STEEL TRADE CREEPS UP.
Composite Price of Finished Prod
uct Lowest Since 1922.

NEW YORK. August 10 LP.-
Marking the lowest point in three
years. the Iron Age composite price
for finished steel is 1896 cents per
pound this week, compared with 2.4S9
cents in the four preceding weeks.
Not since August IS, 1922, has the
figure been so low. The pig iron com
posite price advanced 1 cents to $50
this week, compared with S19.46 one
year ago and s25.29 two years ago.
While forward buying of steel is
as truly absent as at any time in re-
cent months. the volume of week to-
week purchases is creeping up and
the scale of mill operations tends to
increase Iron Age says. With this
further gain in orders there are signs
of less f1rmness in prices of the three
heavier forms of finished steel, plates,
shapes and bars. II has happened be
fore. following duh period such as
the industry has had since March,
that prices IN these three lines are
less easily maintained when more

Market Control

The British government commits
sion which is conducting an inquiry
into wheat prices is being told BY
all British authorities that there
is nothing in the gossip OF wheat
market control. Some of the state
nents of Broomhall, the well-known
grain statistIcian, are of especial in
terest, among them one to the effect
that wheat is usually cheaper at
the British ports than in the ex-
porting countries. costs OF trans
portation taken into account.
The phenomenon seemed to be
paradoxical he said, but little
reflection would satisfy an I'M
prejudiced inquirer that the OPP
posite statement would be not
only phenomenon. but mar
vel, for if margins of direct actual
profit existed in the grain i'm
porting business everyone would
be engaged in it and all would
soon be millionaires. His expert
cnce as a dealer for fifteen years
and as a close observer during
the past thirty-six years had
taught him that in the organized
market the importing margin
could rarely, if ever, be relied
upon to make direct profit.
The witness said it seemed to
him that the whole action of
the Commission in looking into
the price OF wheat and bread
was rather in the nature OF
straining at gnat and swallow
ing a camel. Profits were SO
minute in the trade that it was
impossible to discern them with
the naked eye. When the far
mer got about i'd. a pound for
his wheat the consumer paid
about 2Ad. a pound for his
bread. after merchants, steam
ship companies, millers, bakers
and everyone else concerned had
paid expenses and made profits.
We brought in wheat from Aus
tralia and sold bread in this
country at the same price as it
was sold in Australia. Bread was
cheaper in this country than in
Canada and the United States.
He also said that the great differ.
,nce in the prices on the 1928 and
1924 crops was due to a lack OF
speculation on the former. He is
quoted upon this point as follows:
During the six or seven years
of control the personnel of the
grain trade became reduced and
the nerve and enterprise OF re-
manning members was badly
shaken. High prices, absence OF
ADEQUATE financial means. high
income tax, super-tax, and the
feeling OF lassitude after the pro-
