METALS ARE STEADY;

Tin Advanced to Highest Price in
Two Years-Copper Con-

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. March 20.-Active
production again featured the steel
market during the past week, and,
while new business was not believed
to equal distribution, there were evi-
dences of improvement in the demand
and prospects were considered favor
able for more general buying with the
coming of Spring weather. Prices on
the whole were steady. Pig iron was
quiet with the demand still confined
principally to small lots, but values
displayed more stability.
Copper has been quiet, but gener.
ally steady. With production heavy
and European demand restricted, do
mestic buyers have shown little dis
position to meet higher asking prices
Deliveries against old contracts have
continued In satisfactory volume
however. while home consumption 10
expected to continued large and pro-
ducers are showing little disposition
to press for sales.
Tin advanced to the highest price
in over two years, the outcome of
urgent buying occasioned by fears of
acute stringency of supplies and in
response to the bullish showing in
London. Last prices were off from
the best. due to freer offerings or
Banka tin for nearby shipment.
Lead has developed a f1rmer tone,
the recent decline serving to bring in
a flood of buying by consumers.
Zinc was firmer, with a better con.
sumer demand and in sympathy with
the advance abroad
With a better inquiry for early ar
rivals at the end of the week a firmer
undertone he's developed in the an.

NEW YORK, March 20.--Decided
strength, accompanied by fairly active
trading in the Gil division on the Curb
Exchange today was in sharp contrast
to the general trend of prices that
prevailed in the other groups. Public
utilities were inclined to be easier on
the usual small offerings. General
Gas and Electric was in early supply
and sold off 8 points. Electric Bond
and Share declined a point and lower

Improvement and United Light.
Moderate strength was shown in a
few industrials, which included a
3-point advance in Continental Baking
"A" Bloomingdale common and pre-
ferred issues held steady. TubiZe Ar
tificial Silk declined 20 points, selling
to 2S0, but recovered almost that
amount on a later rally.
In the oils. Vacuum and Humble
scored early advances. while Standard
Oil of New York suffered a further
loss of / point, selling to 32A. Tide
water Associated, when issued, showed
increased activity.
The tone on the curb market gener-
ally during the week was heavy. there
being steady crumbling away of
values in many issues which had for a
long time been prominent in specula-
tive affairs, but strength was shown
at times in other stocks, making them
prominent. Among these we're Safety
Car Heat and Light, which made a
gain Of over 4 points, while, many
other stocks declined and Southern
Ice and Utilities "a" which moved
up over points.
A dozen or more active issues on the
various declines from the beginning Of
the week made new low record
for the year, but many still remained
substantially above the low records
made on the heavy selling two weeks
ago. Some Of the specialties were
without nearby demand, feature N'
ing American Seating Co.. which Fri
day sold at 2o1, loss Of 46 points
from the preceding sale made a week
ago. Bucyrus dropped 80 points. Land
Co. Of Florida, which has been de-
clining steadily for some time dropped

NEW YORK, March 20.-EX-
tremely narrow price fluctuations

active issues drifted fractionally low

elsewhere to hold the general list fair

Speculative interest in oil company
obligations was revived by the an
nouncement of the proposed merger
of the Standard Oil Co. Of New York
and the General Petroleum Corpora
ton, representing the fourth major
consolidation in the oil industry this
year. SkeTy Oil Gas rebounded 31a

THE LACK
OF WHISPERS

An official of prominent farm or
ganization, who recently made a
tour of the agricultural regions of
the United States, is said to have
expressed surprise after returning
from visit to twenty-five states,
that he found almost no farmers
with long flowing whiskers. This
should have been no great surprise
to man who keeps in touch with
the farmers of America, but great
many of our people who live in the
big cities might find out even more
surprising things about our rural
communities than this newly discoy-
cred whiskerless era.
Farmers no longer wear whiskers
for the same reason that city men
no longer wear them-because whis-
kers are no longer the fashion. There
may have been time, in our pioneer
days, when the farmer looked differ
ent from the fellow who lived in town
And he may have been little more
innocent in some ways. But that day
has gone forever.
Nowadays when farmer goes to
the city he dresses and acts like the
fellow who lives in the city. There
are now more "greenhorns" living in
New Yory City, than in the rural por-
ton of the state The farmer is rap
idly becoming a suburbanite. Good
roads, the automobile the telephone,
radio, rural electric power, and so on
are extending the suburbs to all parts
of the country. The farmer now
knows better what is going on in the
city than the city man does. In spite
of his long hours of toll he has more
time to read and think than the av-
erage city man who is constantly
struggling for living.
Nowadays when the city slicker
wants to sell the Brooklyn bridge or
the Field Museum to some sucker, he
doesn't pick on farmer. He tries
his stuff on some city "greenhorn'
who has never been more than eight
or ten blocks from home.
