STEEL DEMAND GOOD.
OTHER METALS LAGG|NG

NEW YORK. March 13-whiIe
there is no weakness in steel, the
undertone is slightly easier as traffic
conditions improve and buyers show
less inclination to bid extravagant
prices. Production has shown steady
improvement and promises to increase
Demand, however, is still largely in
excess of supply and there is a large
accumulated tonnage to be moved
from producing centers. The unified
tonnage of the United States Steel
Corporation on February % was g.
502.0S1 tons. as compared with $685.
AL tons January 81 and 6.01O,7S7 tons

duction of thirty leading steel COM
panies amounted in February to g.
S65.124 tons, as compared with 1885,
662 tons in January.
Light Trade in Iron and Copper.
Inquiry for iron has improved dur
ing the last few days. but actual
business is still comparatively light.
and the tone of the market is easier.
Basic iron has been resold at Sal val
ley furnace. or 81 below the former
market. Foundry grades are holding
strong without advances. Demand is
chiefly for prompt and second quar-
ter, but there is little to be had. Ex-
ports are improving on higher ex-
change. but it is doubtful if much iron
can be secured.
Demand for copper has continues I'd
light for weeks and producers have
reduced their asking price to 1Si.
for March and 18ka1SA for April
May and June. Dealers have been
anxious sellers of small lots at 1SA
cents. Large consumers still look for
further declines.
Lead is in fair demand and very
strong. Production is lighter than
consumption and the market threat
ems to advance.
With the rise of exchange demand
for zinc by exporters has increased
but there is little domestic business
doing. The market is steady.
The market for tin has huctuat ed
with London. After rather sharp de
clines buyers came in on the reaction
and the price now is firm at 81 for
spot and 64ha65 for futures. Con-
sumers have made liberal purchasers

Bradxtreet's View.
Bradstreet's says: While business
IN wholesale lines continues at good
pace. progressive tendency to con-
servatlsm is reflected in the weeks
trade advices, and this. with incIement
weather in many sections. has had an
lnnuence in bringing about a quieter
tone IN retail trade. Purchasing for
immediate needs is reported a s in gen
eral satisfactory. but there is a more
pronounced disposition to limit COM
mItments for the future. The main
influence in inducing caution in re-
spect to providing for more distant
requirements is the feeling reflected in
dispatches from many quarters that
prices have about reached the top, and
that readustments in a downward di-
rection may be looked for in the not
be recollectcd that the present is
between seasons period when the
spring has not yet opened. and when
a quietinC down of activity in retail
lines is naturally looked for. At the
same time. the distribution of many
commodities for which the need is
shoes. groceries. etcN3continues active
in most places. The demand for steel
and iron products for wide variety
of uses is marked. and while the
railroads have not put in orders as
was expected when they again passed
into private control. it is reported
that orders from some of the larger
roads amount already to about $25,-
100000. and the expectation of fur
ther demands strengthens the position
ture of the situation is the larger de-
mand for scrap iron at high prices.
Production Still Below Demand.
Manufacturing practically everywhere
maintains the condition of activity
heretofore noted. but production still
fails to approach demand, and deliveries
lag far behind orders. This condition
continues to be aggravated by made
quate transportation facilities and by
shortages in the supply of fuel and raw
materials. The complaint of scarcity in
various kinds of merchandise still finds
place in the dispatches as an element
in hampering ultimate distribution and
thus swelling the volume of business
In almost all sections building is in
condition of marked activity. though in
some places it has been retarded by
inclement weather and in others by the
high cost of labor and materials, as we'll
as by inadequate supplies of the latter.
In a number of places money strin-
gency has had the effect of curtailing
programs laid out before the disposition
to conserve credit more closely had be-
gun to be manifested.
