British iron and steel makers are
alarmed over the coal situation, declar-
ing that an unceasing rise in the cost
of production is inevitable, imperiling
the country's export trade.
Splendid conditions, with purchases
at new high record, indebtedness low
and payments running high, are re-
hected in the monthly comparison of
merchandising activities compiled by
the research department of the Credit
Clearing House.

Dealers In fertilizers state that for
the past few weeks business has been
excellent, with orders coming in better
than had been anticipated earlier in
the season. Materials are somewhat
scarce and consequently prices have
advanced under pressure of the active
demand. Business is reported mostly
in large orders. The southern states
are purchasing large quantities in antic-
ipation of the coming planting season.
