speculation is a natural aftermath
of periods of pronounced activity. In
most quarters it is considered that
the reactions of the past week or so
have been relatively moderate.
Monetary conditions remain little
changed. The general feeling is that
n gradual and moderate tightening in
money during April is likely. 1t is
pointed out that goods have been and
are being produced in great volume
and that as these goods pass into the
hands of middlemen and retailers the
demand for credit will increase. Bond
prices meanwhile are somewhat
heavy, partly because of the feeling
that money will work higher. partly
because of the growing demand for
funds for commercial purposes and
partly because the bonds market is

ing. Retail trade also is reported to
be excellent.
In the steel industry the advance
| in prices has now arrived at a stage
which promises to develop resist
'ance on the part of consumers. The
effect is not marked one and strong
demand for early bookings is still
| apparent. Nevertheless it is stated
, in the trade that a few building pro-
jects have been laid aside because
! OF present prices and that high cost
OF materials may curb the buying of
railroad cars.
Production of steel is in excess of
30 per cent. of War-inf1ated capacity
and is believed to be about equal to
current consumption. The keen de-
mand is thought to come from a de-
sire to enlarge stocks and to ensure
future supplies. Taking the broader
view. trade is now attempting to
foresee the situation which is likely
to exist during the latter part of the
year. Opinion on the point shows
considerable diversity.
Cotton furnished number of in
teresting sidelights on the situation,
For one thing, publication of the
census bureaus report on consump-
ton by American mills during Feb
ruary showed that the high daily
rate of January had been exceeded

It may mean q lot to you, because
the more cars you drive the better

That's because your own car is
