UNTITLED STEEL

! Are 6,284,638 Tons for
Il Last Month.
SHOW ONLY SMALL GAIN
Strike Is Blamed by Trade for
Small Advance From
August Report.

The United States Steel Corporation
Issued yesterday its monthly report of
,t,tlled orders on Its books. showing
mat on September 80 the total of that
class Of tonnage was 6.2S4,638, an in
cease from the August figures of but
i75.5S5 tons. In August the increase in
tonnage figures compared with those OF
the preceding months report was $780,.
az. The steel strike is blamed in steel
circles with being responsible for the
small Increase, Notwithstanding the
fact that the strike was not called on
September 20, or only eight days before
the end of the month covered by the
report While 1t was late in the month
before the strike became a reality, the
officials of the Steel Corporation knew
for weeks that there was grave danger
of such action on the part OF the work.
ers and It Is believed that, therefore,
many orders for steel were turned down
because Of the uncertainty concerning
deliveries.
The policy of the Steel Corporation has
always been to accept only business that
it could be reasonably sure of making
satisfactory delivery of, and the decision
10 refuse business Just before the strike
was called was in keeping with that
policy. On the other hand, 1t was said
yesterday the production of the mills of
the United States Steel Corporation was
not curtailed to the extent that the in
dependent mills were affected by the
strike, and the average production for
September probably was not below that
of August, and thus what little busi-
ness was accepted was handled expe-
ditlously and the untitled tonnage fig
wes, therefore, held down to a mini
mum.
The untitled orders on the books of
the Steel Corporation, 1t was declared
yesterday, are sufficient for five months
continued operation of its finishing mills.
There is big demand for steel, par
ticularly from the automobile manufac-
turers and from shipbuilding concerns,
according to the steel trade journals. all
o. which points. 1t was said, to heavy
bookings during the coming months.
The report Of untitled orders. made
yesterday. places the figures at 100000
tons under those for November of last
year, when the decline became marked.
1t is aIso 100000 tons higher than
the lowest monthly mark. which was
touched in May of this year. Compared
with the report for September of last
year, the figures show a decline Of about
a.O13,O tons, and with that for Sep
TENDER, 1917. decline of 100000 tons.
The highest record established by the
corporation for untitled tonnage was in
April. 1917. when the figures showed
untitled orders of 12,1SS.0S3 tons. or
nearly 100000 tons more than the re-
port made yesterday shows.
The following table shows the monthly
reports made by the corporation since

CORN MARKET HAS
IRREGULAR TONE
Trading Is Quiet, Fluctuations
Are NarrOw-Sentiment
FavOrs Selling.

An irregular tone prevailed yesterday
In tho corn market. Trading was
quiet and fluctuations narrow. Prices
shifted only little more than a cent
in the entire session. Sentiment Ia
vored the selling side. but no great
pressure was exerted. Predictions of
cooler weather. which was expected to
increase the movement, inspired SELL
ing In the afternoon. The market
opened steady with fractional ad-
vance and held most Of It during the
morning. but reacted slightly In the
afternoon. The early steadiness was a
continuation of the covering movement
started In the last few minutes of
Thursday afternoon. and was due to re-
ports of rains in the corn States and
belief that the market might be over
sold. Further rains were expected to
curtail the movement, but there was lit
tie buying on the contingency. 1t was
another professional market, in which
outsiders cared to have little part
There was considerable evening up on
prospects of the short session to-day
and the two-day respite. The evening
up was responsible for some price shift
ing. In the trade there are those who
believe that December corn Just now Is
an investment rather than a specula-
ton. To confirm their statement they
point to prices OF q year ago; Dece-n-
Der corn was low and bulls were very
scarce. but before the delivery was
taken of the boards a great advance
was made Argentine news Is not hav-
ing any effect on the market There was
some buying reported for the United
Stats.
Oats were unsettled, showing a ten
dency to follow corn. Export sales are
made more difficult with the embargo
on at the seaboard, and there were little
demand for cash oats They were heavy.
There is no chance Of the embargo's be-
ing lifted until the strike be settled, and
there are no immediate prospects Of that.
