MEAT EXPORTS FALL
.36 PER CENT. nv VALUE
Foreign Shipments OF 1921
1915, ,66O,21O Pounds.

The tremendous declines of Wholesale
meat prices in 1921 are shown clearly
in a statement of the Institute of Amer
lean Packers, which says that although
exports increased per cent. the value
of foreign shipments decreased 36 Rer
cent Exports of all kinds of meat and
meat products were 1.945.660,210 pounds,
worth 297.155,1S0. in 1921, in contrast
10 1.SS3,3S9.053 pounds, worth S462,-
100000, in 1920.
A feature OF the years export trade
was a large increase In the amount of
lard shipped to other countries, which
was S92.Ss3.645 pounds. about 270.00.-
900 pounds. or 40 per cent, more than
those of 1920. The value of the lard
exports decreased about s33, 100000. or
20 per cent. in 1921, but exceeded those
Of 1918 by about 317,o00,000 pounds.
Foreign shipments of hams and
shoulders in 1921 increased about "a
per cent, or 47.0OO. 900 pounds. but de-
creased more than per cent. or $3.000.-
900 in value, compared with those Of
1920.
Bacon exports decreased in quantity
and value, and foreign shipments OF
fresh beef, 10.412.790 pounds. we're the
lightest since 1913, in which only about
100000 pounds were sent abroad.

BIG BUSINESS BOOM

Tells Advertisers to HaUe

The United States Is on the verge of a

Will Hays. just back from the Pacific
coast, where he has been in connection
with his new movie job.
Mr.. Hays addressed luncheon of the
American Association of Advertising
Agencies yesterday at the Hotel Penn

ready for the business boom now, and
to include in the preparation "a little
less Of Thou shalt not and little

clared that he had no monopoly on the
expectation that a great business re-

talked recently and who had a closeup

STEEL MILLS IGNORE
COAL STRIKE ORDER
Plans Go Forword for En-.
iarged Output.

The definite order for a coal strike
on April l has made little impression
on the steel market and manufacturers
are going ahead with their plans as
though no interruption of fuel produc-
ton was threatened. Reserves of BIZ
luminous coal, according to the Iron
Age, are 60.000.000 tons, equal to eight
weeks requirements of consumers in the
steel and allied industries, and the out
put of non-union mines has reached so
per cent. of current consumption.
The steel trade continued to improve
last week and the price situation has
become stronger. The percentage OF
active mill capacity for the entire in
dustry is close to 60 per cent, and
present production of ingots in the
Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Wheeling
districts Is put at so to 65 per cent.
The Carnegie Steel Company. which has
reached So per cent. of capacity, is pre-
pairing to add six blast furnaces to its
active list IN the next ten days. while
its Farrell. Pa. steel plant has been
reopened after a shutdown of more than
a year.
March promises to be the largest
month in twenty months in structural
steel production, the Iron Age says.
The pig iron market is displaying a firm
price tone due In part to the thought
that a coal mine strike might interfere
with coke production.
The Iron Trade Repieto says:
Momentum is being steadily ac-
quired by both production and volume
of buying of iron and steel. New ton
mage shows no signs Of slackening and,
on the contrary. is coming out from an
increasing variety of sources. The
weekly composite of fourteen iron
and steel products continues to reflect
practically steady pSice position. This
weeks average is $32.s0. against s32S7
a week ago; s32.S6 two weeks ago and
s33s4 in the first week of the year.
"The best week in a long time is re-
ported in structural steel awards. These
totalled approximately 10000 tons with
about $1,000 tons OF new work up Tor
figures. This does not include $4,000
tons for a bridge for the New YORK
Central Railroad. which is reported to
have been closed with an Independent
shop. Total structural awards in the
country for February were 7S.7Oo tons,
or 4slb per cent. OF shop capacity"

FREIGHT CAR LOADINGS
CONTINUE TC CLIMB
All Commodities Except Grain
and Grain Products Rise.

Cars loaded with revenue freight in
the week ended on March totaled S29.-
12s, an increase OF 25.S73 over the pre-
ceding week. according TO the car serv-
ice division OF the American Railway
Association. This was the largest num-
ber since November ). 1921. being only
594 cars under that week. The March
II total was 12S,GsS cars above that OF
the same week of 1921 and 9,799 cars
more than for the corresponding week
of 1920.
Increases over the preceding week
were reported in all commodities except
grain and grain products. Miscelane-
Gus freight. including manufactured
products, aggregated 4S4,713 cars, or
16.5fS more than the previous week.
In anticipation of the coal miners
strike coal loadings increased 1929 cars
to 204.56s, or 6s,649 cars above the
corresponding week a year ago.
