NEW YORK, October S.--Although

whole was steady, and one or two of

ORDERS MODERATE
IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Better Export Demand Helps
Develop Firmer Tone to
the Copper Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October S.-Efforts
to interest consumers of steel during
the past week on larger scale than
recently, apparently proved unsucess-
full. Practically all reports told Of a
continuation of moderate orders, which
was viewed as disappointing for this
season of the year. In some instances
price shading was being done on
business for shipment the last quarter
of the wear. Some of the larger rail
roads were placing orders for de-
livery next year and actual contracts
closed, as we'll as pending business,
was estimated around 100000 tons.
Pig iron was dull and prices were
unchanged.
An improved export demand was
helped to develop a ffrmer under
tone in the copper market. Recent
offerings at concessions appear to
have been absorbed or withdrawn
and while demand for home consump.
ton has remained quiet, a better in
quiry is regarded as pointing to an
increased business, probably after the
publication of the monthly statistics

crease in stocks of refined. but that
this may be partly offset by an in.

tions abroad and an unexpected small
increase in the worlds visible supply
caused the firmness. Smaller Straits
shipments for October were being an

Lead was easier in tone owing to
an unsettled price situation abroad
Mine production of lead was re-
ported to have been reduced in sew
eral districts of late. Domestic inquiry
was fair.
Zinc was slightly easier at the be-
ginning of the week, owing to
moderate reduction in the ore basis
and a rather light consuming inquiry
Later the market was steadier, as
producers were unwilling to press
sales.
Antimony averaged f1rmer for both
spot and futures and the renewal of
aggressive civil war in China, with
the uncertain stock situation, proved
to be the principal factors.
