OPERATIONS IN STEEL
AGAIN ON INCREASE
Effort Being Made to More
Closely Approximate Re.
quirements of Government
New York, Sept. "A.


No important. developments in the
steel situation came to light during the
past week. There were no meetings,
with the exception Of cne Of the wire
makers, in the country but no infoTma-
ton as to what transplred at that gath
ering is obtainable as yet. However. it
is believed that the situation with regard
to wire was gone over rather thor
oughly.
Operations al the steel plants # The
country are again on the increase, the
latest available official record for the
United States Steel Corporation being "a
per cent of capacity for blast furnaces
and 96.6 per cent for ingot production.
These figures show gains over those re-
ported at the end of August.
From the foregoing Il can be seen that
the steel men Of the country are bending
every effort to get the output OF the
mills up to level where they will more
closely approximate the requirements of
til Government, although steel men state
that it will be impossible to supply the
demand If the estimates made by vari-
Gus Government authorities as to the
way requirements are correct.
however. some leading trade authori.
ties are still taking exception 70 the e.,-
Inmates Of the Government representa-
tivvs. pointing out that there have been
overestimates in a number of instances.
and that there will be virtually sufIi-
cient steel produced to take care Of the
actual nesds as they develop in the next
half year or so.
The report of the untitled tonnage of
the United States Steel Corporation pub.
lished during the week and showing a
decrease OF nearly $4,000 tons in orders
on hand. attracted little or no attention
either in Wall street or in the steel
trade. IT was maintained that figures
are not significant at present as It Is
known that the steel companies of the
country VIII be called upon for all they
can produce for some time to come.
Action taken by various branches to
conserve iron and steel is gratifying
to those who are watching the steel sit
uation for the Government, il is :Iated.
and efforts are expe ted 10 be made
along similar lines in other branches in
the next few weeks. With the view of
assuring the steel for the needs Of the
war.
The labor sirua ton at many plants is
still far from satisfactory. That there
is unrest is admitted by those who are
willing to discuss the matter The men,
although receiving more than they ever
believed possible. are still clamoring for
additional advances in some pants.
This is not believed to be true Of
many Of the larger companies, but the
officials Of the leading concerns are fac
ing plan to unionize the mills of the
country. No definite steps were taken
in the last week by the labor leaders
in this direction, but that some action
can be expected is admitted, and the
steel men are preparing to combat any
attempt TO create trouble in the plants
or curtailment Of their pi oduction.

Rally Short-Lived
New York, Sept. "A.

Severe losses occurred in the cotton
market today, following the publication
Of an authorized statement by President
Wilson indicating that the price of the
staple may be fixed if, after investiga-
ton, it is found necessary. and that the
elimination of speculation and hoard
ing was being planned.
Intense excitement prevailed. and a
rally due to excellent war news was
not maintained, owing to a resumption
of enormous selling toward the end OF
business.
Few traders cared to- express any
opinion as to the effect on results Of the
investigation that ia 10 be undertaken
