STATISTICS WILL SHOW
STEEL INDUSTRY BETTER
Dun's Review Says Prices Have
Moved In Buyers Favor.

The month of May brought a de-
cided re-adjustment in the iron and
steel industry, as statistics Of pro-
duction will show when they be-
come available. Demand in about
all lines fell off, forcing a general
restriction of output, and prices
have moved more strongly in buy
ers' favor. Further declines ap-
peared this week in the compila-
lions made by The Iron Age, with
a composite finished steel price at
the lowest point in more than
fifteen months.
Uncertainty as to the future
course of prices tends to limit new
business, but the policy of the prin-
cipal producer in maintaining
wages is regarded in some quarters
as making unlikely any marked con-
cessions from current prices. A
year ago prices We're also easing,
but the markets then were con-
siderably above the present basis.

DW CUtLtu Gfcoc
CHICAGO, May 31.-Grains broke
sharply at the finish on the Chi
cago Board of Trade today. Belated
liquidation sent wheat prices tum-
bling. The break was checked only
by the clsOing gong.
Attempts to sell out by longs, who
had held firm hoping for higher
bids, brought about the slump. May
corn led in the downturn. After
hitting new high territory on the
crop this delivery dipped sharply,
closing pa off.
Oats displayed more strength at
the finish, although values were low
er. Provisions showed some effect
from the grain weakness, closing

Market ReUiezU
Hogs

Hogs
In reviewing for the week the local
livestock market, one thing FREEDOM
mates, the steady price and demand
for hogs of the heavy class. On
Monday they were quoted at $3.50
and $7.65, top price for the day.
Tuesday they were a nickel lower
with the general market. The same
thing happened Wednesday. When
prices advanced Thursday 10 to Is
cents, heavyweights brought the top.
The hog trade has fiuctuated within
narrow limits during the week. Re-
ceipts were averaging about the
same as last years.
Cattle
The cattle division held fairly
steady for all good classes. Butcher
stuff and Hghtweights were off a
dime to Is cents. Buying interest
held up very good. Efforts to bring
the prices down in accord with sew
eral outside markets materialized
only partly. Receipts have been
fairly light and little less than
last year at this time. Calf trad
ing displayed the usual amount Of
interest. Prices in general were
steady, with exception of Tuesday,
when the top was quarter lower.
Bulk of sales for the week were
made at $40.
Sheep and Lambs
This market is still the least &C.
tive Of any in the yards. Receipts
have been light. Receipts this time
last year were averaging about 200
Lamb prices generally have been 81
higher at SIS than last year. Other
quotations have been about the
same.
