Steel Industry Begins
To Regain Momentum

Conditions in the iron and steel in
dustry are beginning to improve, ac-
cording to the current issue of "The
Iron Age" with shipments Of products
becoming more regular. Much of the
betterment is due to concentration on
routing and on making up solid trains.
for the return and replacement of rail-
road labor is proceeding slowly" the
paper explains.
There is considerable demand for
iron for prompt shipment, but no large
sales have been made. Prices ara firm
and more furnaces have advanced quo
tations, usually, however, without re-
cording sales.
Traffic congestion has reached an
almost hopeless state in England, and
on the northeast coast fully 100000
tons of material cannot be moved.
Some steel extras have been advanced
100 per cent. Owing to high British
prices, orders for iron and steel cast
ings have been placed in Holland"
The position of manufacturing con-
sumers of iron and steel has been be-
coming steadily worse" according to
"The Iron Trade Review" "The pinch
of reduced receipts of raw material and
growing stocks of unshipped products
has been felt more and more. Despite
the severe handicap, pig iron produc-
ton In April made a creditable show
ing. Price irregularities in finished
steel are more in evidence, and there
is a clear disposition on the part Of
some of the independent companies to
get away from the recent premium lev

LEATHER-Tanners Report
lylactivity in Fancy Marker

Trade in the fancy leather market
is dull, with little of interest-develop
ing, and until cessation of labor
trouble is at hand no material improve
ment is expected. Tanners, where con-
dltions warrant it, are curtaling pro-
duction, and consequently supplies are
not becoming unduly burdensome de-
spite the quiet spell Sellers, as a
whole, are strongly opposed to making
concessions or making reductions on
all grades, believing such action will
not induce trading. Optimists from
the selling standpoint still hold that
prices are remaining steady, if not

ton of buying activities In feathers of
every character. There are, however,
quarters that continue to contend thar
a general reduction in prices Of two
to three cents foot on all grades of

SILKS-Tratle Going
to BARGAINING Basis

Definite or fixed prices for silk goods
have been abandoned by many in the
trade and transactions in many cases
are now made on bargaining basis
This movement, started by some of
the smaller jobbers, has spread and
now includes some Of the leading pro
ducers. Buyers who are now in the
market assert that concessions can be
obtained from leading manufacturers
If the buyer persists in demanding
them.
Apparently the market is carrying
a great surplus of cheap materials, par
ticularly paterson made" georgettes
and satins. Yesterday a small manu-
facturer from Paterson was "peddlinr'
wash satins around the trade at 81 a
yard. A large importing house offered
for sale 500 pieces of 12-momme Jap
anese pongee at STA cents a yard. A
few weeks ago the lowest price quoted
IN the open market was Sl.25 and many
importers have shipments coming in
for which they paid S1.35 yard. Jap
anese silk mills, in selling to American
importers, in many cases demanded let
ters of credit, SO that despite the drop
IN the Japanese market the importe rs
have little chance to cancel their
orders.

COTTONS--Conuerters
Report Light Sales

Light sales are reported by most OF
the converters of cotton goods catering
to the retail and garment manufactur-
ing trades. In the main retailers are
buying more heavily than are the ap-
parel makers. The latter, while doing
good business In cotton dresses and
blouses, anticipated their wants some
time ago and are out Of the market
at present. Some movement is taking
place in sheer fabrics for summer wear
with background materials occupy
ing more prominent position than
they have for many seasons previously
Navy blue and brown grounds are
especially popular, it is said.
Some Of the smaller converters are
disposed to make slight price conces-
sions to move stock on hand, but the
large operators are holding firmly to
prices established some time ago. Most
Of the converters have gray goods com
ing to them from the mills on back or
der. They are not particularly alarmed
at the prospect Of stoppage in pro-
duction by the New England strike, as
they believe much of the goods they
have on order have been made and are
held up by the transportation conges-
tion.

Monday are believed to have been com
pleted: 1t understood in the trade
that Funsten Brothers & Co. have ar
ranged with New York and possibly
st. Louis bankers for the extension
of ample credits to the trade to per-
nit dealers to operate freely in the
sale. Several large dealers who are
well fixed financially are prepared, ac-
cordlng to rumors, to grant extensions
of credits to the small dealers who
have purchased skins from them until
the new season opens up and demand
for furs reappears. Throughout the
trade there is feeling that the finan-
clal situation, which was Slowly fore
ing the small dealers to the wall. has
been eased up at the instigation of the
large operators who have good quanti-
ties of high priced skins on hand.
Regarding the declines noted at the
recent sale in New York, it is apparent
that they were merely nominal, be-
cause most owners bought back their
offerings. Manufacturing furriers as
sert that they are unable to purchase
raw or dressed skins at reductions.
A possible exception TO this is marmot,
a cheap fur which apparently passed
its usefulness at the prices asked some
time ago.
While some manufacturing furriers
and fur garment jobbers have already
booked good orders for fall, they have
not yet begun the cutting up of stocks.
If real slump occurs they believe
that large cancellations on the busi-
ness already written will take place
and they do not wish to be caught with
large stocks Of made up garments on
hand. On the whole the fur manufac-
turing trade appears to be supplied
with raw stock enough to last until
