NEW YORK, April 17--Compared
with n year ago, the demand for
steel during the past week was very
satisfactory, but 1t was generally ad-
mitted that the volume Of business
Is slowly but steadily falling off.
Buyers were very cautious as, while
prices were steady, there were no
evidences OF future strength to en-
courage placing orders in excess Of
nearby requirements. Pig iron was
quiet and about steady. Foreign
iron was being sold more freely at
sharp discounts under domestic and
caused talk OF advocating u higher

Copper has been drmer since tho
publication of the March statistics

These figures evidently encouraged a

while they also appeared to nave

and exporters showing increased in

being at an unusually wide discount.
July delivery of wheat thus became
the speculative trade leader, and at
one time scored an impressive advance
of cents q buShel, as compared with
yesterdays finish. 4 trade opinion
which received much notice was that
the price Of July wheat would be gov
erned by uncertainties of the grow

best demand in years for the first
movement Of new wheat. Less favor
able crop reports from the South
west were the subject Of comment on
this account Complaints Of dry
weather and low temperatures affect-
ing wheat prospects were also at hand
from parts Of Nebraska and from the
American and Canadian Northwest.
It was asserted that there is virtually
no reserve subson moisture in the
greater part OF the Spring wheat belt
and that lateness of seeding puts the
Spring crop in serious danger of dam
age BY rust or excessive heat in July
and August.
Corn and oats advanced with wheat.
Prolonged cool weather counted also
as a bullish factor in the corn mar

was reported.
Provisions were responsive to grain

Reports of rivalry and lack OF
cooperation between the Detective
Bureau and the precincts has led
to an investigation by Major Edwin

He has ordered that all precinct

That the rumor of friction be-

IN a memorandum issued yesterday.
In part Inspector Pratt points to
the duties of the detective bureau

Of potash which have been discovered

square kilometers are known to be

that it extends under surface Of
1900 square kilometers, a much
greater source of supply than that Of

that it can deliver potash at the port
