NEW YORK, Nov, e.-Another decrease
will be recorded in the untitled orders of
the Unitde States Steel Corporation as of
Oct 81 last. to be s2ade pubic Saturday,
but the falling off IL likely to be decidedly
less than it foe September. when a
drop of 37G, 9l3 tons was shown. Esti-
mates in reliable quarters are that the
decrease for October will be between 275.
600 and 325. 900 tons. the amount depend
ing entirely upon cancellations. without
any Withdrawals of orders by consumers
it is almost certain that the reduction would
be near the lower figure mentioned. A de-
crease of say, 275, coo tons would bring
the total on the books of the steel corpora
ton down to about 4,750.000 tons. and
would show a reduction from the high mark
of 7.403. 1872 tons made March 81 last
of approximately 1858 900 tons. or an av-
erage OF 379, 900 tons per month for the
seven months since the end of March Incl
dentally the total on Oct 81 last would
be the smallest reporA, by the corporation
since April If last yeAg when it was $685.

GROWN IN STATE
REGARDED POOR
Production for Year, How
ever Exceeds 1922 Yield
by 100000 Bushels,

The quality of Indiana's corn crop

ton for the year is 100000 bushels
greater than in 1922. while only rs
per cent is of merchandise quality
George c. Bryant declared today in
his report to the United States De
partment of Agriculture. The stats
tician's report also shows that large
increases in yield are to De made by
both potatoes and tobacco.
The report states that heavy frost

anything. Insect damage has been
slight.

per acre having been reduced to lis
bushels. indicating production of
$4,000 bushels, compared with S75, 900
bushels last year.
The average yield Of tobacco is 900
pounds to the acre; indicating total
yield Of 19,8O0,000 pounds, compared
with 100000 pounds last year. The
quality, however, is only "a per cent,
due to cool weather.
The apple production of the state
touched IS per cent Of normal. or
5,035, 900 bushels, compared with d..
14S, 900 bushels last year. The com
mercial crop is placed at 252, 900 bar
rels.
The yield of cloverseed per acre was
0.9 bushels on IS per cent as much
acreage as was harvested last year
Total production, $4,000 bushels.
Grain sorghum made an average
yield Of % bushels per acre where
grown for grain and 5.5 tons of for
age where grown for that purpose
only.
Total grape production was SIS per
cent of normal with the quality s.
per cent of a high medium grade.

CARPET

TT1 HE building boom of 1922 and
the early part of 1928 has kept
- carpet mills busy. Families
moving into new houses and apart
ments, which are now being finished
in large numbers, like to buy new
equipment for their homes. This has
helped the carpet maker.
Wool Is the principal material
which goes into carpets. The United
States Government has figures show
ing that materials account for fifty
four cents out of each dollar the car
pet manufacturer receives. Therefore
the ups and downs in the wool mar
ket will affect carpet prices. Labor
gets 20 cents out of each dollar that
comes TO the manufacturer and 26
cents is the share of profit and over
head, including taxes.
A 10 per cent increase in materials
would add ga cents to each dollar the
manufacturer would have to ask for
his product. A 10 per cent wage in
crease would add 2 cents.

December leading in strength.
Sentiment in wheat remains beartsh and
