PRICE CUTTING
IS NECESSARY
Must be Done to Kindle Inter-
est Among the
Buyers

New York, Feb. 12.-Further etit-
ting of prices is now being admitted
by producers as necessary to kindlo
the interest OF buyers. The conclu-
SION reached is that lack OF import
ant inquiry in the past nine weeks
3 of open market conditions is in part
due to maintaining q level of prices
too high to encourage barter. How
to get labor to recognize Its part in
the adjustment is the problem.
The low total OF the present inflow
of emergency orders points to shut
downs here and there in two or three
months time. In the severity OF
such happenings, a rewriting OF
costs would be possible. Whether the
trade conferences proposed by the
Secretary of Comerce could before
then develop understanding looking
to establishing prices likely to at
tract depends largely on securing
official sanction and the broad CO.
operation of the manufacturers and
the steelworkers.
The demand of the automobile
trade is the outstanding feature of
the domestic market. Sheet mills are
running at rs per cent. of capacity
and mostly for motor cars and
trucks. Some of the alloy steel max
ers are booked full for six weeks,
though the early January operations
were only 25 per cent of capacity.
Steel ingot production for Janu-
ary, as estimated by the American
Iron and Steel Institute, was g.
0s2,427 tons, or 10000 tons more
than December.
Some test of market ideas will be
made on February IS, when bids
will be received against a navy in
quiry for 10000 tons of material,
mostly plates and shapes. Surprise
is shown over request from the
navy for 10000 kegs of wire nails,
as the War Department is supposed
to have on hand 100000 kegs. A
large Detroit truck maker is also
sounding the market on bar and
structural mill products to the ex-
tent of $4,000 tons.

Simpson had learned to his sorrow
that Ike Is still on his job.

POLICE SEARCHING
FOR MILlA|stR GEMS
2O-Karet Diamond Reported Among
the Jewels Taken From
Strong Box.

New York. June a7-While de-
tectives working on the ROBBERY OF
the Millhiser jewels from the safe de-
BpoAit vault ut the Hotel Bltmore.
between May 20 and June 13. are still
reluctant to give out Information re-
garding their activities, it became
known yesterday that one piece OF
iewelry which was stolen was piati-
mum ring in which was set twenty
karat diamond.
This ia the second jewel Of the lot.
the total Of which has been reported
to be 3250,000 to be made public The
other was a pear. necklace, said 10 be
worth about 100000. The value OF the
large diamond could not be learned as
Mrs. Clarence Millhiser. the rightful
owner, was not at her rooms at the ST.
Regis last night, and her counsel,
John B. Stanchfeld, refused to com
ment on the case. He said state
ment would be given out today.
One theory advanced by detec-
tive was that a woman had worked
with . band of international thieves
In executing the robbery. He ex-
pressed the belief that the thieves
knew Of the presence OF the Mill
hjser gems in the strong box. and that
the theft had been planned perhaps
months ahead The reason for not
taking ali the jewelry IN the box was
TO delay discovery, he believed, until
the stolen gems had been disposed
OF.
The detectives believe that the large
diamond probably will be cut up into
small stones, which more easily may
be disposed Of One detective said
that by this time the stone probably
has been taken to some other city.
possibly IN the West. Another vcn-
tured that It may have been sent to
Europe.
Notwithstanding this. pawnshops in
this city will be searched. Word has
already been sent to all the chief cities
In the country. 1t also was said that
detectives in London, Paris. and other
European cities were on the lookout
for the thieves or the loot.
Employees at the hotel are still be-
ing questioned in an effort to ascer-
tain definitely whether the theft may
have been an inside" job, The police
steadfastly refused to disclose any
''clues" they were working on 1t
could not be learned whether the
Biltmore had received any replies to
its announcement of a $4,000 reward
for Information leading to the re-
covery of the jewels. E. D. Miller,
the manager OF the hotel. referred all
Questioners TO HIS lawyer. Deacon
Murphy. whose ONCE is at IS Liberty
street.
