NEW YORK, March 5.-Further

The opening was steady at a de-

relatively easy Liverpool cables.
Liquidation was much less active

two days and initial offerings seemed
to be readily absorbed by covering

STEEL PRICE STEADY
IN WEEKS TRADING
Orders for More Extended
Deliveries Encourage
the Industry.

IA t19 Associated Press
NEW YORK. March Steel prices
were very steady during the past week
and the industry was encouraged by
orders for more extended deliveries
from many quarters than has been
the case for several months. 1ngot
output for February was per cent
greater than January.
Automobile manufacturers an
nounced a substantial increase in the
output schedule for March and larger
specifications against steel contracts
Were being anticipated. Structural
steel work was increasing and Tabrl-
Gators, bookings for February were
estimated at 16 per cent. Larger than
In January. Pig iron was steady in
nearly all centerS. Small orders were
received for second-quarter shipment.
Copper has shown continued firm
ness. Heavy sales by producers
during February, both here and in
Europe, appear TO have improved their
position and there has been evidence
of continued export interest, accom-
panied by reports of increasing con
sumption and diminishing warehouse
stocks abroad. Reports that one of the
companies, was curtailing production
at the mines may have had some in
huence on sentiment also, but the de-
mand for domestic consumption has
shown little. or no improvement. Sales
Of electrolytic have been reported at
the 1885 level, with productions gen.
orally holding for 1912 cents at the
end of the week
Tin prices declined sharply, early, as
a result of the disappointing statistical
position. A rally followed later with
London and a scarcity of spots.
Lead was advanced rather sharply
by one of the leading sellers in the
East, owing to the higher position at
London, continued good demand and
the fact that some producers were
being booked for March and April.
Zinc was steady. Consuming de-
mand was fair, largely for prompt
and all March shipment
Anthony was easier. with quite
nee offerings to consumers for June
arrivals.

THREE NOW IN LINE
FOR SHOT At TITLE
Dempsey, Sharkey and

Loom as ChaIIengers.
ny SPARROW McGANN.

w WHAT Is the outlook for do
ings among the big fellows
AN next year? Not so good.
That is the best break the
boxing fans Of the country
can beg.
Six months ago the forecast was
much better. At that time the WOODS
were full OF fstic monsters. among
whom seemed to be promise OF real
stellar ability.
Now the field has narrowed down
to three; count 'em--Jack Dempsey,
Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney.
1t liz taken for granted that Demp.
sey and Tunney will have third
meeting. All talk that Manassa Jack
would meet the survivor of Tex RICK
ards elimination tournament has been
aba ndoned The same sort of talk was
going the rounds last year-Dempsey
would fight his way through the drift
wood and IL successful would meet
Tunney. History records the activi'
ties Of Jack Dempsey as limited to
one tune.up contest. that with Jack
turn go with the champion two
months later.
The fans will take to third meet
ing between Jack and Gene Just as
much as they did in September. The
first go was spoiled by the rain. sick.
ness and a few other alibs. The sec
ond meeting provoked no end of ar
eument. The long count in the sew
enth round IL still the subject of heat
ed debate oil over the country. No
ballyhoo Ia necessary for a third go.
Dempsey's Plans Uncertain.
But will Dempsey ever fight again?
That IL the question Tex Rickard
would like to be able to answer def
nitely. Dempsey knows. hut he is
not telling Jack Is making another
splurge in the movies. And Mrs. Es-
telie Taylor Dempsey will be playing
the lead with her husband.
Does this mean that Dempsey In
making hay while the sun shines?
His star is still in the ascendan ncy.
How long will 1t stay there? VIII
he risk another whipping at the
hands of Tunney and the possibl.
loss OF idolatry and adulation that
Is his?. Dempsey Ia an attraction
40 long as he is winning or pulls
scme of the stuff he did in Chicag
last September. His name means
clinking dollars to the movie mag
name would be mud. The fans would
turn To Tunney and give him the
credit. belated 1t is true, that is his
just due.
Rickard assures the palpitatiHS
fght fans that the Sharkey-Heen
contest will he staged January l3.
Much has been made about the Bos-
ton mans little finger. 1t Ia the frat
time IN he history of the game that
an injury tn such an unimpo, tani
member of the hand has caused the
postponement OF an important con-
test. If II was the knuckle, wrist or
The index finger. there would he some
justification Tor postponement.
The little finger? Perhaps IL would
he better II Mr.. Rickard came right
out In the open and said the real
cause WAS the fact that the public
did not fancy the high prices he wa>
charging for seemingly cnlorless
