Metals

The outside steel market continues
quiet, but improved traffic conditions
are sending a greater volume of steel
into consumption on specifications.
Federal requirements, especially for
ship steel, promise to be exceptionally
heavy during the next few months. In
the meantime priority will be given
plates over all other steel, and pro-
ducers have been asked to be prepared
to deliver 100 per cent of orders.
The mills are now turning out a gen
eral tonnage heavier than ever before,
but the government will consume over
rs per cent of the production.
The output of pig iron during March
was considerably increased over the
first two months of the year, but the
production for the quarter fell far be-
low that for the like period of 1917.
No new business Of consequence was
placed during the week, though the in
quiries indicated a steadily growing
demand with no iron to satisfy. Not
withstanding increased operations, the
hind their. orders. They are we'll sold
up over the third and fourth quarters.
Many foundries have been obliged to
close for want Of iron, and others are
operating from day to day as mate
rial arrives.
Receipts of coke have improved, but
have been somewhat irregular and in
sufficient to meet requirements.
Lead is quieter and easier than a
week ago. Spot stocks in New York
have practically disappeared, but ar
rivals have been sufficient to provide
for the needs Of consumers.
The production and distribution of
copper are about equally balanced, and
the market is one of routine.
Tin keeps growing scarcer and
higher. with very small offerings fvom
spot Chinese is now about SO cents,
and April shipment from Hong Kong
is held at TIN cents. No Banka or

Cereals


Wheat.-Splendid rains over the en-
tire wheat belt west of the Mississippi
pi River extending from the Gulf to
the Canadian border, were looked upon
as highly favorable for the best in
terests of the new wheat crop. Ap-
rarently the crop is getting started
under unusually auspicious conditions
and, while many things may yet hap
pen before the wheat is harvested,
every gain at this time is just so much
IN favor of large harvest. Receipts
at primary points continued light
throughout the week and apparently
farmers are not marketing their grain
with any more freedom. although the
efforts of the food administration to
bring about improvement in this re-
spect may become evident next week.
Corn.-lnterest in the corn market is
centred almost entirely on the pro-
posed new contract in the West, where
tEe Chicago Board of Trade was vot-
ing on the question of radical change.
The new contract provides for the de-
livery of No. corn containing 1876 per
cent Of moisture and also removes the
maximum price. Trading in this con-
tract, however, will not be inaugurated
until some future date, to be decided
upon by the board, and will not affect
the old contract. 1t seemed to be the
prevailing impres that trading will
be started in either the June or July
position and that the price will be
somewhere around $1.4O. 1t was also
believed that under these conditions
the price of the May position is likely
to go to the maximum figures of S1.28,
and on this theory commission houses
and shorts were good buyers.

Oats.-Sentimen in the oats market
was divided between the good cash de-
mand both for domestic use and for ex-
port and the favorable prospects for
the new crop. The market on Satur-
day was feverish and, after moving
ncrvously within a range of about %c,
closed 1sc to 1ac net higher. Splendid
rains occurred over a large part of the
oats raising states and some leading
traders are inclined to believe prices
will decline, because they think farmers
will sell their old crop before the new
is available. Reports that Chicago will
vote on a new contract in short time
had tendency to discourage selling,
however, and there was a tendency to
even-up outstanding accounts.

Here is a little war service anyone
qualified to give it can render his
country without cost and with very lit
tie trouble.
The War Department wants photo
graphs, drawings and descriptions of
cities, towns, bridges, buildings and
localities of those parts of France. Bel
GUM and Luxembourg now occupied
by the German forces, and Of that part
of Germany west of a line drawn north
and south through Hamburg.
The department wants just as many
such photographs and drawings as it
can get. People who have travelled
abroad are especially asked to look
through their souvenirs to see if they
cannot find pictures or descriptions.
They are not asked to classify or sort
their material, nor does it matter If
there are two or more pictures of the
same town, place or bridge. Just put
the whole bunch in a package, and
send to Col. A. B. Coke, 1856 Fifteenth
street. Washington, D. C.
