COAL STRIKE SENDS UP
PRICES OF PIG IRON
Composite Price of Finished
Steel Goes Higher.

Directly affected by higher coke
prices, basic pig iron rose So and Bes>
semer SO ton In the Pittsburgh district
this week, according to the Iron Age.
The United States Steel Corporation has
not advanced its contract prices. but
some of the later bookings have been
made without any definite promise OF
delivery The publication continues:
Generally the rate OF new buying Is
less than In late March and early April.
but that Is because most buyers are COW
cred for several weeks ahead and most
producers are heavily booked. The steel
corporations operating rate held up in
the last week, likewise that of the prin-
c1pal independents. Several smaller
producers have had more difficulty. The
problem Of increased costs. where coal
is drawn from distant districts or where
coke is bought at Sc for the little avail
able. is troubling some steel companies
and Is reflected in the stiffening Of
prices on ihe heavier steel products for
early delivery.
"Sheet rolling mills are not getting
full output in view Of a scarcity in
sheet bars. However. the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Company is sched-
uled for nearly so per cent operation
this week.
IAN advance in steel bars raised the
IRON Age composite price Of finished
steel to 2.09s cents a pound, the highest
since the same figure was reached De-
cember 20, 1921, in the recession of
prices from the peak in 1920. Pig iron
is the highest at $23.36 in more than a
year, having had the same average on
April rs, 1921"
The IRON Trade II rieto says:
Meeting the gro, ing demands for
steel is becoming increasingly difficult
for mills Consumers stocks are low
and increases In production are checked
by the fuel situation. In some lines.
notably steel bars, some mills are re-
sorting to the allotment of tonnage in a
manner similar to the war period. Va
rious products find themselves obliged
to refuse tonnage"
The Iron Trade Reviews weekly
composite price of fourteen iron and
steel products this week was $3.50.
compared with s36.0S last week, $35.44
two weeks ago and $3.50 the low point
in the week Of March 22."

AMERICANS SMALL
BUYERS In GERMANY
Large Firms Awaiting New
Tariff Before Placing
Fall Orders.

Berlin, May 10.
"A wide variety of small buying by
Americans Is going on in Germany. but
the large buyers are awaiting the new
tariff decisions before placing large fall
orders in Germany. German factories
have orders as far ahead as September
and October bat. despite this, some of
them are reducing their output.
The principal reason for this is that
money is becoming scarce. German
banks are lending with Increasing re-
luctance owing to the unsettled political
and financial outlook This pinches
particularly the small firms in financing
their purchases OF raw materials from
foreign countries
The coal shortage has obliged some
metal firms to close down part of their
works. Manufacturers of highly special
ized grades Of steel are importing Eng
lish coal again. Because the German
works cannot meet the existing demand
for wares there is tendency on the part
of some German machine makers to
follow the example OF the shipbuilGers
and buy English and American steel.
The NEnglish already are delivering ship
plates.
The agent of large American steel
corporation says he has been offering the
Germans steel plating and some other
grades of steel at figures lower than the
German or English prices. He can COM
pete. he says. even with the mark at 800
to the dollar.
There is a big demand here for cheap
motor cars and motorcycles. The Evans
motorcycle. which is light and cheap. is
particularly popular.
Last year American department stores
tried to buy their wares here through a
common agent, but owing to competition
and the lack of the necessary organi-
zation many are again doing business
through their own buyers. Some Ger
man firms formed selling combines and
sent wide assortment of samples to
America. but this method did not worl;
owing to the difficulties in quoting fixed
prices and the time lost In negotiations
The most satisfactory scheme apart
from the large houses who have their
permanent resident buyers here. has
been to send buyers for a short time
who study the situation and place pre-
liminary orders, leaving the settlement
OF details and the complicated export
regulations to local agents.
The kimball Glassware Company has
buyers here for glass towel bars. There
also is a large demand for glass bottles.
The New Jersey Automotive Company
is buying speedometers. Although there
IS wide immediate American demand
for wireless telephone appliances. Ger
man firms are not making these on q
largo scale of production. They pro-
pose to specialize on small parts. as they
doubt whether they can compete with
Americans in large scale production.

A point on which dress manufac-

The former see I'm that innovation a

Bathing suit business Is again trend

has brought good recorder business for

jobbers are greatly encouraged by the
more liberal buying policy shown. The
advance business done when summer

been sustained. due 1t Is believed to
unreasonable weather which has made
the retail trade fearful of being caught

Attention centered on crepes.

With the opening of fall broadsilk lines.
the trades attention is being centered
on crepe silks. particularly cantons, and
little interest Is manifested In satins.
The firm raw silk market undoubtedly
has helped to stimulate interest in the
fall outlook and. from present indica-
stions. would warrant predictions OF good
volume business being placed. Dress
silks are prominent in the new fall
offerings. lining silks running poor
second. The ultimate governing factor
in the situation. however, Is the ques-
tion Of price. and if mills are able to
keep the range within the 81 level. there
is little doubt of fall business meeting
expectations.

No Change in Dye situation.

Domestic business in dyes and inter-

zeal Markets will say to-day. A revival

Buying in the essential oil trade Is
broadening out. Improved buying of
medicinal chemicals is in strong con-
trast to the lack OF interest shown In
them in April. Prices abroad arc gem
orally flrnner. Export demand for ami
