from q political and g. financial stand

party are striving for political control
through direct action. The threatened
strike is menace to British industrial
prosperity. If it goes into effect a
few days may see industry in that
country paralyzed and transportation
virtually brought to standstill
Money in England. as nearly every
where, is dear and difficult to obtain,
even for legitimate enterprises. This
is due in part to the fact that England
has made heavy shipments of mer-
chandise TO Europe, payment for which
has not yet been made, and in part to
the increased cost of raw materials
and wages. Nevertheless, the English
are working with determination to
cope. with the situation. and influential
bankers believe that conditions will
adjust themselves, in time without
serious disturbance"
While abroad Mr.. Heckscher visited

several of them long steps have al

Buyers Show Little
Interest i'm Steel
Pig Iron Production Increases
i'm August, but Demand De.
clines Further

With production of pig iron increas-
ing, as shown by figures compiled for
August by The Iron Age, buyers are
showing decreased interest, apparently
believing that they can get what steel
they will need in 1921 when they want
it and at prices not enough above
present quotations to cause them to
place orders now, according to the
weekly review Of the situation in the
trade.
Export trade is holding up we'll, it
is said. Regarding production and
prices, the paper say&
Pressure for early supplies of
everything in finished steel. with the
possible exception of tin plate and
wire products, has disappeared.
Pig iron production in August,
under better railroad operation, rose
to point only exceeded this year by
March and in 1919 by January alone.
Ihe total was 3,147.402 gross tons, or
l0l,52 tons day, as against 3,O67,043
tons in July, or 93,965 tons a day.
September promises further increase.
with the large volume Of unshipped
orders that is on the books of the
mills: prices are little affected by the
halt in buying. but the basis of future
contracting is concededly two-sided
question, whereas in July the shortage
in steel supply seemed the decisive
factor. While large rail orders are
expected for 1921, the $50 price talked
Of by some sellers is questioned by
the railroads. At the same time there
is no assurance that the SAT price of
the Steel Corporation will continue,
its rail bookings being subject to the
price that may be fixed on January L."
The Iron Trade Review will say to-
day: :.Lcss talk of price advances is
to be heard in the market. The likeli-
hood of the Steel Corporation making
general upward revision of it's sched-

Advance i'm Cotton.
On Weather Report
Followed by Drop
Market Closes Steady After
Violent Fluctuations ON
Crop Situation and Real
izing as Result of Rise

The big advance of Tuesday morn
ing was followed by violent fluctuations
in the cotton market yesterday. After
selling up to 27.40 early, October ad
sanced to $3.50, making new high
ground for the movement and q re-
covery of &c pound from the low
records of last week. Reactions fol-
lowed with that delivery, closing at
27.95, or points net higher, while
later months were 2 to rs points net
lower. with the final tone steady.
The days advances reflected increas-
ing anxiety over the new crop progress,
weather in the belt and the bullish
weekly report of the Weather Bureau,
while the first ginning returns of the
season furnished additional evidence
of late crop in all sections but the
extreme Southwest. There were also
reports Of a slightly better trade de-
mand and frmcr spot basis, but
hedge selling was in evidence from
time to time during the day and the
market was rather unsettled in the
late trading.
vance of points on October, but gem
orally s to 10 points lower, and the
early break carried prices SO to 50
points below Tuesdays final figures.
Recent buyers for reaction seemed
to be liquidating and there was con-
siderable Southern selling, but after
the early offerings had been ABSORBED
the market turned frmer on renewed
covering. This was promoted by the
showing of the weather map and the
weekly report, which read more bullisI7
than expected, and the advance was
not checked until active months were
az to 63 points above the previous days
close. The demand from shorts then
tapered off. and there was realizing
which was responsible for closing re-
actions.
Private cables attributed an early
advance in Liverpool to covering on
unfavorable crop reports and the later
decline to liquidation and hedge SELL
ing.
The census report showed 3e7,241
bales ginned prior to September 1.
against 142,625 slast year and 1,03S,678

was moderately full, but the returns
for other states were all light, except
in the case of California.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported, were generally SO points
higher to so points lower, with Houston
reporting sales of over $4,000 bales on
the basis of $3.50 for middling.
