MIDYALE SLASHES
PRICES FOR STEEL
Reduction Is to Below Level
Fixed by Industrial Board
in March, 1919.

The first important break in steel
prices below the level maintained by
the United States Steel Corporations
since the schedule approved by the In

and Ordnance Company on Monday be-
gan to quote plates shapes and bars'l
at sg25 hundred pounds. At thatsI
price those products are being soldil
from SO. to SIS ton below the In
dustrial' Board schedule and the Steel
Corporations level.
Oflcials OF the Midvaie company
refused yesterday TO discuss the
cut in prices. Nor would they
say whether or not the cut fore--
shadowed another cut in wages.

been made In the company's Cambria

however, in we'll Informed quarters that
Midvale's management had adopted a.
policy of maintaining operations and
obtaining business at any reasonable
price. Many communities in Pennsyi-.
vania have been built up around Mid
vale factories ana depend almost en-
tirely on them for their existence, and
1t was with the view of keeping those
communities as busy as possible that
the cuts were made, it was said.
Whether or not other independent
producers OF steel products would fol-
low AIidvale's lead in cutting prices
could not be learned yesterday. ON
cials of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
don would not talk on the question or
prices, nor would those of other inde-
pendents. Judge L. ii. Gary. chair
man of the United States Steel Cor
poration. likewise refused TO make any
comment on Nidvale's action.
The steel business among independents
has been almost at a standstill for
weeks. Plants have been close down
entirely in some cases. and In others
they have been operating all the way
from Is to so per cent. of capacity.
Steel men believe that the reduction of
prices will have a stimulating effect
on business and permit resumption Of
activities on a more nearly normal
basis.

SLUMP IN EXPORTS
CALLED TEMPORARY
Bankers Regard Condition as
Due to Unstable Foreign
Exchange.

The decrease of American exports to
Europe, mentioned in special cable des-
patch appearing in THE NEW YORK
HERALD yesterday morning. is but tenn
porary condition, in the opinion of bank
ers, and is due entirely to the unstable
condition of foreign exchange. Until
the European money markets are placed
on more stable footing and the process
of deflation has been completed the
amount of American exports will con-
tinue. to fluctuate, they say.
Figures obtained from the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce in the
Custom House show that Americas ex-
ports for 1920 totalled $S.22S.759.748, as
compared with s7,920.4 .425,990 the pre-
vious year. The exports to Europe alone
in 1920 amounted to $4,233.587 .5SS. and
the year previous they totalled $4,994.-
S12,790, showing a decrease of more than
$3.50, 10000
This decrease was particularly in those
countries affected most by the war and
the economic difficulties that followed in
its path. England, for instance, i'm
ported $685. .029.947 worth of merchan-
disc from the United States while in
1919 she imported goods worth Se,278,-
$50. 524. France dropped from SS9S. .359.-
996 to S676, ,19S.257 and Italy from $442,-
676.s42' to s371,767,274.
Although the United. States stiIl is
technically at war with Germany a total
of S311.437.377 worth of American goods
was shipped to Germany during the year.
In 1919 the total was but S92 2.761.314.
American imports in Spain jumped from
S102, ,699 in 1919 to $151. 1.440,032 last
year.
Authorities on export also see reflected
in the decrease the fact that Europe
gradually is getting back on her feet.
During the first year after the war. they
say. Europe had great need for both
manufactured products and raw materi-
ais. Now that her factories are work.
ing once more the need for the manu.
factured products is gradually dwindling,
but she must still have staples.
