OPERATIONS IN STEEL
MILLS ON INCREASE
Opinion General That condi-
tions in Industry viii Remain
Settled for Some Months

New York, Sept. 6.-The improved
outlook in the labor situation has
brought with it better demand for
steel products. according to some of the
best authorities in this city. In addi e
tion, the mills of the country are again
increasing operations. and il is the
general opinion ut present that condi Z.
tions will remain settled for several
months at least.
In some quarters it is stated that the
outlook for the steel industry at the
moment is as good as it has been at
any previous time. 1t is insisted that
consumers will purchase for their re-
quircments. and the fact that it is diff =
cult to place orders for many products
Is pointed to as Indicating the situation
as 1t exists at this time.
Considerable interest Is shown in the
fact that the Cambria Steel Company.
a subsidiary Of the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company, has quoted an nd
vance of fifteen cents to SO. 80 per 100
pounds, Pittsburgh. for steel bars and a
similar increase to $500 per 100
pounds for steel bands. 1t Ia believed
that several other independent COM
panies will follow thelcad Of the Cam
brin company. especially in view of the
report that some business has been re
ceivcd at the new figures. However
thus far the other companies are still
quoting the old prices.
The Cambria company also took the
lead in advancing the price for forging
billets. While many other makers are
asking the old figure of S51 per ton,
this company has named S54 per ton on
all the inquiries which have come into
the market. 1t is not known as yet
whether any orders were placed ut the
new quotation.
The situation in wxe products con-
tinues excellent. There is large de-
mand and all the independent manu-
facturers are asking the advanced
prices. The leading interest, the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company, however,
continues to quote the old figures which
were fixed months ago by the steel
authorities. None of the independents.
for instance, will quote under 3.5O
cents per pound for wire nails. whereas
American Steel and Wire is still holding
to 3.25 cents per pound.

STATE OF TRADE

with bank deposits. both state and
national. of record proportions, retail
trade of the greatest volume ever
known, and industrial reports rejecting
increasing production in many lines,
there is less tendency to be worried
over foreign exchange or conditions

The wholesale and jobbing trade re-
ports reflect continued activity in vir
tually all lines. Buyers for retail stores
nre In tho market in larger numbers
than year ago. and are buying freely.
General store business was never better
than at the present time, and the main
difficulty retailers have is in buying
the necessary stocks for their stores.
Collections are good. with no indication
in any quarter Of n change in present
conditions.
Reports from interior banks show a
large surplus of funds. and rs the
money returns from this years crops
are put into circulation through invest
ment or purchase of commodities, the
buying demand will be further en-
hanced.
At nearly all CITES and towns in the
West, with the exception Of Chicago,
the building operations are expanding
steadily. This is creating an undercur-
rent Of confidence. In Chicago building
operations are still held up by the OBJ
stinacy Of the carpenters.
The volume Of steel production is in
creasing, and with the prospects for an
indefinite delay in labor troubles due
to the reduced living costs, manufactur-
ers are going ahead with much. greater
confidence. and steel mills are now max
ing plans to take care Of the big bust
