STEEL DEMAND HEAVY,
PRICES ARE UNCHANGED
RONDS

NEW YORK, November 22.-De-
mand for steel is heavy, and there is
considerable inquiry for the first half
OF 1920, but mills are reluctant to
commit themselves. though the labor
situation continues to improve. Prices
have not changed, but the market is
firmer, in keeping with higher costs
of basic materials. Export business
is in allegiance pending credit adjust
ments.
Iron production is not increasing
in proportion to consumption and
prices have advanced 81 and 50 for
nearly all standard grades. Furnaces
try to satisfy customers by parceling
out limited supplies. Eastern Penn
sylvania is so far sold that northern
consumers are taking southern iron
and paying freight premiums. Coke
is easier at the moment, but the coal
situation looks serious.
Copper is dull and easy. Producers
have been offering freely and the
price has declined from 20h cents
during the week. No business has
been done in large way.

"16.. to 1" Now a Fact.

For the first time in nearly fifty
years silver went under the 16-to-I
ratio to gold on November 10. when
bullion sold in the New York market
at $1305 an ounce. This was the
highest price since 1872. when silver
brought 1895 an ounce. While this
price for bullion would yie.d profit
to those melting down silver dollars,
the silver in which is worth 81 when
the price of bullion silver is S1.2929
it is doubtful whether such melting
will take place to any great extent
unless the present high prices for
bullion are maintained for a con-
siderable period. The rise in the
price of silver is attributed to the
heavy demand for the metal by Eng
land. Canada, India, Hongkong and
China. Stocks, in China especially
were reduced by the embargo on eX-
ports which was maintained from
the summer of 1918 until last May
Since the lifting of this embargo
China has been taking more silver
than all other countries combined.
In August China took $1O.911.9S7 in
silver and since then her agents have
been in the market for even larger
quantities.

NEW YORK SUGAR MARKET.

NEW YORK. November 22-The
announcement by the President that
the government would again take
control of the food situation in an
endeavor to reduce the high cost of
living had very unsettling effect in
the sugar market. 1t had been eX-
pected in some quarters that next
year the sugar market would be an
open one, and the fact that a large
percentage of the coming Cuban crop
has already been purchased seemed to
bear out these statements, but it was
announced that the sugar price would
be fixed at IL cents wholesale, and
that the consumption of sugar would
be further curtailed by manufac-
turers whose products are not re-
garded as essential. Until more def
mite plans are announced trading in
new-crop sugars is practically at a
standsti.l, although there seems to
be no great hurry on the part Of
Cuban planters to sell. and today the
market was as firm as ever. No new
purchases were reported by the board.
