Uncertainty as to how and when the
British Government will dispose of its
heavy holdings tends to cloud the situa-
ton; its auction in the second week In
December resulted in a sale of barely
1900 bales out of 74O0 offered. If the
market were called upon to absorb
within comparatively short period of
time the holdings of the British Gov
ernment. it might establish new levels
substantially below those of today; but
hope is expressed that the government
will sustain the market by selling grad
ually at prices that are essentially
peggcd. Jobbers and manufacturers
have rcfrained from committing them
selves for future requirements until it
can be determined how the winter trade
is cutting into accumulated stocks.

The steel market promises to become
more active, since in the past few weeks
the buying has been below the rate of
consumption. A mild revival in market
activity is expected this month. The
general revival is looked for at some
later date.
In adjusting the price ratio, reduc-
tiOns have been made in strip steel, hot
rolled strip being put at $3.50 and cold
rolled at S6.25. Last August prices
were $3.50 and $3.50. Pipe remains at
two prices, but the difference between
independent and steel corporation
prices is only from 81 to $40 ton, and
ths'm may disappear within few weeks.
Pig Iron Is Still Dull
The pig iron market continues stag
nant with additional furnaces out of
blast and others contemplating blowing
out. Within a-few weeks scarcely any
merchant furnaces are likely to be in
blast. More than so per cent Of the
merchant blast furnace capacity of the
county is idle.
It is reported that the railroads soon

NEWSPAPER FAIRNESS AND

1T is the policy of every newspaper
based upon public service to give its
READERS the news both accurately and
sfairly. At times it is vietimized by
Apesons with malicious intent who pur-
Iposely give it wrong information, and
then again its informants, without in
tention, err in supplying information.
In such instances as the latter a
newspaper should be willing any mis-
statement. This is the policy Of the
Ledger and it makes every effort to
have both its information correct and
TO detail the news fairly to everyone.
