interest at present, but 1t would seem from the moderate increases in brokers loans that the general public has not yet actively entered the market.
 The more pessimistic feel that thu present market Is largely controlled however, is largely true of the higher priced issues which the public buyi less of than the lowered priced shares
 Another reason, generally accepted al an explanation for considerable DOT ton of the heavy trading, is the low rates of money. Capital has been di verted to dividend paying stocks. Thii has been true of good railroad stocks particularly. It is said that the accu mutation of rails for investment and appreciation has been sufficiently heavy to leave only a small floating supply and that owners are not easily frightened into selling.

1RoN rnAnE REVIEW

CLEVELAND O., Aug. N.-Iron Trade Review today says:
 Improvement in the demand for steel Is perceptible, but the rate of recovery Is below expectations. Uncertainty as to prices is retarding the buying of finished steel; and, while a few large users are beginning to purchase for stock, the majority of consumers are not yet convinced that the low point in prices has been touched.
 The encouraging factors are that the railroads, especially those serving the northwest and which have suffered from a depression of several years standing, are expected to come into the market for cars and track material as a result of advances in grain and live stock quotations. Weight is given to this expectation by reports that rail- road rolling stock is not in a state of repair that will enable the carriers to handle the increased traffic of the winter months efficiently.
 Mill operations continue to hold up well. Ingot production in the Chicago district slipped back a point, but In dependent and Steel corporation steel works are operating at GA per cent of capacity.
 While little Is heard in market circles of the effect Uf The complicated politi- cal situation on iron and steel busi- neSSl IL IS kuOWn LudL the QeC1SlOnS on number of important projects have been held up pending a more definite size-up of the outcome of the election.
 No marked change in finished steel prices has taken place during the week, although instability is noted on certain products. The prospect of heavier de- mand in the Chicago district is en- couraging. The Illinois Central is re- ported as being ready to inquire for 6,400 cars of mixed classification and the Chesapeake and Ohio authorized the purchase of 10000 tons of rails and 2,000 steel hopper cars.
 Structural awards in July totaled 1884, 900 tons, or about 70 per cent of capac- ity, gain of 10,300 tons over the June total.
 Iron Trade Review composite again shows a slight gain, the figure being S39.37, as compared with $39.31 last week and $39.29 August 6.
 British exports of iron and steel in July were 347,799 tons, an increase from 324,4 tons in June.
 Sharp reductions in English and do- nestle ferrOmanganese have failed to stimulate much business. Domestic material has been quoted as low as S92,60, tidewater, to eastern consumers, while in Plttsburg the price structure Is reported as so uncertain that 1t Is difficult to make a quotation representa- tive of the market English sellers have reduced their quotations from $100 to $95, tidewater. epiegeleisen also is be- ing shaded, the domestic material now holding at about S33.
