IRON. TRADE REVIEW

CLEV BLAND, O., June 12.-(SpeclAl) Iron Trade Review today says:
 How totally new buying has been choked off until 1t has assumed abnor- nal proportions is shown by the un- filled orders for the Steel Corporation in May. At the end of May the un- shipped business of the leading pro- ducer was at the lowest point since No vember, 1924, and even was 12 per cent under the low point of the depression of 1921. Only twice since 1912 have the thrilled bookings been so small.
 More general buying of pig iron was done the past week than in at least three months. Selling interests of Cleveland closed 50,000 tons, at New York, 10000 tons, and bookings at Pitts burg, Buffalo, St. Louis and other cen ters were much heavier. Heating ap- paratus and sanitary ware manufactur- CTS have been the highest buyers, taking possibly 100000 tons.
 A further measure of drop in April May operations Is production of steel ingots in the latter month. On an aver age daily basis, May showed a loss of 24.1 per cent, which, with the 23.6 per cent decline in April, means shrink age in 60 days of approximately 39 per cent from the recent high point. From a record annual rate of 5O,000, 900 tons in March, steel works output had dropped to approximately SC, 0,27O, ,0O0 tons per year in May.
 On the all-May basis, the country was making steel tngots at about 5S per cent of total capacity. Chicago works are down to 55 per cent this week, while in the Pittsburg area steel-mak- ing operations are not much over 40 to 45 per cent. In the Mahoning valley, independent works are engaged at the lowest rate since July, 1921
 The principal transactions in steel making iron were 10000 tons of basic sold by the Ford furnaces, and 10000 to St. Louis and Pittsburg interests. Prices have receded in some districts Soc per ton.
 Oil tankage revives and 10000 tons is before builders, 15,000 being new and the leading lot being 7,500 tons for the Maryland Refining company. Conspicu- ous inthe railroad news of the week, Missouri Pacific is reviving inquiry for 2,000 freight cars.
 Price margins between the schedules of the Steel Corporation and of the. in- dependents probably have been elimi- mated. The former now is meeting as conditions require the $4 per ton lower figure on sheets named by independents. Several weeks previously a $2 per ton reduction in wire products by the lead ing interest leveled off that market. In plates, shapes and bar, Pittsburg mills are holding the open price of 220c, Pittsburg, with at least $1 lower to the preferred list.
 A slightly lower figure is shown by Iron Trade Review composite of IA leading iron and steel products again this week. The index is $40.66, as against $40.S4 last week.

BONDS ASCEND
 TO YEARS TOP
Sales Total $26,0OO,OOO Highest Since Jan
 uary, 1922

NEW YORK, June 12.--Unprece- dented activity in the bond market, in direct response to the lowered redis- count rate, today carried prices to the years highest level and ran total sales above $26,O00,O00, the largest since January, 1922,
 Accumulation of large overnight buy ing orders which followed announce me1lt of the cut in both New York and Boston bank rates to 31a per cent threw the bond trading section of the New York, stock exchange in confusion at the opening of the market and hun dreds of orders remained unexecuted. Prices surged upward from the start and at the close showed the largest average gain of any day this year.
 All previous 1924 records were shat tered by United States government bonds, four issues mounting to the high est price ever recorded. The usual in stitutional buying. of these obligations was swelled by steady flow of small investment orders.
 Treasury Ifs sold at record top price of 104.S and the Liberty second, third and fourth Ifs also scaled new peaks.
 All classes of railroad liens shared in the advance, both recognized invest ment issues and popular speculative de- scriptions being quoted at the years best figures. Trading in the foreign government list was buoyant, Japanese issues joining in the movement, regain ed a large part of their recent loss. Gains of i to 2 points were scattered through the public utility and industrial sections.
 A $10,000OO0 issue of Argentine gov ernment IA per cent notes, offered today was absorbed quickly.

I'D ETAIL trade the country over, states the Federal Reserve Board
 in it's most recent report, has been in larger volume thus far this year than it was during the same period of 1923.
 It will be seen from the above figures that retail sales are reported as great CT in every reserve district except in St. Louis. Minneapolis and Kansas City. Even in these three sections no great decline from 1923 is apparent. In fact, the April reports fer the St. Louis and Minneapolis districts reveal ed an increase over April, year ago.

selves, is to be found in extremely heavy chain store and bargain base ment sales. These have raised the aver age for all stores.
 More important, perhaps, is the fact that higher selling costs, public opposi- tion to higher prices and the consequent dwindling of profits form more the basis of retailers complaints than do greatly decreased volumes of sales.
 It is little wonder that many retail CTS view their situation gloomily. Cor rection. in some way of the illogical relationship prices and profits is needed and will come Meanwhile, there is satisfaction in knowing that the public is still buying and still has plenty of money with which to satisfy its wants.
