Of sharp opposition to the Far Eastern

Good Book Orders,
COMMODITY PRICES.

Generally quiet conditions ruled
in the principal wholesale markets
last week, but prices continued to
show an upward tendency, with Is

sions. In similar comparison for

compared with 81 declines; while
for the corresponding week a year

downward direction.
Although early trading was fairly
active. lack of support and heavy
selling, due to financial incidents at
Chicago, had a depressing effect on
wheat. and quotations declined
sharply. Other grains felt the
weakness of wheat, and sustained
more or less setback. Live meats
fuctuated within a somewhat mar
row range. quotations generally re-
fecting the movements of grain
with hogs displaying the greatest
recession, owing to the absence of
an active cash demand. Provisions,
however. were fairly steady, al
though the undertone, for the
greater part of the time, was EASY.
The previous weeks late depression
continued in butter, due to de.
creased demand from consumers
and liberal offerings of storage
stock. Cheese was quiet, but
steady. Eggs, however. were weak,

prices. and reports that heavy pro-

BANK CLEARINGS.

The margin of decrease in bank
clearings narrowed somewhat last
week. an aggregate of sS527,132,000
at twenty cities in the United
States for five days representing a
reduction of 1S.9 per cent from the
figures reported to Dun's Review
for similar period of 1921. The
comparison with 1920 is distorted
by the fact that the corresponding
week in that year included returns
for six business days. Despite the
falling off from last years total.
increases appeared last week at
several cities, there being a gain
of $50 per cent at Baltimore. Els
per cent at Los Angeles, 80 per
cent at Dallas and Is per cent at
Seattle. For cities outside of New
York which are embraced by the
record, there is a net loss from last
years clearings of 100 per cent,
while a decrease of ia per cent
appears at New York City. For
January to date. average daily bank
clearings are 1873 per cent below
those of 1921 and 2l.3 per cent less
than those of two years ago.

PITTSBURGH. Jan. S.-What
may be described as the general
tone in prices Of finished steel prod
ucts is decidedly better than at any
time since January, 1921. On the
average. prices are lower than at
any previous >time since the begin
ming of 1916. but they are only
slightly lower than two months
ago.
The steadiness lies in the fact
that concessions from regularly
quoted prices are much smaller
than formerly. when orders of par
ticular Importance are being COM
peted for. Last August. when
openly quoted prices. which ruled
OF small orders. were considerably
higher. there did not seem to, be

mill might not so to secure I par

ton higher than those now quoted,
yet it is probable that a large
order. say. for 10000 tons. with at
tractive specifications. would have
gone at a lower price than can be
quoted today.
Better knowledge of Costs.
Last summer mills were reducing
their costs rapidly and were uncer-
tain as to what the actual cost
would be when an order was being
sought, hut they were disposed to
take chances. Today the facts as
to actual costs are much better
known, and these facts are being
used as the guide when orders arc
solicited.
Steel prices are now quotablc as
follows: Bars. shapes and plates.
$50 cents; standard steel pipe. II
per cent, basing discount: plain
wire, 225 cents: wire nails, $3.50:
hoops. bands and hot rolled strip. :
cents; black sheets. . cents; gal
vanized sheets, cents; tin plate.
$4.75. Some of these prices are
held without absolute rigidity,
while on others the largest orders
going would draw concessions of
no more than about 81 a ton.
Good Book Orders.
The Industry has entered Jsnu-
airy with a larger order book than

NO IMPROVEMENT
in ARGENTINA'S
SITUATION SEEN
Agricultural Industry's
Condition Has Become
Alarming.
EXPORTS DECREASE
National Bank Considering s.
Year Extension Of Credit on
Products and Livestock.

According to a cable to the De-
partment of Commerce from Com
mercial Attache Feely, at Buenos
Aires, there is little to indicate
that the situation in Argentina has
experienced any general improve
ment during the past month. Al
though little foreign investment
capital is coming in. which is di-
rected largely toward petroleum
development, and although there
has been a decline in the cost OF
living. nevertheless, the situation
with regard to Argentina's asricul-
tural industries has become alarm
ing. Exports are decreasing and
the Banco de la Nacion is consider
ing a fve-year extension of credit
at 5 per cent on livestock and agri-
cultural products. The proceeds of
the loan OF $50. 900. 900 recently OBJ
tanned from New York bankefs
have been, it is reported. entirely
disposed of, and as a large amount
is to be RENTED, exchange on New
York will probably be affected. The
city of Buenos Aires is reported to
be negotiating for a loan of $40
100000. Work has commenced on
.
There has been considerable decline
in the amount of unclaimed Amer
lean merchandise held in the
Buenos Aires customhouse which is
now valued at $4,000, 900.
FInances-Banking.
The Banco de la Nacion has de-
creased rates effective January I.
1922. and is considering the above
mentioned extension of credit to
the livestock and agricultural pro-
ducers. Bank rates are steady, but,
loans are decreasing and both
checking and savings deposits in
banks are declining also. CONNER
cial paper is being quoted at 6.5
per cent. and advance current ac-
counts at per cent discount. Col
lcctions for December amounted to
10 100000 paper pesos q paper peso
equals s0.4245 U. S. currency.
The municipality of the city OF
Buenos Aires Is reported to he in
the market for a loan of $4,000
900. but, on the other hand. there
is little foreign investment capital
coming in, other than some which
is directed toward the exploitation
of the petroleum resources of the
country.
ExchanEe-Credits.
The average exchange on New
York during the month of Deem
Der was 1873 as against 1.3J the
month previous. Rates are steady.
however, due to the disposal of the
proceeds Of the recent $4,000. 900
loan and the fact that there are a
large among of funds to be remit
ted, a rise is expected shortly.
Collections for December amount
ed to 10000. 900 paper pesos q paper
peso equals s0.4245 u. S. currency
and credits are becoming more diff
fcult to negotiate. Minor failures
Are occurring and there are many
private arrangements with cred
itors.
Exports and Imports.
Imports are remaining stationary.
and import stocks are generally
lower than at this time last year
when they were abnormally large.
The unclaimed American goods in
the customhouse at Buenos Aires
is now valued at $4,000, 900. indicat-
ing that the drop in exchange, con
sequent to the recent loan, aided
materially in the absorption of a
