THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Metal Review

New York, March 16.-Dull and un-
certain conditions prevailed in the steel
and iron industry this week. Knowl-
edge on the part OF the trade at large
that there would be material redue-
lions in prices brought about serfoas
lull in the buying movement by do-
nestle consumers. Buyers were I'M
willing to enter the market at the mo-
ment since it was regarded as almost
certain that in turn of the quarter
prices would be reduced.
A meeting was planned for last
Wednesday, but due to the fact that
Judge Gary was suffering from a Sc
we're cold the Industrial board decided
to defer the session for week. This
added to the uncertain tone in the in
| dustry. AS a result of the lull in buy
| ing mill operations were forced To-
lower figures and a general reduction
in activity amounting to almost 10 per
| cent and in some cases more. was
| noted
| There was little news in the pig iron
| market. Conditions were about the
same as those noted in steel. Buying
was held back in anticipation of
further reductions in price, The coke
market was steady, at lower figures,
| and production was being regulated
TO meet only recognized needs of con-
| sumers.
Copper became routine matter again,
| and the prospects that an active de-
mand would develop shortly were mona
| too bright. Recent concessions were
made by producers in their efforts to
| liquidate some of the huge surplus of
| the red metal now on hand. Despite
the policy of -curtaLed production
adopted by many of the leading COM
| panies the stocks continued to increase.
Estimates pointed to a present over
supply of approximately 1.250.00O,000
! pounds. France and England are
known to hold considerable surplus
| stocks. so that no sizeable export de-
mand can be predicted from these
| countries for sometime to come
| The lead market was quiet, but
| prices were being maintained.
| Spelter showed somewhat weaker
| tendencies.
Trading remained at a standstill in
the tin market.

Weekly Financial Review

New York. March 16-The stock
market rounded out a month of broad
dealings at irregularly higher prices in
the week which closed Saturday. OPP
erations for the six sessions were APP
proxlmately 100000 shares, record
unprecedented since the last boom per-
iod of 1918. Trading doubtless would
have carried greater conviction and
probably would have invited wider
public participation had the movement
conferred less in issues of the various
speculative groups and more in the
shares usually favored by conservative
interests.
Sentimental and technical conditions
figured to a greater extent in the
further advance than actual develop
ments Belief that the peace treaty
, will soon be contaminated and the
oversold condition of the market in the
early weeks OF the year were influen e
tial factors.
Among the more different consider
atoms of an encouraging character
were the many signs of domestic bust
ness improvement, extremely favorable
crop prospects and the country ;
further progress toward world supre-
macy as indicated by the marvellous
foreign trade balances.
Although rails strengthened only
| moderately, 1t is generally recognized
! that they carry the governments guar
antee for such credits as may be re-
| quired. Steels were again restrained
! by uncertainty regarding prices, but
| the contemplated stablization agrec-
! ment is expected to benefit that IN
dustry.
Arrangements for the flotation of the
Victory Loan assumed more tangible
form. but the question OF interest rates
and other important details remain In
allegiance. Bankers emphasized the i'm
| portance of extending further credits
| to foreign countries, and il Is believed
| the recent $5o.00o,o00 acceptance to
| Belgium will form the basis OF many
| similar UNDERTAKINGS
