TALES OF STEEL PRICE
WAR IS BEING HEARD
Aggressive Competition Is of
Large Proportions.

Aggressive competition in the steel in
dustry in the last week has assumed such
proportions that on all sides talk of a
price war Is heard. Notwithstanding the
recently announced lower schedules of ali
independents and the Steel Corporation,
reports of continuous shading Of those
prices continue to be heard In some
cases II was said yesterday prices have
been lowered by Independent makers to
a point at which their product shows
them to represent an actual loss.
In view of that situation, it was said,
buyers of steel have become more un-
certain than ever and are holding out
orders In so far as Il has been possible
to do SO. Notwithstanding that attitude,
however. there has been more business
In the last week. according to the Iro,,
Age.
Railroad and construction demand"
that journal points out, "are responsible
for most of the weeks activity in plates
and shapes and the accompanying con-
cessions Of SO to SIS ton in the prices
of the two products. The buying was
not such as to indicate any change In
the general situation. much of it having
been in sight recently awaiting favor
able prices"
The Iron Trade ReUieu says: prices
have yielded, while new tonnage has In
creased In the iron and steel market this
week. On all sides kcenest competition
has prevailed and practically every
product embraced In the recently an
nounced schedule OF lower prices has
been sharply cut Signs are multiplying
that buyers are beginning to awaken to
the attractiveness of present quotations
and new inquiry is the best and the
most diversified that the market has seer
In months. Despite the ragged condition
Of prices the sentiment among producers
Is rising and hopes are being entertained
for better operations in the near future. 4"

CREDIT POSITION EASIER

The Federal Reserve banks of New
York. Boston. Philadelphia and San
Francisco yesterday reduced rates for
all. rediscounts and advances to a uni
form level of 51a per cent. effective to-
day. The rate for rediscounting COM
mercial paper had been per cent. At
the same time information reached New
York that the Federal Reserve Board
had issued ruling that all non-meniber
banks, even the small ones in the agri-
cultural districts, may borrow through
the agency and with the Endorsement of
a member bank in the case of need OF a
cotton loan fund.
Benjamin Strong, Jr.. governor OF the
New York Federal Reserve Bank. stated
in Washington on Tuesday that he had
received assurances from a number OF
the larger banking institutions in the
Second Federal Reserve district that
they would cooperate In the establish
ment of a. cotton loan fund in whatever
amount the situation might demand in
case the facilities offered by the Re-
serve banks and the War. Finance Cor
poraton prove to be inadequate.
I The reduction of rediscounts was
hailed in the financial district as
fresh indication that the money and
credit situation in the East and the far
West was steadily becoming easier. The
decision BY the banking authorities to
make available greater funds for mar
keting the cotton crop was accepted as
an indication that the need for financing
one of the country's best SOURCES or
wealth was recognized fully by men in
position to handle the matter effectively.
The new cut in rates for Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York rediscounts
and advances, an indication of contin-
ued Improvement IN banking conditions
As the third in less than three months.
For eleven months from the end of
May. 1920. to May 4. 1921. the conf
mercial paper rate stood at 7 per cent.
Then came reduction to "a per cent,
followed on June Is by cut to 6 per
cent.
In some instances the actual amount
OF credit extended by New York banks
in the South have fallen off during
recent weeks and some of the bankers
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
recently express the opinion that 100
dark a picture of the financial outlook
in the South has been painted. Here
the bankers are confident that adequate
financing for the carry over of the old
cotton crop and for the orderly market
ing of the new crop is assured without
the development of unusual methods.
The experience of the formation of the
famous $100,000.000 cotton pool early
in the war period was referred TO where
the mere news of such a step was suf-
ficient to permit the solving of the prob
lem with scarcely any recourse to the
pool.

MEXICAN OIL TAX
IS DECLARED FAIR
Southern Republics Agency
SAYS Americans Make Good
Margin of Profit.

American oil producers in Mexico are
making profit of 81 cents barrel on
all heavy crude oil and S. cents barrel

issued yesterday by the financial agency

producers.
The chief costs in producing oil. the

Government taxes and freight to for
eign ports. The cost of drilling a we'll
in the Zacamixtle-Ama fields. is was
said, was 100000. The yearly cost of
operation, including depreciation. inter-
,sst. &C. is fixed at about cents a bar
rel. In the Panuco region the drilling
cost is said 10 be $4,000 and the operat-
ing charges about AZ cents a barrel
The charge for piping the oil from the
wells TO the terminal at Tuxpan is fixed
at az CsntS q barrel ana the cost or
piping from Panuco to Tampico is about
cents barrel. Freight charges to
Galveston are 22la cents, TO New Orleans
