"The Iron Trade Review" to-day will
say: Growing expectations of an early
resumption next year tends to offset
the quiet closing of decidedly poor
twelve, month period in the iron and
steel industry. The final week of 1921
has been characterized by quiet mar
ket, slowed down rate Of production
and the general evidence of suspended
interest. Producers are counting upon
increasing production before the new
year is many weeks old, and the Steel
Corporation is planning a so per cent
schedule for the near future"

American Crops Value

Total This Year Put at $685.
$4,000, Based on Prices
Paid at Farms December /

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The i'm
portant farm crops of the United
States this year were valued at $685.
$4,000 to-day by the Department of
Agriculture in it's final estimates of the
year. That is almost s3,40O 900 900 less
than last years crops were worth and
$4,000, 100000 less than the crops of two
years ago, when high prices prevailed
for farm products. The values are
based on prices paid to farmers on De-
cember 1 and the crops comprise about
80 per cent of the value of all farm
crops.
There were only two billion-dollar
crops this year-corn and hay-while
last year four crops we're valued at a
billion dollars or more. Production
was below last year for almost every
crop, although the acreage sof the i'm
portant crops was slightly larger, ex-
cept cotton.

Chief Counsel For Mrs. StilIman Has

NEW YORK, July I9.-William +.
Bleakley, city Judge OF Yonkers and law
partner of John F. Brennan, chief coun-
letter yesterday to the attorneys for
Gleason and John +. Mack, guardian
for baby Guy Stillman, suggesting that
hearings in the divorce suit be adj
j0uTned until autumn because of the i'll
ness of Mr. Brennan. The hearings
were to have been resumed next Mon
day at Poughkeepsie, but Mr.. Bleakley
requests they be set over until October,
when he feels certain, Mr.. Brennan will
have reguined his health.
Mr.. Brennan has been suffering from
slight attack of pneumonia since last
Friday night Physicians reported his
condition yesterday as favorable, but
pointed ont that the crisis OF the all
ment viii not be reached until Friday.
Some concern is felt because of the law
yer : advanced age, he being III his sew
entieth year.
The charges against Mrs. Stillman and
Baby Guy are interviewer so closely
that it has been deemed inadvisable for
Mr.. Mack to proceed with his side of
the suit, as has been suggested. Mr..
Mack, it is generally understood, has
three more witnesses to call, and after
their testimony is in, it has been stated,
he will ask for a decision in favor OF
his client. But what affects Mrs. Still
man legally in the suit also affects Baby
Guy, and it is because of this that
Mr.. Bleakley wrote asking for an ad-
lOurnment.
