Iron and Steel Review
Cleveland, O., January 6.-(Specias.) J. The Iron Trade Review says:

Cleveland, O.. January 6-CSpecias.)- The Iron Trade Review says:
 A year of annazfng contrasts in prices general policies fully describes the iron
 and steel market of 1920. Following largely the course traced by all leading lines of manufacturing the iron and steel industry has passed through feversh
 period of excessive demand, inflated values and disordered conditions of trade only to find itself back or below where it started 12 months previously. Not since 1914 has the immediate future stretched
 so uncertainty. This is no less 50 be- cause the year ends with the anomaly
 of one large fraction of the industry op- eratfng nearly on a maximum basis, and ! with bookings calculated to sustain this I activity for some months. while the ma- jority of producers, bereft of objects ana with outputs severely curtailed. are cut [ ting operating costs and prices, looking to new period of vigorous competition. How this situation may be reconciled holds the key to the general conditions to prevail during the next few months. Prices of iron and steel in the year described complete arc at the beginning of 1921 They were virtually on the same level which has prevailed in the latter part of November, 1919. when the upward mONo OI tnC iu6I AcL Llh<4l WAS tO COIl- tinue for many months was in motion. The market begins the new year, there fore, on generally lower basis of Y to s ton.
 Railroad buying in 1e2o while better than for several years past. was disap- pointing. The brightest feature was the resumption of rail buying for 1921 delivery on a scale comparable with pre-war years. Probably 2.oco.00O tons were on rail mill books at the opening of the
 new year for rolling during the next 12
 months Foreign trade in iron and steel
 continued in large volume during the
 year, despite the unfavprable basis of ex-
 change For the first 10 months of the
 year exports reached a grand total of
 3.s9l .s67 gross tons, in 1919 tho total out
 ward movement was 400,0o4 tons. Tne
 1920 output has boon good from . ton-
 mage standpoint, being the fourth largest
 total in history. It was exceeded by 1s1c,
 1917 and 1SiS and showed a substantial
 gain over 1919. Coke pig iron output in the year was approximately 36. 10000 tons,
 compared with 3O549,9S0 tons in 1919 The
 output of steel ingots was between 4o.UU,-
 ooo and 405O0.oO0 tons. This compares
 with 33.se4, ,M5 tons in 1919. Shipments Of
 iron ore from the Lake Superior region
 in 1soo were approximately 6o1oo,ooo tons.

Liverpool was an active buyer here, however. while there was a distinct broadening of commission house demand, and the market soon turned firmer, with May selling up to 1o.zlc.

QUICK JUMP IN GRAIN CAUSED BY EMERGENCY
 TARIFF NOW IN SIGHT
By As.eciatnd Pr.s.

Chicago, January e-Belief that an emergency tariff on grain was certain led to quick jump today in the values of wheat. Prices closed buoyant at 90 41zc net higher, with March N 73%D1. 4 and May H.sT4@1. .s711. Corn finished at 7sdalzc advance; oats unchanged at Ac up, and provisions at rise of 1saaoc.
 At first the wheat market showed considerable depression as a result of the failure of the British-American ContI- mental bank in London. Declines. how ever. were checked by the fact that ster- ling exchange was up notwithstanding the bank failure. For a vhila traders showed notable disposition to 20 slow on both sides of the market. Then came sudden news that Senator Penrose had announced an intention to support the enactment of an emergency tariff measure. wild rush to the bull side followed, shorts especially taking it for granted that the success of the bill had been practically assured, including a sub stantial duty likely to put out Canadian wheat largely, if not altogether, from the United States.
 Corn and oats swayed with wheat, but kept within narrow range. Liberal re- ceipts of corn counted something of an offset to the bullish influence of wheat strength Provisions rallied with grain.

LIVELY AND BROAD
 WAS WALL STREET. 1: TRADING YESTERDAY
Dealings In Stocks Was Most Active During Final Hour Under Leadership of
 CrucibIe Steel
By Associated Press

New York, January 6.-Trading on : the stock exchange today was lively and broad and price movements were mainly toward substantially higher levels. Selling to insure profits caused occasional reactions, but strong tone prevailed among favorite issues at the close.
 The advance derived much of its ' impetus from further accumulation of copper, motor, steel, equipments and shipping issues, together with many miscellaneous shares which suffered severely in the December liquidation, but now are in demand because of seemingly improved trade conditions. Other propelling factors were fur nished by the days news which strengthened the growing conviction that further downward revision of commodity prices is exerting a more beneficial effect in many lines of business.
 Foreign exchange opened strong, but soon cancelled the greater part of yes terday's surprising advance, especially British bills. Cables reported the sgs pension of an international bank in the British metropolis and the failure of a Liverpool cotton firm.
 For the most part the recent sharp rise in foreign remittances is believed to prAceed mainly from speculative quarters. where the short interest in sterling and francs is said to have been unusually extensive.
 Dealings in stocks were most active during the final hour under leadership of crucible steel, general asphalt and the rubber group, these and kindred is- 7 sues showing net gains of 2 to 5 : points Oils also hardened. but were : restrained by pressure against Mexi- : can petroleum and rails forfeited part -sof their advance.

POUND STERLING GOES UP
By Associated Press

New York, January 6.--The small advance in the American cable trans for rate today to $S.66 to the pound sterling while pleasing to financial cir cles here, caused some speculation as to the reasons for the improvement. The belief was expressed in exchange quarters that the advance was large ly sentimental.
 It was pointed out, however, that the demand for dollars from the north of England and other centers was less than normal today and this, coupled with cancellation of orders and a consequent release of cover against orders for goods, is believed to have caught the exchange market short and helped the present rise
