Arc Large SpccuIators.

The report declares the meat pack CTS "arc large specuators' end that ther control of capital and credit en- ables tEom to buy in such d way as to resell upon a market in which their purchases have forced up tho price," It also asserts that the pack CTS "have extraordinary buying and . marketing power due to certain ad- vantages, perhaps not always unlaW- fuI but certainly often unjustitiable." |"
 Cannot Tell True Efficiency.
 Among these advantages are enu- merate,l packer control of 44.S per cent. of all cold storage facilities, their refrigerator car service, the "highlv favorable rules," obtained by the packers for mixed carloads of fresh meats and packing house pro- ducts, permitting them to include a. great variety of goods foreign to their slaughtering business with re- sulttng dIscriminations not alone in service, but also in rates.
 Until the packers are shorn of
 transportation advantages granted them by the carriers" the report says, "there is no way of measuring their true industrial efficiency"

WEEKLY IRON REVIEW

Rogers Brown & Co. of Cincinnati. in their weekly review of the iron mar ket, says:

The feeling still prevails, however, that consumption of pig iron will shorus increase in volume sufficient to pre- vent the putting out of additional fue- naces This change will have to oc- eur in the near future, otherwise fur ther curtailment of production Will De necessary. Furnaces are not oisposeo to pile much iron at present costs
 Several districts report increased inquiry but orders do not always re- suit, those placed being for early snip ment The weakness and supply in scrap continues to affect the buying of pig iron in quantity. By this tune of the year most buyers are covered for at least 75 to 90 per cent of re- ouirements. to July 1. Some claim 10 be fully covered, but the majority have considerable iron to purchase to take care of normal needs and not allowing for full operation of their plants. While it may take sometime before the steel mills are readjusted to a peace basis, the foundrleS report tnere IS more business in sight and as spring opens up, they hope to be running full again.

International Trade on Per- manent Basis Not Antici- pated Until Peace Pact

There seems to be an impression among at least some of the iron max
 CTS and consumers that no consld- erable improvement in market cohoi- tions may be looked for until the peace conference at Paris completes US Worh' unti; that time 1t is not believed that financial help will be extended Dy the United States and perhaps EhSlahu eo the nations that must rebuild thelr oe- vastated sections in any considerable sums. and as they are unable to H. nance any extensive reconstruction
 work themselves they must necessarily
 await foreign aid.
 International trade relations are
 not expected to be established on
 permanent basis until the peace pact
 is finally agreed upon and that turther
 tends to delay a general resumption ol
