SEE IRON AND STEEL
AT DRIFTING STAGE"
Observers Say Buying Has Touched
Point Of Dullness-Metal Mar
kets Reviewed.

NEW YORK, September IL tby the
Associated Press).-That the iron and
steel markets have reached a drifting
stage is the opinion of conversant
observers. Buying in both trades has
touched the point Of duliness, and
cancellations of steel products have
been severe, but without concern to
makers. who are heavily sold up sew
eral months ahead. Operators and
consumers alike are beginning to ac-
custom themselves to the new order
| OF things generated by higher freight
rates. while the movement in many
mills in absorbing the increased traf-
nc costs have been no large incentive
10 steel users to place much new
business. The market is little
changed.
Pig Iron Quiet. But Firn.
The pig iron market is quiet but
| firm. Consumers have tapered require
mentS to low point, but producers
are tightly booked, in some cases well
| into 1921. Little tonnage is available
| on new business. Northern prices are
| without change. but Birmingham
shows signs of firming above the $42
| basis. Latest statistics show a pro-
| duction of 3,147.431 tons in pig iron
| in August. against 3.067.843 in July
and 2,74S,SSS in August of 1919. The
| increase. which placed last months
| output second only to that in March
and January of last year. reflects the
| material improvement in operations
and shipments and good recovery
from the railroad mems strike effects.
IFerromanganese and spiegel alloy
output also made record for the year
| OF $685. tons, against 36,7S9 in July
and 17,419 in August. 1919.
| Copper and Other Metals.

per market is the fact that large SELL
ing agencies offered concession of
| u cent pound to induce consumers
| to re-enter the market for fourth
| quarter requirements. Business is
| SLOW, but inquiries are increasing in
large proportion, indicating sales
soon. The producers now ask 18s4
cents for nearby and 10 cents fourth
quarter delivery.
Tin is easy. despite firming tendency
in London. Large offerings by hold
ers and dsinterest of buyers cause trade
depression.
| Lead and zinc are dominated by
| open trade dealers who have received
| large foreign tonnage and have more
metal en- route. The result is a ma
| terial weakening of the markets, with
| consumers holding OF for further de-
| velopm5nts.
| Anthony is in good demand and
| sales continue actively, but prices
| remain unchanged.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
(By Guaranty Trust Company
The period of hesitation continu,

The period Of hesitation continues,
due chiefly to uncertainty regarding
the course Of prices in the imme-
date future. The judgment of most
observers is that before the end of
the year a definite trend will make
itself felt, and the opinion is general
that lower levels will prevail For
several months the recession in
wholesale prices has been continuous
and it will be reflected in the retail
markets as soon as dealers recognize
the inevitable necessity of taking
some losses in order to stimulate the
tagging purchasing of the public.
Until that turn comes, the present dis
position~to make commitments with
extreme reserve will continue. There
is great Improvement in the con-
gested condition Of the railroads, al
though the strike of anthracite coal
miners, which has resulted in new
arrangements for the ALLEGATION of
cars, has interrupted the smoothing
out process. Ali business ia feeling
the effects of the credit stringency.
The crop movement is proceeding sat
isfactorily.
The Money Market.
The issue of Treasury certificates
of Indebtedness running for a year
and bearing per cent interest is
generally interpreted as an official
recognition of the probability that
rates for money will continue high.
After fortnight of rates for call
money ranging from to 8 per cent
