The Worlds Markets
Weekly Metal Review

 New York June 1.-There is a tlrm tone in the local steel market and buying is reported as having assumed larger pro- portions. Practically all lines are al- fected by the change in the consumers attitude and orders are coming in at satisfactory pace. The price scaie IS steady and firm and little talk is nearo ferS concerning shading. In fact some of the independent interests in the trade have irtimated that there may be ad- ynnces in their price cards before Sep teInber, the date originally set ln the trade for a change in levels provided buying develops as is expected.
 In thc local trade brisk demand IS noted for sheets on accotnt of orders received from manufacturers of automo- piles. Wire products are also Tn oeulaho in cor siderable quantities anG 1t IS ninted that advances may b7 iet orced m the prices or these products within com paratively short time Oil country goods are receiving attention at the hands or buyers and considerable mileage has al ready been booked. In plates there IS greater activity and the market is steady, despite the fact that independent is quot ing above the industrial boards price,
 
 while sales made on the board showed a concession of 15 points from the estap- lished level. Demand for structural steel continues to improve and favorable re- port is expected for the current month. Pig iron likewise is showing unmis- takabIe signs of improvement and Inter ests here point to orders not only for rroppt, but also for second half, and Tn some cases, last quarter delivery. Here again prices are reported to be firm and the lccal trade is at present looking for ward to the third quarter, as time when price levels may be advanced so as to ease the situation at the plants. Wages in every instance are being maintained and the improved feeling on the part of producers is expected to guarantee to er,ployes present wage scales TOT some time to come
 Copper is quiet. In outside hands there has been an easier tone evidence, and in some cases recessions have been reported on srot quotations. general range ol from 16A@1611c pound prevails l Lead and spelter have ruled quiet.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Pres.

New York, June 1.-Business on the stock exchange last week was limited to four full sessions, but the turnover Tn that comparatively short time lacked nothing in point of activity or variety, the first days operations aggregatlng slightly more than 100000 shares.
 Intervals of dullness and uncertainty acc ompanied signs of higher money and concerning the possible course of events abroad, but these were overcome by fresh waves of buying, ,Nyl6oh eonpbraced the entire list.
 ?The market has now experienced al-l ,snest four months of trading on an un- ,paFalleled scale. Its magnitude may De judged from the fact that stock transac- tions for the first five months of the year are almost double the 1918 output for the same period, while, bond sales have vastly more than doubled.
 Much of the investment demand is of recent origin, the bond market finding perceptible stimulus in the success of the Victory Loan. This was followed by new corporate financing Including a $1O,00o, 900 Rio de Janeiro offering. all being quickly absorbed.
 The terms of the peace treaty engaged the serious attention of leading banking interests, that momentous event being used as a vital factor in the natural plan of European reconstruction.
 In the highest financial circles, there appears to be an increasing realization that the United States will have to bear large part of the burden. necessary to bring about normal conditions abroad. Proposals to discount part of Germany s indemnity to France are expected to form part of the comprehensive plan now under consideration by American bankers.

my opinion, should be erected as mem orial to the Salvation Army lassies who served our boys in France with hot cof- fee and doughnuts, washed the blood from their faces on the battlefield and mothered them in their dying hours; also acted as chaplain for both Protestant, Catholic and Jew. I would also like to ask if there is not in Birmingham some wealthy man or woman who would re- member such a memorial in their will. I would like to ask this question of the wealth of Birmingham, and that is this: The mothers of the boys who went over seas have done their best in this cam paign. The working man and woman, the middle class, yes, even the poor, have given to their limit; they have all done their bit. My q~estion to the rich man or woman is, Have you?
 It might be possible for us to secure authority from national headquarters to erect such a building by paying what ever cash we can and placing a mortgage on the building for the balance, but l wonder if the people of Birmingham, knowing the burden already resting on the Salvation Army wants it to assume this additional one, and would they not rather in future days be able to point with pride at a modest building erected as a memorial to the heroic Salvation Army workers and say, We, the people of Birmingham are not unappreciative.'
 Will you kindly ask the people of Bir- mingham this question through the col umns of your paper?
 Again thanking you for your generous support, am, with best wishes. sincerely yours. DAVID MAIN.
