The weekly statement of the Phila-
delphia Reserve Bank shows a ratio OF
total reserves to net deposit and reserve
note liabilities of 39.5 per cent. as COM
pared with AZ per cent the week before
and a new low point.
Notwithstanding unusually heavy re-
discounts on Thursday and yesterday
total bills on hand yesterday We're $751;
947,746. against $191 1,26O,173 on Novem-
ber l5, due to heavy maturfties during

Withdrawals of Government deposits last
Thursday, there was rediscounting of
approximately $40.000,000.
Gold reserve was reported at 1120,-
179.545. a new low point since the high
mark was touched, and compares with
Sl34,617.2S6 on November Is, with
$l30,635,848 on November 8 and $780,
S6i,S26 on NovembeH !.
A reduction in bills bought from $780,
26o,49l to $20,5S6,933 In view of the
low reserves reveals the possibility that
the Reserve Bank itself rediscounted
during the last week. as rediscounting
between the reserve banks Is frequently
accomplished through this Item.
Federal Reserve notes fen off slightly,
being 222,9o+S65 against s225,021, ,7sO.

BIG STEEL INTERESTS
LACK DEFINITE PLAN
Business at Standstill as In.
dustry Passes From War
to Peace Basis
New York, Nov. 2S.

Sew NOrh, NV. %.
Absence Of definite policy by the big
steel interests of the country, as the in
dustry passes into the period of transit
ton from war to a peace basis. has
virtually brought business to a stand
still. Orders from Washington. direct
ing the cessation of work on Government
contracts, have been numerous though
actual cancellations have been limited.
These orders to stop work, however. are
regarded as tantamount to cancellations
for. once such operations are halted.
there is an extremely small chance of
them being resumed
Failure of the big steel interest to
make known any definite policy follow
ing the new conditions created by the
signing of the armistice has resulted in
a waiting attitude on the part of con-
sumers to place orders The course of
the steel men has left the situation filled
with uncertainties for the consumer,
and at the same time the latter sees
possibilities of lower prices. Under such
circumstances, the consumer cannot be
expected to increase his Inventories Of
raw materials, which would entail
heavy loss were prices to drop.
