STEEL PRODUCTION

Buyers Holding Off In Anticipa-

NEW YORK. May 10.-Underlying
condition in steel have been very I'M
settled during the past week and fur.
Their drastic curtailments of production
have been made to conform with the
very slow demand, while stocks are not
believed to be burdensome, buyers are
evidently holding off in anticipation of
lower prices. In fact, concessions were
made in some directions during the
week and it is thought that more may
follow. Leading producers are said to
be anticipating a reduction in wages.
The demand for pig iron was still linn
tied to small quantities, but prices were
fairly steady as the output was small
Copper ruled quiet. Recent offerings
below 1885 cents for electrolytic de-
livered appear to have been absorbed,
but domestic demand has fallen off
since the buying of last week and there
has been no improvement in export
business owing to fluctuations in ex-
change and further reselling by Ger
man interests.
Lead was easy, following weakness,
but demand continued fair and some in
