MARKET FOR STEEL
STILL VERY Strong
Copper Also Active During
Week-Tin, Lead and
Zinc Gain Strength.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The steel
market Is in a very strong position.
A conspicuously active demand for
plates and sheets Is noted from rail-
roads and auto manufacturers, as well
as for structural work of all kinds.
Production, although somewhat larg-
er, is still hampered by transportation
and labor conditions. and is not keep
ing pace with the demand. Buyers
of pig iron are showing less timidity
about placing orders ahead and the
market is acting with strong up
ward tendency.
Copper has shown continued activ-
ity. with sales reported at 16h and
pr oducers asking II cents toward the
end OF the week. The strength is
generally attributed to a continued
active demand for domestic consump-
ton and a strong supply situation.
Trade authorities here estimate that
production of refined copper, includ-
ing South American imports, is very
close to 1s5,000.00O pounds per month.
of which upward Of 125, ,000, 900 pounds
are available for home consumption.
Requirements are being rapidly
covered. and some believe there will
be offerings from second hands with
out any lull in demand, although such
stocks are presumably light.
Tin scored a further violent ad-
vance through covering of specula-
tive short accounts. prompted by ia
vorable monthly statistics and fears
of curtailed production in the Malay
states.
Lead ruled stronger owing to con-
tinued heavy consumption and un-
easiness as to future supplies in alb
sence of new sources of production.
Zinc continues strong, with good
inquiry for both 6DOlaStic and eSnnrt
account. owing to the bullish statis-
teal position.
Antimony strong with good de-
mand.

BERLIN, March 3.-The reichstag

for the f1otation of an internal gold
loan amounting to $50, ,000,0 900, by pass
ing a bill authorizing Finance Minis
ter Hertes to issue treasury bills for
that amount quoted in American dol
lars. Only the communists opposed
the measure.
reichstag struck out the phrase des-
ignating the purpose of the action as
the creation of a foreign currency
fund. While it's purpose thus is left
underlined. the fact that payments on
the loan can be made only in foreign
currencies of high value leads to the
general understanding that collection
of such money is contemplated. The
bill specifies that subscriptions need
not be paid in dollars, but may be
met in these other currencies as well.
