Plans to 1922
For Recovery

automobile manufacturers have been
keeping their stocks low and have
little steel on hand. A sustained de-
mand from this source is looked for
early in 1922, to support production
schedules.
An encouraging feature of the sheet
market is the fact that prices are be-
ing we'll sustained and the year is ex-
pected to close with black sheets firm
at &c and galvanized at DC. These
quotations generally apply to new
business, and have been in effect for
about month. Some of the automo-
bile interests, including Ford Motor
company, are giving some attention TO
their requirements for the rst quarter
OF 1922, and buyers are showing a
willingness to make some placements.
However, sheet buying is largely at a
low ebb for the time being. and addi-
tional suspensions over the holiday
period are looked for
There is considerable inquiry in the
coke market, due to expiration of ex-
isting contracts. The A NJ. Byers
Company, Pittsburgh, is seeking 5000
tons of by-product coke monthly for
it's Matte blast furnace at Girard, de-
livery to commence February l. The
company seeks prices on three months
and five months deliveries. The
Sharon Steel Hoop Company is like
wise inquiring for 10000 tons of coke
monthly, for first quarter or first half
delivery. The coke is required for it's
Mary blast furnace at Lowellville
Both interests have been supplied
under contract with Valley steel
works interest, and it is not unlikely
that present contracts will be ex-
tended. q addition. the Trumbull-
Cliffs Furnace Company, Warren, is
seeking tonnage Of coke for first half
delivery.
Plates are generally weaker in this
district, with operations reduced to
negligible proportions. One current
inquiry involves LOO tons of tank
plates.

Sugar at New Low

That dehation has not yet run it's

emphasized yesterday in the establish

will permit the operation OF the law Of
supply and demand, but it has been so
long held in check that emergence from
the present overstocAed situation is
likely to be slow. Meanwhile. the Zayas
administration has not taken those
steps which the bankers, supported by
the State Department at Washington,
hold must be effected before financial
aid from the United States is feasible.

American Agricultural Chemical

The extent to which the American
Agricultural Chemical Company has
succeeded in reduing its bank loans
during the last half year is estimated
at so per cent. On June 80 such loans
totaled $15,522, ,o0O so that it will be
seen that the outstanding aggregate is
not unduly large. Liquidation has
ben accomplished mainly through set
tlement of accounts receivable and
only in minor measure from inven-
tory. The company is expected is ex-
pected to be able to clear up the re-
mainder of these loans next year, max
ing more permanent financing i'm
probable.

The Old Order Holds

When the railroads were returned 10
private control investment bankers
predicted that the carriers would
break away from their old banking af-
fliations and borrow where funds
could be obtained most cheaply. Moth
ing of the kind has happened. At
tempts have been made by outside l.
terests to break up existing combina-
tions, but uniformly without success
Railroad corporations prefer to deal
with the bankers they know if the
price they have to pay is not exorbi-
tant, and competition insures that it is
not. The same applies to industrial
concerns, as has been strikingly dem
onstrated during the last week For
eign financing offers virtually the only
free field for competition, except ad-
vertised offerings by states and cities.

 ion Next Week.

If present tentative negotiations are brought to a successful conclusion, New Britain may have within the next few months, new industrial concern which while small at present, gives promise of steady development and growth.
 There is at the present time a hard ware novelty manufacturing concern To- cated in New Jersey, not far from New York. At present it employees about 12O hands, but in normal times it's force consists of about 25O employees. This concern is comparatively young and as the demand for it's products is steadily growing there is every reason to believe that the firm will continue to expand.
 This firm is seeking a location in New Britain, either a suitable building already erected or an available plot of land on which to build. Its present location is not desirable, owing to the difficulty often experienced in getting the right sort of employees. The off, cials of the concern feel that New Britain offers a most desirable field for permanent location and next week the president of the company will visit this city and at that time may close deal which will result in the factory locating here.
