.DUL[NESS IN STEEL
AS HOLIDAY |! LOOMS
Pig Iron in Demand by Manu-.
facturers-Less Activity
in Copper.

NEW YORK, December 1O.-De-
mand for steel is Quieting' down in
anticipation of the usual holiday sea-
son dullness, and. as far as new busi-
ness Is concerned. the market is in
active. PRODUCERS are fairly well
supplied with orders, however, and
are expected to be able to about
maintain their present rate of pro-
duction, and prices are steady. Re-
cent orders placed by railroads for
rails and metal for new equipment
and orders from oil companies for
pipe have supplied most of the ac-
tivity.
Pig iron Is in demand from leading
steel manufacturers, and. as there Is
little or no accumulation in the hands
of producers or consumers. the mar
ket Is firmly held at old levels. :.
Copper a Shade Easier.
In copper. while some further ex-
port business has been reported, the
domestic demand has been. less ac-
tive, and the tone a shade easier
owing to slightly freer offerings by
some of the smaller producers or
dealers.
The larger agencies have fully
maintained their quotations, how
ever. and SO far there has been COM
paratively little shading of prices.
The export association is said to be
taking business at IA cents for cleo
trolytic, elf. European ports. and
producers are asking from 1875 to
400 for prompt and future deliver
les. although some lots may be OBJ
tainable in the open market at about
13A for immediate shipment.
Lead in strong Position.
Lead is still in a strong position.
Large producers are practically sold
up for the current month, and buy
ers are showing more interest as re-
CARDS their January needs.
Tin advanced nearly a cent pound
during the week London and the
east lost part of their early gain. but
this fact was Offset by the improve
ment in sterling exchange and en-
iarged inquiry from trade interests.
Zinc has been firm. and. while pres
ent business is slow. an improvement
in the brass trade encourages hope
of more inquiry from this line later
on, and selling pressure, therefore, is
light.
Antimony continues quiet and
steady.

International Credits Market
Topie-German Repara-
tons Dominant.

NEW YORK. December 10.-Inter-
national credits assumed q command
ing position in the financial markets
this week on the buoyancy shown by
allied exchanges. The question of
German reparations became a DOM
inant issue. authoritative advices
pointing more directly to a readjust-
ment of such payments.
/ Official figures for the first eight
months Of the year, showing the
enormous increase of French imports
to Germany and Developments in the
Irish situation, also were outstanding
features in the exchange situation.
The ushering in of the final month
of the year was characterised by
greater caution on the part Of traders
in the stock market. This resulted
in visible reduction of the inquiry
for both stocks and bonds and mod
crate reaction of quoted values.
Rails Show Most Pressure.
OF the more representative shares,
rails showed the most persistent pres
sure. Their reversal was chiefly due
to the heaviness of st. Paul issues.

clearing house loans and discounts
was something of surprise, in view
of the supposed drain on local re-

EVENING UP IN COTTON
FEATURE OF THE MARKET

NEW YORK, December 1o.-Busi-
ness in the cotton market was COM
paratively quiet this morning and
much of 1t probably represented
evening up of accounts for over the
week end and the governments crop
report, which is to be published at z
o'clock on Monday. The optimistic
views of trade prospects seemed to
find some encouragement In the gem
eral news. judging from market
actions were followed by rallies,
with closing prices steady at a net
advance of 3 to II points. jan
uary contracts sold up from 1852
to 1880 and closed at 1870. compared
with 1857 at the close Of the previous
day.
The market opened steady at an
advance of. 3 to 10 points on over
night buying orders and a scattering
demand, which was promoted by
favorable week end reviews of the
goods trade and reports of slightly
larger spot sales in the southern
markets late yesterday. Part of the
buying was for Liverpool and for
eign trade account, but the opening
bulge met a good deal of profit-tak-
ing and prices eased off during the
middle of the morning.
Advices are that New England mills
now are more fully employed than
they have been at any time previous
ly since the slump of last year. Lon
don advices said that British trade
prospects were brighter and that
Lancas shire was receiving more in
Quiries for goods.

visions barely held their ground on
the Chicago Board Of Trade today. AZ
the finish wheat was u to ~ net

were u to Y lower. Pork and lard
finished unchanged. but ribs lost 81
points. Wheat started with a weak
undertone and there was an early
break when a trade rumor OF a NOR

drop attracted some buying. but the
trade fell away and the second hour

Argentina returns indicated about q
normal crop instead of the big yield
that some traders had looked for.
This movement was short-lived and
prices sagged again at the close.
Corn was under pressure but resist.
ed well because of continued export
demand and the fact that outside
markets were outbidding Chicago in
the cash market. The sellers pointed
to increased country offerings and
predicted increased arrivals for next

lowed corn.

TRAINED LEADERS
FOR LABOR

Organized labor in the United States can make no better move than to turn its attention toward the education Of leaders. For the progress of labor will depend large ly on its ability to bring forward real statesmen. The American Fed eratiou has demonstrated that the most solid steps are made when workers show themselves Jo be re sponsibIe and conservative and the responsibility and conservatism of a group are largely dependent on the vision and judgement of the men on the platform. Such qualities are produced almost invariably only ny long trainiug-most often by actual experience. but they may be culu- vated in many eases by careful acad- em.c work.
 The need for real leaders for la boy st this time in the United States IS almost calamiJous. In spite Of the number of his chal- lenees ana .he numerous attempts 10 unhorse 7im. it is hard to say what the American Federation would do without sam Gompers. In the garment trades every effort has been made TO find someone who could replace Sidney Hiumau. so far without success.

Washington, Feb. 4.-(By MaiD-
Despite chaotic financial and bust
