STEEL CORPORATION
INCREASES OUTPUT
BY Broadan Hall.

New York. Sept. 1.-The market
showed its true colors in today's trad
ing. II was a sad revelation for the
bears who had been counting upon the
talk OF steel strike to help them out
of bad position. The street did not
wait for the labor conference at Wash
ington to get through with its DELHI
erations. The influential portion OF
the financial community had made up
their minds that there was nothing
serious in all the steel labor situation
to warrant holding stocks back any
longer.
There was only needed some strona
initiative to translate this feeling into
action. This initiative was supplied
by some OF che larger houses who sent
out word to their customers this
morning that 1t was time to buy and
that the steel shares were the best
purchase Of any Of them, In response
to these advices there came a wave of
new buying which swept the short in
Iterest Off its feet. Steel common went
up three points and the bears In
crucible, Baldwin and other OF the
high priced industrials made haste to
cover on the best terms they could
get.
1t was significant OF the drift Of
things that transactions were nearly
double those Of the day before. The
buying movement carried prices for
ward with great enthusiasm during
the greater part Of the day and at the
close the major portion of the gains
were 4held. 1t was a market in which
at all stages II was much easier to
sell than to buy. Many stocks reached
the best prices they have attained
since July and the feeling at the end
was confident
All the news was favorable. A fur
Their increase OF $4,000 tons in un-
filled orders OF the steel corporation
for the past month was better show

dividends were declared on the per-
phyry coppers and this helped the
copper shares although there had
never been any serious grounds for
experimenting any other action.
