BUYERS OF STEEL
LIMIT PURCHASES
Confine Orders to Immediate
Needs-Copper Is Less
7 Active.

NEW YORK. December 3.-The
volume of new business in steel Is
small and producers are hardly main
tanning their average production OF
80 per cent of capacity. buyers con-
tinue to limit their purchases to con
form with their immediate needs, and
the outlook for an enlargement OF
operations during the coming month Is
not particularly encouraging. There
are large orders in prospect. however,
as the railroads are expected to buy
heavily, while leading oil companies
will be in the market for pipe and
constructive steel, and with this busi-
ness pending prices are steadily held.
Pig iron is steady with fair trade
in small lots.
Copper Demand Less Active.
In copper there has been rather a
less active demand during the week.
and it is reported that representa-
tives of South American companies
have been offering metal for ship
ment over the second quarter of next
year at prices slightly below the
views of leading domestic producers.
So far. the latter have shown little
disposition to shade quotations of
13$, to II cents. and it is believed
that the statistical position is still
Improving. There has probably been
some slight inc"raSe in the prouuc-
ton oi United States smelterS and
imports have been larger, fut trdue
authorities estimate that there was
a further reduction of about $4,000
400 pounds in the available supply
of refined copper last month.
Condition Of Other Metals.
Lead has been steady and un-
changed here. but higher in the west.
Demand continues satisfactory.
Tin is higher on the sharp rise
in exchange which has stimulated de-
mand Stocks are decreasing and
American deliveries of foreign tin
show an increase.
Zinc interests report a light de-
rnand from consumers. but. owing to
the small output and light offer
inss. producers expect an advance.
There is some inquiry for the first
quarter of 1922, but buyers find prices
too high.
Autimony quiet but steady.

CORAL ISLANDS MAY LOSE ROMANCE TINGE
Science to Use Them to Prove
 Ocean Subsistence

Honolulu. T. IT.. Sept 2.--Tne coral reefs Of tho South Seas. may graduate from their position as mere contributors of local color to fiction and take a place in the annals Of science as factors in settling the age old problem of tho sub hidcncc of tho Pacific ocean.
 This is the opinion of Dr. w IT. Hobbs. of the University of Michignn. who left here recently on an cxpIora- ton tour Of tho South Seas under tho auspices of the United States and Jap nnese governments with the view of casting light upon the subaidence or sinking Of tho Pacific bed.
 He said that his investigations of the structure and depth of the romance tinged reefs would seek to prove or disprove tho subsistence theories cvolv- cd by Charles Darwin nnd James n. Dana, noted scientists. who toured the world separately in sailing vessels at about the same time years ago. Each arrived at approximately tho same the ory-that the atolls or coral islands. rising from the depths of the sea and forming laEoons surrounded by reefs of coral. were built up gradually while tho Pacific bed sank thousands of feet.
 Recently Professor R. A. Daily Of hnlNeThHy NNpINsAfh lHe Int~ ory that when the great glaciers of the Ice age covered Europe and northern North America, they took SO much wa ter from tho ocean in the formation of the countless millions of tons of icc. that tho ocean level dropped about for ty fathoms. Consequently tho waves cut cliffs and terraces much lower than those which had oxistscd When the glaciers melted. the water returned to the ocean. flooded shores and damned river mouths. These actions arc suf- ficient. Professor Daily contcndcd. to account for many evidences of the sub sidence of the ocean floor.
 pr. Hobbs said tho question could bc settled only by boring deeply into n cor al atoll and into barrier reef. He said one of his chief problems would be to find suitable atoll. He said the Japanese government hopes to place a warship at his disposal to examine coral formations in the West Caroline Islands.
 From Manila pr. Hobbs will leave on tho United States minesweeper Bit tern to study islands about the Philip pines. particularly in tho Sulu and Gel ebes seas.
