Steel and Iron Trade
Further Reduction i'm Mill Oper.
p ations Is Reported

Operations of steel mills, "The Iron
Age" says. showed q further reduction
during the last week of March, the out
put of that month comparing unfavora-
bly, with that of February. Pig iron
sellers, it is stated, have received many
appeals from their customers demand
ing revision of contracts to conform
with the new price of S4.25 a ton, and
some of the larger sellers are said to
have granted this reduction.
Foreign orders are now being taken
at domestic prices, whereas the price of
export steel was quoted IS ton higher
during the early part of the year. Dur
ing the last week 10000 tons of stand
ard sections for Manchuria were sold
on the basis of the rail price obtaining
on March 20, and the War Department
also accepted the new price in dspos-
ing Of $4,000 tons of S0-pound rails
originally ordered for the American
army in France.
Curtailment Of pig iron production
during the first quarter of the year is
represented by siXty-four stacks which
have ceased operation. During March
twenty-four furnaces were blown out,
says "The Iron Trade Review" and the
average daily output during that month
was 98,555 tons, compared with 105,120
tons during February. The total pro-
duction in March was 3,067,610 tons,
against 2,943,347 in February, the
March gain being accounted for by the
greater number Of working days in the
month.

Pattern Companies
Cited for Fixing Price
Butterick and Pictorial Review
Companies Charged With
Restraining Trade

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Fed
eral Trade Commission today cited
the Butterick Company and subsidi-
aries, New York City, and the Picto-
rial Review Company. New York City,
respectively, makers and distributors
of butterick patterns and pictorial re-
view patterns, on charges of entering
into contracts with retail drygoods
stores throughout the United States
stipulating that standard fixed resale
prices be maintained and that the pat
terms OF competing companies be eX-
cluded from SALE
The Butterick companies, the COM
missions formal complaint alleges,
have contracted with some 10000 re-
tail stores for the maintenance of fixed
resale prices on Butterick patterns
and for exclusion of competing pat
terms, and have refused to sell patterns
to stores which insist on reselling to
the public at their own prices.
me complaint against the Pictorial
Review Company alleges the concern
has entered into contracts with manv
thousand retail drygoods stores pro-
vldlng that it will repurchase out of
date or unsold patterns only on cond-
tlon that Its standard resale prices are
observed and the patterns of compet-
tors excluded from sale
The effect in part of these con-
tracts, the complaints allege, is to de-
bar competing pattern manufacturers
from access to a large proportion of
the retail drygoods trade in the United
states, and to prevent these competi-
tors from offering their patterns for
sale to large proportion of the pur-
chasing public
The Butterick complaint named the
Butterick Company, the Federal Pub
iishing Company, the Butterick Pub
llshlng Company, the Standard Fashion
Company and the New Idea Pattern
Company.
The. Butterick companies were cited
TO make answer before the commission
IN Washington May 13, and the Picto-
rial Review the 18th.

Better Buying Takes Place
IN the Market for
Cotton Goods

A more cheerful sentiment permeated
the markets for cotton goods yester-
day, based on prospective expansion in
the demand. 1t was conceded that
sales of unbleached goods were light,
out there seemed to be better inqui-
RES, and, therefore. an impression pre-
vailed that increased business would
soon result. Prices for unbIeached
goods were firm
A number of Western and Southern
Jobbers were in the market. and il
was reported that they had placed a
tar number of orders for bleached
goods. colored fabrics and towels. Re-
quests also were made that the goods
pe shlpped without delay. One of the

Rubber
Collection Of Statistics on
Rubber Industry To
Be Continued

movement has been started by tbe
Rubber Association of America 10
make the collection of statistics on
inc rubber industry a permanent prac-
tlce. 1t is claimed that the statistics
collected by the War Service Commit
tee of the association last wear were
so valuable TO the government and to
the individual members of the indus
try that they warrant revision peri
odically. The information gathered in
1918 provided the first complete re-
view. of the standing of the Industry
and included the mount of rubber CON
sumed in total and by classes of arti-
cless, the value and quantity of output.
and stocks of crude rubber on hand
and in transit at various periods.
In letter to the members of the
ASSOCIATION urging that they continue
the compilation of this review, Secre-
tary II. s. Vorhis said: "The unques-
toned value of these statistics sug-
gests the desirability of our continu-
ing to collect them in 1919 and there
after under conditions which would
insure proper secrecy for the returns
from separate manufacturers, and
which would provide for the publica-
tion of total figures only for the entire
industry and the distribution of these
totals TO manufacturers who cooper
ate IN making returns for their plants"

Jeweiry manufacturers received un-

many retailers, having this in mind
heId off on their March orders so as
10 avoid the double impost. Merchan
dise bought late last month would have
carried the per cent tax. If it was
sold to the consumer after the nov
law went into effect an additional :
per cent tax would have had to be
paid to the government
me problem of how the retailer
could pass the per cent tax on to the
consumer was cleared up yesterday. A
telegram was received by Jesse Isidor

from tne bureau of Internal Revenue,
