new BUYING IN STEEL
LIMITED IN VOLUME
Report for Week Also Shows Pro.
duction Curtailed-Other Metals
in Review.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 26-New buying in
the steel market this week was limited,
and production by the mills further cur
tailed. Buyers and sellers were apart
over the question Of values, and it was
thought probable that new buying will
continue small until a more permanent
price basis has been fixed. Demand for
pig iron was also slow, with the under
tone easy, although reduced production
has brought the output nearer to current
requirements.
Copper was quiet and easier. While
no general selling pressure was reported.
there have been declines In London, and
prices here were shaded both by second
handS and producers without any ap-
parent stimulation of demand. Buyers
Tor domestic consumption appear to have
covered their more immediate needs, and
are anticipating lull in export demand,
Following the heavy shipments of the
last two months. 1t is believed that
there has been an accumulation of
stocks abroad in anticipation of the in
crease In ocean freight rates scheduled
for May /.
Tin was easier. without making full
response TO the London break as con-
sumers show more interest, with sellers
ohering spaHngly because Of an antici-
pated decrease in the visible supply.
Lead was cut $5 a ton by the leading
producer, but, nevertheless, except for
large cable requirements, a slackening
trend Is noted in consuming quarters
IN Zinc 1reer offerings caused an easy
tone, and there was some talk of cur
taiiment because of the poor demand.
Antimony was easier, following in
crease pressure from China

PRICES STILL DECLINE.
Dun's Review Notes Condition,
Past Eight Weeks.

For the eighth consecutive week more
oeclincs than advances have occurred in
Dun's lis: OF wholesale quotations. Total
changes this week oUtnumbered those of
last week, with more than twice as many
reductions as increases. Cotton and cot
TON goods, wool and hides, pig iron and
steer ana lumber are among the COM
modities that have eased further in
price. and in most cases the markets are
lower now than they were a year ago.
Inc conspicuous exception is cotton, but
that is one Of the few leading farm
products whose price is above the 1928
ieFel. Inc current quotation for wheat
is lower by about 25 cents a bushel de-
spite recent recovery, and corn is sew
eral cents cheaper than it was at this
time last wear. In view of the course
OF prices thus far in April another de-

BUTTER PRICES REACT.
Markets for Week Show Increase

CHICAGO, April 26.-Reaction from
the decline led to steadier feeling
and advanced prices in the butter
market for the week ending April
"a, all markets showing advances of
from to 21a cents, according to the
review of the United States bureau

day.
In the, -four big markets 92-score
butter closed April "a at 3S cents at
Chicago. 3S12 at New York. 39I5 at
Boston and SO at Philadelphia.
At the low levels of the previous
week butter stocks were depleted,
operators refused to reduce prices
further and, apparently under the
belief that the bottom had been
cached. buying interest developed
Speculative activity was resumed
also and, with shortage of CEN
tralized car lots and buying of for
eign butter checked by low levels of

the moment near the. close, with re-
ports indicating slight increase in

Review States.

With the continued activity in building

trade in plumbing supplies is holding up
well. and the outlook for 1924 is general
~ considered favorable. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that 1928 was an excep-
tonaiiy good year. special reports re-
ceiVed by Dun's Review show that, in
many localities. sales for the first quar-
ter OF the year have been considera bly
IN excess of last years records for the
same period. This condition does not
seem TO be general. however Supplies
are considerably easier than they were
rev months ago. and deliveries from
manufacturers are quite prompt Job
pers stocks are generally ample for
current requirements. and no shortage
OF materials of any kind is expected to
develop during the summer. There is no
evidence OF any accumulation, however
The average level of prices is about
the same as that of year ago, slight
advances in some lines having been off
SET by declines in others. Earthenware
ana enamelware are holding firm. and
prices IN most other lines are steady.
