conse-
Quence, and iron is scarce. Meters,
With government work on hand, pro-
test that they cannot get the iron be-
cause the furnaces, in their turn, are
unable to secure the coke. Compare
lively little new business has been
placed for the second half, as pro-
ducers are not in a position to under
take it.
Consumption of copper has been
heavy, but distribution to private con-
Germs has been limited and subject to
some delay. Lead holds firm for imme-
diate delivery in New York, but some
accumulation in the West has weak
ened the market for futures Tin Is
hard to get. Chinese is the only grade

COTTON GINNING EARLIER

There seems to be no doubt that
the cotton season is more advanced
than last year, and also that the
farmers have ginned more rapidly.
The ginning reports to November
1st, 1917, only showed STOP bales
while the reports for this year show
10402 bales, or twice as many as
last year.
The crop this year is larger than
last, but not nearly enough to &C
count for this big difference shown
in the ginning reports:
The above figures are official OBJ
tanned from Mr.. John H. McElreath,
who is cotton enumeration for the
county.
