IRON TRADE REVIEW

CLEVELAND, O., May 15.-(Special)- )- Iron Trade Review today says:
 . With the production down 25 to 30 per cent in a period of 30 days and still be- ing reduced, though more slowly, the readjustment of the iron and steel market continues under way As the situation becomes better balanced. senti- ment is improving. New business re- mains considerably below shipments but the very vigor by which the latter have been eating into untitled orders, evidenc- ing present consumption, supplies the best ground for the hope of the maintenance activity The reduction in the Steel Cor poration bookings in April is the largest by percentage in a single month in many years. However, this decline does not increase the extent to which shipments were made by the leading interest be- patch was taken and delivered within the month. Much of the present buying is of this character. In fact the total April were only slightly less than the record month of March.
 Excepting possibly the strike period in 1918, steel ingot production fell more preeipitstely in ApuI than in any period since monthly statistics have been avail able. From an annual rate in March of 55,OO0,0 900 tons. high record gait for-the industry, operations in April had shrunk to a rate of 40,500, 900 tons. On a daily basis. this decline represented 23.6 per cent.
 The curtailment Of operations has not yet run it's course. The Steel Corpora tion this week is producing slightly under 70 per cent of ingot capacity. z Independ- ents gre not over 60 per cent.
 Due to the change in general condi- tions, iron operators have revised their predictions of lake movement this year of 60O0QO0O 10 4j,oOO000 to 100000 tons.
 The matter Of general wage reductions has not been taken up seriously by iron md steel producers and unless trade con ditions become materially worse it is not believed this matter will be forced to the front. In the Connellsville coke regions. however. a number Of individual operaA

LIBERTY BONDS | REACH NEW HIGH Substantial Improvement Is Made By Other Sec
 tions Of List

NEW YORK, May 15.-Establish- ment of new high levels for the year by all active issues of United States government bonds today reflected em- ployment of Wall Streets excess funds, which later overflowed into other sec tions of the investment market. Sub stantial improvement in prices resulted, although a few week spots were scat tered throughout the industrial and public utility lists.
 Expectations that the bonus. bill would be vetoed and drop in the call money rate to per cent the lowest since the March plethora of funds, contributed to the heavy institutional buying of libery bonds. All issues sold at new 1924 top prices, with net gains ranging from 2-32nds to 30-32nds on frequent transactions of $100,000 or more. The "Mellons" sold at q new record high. scoring a net advance of 1S-32nds.
 The rapid run-up in the. prices of government obligations influenced buy CTS to turn to other sections of the market later in the day. Accumulation of French governmental and municipal issues began, several of the latter reg istered gains of one to two points in the late trading. Railroad mortgages were eagerly sought at rising prices and some of the popular industrials liens were in demand. Independent weakness, however, developed to Vir- ginia Carolina seyens and Ajax Rub Der Ss, both of which dipped to new low levels.
 Indications point to smaller volume of new financing for the week, ale though several important offerings have been scheduled tentatively for. next week. These include the Peruvian lean, a portion of which will be marketed abroad, and Nickel plate" railroad issue to exceed $25, 900, 900.

NEW MONTHS
 SCORE GAINS Firmness On Covering And Trade Buying Fea- ture Cotton Market

NEW YORK, May 15.-The feature in the cotton market today was the relative firmness of new crop months on covering and trade buying promoted by reports of continued cool weather in the south. October sold up to 25.6Jc {: or Il points net higher. and closed at 25.50c. The final tone of the market was strong at advances of g to e points.
 The opening vas steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 4 points. but the early market was rather unsettled owing to a little May liquidation caused by the circulation of notices estimated at 2.T00 bales. There were rumors of an easier spot basis n>the eastern belt and that some cotton was coming here from Norfolk for delivery, but the early offerings of May were ab- sorbed on decline to 3I.15c for that position. October sold down to 24.91c on the near month weakness. net de cline of 3 points. Offerings were light, however, and as soon as May steadied on<the stopping of the notices the general market firmed up on the general bullishness of crop advices.

WHEAT WEAKER
 ON CORN DROP Warmer Weather In Belt Drives Traders Away
 From Buying

CHICAGO, Max 15.-Liklihood of rapid progress hereafter in corn plant ing gave prices of corn a material set back today, and also weakened the wheat market. Both corn and wheat closed unsettled. corn 5s@ % to 1Xc net lower. July 75% @75h, with wheat unchanged to 15c down. July S1 .O6G .O61k to $1.O61s and Septem. Der $1.07 to $1.O7@1.O71s oats 1s to %@ 15c off, and provisions unchanged to a decline of two cents.
 Warmer weather prevailing through out the corn belt and giving aid to field work drove traders promptly away from the buying of the corn market and led to persistent pressure to sell. This pressure gradually increased, especially on the part of houses with eastern connections. Then with ship ping demand here slow, the market kept on the down-grade until May de- livery and July were about identical in value. Gossip that the northwest was selling corn to come here at one cent under the Chicago spot price had a special bearish effect.
 Something of a struggle in the corn market resulted from standing orders to buy at around 75Ac. Word of a little export business in corn helped also to bring about fractional rallies and so did the fact that receipts were light.
 As a result of dearth of speculative buying the wheat market, wheat was easily affected when the corn decline became pronounced. Earlier the wheat market was little firmer, chiefly in response to Liverpool advices that European stocks were moderate, and that France and Italy would need to purchase literally for a considerable while yet.
 Oats like wheat eased down in sym pathy with corn despite some lack of rain for the Iowa oats crop.
 Provisions were steady because of 8 raise in hog valnes.

N. O. COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. May 1s.-After ruling steady and comparatively quiet during the greater part of the session today the cot ton market experienced a sharp advance in the last hour. establishing a substan- tial gain. After trading at 31-00c in the first part of the morning May advanced to 31.75c largely on buying by New Eng land mills July after trading as low as 2S53c advanced 5s points to 2o.0Sc- Oc- tober declined to 24.1Sc or points net lover at the start and later advanced to 24e75c or 57 points above the low. The close showed net gains of IS points on May and A. to 51 points on later posi- tions.
 The market opened at a slight ad- vance due mainly to overnight private re- ports of unfavorable weather After cas- ing off moderately and establishing low for the day of 10 points under the precious close, the market gradually inn proved on cold weather in the belt a fore cast of continued cold weather in the west with probability of frost in Oklahoma and in the Texas Panhandle
 During the afternoon prices advanced rapidly the initial incentive being re- port that the President would veto the bonus bill The advance was accelerated by reports that large operator was coN- ering a considerable short line in July and that New England mills had been buying near months freely to cover shorts having neglected to fix prices on cotton derstoood there still existed a fair sized short interest in May lOeAlly and that all of it.
