STEEL MARKET FIRM:
IRON PRICES ADVANCE

NEW YORK. May 1.-The steel mar
ket is firm. owing to reduced produc-
ton and heavy demand caused by
three weeks Of railroadmens strike.
While districts in the neighborhood
of Youngstown report improved
freight movement. relieving yard and
warehouse congestion. Mahoning val
ley mills are still crippled to the ex-
tent of so per cent of production.
Coal deliveries everywhere are still
light.
The middle west reports little i'm
provement from conditions existing
the past two weeks, as many strikers
have not returned to work, particu-
larly around Chicago.
Quotations by Independents.
Several large independents are
quoting finished steel prices close to
the parity places by the Steel Corpor-
alton. but are taking few orders.
since their books have been practical
ly filled to the end of the year. Linn
tied traffic has checked shipments on
contract to such an extent that the
untitled orders of both the steel cor
poration and large independents are
expected to reach exceptionally high
figures.
Iron Market Stinens.
The iron market has stiffened and
prices of week ago have been again
advanced by leading producers. NO. :
foundry iron has been selling at $45
eastern Pennsylvania and Buffalo, but
large interests will not consider Of
fers under $46, with some quotations
Of SAT- Virginia furnaces quote $44
to $45. Coke deliveries are still un-
satisfactory. and production de-
creased almost SO per cent last week.
Tin has been easy, due to the abb
sence Of consumers from the market,
as limited freight movement makes
deliveries uncertain; the spot quota
tion has remained steady at 81 "
cents, with 81 cents ruling for second
quarter.
Copper Continues Steady.
Copper has remained steady through
the week at 19A cents spot and sec
ond quarter. and 1917 cents to 1872
cents for July, with the outside mar
ket shading somewhat.
Lead has been dull, with no interest
taken in the market by buyers or
sellers.
Zinc weaker than any time since the
first of the year, because Of resales

NEW YORK CALL MONEY
GOES UP TO CENT
Further Depreciation of Quoted
Values on Stock Exchange
A1sn No%nd
Also Noted.

NEW YORK, May. 1.-Deaation OF
credits proceeded apace throughout
the country this week. accompanied
by further depreciation Of quoted val
ues on the stock exchange. Call
money rose to Is per cent and time
loans were limited largely to May re-
newals.
In view Of the recent adverse show
ing by branch banks at leading west
ern and southern centers. little sur
prise was manifested at the further
Tightening of control by the Federal
Reserve Board. This took the form in
part of closer scrutiny of bank ac-
ceptances and advances Of discounts
where reserves were lowest.
Shrfnkage Attributed to Strikes.
There was lively discussion in f1nan-
cial quarters of the report of the con-
troller Of the currency that the coun-
try's bank deposits had suffered a
shrinkage in excess of one billion dol
lars. This was largely attributed to
strikes and other labor disturbances.
The quarterly statement of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation indicated
a marked revival of the war boom in
that industry. but the railroad strike,
still to be reckoned as deterrent,
promises serious impairment of pro-
duction in the years second quarter.
Reports From Mill Centers.
Advices from principal mill cepters
pointed to tendency by steel and iron
manufacturers to divert much of their
fabricated materials from automobile
parts to railroad equipment, for which
demand is increasing. This inquiry. it
is understood would assume more i'm
posing proportions If the railroads
were in better position to finance re-
uuirements.
1t generally is agreed that new cap
ital issues. even at attractive interest
returns, will meet with little encour-
agement from institutions and indi-
vidual investors until existing abnor-
NAL economic conditions have been
corrected.
Curtaiiment of national extrava-
gance, lower commodity costs, ereduo-
tion of commercial, borrowing and
elimination of speculative loans are
prime essentials in. the opinion of
bankers. il the new era of domestic
and foreign reconstruction is to be
carried to a successful conclusion.

Receipts Of eggs are running fairly
liberal. but in addition to u fair con-
sumptive demand. there is also lib
eral buying on the part of cold stor-
age operations. which results in the
daily offerings being well absorbed at
cents a dozen. The market for live
young chickens is very firm, current
receipts being very light for this time
of the year. Demand is good, espe-
cially for springers one to one and
one-half pounds and winter chickens
two and one-quarter pounds and un-

Receipts were moderate this week,
and all desirable stock has met

now selling equally as well as the
larger stock. Ducks also find ready
sale. Pigeons and young guineas are
scarce. -

Against Spirit and Form of Government

INDIGNATION over the growing
i power of the departments runs like
a thread all through the proceedings
Of the last session. For example, here
are a few remarks by Senator King
of Utah:
"The executive departments and IL
strumentalities of the government
seek to extend their authority: they
clamor for huge appropriations. The
condition of the country and the treas
ury do not influence them. During
the congress we have witnessed de-
mands from executive officers for bill
lions of dollars, when they should
have asked but for hundreds Of mil
lions
"Often. In order to get through ap-
preparations desired, officials Of an
executive branch of the government
viii send letters and kilograms to re-
mote parts Of the land for the pur-
pose of organizing movements TO force
congress TO yield to their demands.
In this way they debauch the people.
exceed their rights, and pervert our
form Of government. The executive
departments are organized for the
