DEMAND FOR STEEL
TR|F[E MORE BRISK
Business Nevertheless Con-
tinues IrreguIar-Pig
Iron Active.

NEW YORK, August 20-The de-
mand Tor steel is trifle more active,
put business continues irregular and
buyers are doing little more than pro-
vide for their immediate needs. Prices
hoid about steady, although producers
are very anxious to secure whatever
orders are in the market. and, 1t is
thought. would be willing to shade
values on lots Of more than the usual
small proportions. The facts that
sales are not falling off further dur
ing the summer season is considered
promising. however. and the trade
feels hopeful of improvement in gen
eral conditions in the fall.
Pig iron is more active and prices
are f1rmer. Buyers have shown more
interest than for many months. and
the increased activity has stimulated
vance their prices.
Copper Continues Quiet.
Copper has been quiet during the
week. Prices have held steady in
absence of selling pressure. The un-
settled ruling of foreign exchange and
weakness in London had rather de-
pressing effect on sentiment and
operated against any revival Of ex-
port business. The decline in the
London market, which carried futures
to the lowest levels since last March.
have been attributed largely to specu-
lative liquidation, however, while the
rally in the mark was among the
more favorable features. Small lots
of electrolytic are still said to be
available around IL cents for spot
and prompt delivery. with producers
quoting 12h to I'm for September
and October.
New Low Basis for Tin.
Tin declined to a new low basis due
to increasing supplies and weakness
in London, but later rallied partially.
Lead was steady with demand salts
factory and producers well sold up
for the month.
Zinc was inactive and unchanged.
Sellers refused to shade prices fur
ther, claiming that current quotations
show no profit. Consumers have been
mostly well supplied. and. therefore.
see no reason to raise their limits.
Anthony was dull; owing to the
possibility of tariff changes, less
stock is being carried in bond.

Sales of print cloths in the Fall
River district for the week were esti-
mated at 1000 pieces, and the cur
tailment of production 10000. The
moderate increase in mill produc-
ton there was said to result from
increase in running time rather than
the unemployment Of idle machinery.
At the close of business yesterday
10000 bales of cotton were report
ed on shipboard awaiting clearance.
compared with only 10000 at the
same time last year.
NEW ORLEANS, La. August 20
Week end reviews of trade in gen.
eral were considered favorable in the
cotton market today, and around the
opening prices were put to points
higher in consequence. Last prices
were at net gains of 3 to 4 points,
with October at 1866. At the lowest
October traded at 1851.
Weather conditions over the belt
offered little that was new and stim-
ulated little business either way.
The continuance of the drought in
Texas was considered highly unfa-
vorable, but offsetting this to some
extent were the prospects of more
moderate temperatures in the west
ern belt.
