By STUART r. WEST.

NEW YORK. September 17.-The
most significant happening in the past
week has been the revelation in cer-
tain branches Of the steel trade that
not only had the surplus supply in
the hands of consumers got down low.
but that it had been reduced to alb
normally small dimensions. The
trouble with the steel industry has
mainly been a state Of overproduction.
Last years slump caught steel buy
ers with an unusually heavy stock.
and, when business In their own lines
fell on. this stock became large
surplus. which had to be used up be-
ing from the steel mills.
It was evident that the turn would
come when this overhanging supply
was exhausted. and, while wire and
sheet steel are not the whole steel
trade by any means. the fact that
buyers have been coming into the
market in these two departments. to
replenish their stocks. and that prices
already have had q very sharp re-
bound, removes all doubt that the
steel situation as 3 whole Is on the
mend. =

year certificates amounted to $1.400,-
100000. against the total offered of

These proofs of the capacity Of the
investment demand come logically at
time when lenders are pressing their

rates of the year.
