STABLIZING PRICES
TALK IN STEEL TRADE
Conference of Thursday Inn,
portant Development in
Industry

New York, March by far the most i
important development in the steel in- I
dustry during the last week was the,
conference on Thursday between Georges
y. Peek, chairman of the committee,
named by Secretary Of Commerce Red
field, to stabilize prices and sixteen rep
resentative iron and steel manufacturers
of the United States Mr. Peek was in
vited to discuss the various matters with,
the steel men. and it is known that the
main topic was future price levels.
The views expressed by Judge Gary
after the meeting were considered inn
portant in financial circles. as well as in
the steel trade. Despite the general dis
cussion of unemployment, Judge Gary
stated that there was less idleness at
present throughout the country than
many believe, and added significantly:
80 far as ] know prices are being very
well maintained
In the face of the many reports about
prices, this statement shows conclusiyely
that the leading authorities in the in
dustry are holding their prices, all
through some of the smaller companies
are said TO have made concessions which
could not be termed directly price cut
ting, being merely shading of differ
entails and manipulations of the extras.
After the meeting of the steel men
no one was willing to discuss the future.
but it is known that there are many
divergent opinions as TO what will hap
pen in the next six or seven monthz
Some interests firmly believe that pricey
will come down. while others. includinf
some OF the best-posted authorities. II
sist that with present bookings and n
comparatively good outlook, there 10
no reason to look for any drastic r,duc-
tons.
The labor situation is still being close-
ly watched by the best observers in
the industry There have been no new,
Developments during the last week, with
the exception of votes taken by two
smaller concerns among its workers as
to whether they prefer the eight-hour
day, or twelve hours. Both ballots re-
suited in overwhelming majorities for
the eight hours.

RALLY IN CORN PIT
WHEN SHORTS COVER
Business on Small Scale, With
Market Steady to Shade
Easier-Oats Steady

CHICAGO, March 1.-Business in corn
was on a small scale this morning. The
market opened steady to a shade easier,
with some selling by an important COM
mission house, but rallied on covering
by shorts. Offerings were fairly liberal
on the hard spots.
Traders appeared 10 believe that
everything depended upon the coming
action by the food administrations on
hog quotations, and there was dis
position to go slow until this matter
had been settled. In the meantime the
movement continues light. with little
prospect for any accumulation for some
months.
on the other hand, the demand for
the cash article was slow, and bears
pointed TO the large surplus in Argen-
tina. The arrivals here today we're
