the September figures TO show an in
crease. The comparison with the 4S4,-

year was a little more favorable than
the contrast with last months figures.
Generally bearlsh features In the statis-
tical position are regarded as merely

the new crop has come to market.
In a broader way traders>sre compar-
ing the crop prospect OF 10,1S5,000 bales

present advance is that the South Is

Drop in Consumption Figures

for Advance.

The cotton market showed continued
strength and activity yesterday. A nat
ural disposition TO take profits for over
the week end probably was increased
by a disappointing report on domestic
mill consumption for September. Such
offerings and further Southern hedge
selling were absorbed on very modest
setbacks during the early trading, how
ever, and prices reached the highest
levels late in the morning when Decem-
Der sold at 22.55, or % points net higher
and 233 points above the low price

month. That delivery closed at 22.51.
with the general market closing firm at
net advance OF II to 2S points.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of 8 to 16 points and met rather
heavy offerings during the early trading
There may have been some selling for a
reaction as well as Southern hedging
and profit taking, but the action OF the
market revealed the presence OF a broad
tuying power and after selling off a
few points prices quickly turned flrmer.
Active months sold % to 2S points above

morning and the close was within or

lull in the volume of buying.

Improvement I'm sheets.

Shipment of sheets from many mills
In this district are expected TO show
measurable improvement by the end OF
this week or the middle of next by rea-
son of the lifting of the embargo on the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. This will in
clude several of the leading interests
plants. 1t is expected that pig iron from
the furnaces that the Carnegie Steel
Company is starting at Farrell, Pa. and
from the one the Minnesota Steel Com
pany has started at Duluth will be con-
verted into steel and made available for
the plants OF the. American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company in those territories.
For some time sheets for railroad
cars. locomotives and repairs have been
on the preferred list. Some mills have
been pilng sheets in a minor way here.
but accumulations probably will be
cleared before the beginning OF next
week Current demands for all grades
OF sheets continues heavy. and mills are
well committed to the end of the year.
The United States Steel Corporation,
because of interference in operations
lately. will have to carry over into jan
nary or February much of this quarters
business Several attempts have been
made by it's customers to gain places on
its books for the first quarter of 1928.
ANY such orders taken are subject to
nrices to be named later. All makers re-
mort heavy demand for black sheets and
sustained demand for galvanized sheets,
while those producing full finished auto
mobile sheets scy no letup in buying is
expected.
While the prices OF the leading inter-
est are 2.50c. for blue annealed. 3.35c.
for black, 4.35c. for galvanized. and
4.7Oc. for automobile sheets, the inde-
pendent makers are obtaining maximum
figures OF 2.S5c., 3.75c., 4.75c. and &c.
respectively. Sheet mill operations In
general are around SIS per cent, the in
dependents doing slightly better than the
leading interest.

Embargo Hampers Deliveries.

Producers of cold drawn steel bars
find the available supply of merchant
steel trifle better. although deliveries
will be greatly hampered by the railroad
embargo ordered between Altoona and
Chicago. There shipments are curbed
from the same cause in instances In
which mills are on the Pennsylvania
railroad. For the most part cold drawn
bar makers are not making fourth quar-
ter contracts. having nearly three
months business on their books. Tho
minimum market quotation Is 2.50c. with
ms high as 275c appearing, particularly
I'm less than carload lots.
Manufacturers of containers are find
ing themselves short OF tin plate material
and are placing additional orders. One
order for $4,000 base boxes was offered
In this territory several days ago by a
can maker, but because only December
deliveries could be promised. the order is
understood to have been placed in the
Wheeling district for November ship
ment.
Offers by consumers to place orders
for delivery during the first quarter
OF next year. are being turned down by
ono involving 275,000 base boxes. A
few such orders have been written on
tho books subject to a price 70 be an
nounced later. The market continues
uuotable at S4.15 n base box of 100
pounds, but since tin plate is practically
the only steel product that has not ad-
vanced, producers as well as buyers ex-
pcct an carly advance OF So TO $40 a
ton. Tho American Sheet and Tin
Plate Company is operating so per cent
Of its hot mills, with the remainder in
favor OF sheet units. and the average
among independents generally is slightly
above rs per cent.
