In the face OF the coal strike. this

were puzzled ct the report which came
from an official OF the Northwestern rail-
road. There also was report that
100000 bushels wheat had been bought

Pause In Expansion.

A pause this week In the expansion
of steel production which had gone on
continuously since the end Of January.
IL indicated by the midwest steel trade
reviews. This Is, however. evidently .
result OF cautious conserving Of fuel sup
plies pending the coal strike. for trade
demands are reported as extremely strong.
railway orders for instance having
amounted during tho four completed
months OF 1922. to two and half times
the total for the whole Of 1921. The
voluntary return to work by striking nom
union miners, on which the trade had
based some expectation. does not seem
yet to have occurred.
Figures of the country's iron output
in April, which were published today, al
so show some slackening In the pace Of
increase. Whereas average daily produc-
tion In March had been greater by 7.461
tons than in February. the April average
rose only 3.4s5 over March. Nevertheless
the fact Of notable and continuous in
crease remains. with all that such ex-
pansion usually implies in the way of
foreshadowing recovery In general trade.
That the rate Of daily output at the be-
ginning Of the present month should be
not only 81 per cent above last jan
uery's average but 1s0 per cent above the
low record daily average Of July, 1921.
sufficiently measures the change IN the
situation.
