Larger Projects Are Now Looming Up in
 Steel and Iron

Cleveland, Ohio, January 1s.-(Spe- ;ss.54 last week, ss3.s4 two weeks says:
 Appearance in the market of larger projects, measured by tonnage points, to more general satisfaction of buy CTS, with liquidation of steel prices and foreshadows, increased the vol ume of construction work with the approach of the open season. Some of these underta kings now coming up for bids are renewals of plans origi- nally offered a year or more ago, but then set aside because condi- tions were regarded as unfavorable.
 Few are of speculative character, suggesting return of confidence. While not marked, new tonnage in steel actually placed continues to ex- pand and production is little heavier all around.
 Structural lettings for December show a total of 71,500 tons, or 40 per cent of shops capacity. Awards for all 1921 aggregated 75s,so0 tons, or 35 per cent of fabricating capacity. Since January 1, the market has been expanding somewhat. At Chicago, the concourse for the Union station requiring 15,0o0 to 20,o0o tons Is up l for bids. Construction bids have been | asked on an 1S.000-ton bank building | at Cleveland, for which steel was let | year ago.
 Another ore freighter requiring | 1000 tons of steel is before lake yards. United States Steel Products com | ~f cfo | for freighter awarded recently to a Port Arthur, Ont, yard. Inquiry Is l current from the Atlantic coast yard for s,200 tons to cover new vessel Growing agitation is apparent among manufacturing consumers of | steel to obtain relief from localzin.s i influence of high freight rates as we'll as to preserve their market position | against competitors who are being served by nearby mills at local and not at Pittsburg base prices. Absorb ing of freight continues the practice of various mills, with result that prices more and more are being de- | termined by location of producers.
 Small degree of change in present prices is reflected by the Iron Trade Reviews market composite this week, which is s33.s6 compared with $3354 last week, sS3.64 tow weeks ago. and s33.75 three weeks ago.
 Various large foundries are ask ing prices on heavy blocks of pig
 iron upon which to base bid for 115,0 900 tons of segment castings for the Hudson river vehicular tunnel.
 The iron market remains sluggish though shipments tend to increase Prices show softness.

 | Almost Twenty Points i to Upward Climb
Ny Aa.ncInted Prnnn

New York, January 19-For the first time in a week the stock market today indicated an excess of offer linEs over demand, the list recording irregular or uneven changes through out the active session.
 Lacking more definite reasons the markets reversal was popularly at tributed to the firmer tone of money. ECall loans opened at 4h per cent. ris- ing to per cent at midday with 6 per cent rate in the final half hour.
 The only stocks to hold or enhance recent gains wore specialties domi- mated by professionals and other ishares in which tho floating supply lis believed to be so small as to make them readily available for speculative purposes. These groups again em- braced the independent steels, minor V Vequipments, utilities and sugars, where further extreme advances of 2 to points were made.
 Gulf States Steel was in a class by Itself, adding almost 20 points to it's steady upward movement and closing at s2. a not gain of 165s points. This represents an advance of 31 points ,thus far this week.
 The reactionary side of the market was featured by motors, oils. tobac- cos and various miscellaneous issues, including textiles and the major equipments at declines of to points, Rails again were listless, investment or dividend paying issues being only occasionally quoted and then mainly lat concessions.
 Dealings in foreign exchanges. in- cluding British and French bills, were light and without notable changes aside from the easier tone of sterling marks and Euilders. Tho Bank of Tngland's weekly report disclosed further strengthening of that insti- tution's liability reserves
 Bonds were moderately unsettled by the tighter money market, Liberty issues with one exception closing at declines. Most foreign Issues were steady. but rails showed hesitancy aside from the new Southern Rail- ways 616s. these rising sharply over their issue price. Total sales, par Malue, $l6,276,000
