BUSINESS VOLUME
GAINS DURING WEEK
General Level of Wholesale Prices
Lower-Federal Loans
Are Larger.

The dollar volume of business during
the week ended March showed a de-
cided improvement over recent weeks,
but was lower than for the same week
of 1929, according to the weekly state
ment of the Department of Commerce.
Reports from the steel industry, cover
ing the latest reported week, indicate
lowered activity, as compared both with
the previous week and the same week
of last year. Bituminous coal produc-
ton and crude petroleum output were
also smaller than for either prior period.
The general level of wholesale prices
was lower during the week than for
either the previous week or for the same
period of 1929. Cotton and iron and
steel prices also declined from both
prior periods. Wheat and copper prices
for the latest reported week showed no
change from the previous week, but
were lower than year ago.
Loans and discounts of Federal Re
serve member banks at the end of the
week were larger than at the end of
either the preceding week or of the cor
responding week of last year Prices for
stocks also advanced from the previous
week, but were lower than a year ago.
interest rates declined from both prior
periods. Bond prices were fractionally
higher than in the previous. week, but
lower than year ago. Business fall
ures were slightly more numerous than
during either the previous week or the
corresponding week of last year.

QUIETER MARKET
FOR STEEL EXISTS
Industry Has Slowed Down
Production Somewhat Since
Buying Orders Declined.
Special Dispatch to The star.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March Is
Difficulties Of maintaining steelmaking
operations at rs to 80 per cent contrast
sharply with the upturn characteristic
of this season and usually eliminating
in the years high in March or April,
says Iron Trade Review. But consider
ing that the railroads and the automo-
tive industry, representing almost 40
per cent of the country's buying power
for steel, are most conservative in their
commitments, the situation is not dis
couraging.
Railroad purchasing of equipment
and track material has run its course
by this time, as expected, with indica-
lions that some equipment additions
scheduled for Spring will be scaled
down, if not postponed, because of the
decline in freight traffic. Automobile
production this month may do well to
equal the February daily rate, and
specifications based on expectations for
an increase have been suspended. At
tractive pipeline projects still fail OF
financial backing. Structural steel
awards. on the other hand, while some
what behind 1929. display unlooked-for
virility.
The general manufacturing trade IN
the aggregate is lending no little sup
mort. largely making possible the snow
ing of an increase of 1893 tons IN the
untitled tonnage of the United states
steel CORPORATION as of February 70,
where a decrease would have occasloned
no surprise. At 4,479,748 tons, the
corporations backlog is the largest since
February, 1925. -
For steel ingot production in Feoru-
airy to attain a daily rate OF lo9'4Ss
gross tons. a 81 per cent increase over
January. and, excepting the 1870, $50 tons
of last February, the best February rate
in history. in the face of moderately
declining operations late in the month,
is heartening.
Consumers requirements do not
supply much incentive to cover Tor the
second quarter, yet the price situation
is clarifying. Heavy finished steer
producers are open to second-quarter
bc~l-.r~5 at $l.85, Pittsburgh, with
Chicago mill prices settling to $i;9O'
Makers of nails claim to have with
drawn quotations under $3.50, Plus
burgh, and to be standing on $2.40 for
wire. Wire rods are more definitely
S3S, Pittsburgh. Some advances have
been announced in flat-rolled steel but
without sufficient bookings to establish
them.
Pig iron for second-quarter delivery
is being priced at current levels, repre-
senting in some districts so cents to 81
declines from first-quarter contracts.
Iron and steel scrap tends weaker, with
short interests more active. The Steel
Corporation has been heavy buyer OF
heavy melting steel, estimated at 10000
tons, at $l6.75 to SIT, Pittsburgh.
Largely rejecting adjustments in semi
finished material, now openly recog-
nized, the Iron Trade Review composite
declined 10 cents this week to $3494,
a loss of about per cent since Janu-
airy and the lowest point touched
since August, 1928.
Steel Corporation subsidiaries this
week continue at about IS per cent,
with independent mills about 70 per
cent. and the entire industry averag-
ing n per cent.

According to Rating
After Inquiry.

With the prospect that general levels
of productions and profits during the
current half year, at least, will be sub
stantially below the peak totals of the
first half of 1929, it becomes increaS-
ingly important to determine correctly
those lines of activity which, during the
coming months, will show the greatest
resistance to the depressing influences
now dominant. Analysing various
groups. from a profits standpoint, the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York be-
lieves the best possibilities of increasing
returns during the current period, as
compared with the like half of 1929, to
lie in the following claSsifications:
Chain stores, electrical equipment,
motion pictures, shipbuilding; tobacco,
cigarettes; utilities, electric power and
light and telephone and telegraph
Groups which, while possibly not
quite equaling the aggregates of a year
ago, should show minimum of decline
during the current six months include:
Chemicals. machinery and machine
equipment and railroad equipment.
Industries which are likely to expert
ence the most marked declines in in

Desire on the part of business men
and investors to buy at the low" is
having a greater influence than nearly
any other factor in keeping the pace of
business at a moderately low rate.
There is a general feeling among BUSH
ness men that they can buy pretty much
when they please. -
They do not have to hurry in filling
their future requirements, they believe,
and are proceeding on hand-to-moCth
basis in anticipation of the possibility
that commodity prices will go still lower
They are not alarmed about business
in the slightest, nor do they seem to
anticipate any marked cut in prices.
They simply feel that there may be
possibility to buy somewhat lower and
that they can ford to wait.
This situation cannot continue since
stocks are low and buying power Is still
maintained at high level When the
flood OF orders does come, it is likely to
be heavy one.
Agricultural Situation.
Another fact which has been Of in
fiuence on conditions is the agricultural
situation. The Farm Board has given
evidence of its ability to check falls in
wheat prices, but it has announced that
it will not buy more wheat unless it is
necessary. On the other hand, the
board has been voted an additional APP
preparation of $100,O00,O0O to aid the
farmer.
Chairman Legge of the Farm Board
declares that there is no hope of reliev-
ing the congestion of wheat for at least
go days. This is balanced by the fact
that stocks of wheat on the farms are
lower than they have been at this time
of year for many seasons.
The board is still worried over the
cooperation of farmers in reducing

The weather has not been favorable for
heavy production of crops. Despite these
facts, the business of the farm imple-
ment manufacturers has been excellent.

lead of production, with an adequate
number of orders and prospects for bet

but, on the other hand, in the producing
centerS optimism prevails.
The non-ferrous metals are steady
and the radio industry is getting itself
on a normal and healthy basis. Use of
electric power is still high. Demand for
apparel is beginning to improve. Latest
reports from the oil industry indicate
slight decreases in production, with
some advances in crude prices. The
sustaining of the California gas wastage
law has helped conditions also.
Income Tax Payments.
The sugar producers are feeling more
cheerful as result of the Senate action
on the sugar tariff schedule. Demand
for Office equipment Is fair and the
amusement industries promise to do ex-
cellently this Spring and Summer
Railroad car loadings are of good pro-
portions and the volume of air traffic is

The volume of income tax payments,

the excellent state of the Nations bust

Reduction of the rediscount rate by
the New York Federal Reserve Bank to
3R per cent is regarded as a helpful
factor in reviving business.
