WEEKS BUTTER MARKET
UNSETTLED, SENSITIVE
Indication That Prices Were Near
ing Bottom Level, Federal Bu-
reau of Economics Reports.

By the Assoca ted Press.
CHICAGO, May 17.-Although the
butter markets were unsettled and
sensitive during the last week, some
butter was stored on all markets ex-
cept New York, and there was some
indication that prices were nearing
bottom, according to the weekly re-
view Of the federal bureau OF agri-
cultural economics, issued To-Day.
Production and receipts showed a de-
cided increase, but receivers, Whiie
pressing goods for sale on arrival,
were unwilling as a rule to shade
prices and were inclined to put goods
of merit in storage
While the trade was rather quiet,
grass butter began to make Its ap-
pearance, which generally means but
ter suitable for storage.
The monthly cold storage report
of May Is showed $4,000 pounds
3,248.000 a year ago and against a
fve-vear average of 6,401,000.
Up to Friday receipts at the four
markets were 130,902 tubs, compared
yith 116,117 tubs the previous week
The American Creamery Butter Manu-
facturers' Association report for the
week ending May 10 indicated an in
crease Of 81 per cent ovr tn cor
responding week last year and 9.5
over last week, and the Minnesota
Cooperative Creameries Association
over the previous week.
Wholesale prices of 80 score butter on
May 9 and Is, at Chicago, were SO
and 37k, respectively; at New York,
3S1a and 39h; at Boston, SO and 40,
and at Philadelphia, 1914 and 40A.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
MAKES LITTLE GAIN
Some Price Concessions Expe.
rienced, But Producers Strive
to Hold Market.
BY the Associated PreS4.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May livery little,
IL any, improvement was noted in
the demand for steel this week. and
further reductions in production oc-
Cured to conform with the indiffer-
ence OF buyers. Price concessions
were experienced in a number OF di-
rections, although producers on the
hold the market by not pressing
sales. Stocks have not accumulated
and the statistical position was con-
sidered firm. New business in pig
iron was also small, with buyers
operating on hand-to-mouth basis,
while prices remained about steady.
No Improvement was reported in
the demand for copper and prices
were shaded by both second hands
and producers without attracting
ume OF business. The declines abroad
have been attributed partly to fur
ther liquidation or reselling by Ger
man interests due in some measure
to unsettled financial conditions. Buy
ers for domestic consumption have
been holding off. Electrolytic was
quoted today at 12h for prompt and
second-quarter delivery. with some
producers asking 13 for later posi-
tions.
Tin continued easy. Consumers ap-
pear to lack confidence in the situa-
tion, partly due to the weakness
abroad, which has resulted from fur
ther liquidation.
Lead was quiet at further declines.
Domestic consumption is small, and
as production has continued fairly
full. stocks are accumulating.
Zinc ruled quiet and easier, with
domestic and foreign interest small.
Firmness in antimony was pro-
NOTED by strength in China, where
diminished output has encouraged

ing was high. Bonds Of states and
municipalities OF unQuestioned credit
went up along with government Sc
curities.
Slowing Up Of Business Indicated.
Going back to the happenings Of
progressive slowing up, the duration
of which was matter on Which
opinion differed widely. 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that any sudden IN
crease in the demand for money Tor
commercial purposes was improbable
and that the investment market was
not likely to have much competition
from this source for some time to
come. In fact 1T was stated that
many industrial corporations them
selves had been buying high-grade
investment securities.
The uncertainty about foreign af-
fairs was evidenced mostly in the
market for foreign bonds. The first
effect of the news about the French
election was a softening in the quo
tations for French bonds along with
that for franc exchange. Second
thought was more reassuring, 1T be-
ing the general opinion that the
new French cabinet would be more
favorably disposed toward the Dawes
report than the Poincare govern
the French internal fiscal policy.
Any attempt to undo the work al
ready accomplished toward balancing
the French budget could not but re-
act on French securities. 1t was also
recognized that much time must
be decisively answered and that
meantime speculative buying of
French dollar bonds in this market
would halt Notwithstanding all this
uncertainty, the net loss in market
price Of French bonds was very
Complicated by Politics.
The outlook of the railroads at
home is complicated by politics. Not
until Congress has adjourned will
the threat of adverse legislation be
removed. Another consideration is
the showing to be made by the April
and May earnings statements. Results
for April will be made public be-
ginning next week and they are ex-
pected to make a disappoin ting show
ing in comparison with a year ago.
The peak of business came during
April and May last year, but in June
there was a falling of. Comparisons,
therefore, of earnings this year with
those of a year ago may more than
Offset the favorable impression created
by the recent raising of dividends.
This will affect stocks more than
amount of influence even upon bonds,
except those in the very highest clas-
sifcation.
AS to the bonus and tax reduction,
the defeat of the former and the ac-
complishment of the latter would
have an immediate and stimulating
effect upon the entire investment
market. If. on the contrary the bonus
bill is finally enacted as a law and tax
reduction fails. temporary reaction is
to be expected. But even then, easy
money will still be a steadying in
fluence.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BY GEORGE Il. HUGHES.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Seldom has
there been a week with more devel-
opments than might have been ex-
pected to influence the investment
market and security prices than the
past week shows. 1t opened with
traders digesting the significance Of
the unexpectedly large falling off in
untitled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation, generally regarded
as an index of trade conditions.
At the same time came the news
of the surprising overturn in the
French election. About midweek
there were the declaration of an ex-
ira dividend of l per cent on the
stock of the Atlantic Coast Line and
the raising of the rate on Louisville
and Nashville to a 6 per cent basis.
The week closed with the veto of the
bonus bill by the President. and ami
mated discussion of the chances for
this veto being upheld or overridden
by Congress.
Each of these developments has its
own significance with regard to the
long range outlook. but of more pres
ent effect than any of them was the
cumulative evidence of ease in the
money market. During the week,
rates for call money fell to the low
of the year and there was a CORES
ponding softening of the charges for
time funds. Under this stimulus
there was active buying of United
States government bonds, carrying
prices up to the high of the year and
in at least one case to the high for
all time.
Buying Mainly for Banks.
This buying was practically all for
the account of banks and financial
institutions. Savings banks in par
ticular were large purchasers of
liberty bonds, the return on these,
even at the advanced prices, COM
pairing favorably with the income
to be had from Short-term paper In
the case of the savings banks there
was another factor that entered into
the situation, more or less. namely,
that many banks were up nearly to
the limit for money allowed by law
to be put into real estate mortgages.
The resulting demand for securities
with which to employ surplus funds
was not confined to government
bonds. Railroad equipment certifi-
Gates were bought in large volume,
especially the shorter maturities
Equipment certificates are considered
payments upon them taking prece-
dence over those on first mortgage
bonds. The security is the equip
meut itself, absolutely essential to
operation, and when this is backed
by the guarantees of strong roads,
the combination is very attractive
Just now from S to So per cent is

mand. Other short-term securities
have been eagerly inquired for. but
