STEEL OPERATIONS
ON THE INCREASE
Movement OF Finished Product
Shows No I'M
provement

New York, May 22.-Some increases
in plant operations are reported from
the steel producing centers for the last
week, but the-movement Of finished
products shows no improvement. From
time to time steel authorities have ex-
pressed the hope that the traffic CON
gestion will be lifted shortly. but during
the last few days the hrst Developments,
which could lead to such a hope in
definite shape took place.
The efforts being made by government
authorities to take steps TO bring about.
first, a settlement OF the labor troubles
of the railroads. and secondly, the re.
lief Of the congestion which is reported
from all sections Of the country. are be-
lieved to be fairly certain to succeed.
However. IL Is admitted that Il will be
weeks, before anything like normal
situation will again prevail.
Some steel companies report falling
of in the buying of steel products, but
II is still uncertain as to whether this
is due to the falling prices for neces-
saries all over the country and the
more stringent credit arrangements. or
to the fact that there is trouble on the
railroads in moving freight.
Close students Of the situation main.
tain that the reductions in necessaries
and the reductions of credits have
brought about the drop in the demand.
pointing out that orders placed at this
time would not be affected by the rail-
road situation, as deliveries would not
be possible until late in the fall at the
earliest, and by that time there would
be no difficulty in shipping the finished
products.
One thing appears certain. and that
is that premiums are disappearing more
rapidly than ever before. Week by
about high prices for favorable products
and shipments, and the buyers are not
willing to wait for their goods until
their turn comes on the books of the
steel mills. Some observers insist that
IL the present uncertain conditions con
tinue for any length of time 1t Is prob
able that some important cancellations
Of contracts will be heard about before
the time arrives for specifying by the
buyer.
The pipe market continues strong.
Delays in shipping the finished prod.
ucts to the buyers have caused many
complaints. but the makers are not in
control of this situation and. there
requirements of the oil field for tubular
goods are large and manufacturers Of
pipe are looking forward to q continued
good demand for long time.
In iron and steel bars there is a
tendency on the part OF some makers
to accept business for delivery in the
next three or four months, although
the leading interest is booked almost
ur to the end Of the. year. The mills
accepting these nearby shipments only
a short slime ago were holding off for
premiums on nearby material and higher
quotations on future deliveries.

Murphy got a life on Underwood's error,
but was out trying to steal second. Ma
honey drew pass and stole second, scor-

ended Bellows Falls's run getting for the
day as Murphy frightened up and was
master of the situation at all times the
balance of the game.
Brattleboro got busy in their h&lf of
the third as Murphy doubled, scoring on
Dunlevy's single and on Underwood's
scratch single Dunlevy went to third.
Underwood stole and Dunlevy was
thrown out at the plate on Yarker's rap
to third. Taylor popped to short and
Kennedy came through with a screeching
single through the pitchers box, scoring
Underwood and Yarker. Barry raised
one to the pitcher, ending the inning.
The locals again opened fire with the
heavy guns in the fifth when Dunleavy
| first up, singled over short, going to
third as Underwood again came through
with a single. Yarker brought both il
with pretty double to right field. Tay-
