VERY LITTLE STEEL
BOUGHT FOR JAPAN
Weekly Metal Review Re-
veals Expected Buying Wave

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 22.-The
steel market was quiet and irregular
during the week except for fair in
ouiry. for rail and automobile equip
ment, and some price concessions
were noted. The demand from japan
for reconstruction purposes did not
materialize as expected. The west re-
ported little business, with the lead
ing Independent working at about so
per cent of capacity, although most
of the producers were comfortably
booked on old business up to the end
of the year. Pig iron was easy, with
declines noted in the south. Although
production was curtailed, demand con-
tinued small.
Copper was easier early when de-
mand was light, but improved in tone
port inquiry. Some of the domestic
meters were believed in need of ad-
ditionaI supplies to meet October re-
Quirements, but most OF the largest
consumers were understood TO De Gov
cred for the next thirty to sixty days
and hoping for concessions.
Tin ruled steady but quiet. The
statistical position was firm, and
there were no signs OF increased Pro-
duction, but consumers did not an
ticipate requirements:
Lead was unchanged here and easier
at the west While buying was still
limited, the outlook for fall business
was considered promising.
Zinc showed little activity, but held
steady on indications of a better ex-
port inquiry in the near future.
Anthony was dull. At the same
time holders showed no disposition TO
shade prices owing to the firm atti-
tude of Chinese holders.

CURB STOCKS IMPROVE.
Violent Breaks on Oil News Appear
to Have Been Checked

NEW YORK, September 22.-Muoh
of the trading during the. past week
was governed by fhe unsettled con-
ditions prevailing in the petroleum
Industry but the action of the oil
stocks, especially the Standard Oil
group. furnished evidence that a line
of resistance had been reached by
the declines that had already oc-
Cured, and further reductions sin, the
prices. of crude oil in Pennsylvania.
Ohio, and other fields, were without
further influence in causing either
liquidation or short selling,
The absence of demand in many
issues however. was a factor in caus-
ing declines in some stocks, including
International Petroleum, to new low
levels for the year, but in most cases
offerings were quickly absorbed at
moderate recessions, and the end of
the week found conditions of an
oversold character and a steadily
growing demand. This was most, pro-
nounCed in Fridays late trading,
when advances ranging from One to
more than six points occurred in
many of the Standard Oil shares.
Industrial issues. after first being
held in check, because of devotion OF
interest to the oil group, became
heavy. The motor stocks were espe-
eiafly weak in the past few days.
Stutz Motor sold at the new low of
105k, and Du Popt of Indiana dropped
TO new low record. Gileste Sarety
Razor yielded from 262 to z5Sk.

RESCuES THREE FROM
OVERTURNED BOAT

It is understood by reports from re-
liable sources that Jim Mclaughlin,
tho we'll known guide on Lake Cobbos-
seecontee. performed in the role Of
rescuer to three lads whose sailboat
had capsized in the middle of the lake
Tuesday afternoon. The full details
and the names Of the young men could
not be ascertained. but 1t was learned
that as Mr.. Mclaughlin approached the
lighthouse with a party from Grams
point, on the east shore. the captized
boat was sighted just off the rock reef
on which Is the lighthouse.
Jim FASTENED at once toward the spot
and on nearer approach three young
| men were seen clinging to the wet and
slippery bottom of the overturned boat.
Captain Russell Pernette in the Alcedo
II also sighted the derelict and headed
that way full speed. Jim reached them
first. however. and the boys were
pulled into his boat to safety. Their
boat was an ordinary rowboat on which
had been rugged makeshift sail which,
being somewhat clumsy to manipulate,
had spelled their disaster when struck
by a fitful sQuall Of wind. The boys
are thankful to Guide Jim McLaugh-
lin for his timely arrival on the scene
of. the mishap.
