WEEKLY METAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK. october 8 (P).-The
steel market has entered the last
quarter OF the year In an apparently
prosperous condition. Mills are reported
we'll supplied with orders which will
assure active production and prices are
we'll maintained. The question OF future
business Ii considered rather problemat-
teal, but while some authorities have
predicted a slowing down before the end
Of the quarter, there appears to be
potential requirements which many be-
iievs will develop into good sales. Pig
iron was Arm, with new business mod
crate. but the output we'll sold ahead
Although new business In copper has
been confined TO small filling in lots,
producers are active. making large ship
nents against contracts, which it Is
believed will take care of most of their
output for some time ahead. Con-
sumption continues at a high rate,

owing to activity In industries using
finished products, so that fabricatofs
are said to be assured of q good demand
for the remainder of the year. With
production and consumption just now
about balanced, prices hold steady and
unchanged at 1914 cents delivered in
the Connecticut Valley.
Tin was .quieter and with less active
demand prices we're a shade easier,
although offers were not heavy.
Lead was quiet as a result Of halt
In the advance in London, but prices
were steadily held.
Zinc was reported moving well
through consumptive channels but new
buying was light and prices steady.
Antimony was quiet with buyers eau
tious. owing to some disposition to take
prof1ts. Prices were unchanged.

Mr.. M4DOO PASSES

One thing that appears to be definitely settled by
the presidential primary is the elimination of William
Gibbs McAdoo as power in Democratic politics.
His advocacy of Senator Thomas j. Walsh of
Montana as opponent of Governor Smith was based
ON such fmsy grounds to invite the support of very
few regular Democrats. Not that many Democrats
would not like to Senator Walsh recognized as
political leader but there doubling the fact that
Al Smith today is the outstanding leader of the Bour
bons This fact is more true than previous to
the primary, yet McAdoo would not permit himself to
believe it.
McAdoo not able to swing his own small
precinct for Walsh, the latter splitting the lead with
Reed. Many Democrats through the plan to get
Smith any way and have been surprised that Sena-
tor Walsh permitted his to be used when astute
politician that he is he must have known that he had
chance and being used catspaw.
Aside from the elimination of McAdOo, the Splen-
did vote given to Secretary Hoover the graft
tying part of the primary to many Californians 1t is
always difficult to work up much political enthusiasm
when has clear field such Mr. Hoover had
and many Republicans, busy with their personal
affairs refused to take time to go to the polls assu
ing the attitude that it unnecessary.
The fact that his vote was considerably in excess
of the three Democratic candidates combined forecasts
landslide for Hoover in November assuming that he
is nominated at Kansas City, assumption that ap-
pears wholly warranted at present and which grows
stronger each day.

We LIKE "

Considerable criticism has been heard in the city
over the number of precincts into which the city was
divided for the state primary, and which arrangement
apparently is to stand for future elections.
Wmle the Jump from eight to % precincts is quite
large one and causes many citizens grumble the
additional expense of tanning them, there is no
doubt that the additional precincts aided in obtaining
quick compilation of the vote
OF having no business because of the light vote on
tuesday but those who grumbled forgot all about it
When 1t came time to check up the returns, as their
work was completed in hour or slightly more in
stead OF the several hours it formerly took
. Whatever others may say about the redivsion of
the city, neWspapermen strong supporters of it.
Although there were three times many precincts to
cover, the final results known and sent out to
coast centers tar IN advance of previous election
That, perhaps is selfish way to view the matter but
election time is the newspapermans time to be some
what selfish He wants speed at all times, but espe-
clay when there returns from elections to be COM
piled and he got it Tuesday night.

reached up with an empty lollypor
