STEEL MEN DISCUSS
CONDITION OF TRADE
Representative Gathering in
New York Confers on Cost
Sheets and Differentials
NEW YORK, March .,

What was probably the most repre-
sentative gathering of iron and steel in
terests in recent years, was held in
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel here on Fri
day.
Men from all the principal lines in the
industry attended the meeting. which
was an all-day session, and after ad-
iournment no information was forth
coming, except the statement that cost
sheets and differentials were discussed.
There has been much talk recently
of an advance in the fixed prices, but
tie situation Is so mixed that those
who usually are willing to discuss the
various angles are, at present, more
reticent than they have been known to
be at any time in the past.
The knowledge of the inability of some
small companies to show profit on
the present fixed prices has caused dis
cusson in the last few weeks of the
possibility of having the Government
take over such plants. But the leading
steel authorities say there is no reason
for such action.
They point out that the independent
companies have been given materials
whenever it was found necessary and
possiblc to do SO, even to the extent of
supplying raw materials at price which
was below what the articles could be
purchased for in the open market Time
alone will tell what the outcome of the
entire situation will be.
Operations of finishing mSls at the
end of the week for the entire industry
is somewhere around the 70 per cent
mark. according to leading authority,
with the Indications that there will be
further increase If the railroad situation
continues to improve so that products
can be moved from the storage yards
and raw materials can be brought to
the mills

The total withdrawal of deposits by
the Government from depository banking
institutions in the district this week
amounted to about S1t,000.000. Not
withstanding this the Reserve Bank loan
account does not indicate that the banks
were compelled to get aid to any marked
extent because OF the Withdrawals.

RETAIL TRADE Is AHEAD
OF SAME PERIOD IN 1917
Chairman Austin Reports Conditions
Generally Good in Local Reserve
District, Except Freight Troubles

Richard T., Austin. chairman Federal
Reserve Bank OF Philadelphia, report
ing conditions in the Philadelphia Re-
serve District says:
aside from the interruption in busi-
on Mondays. there has been no impor-
tant change in conditions, manufacturers
as II rule continuing to operate to as
near capacity as circumstances viii per-
nit.
Retail trade is running ahead of last
year, both In quantity of goods sold
and in value of sales. Dry goods, ho-
siery, underwear, etc, are in Scant sup
ply, and on account of the continually
advancing prices retailers have a ten
dency to overbuy. In many cases there
is disposition to expand credit beyond
normal amounts. but efforts are being
made to keep them within reasonable
lines.
"The railroad embargo and the en-
barrassment and distress resulting from
freight congestion, scarcity of fuel, etc.
have been the absorbing subjects of the
month. Due to the inability TO make
shipments. large quantities of finished
goods have accumulated. This has re-
suited in Curtailing production and the
tying up of much capital.
collections throughout the District
are reported fair. In some lines, such
as iron and steel, the condition is some
what unsatisfactory, as bills have been
falling due before the materials have
been received and some large consumers
are reported as being slow in their pay

mulate surplus funds owing to the con-
tinuous purchases of Treasury certif-
Gates of Indebtedness and the renewal of
notes by their customers, whose business

sustained the market this morning. al

mand for the cash article checked sellers.

said showed the stocks to he SO large
that they overbalanced the heavy con-
sumption and the big disappearance of
