until the stock had gained almost
points further, completing forward

Inasmuch as this move has had
nothing to do with steel trade condi-
tons it was not surprising that ii

There was little short covering for

Small builders admit they are play

fact that orders are running below

southern lumber mills. Shortage of
farm labor and the necessity of re-
planting large acreages damaged by
storms and bad weather has made
the agricultural outlook less favor
