RECOVERY IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IS SLOW
Trade Sources Expect Bet
ter Business to Develop
in Near Future.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 10.--Seasonal
recovery in iron and steel. although
confidently expected by the trade, is
slow in materializing, Iron Age will say
tomorrow in its weekly review CT the
industry.
Demand for finished steel thus far
this month has been moderately larger
than in the corresponding part Of Au-
gust" the review states, but nothing
resembling a broad buying movement
has set in and the persistence of dis
cordant market tendencies continues to
obscure the outlook
"Curtailment of pig iron production,
which, according to complete returns,
amounted to 4.6 per cent in August. is
apparently still under way. Following
q net loss last month of five active
blast furnaces, of which four were steel
works units, four additional furnaces
have been taken out so far in SepLeTn-
Der. three of them steel plant stacks
The evidence OF an unchecked de-
cline in the pig iron requirements of
steel producers is in sharp contrast with
the increase of SIS per cent in steel ingot
output in August and the further gain
this month indicated by current esti-
mates. Yet present ingot production is
fully So per cent of today'S capacity
total officially reported at the close of
1920 and 11a per cent higher than the
average for last month.
"An increase in miscellaneous orders
for steel indicates revival of interest
on the part of consumers who have not
been in the market recently Some for
ward buying has also developed, particu-
larly in light rolled products, makers Of
which gave customers an opportunity to
get under cover at prices prevailing be-
fore the recent price stiffening.
The customary Fall and Winter rail
buying movement, even if smaller than
a year ago, is also relied on to i'm
prove mill bookings. The Reading has
placed 10000 tons and the Lackawanna
$500 tons, while the New York Central
lines are expected to enter the market
shortly for 10000 tons. A purchase of
305 freight cars and IL locomotives by
the Lehigh & New England raises the
hope that the Fall will see more better
ment in railroad equipment buying, al
though large current SurpluSes of rolling
stock offer little encouragement"
Structural steel awards in the week
totaled $4,000 tons. This is about the
weekly average for the year. New
projects, amounting to $4,000 tons, were
the smallest since early in the year, but
in the week before II 900 tons of new
business came into the market.
The Iron Age composite prices remain
unchanged, that for finished steel be-
ing 2.142 cents pound and pig iron
$16.88 gross ton.

NEW YORK, September lo.-Evidence
that the current business depression has
reached its cyclical bottom, and started
on long upswing, is being presented In
financial and business circles in In
creasing volume.
Nevertheless, there is a distinct ten
dency to regard all signs, portents, and
even what seem to be basic statistics,
business executives and financiers have
been considerably chagrined at their
ready acceptance of the seasonal upturn
early in the year as evidence that buSi-
ness was once taking the high road to
prosperity after only momentary inter-
ruption. They are not disposed to risk
their regulations by venturing forecasts
at this time. when the business upturn
may be only a temporary, normal
Autumn trend.
Length Of Depressions.
The economic history of the past 40
in business have normally lasted from
one to two years, from top to bottom.
Few have lasted much more than a
year since the turn of the century, and
the average is about is or 16 months.
The recent downturn started in June,
1929, so more than IA months have al
ready elapsed. This record, the op-
timists have in their favor.
Among the more cheerful reports to
appear recently is one today from the
head of Interstate Department Stores,
which operates q chain of 33 stores,
mostly in important industrial cities.
Chain stores generally reported
further declines in August sales to the
lowest levels of the year, but the latter
part of the month appears to have been
more favorable President L. @. Feder-
man of Interstate explained, Improve
ment started about the middle of Au-
gust, as q result of increased pay rolls
in practically all of the 33 cities in
which We own stores"
Reports from the company's district
managers are stated generally to indi-
cate improvement. OF three automotive
plants in Lansing, Mich, one, which
does q large export business, reports
better orders from abroad than at this
time last year. and is stepping up its
production from about IS per cent of
capacity to more than 80. Another COM
pany, which has been operating around
20 per cent, is planning to treble its
output shortly, and the third is plan
ming substantial expansion.
Gain in Employment.
The General Electric plant at Fort
Wayne, Ind, according to the store
chains reports, is employing 20 per
cent of full force, against 55 per cent
few weeks ago. Diversified factories
in and around Springfield and Dayton
Ohio, and Muncie, Ind, which few
weeks ago were working around 35 per
cent of capacity, are now up so, and
said to be gaining steadily. Similar re-
ports from other cities say that manu-
facturers generally plan to increase
operations substantially.

GOLD LURES
ST. LOUIS

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S dNSO.
Playing with the CLINT Of, world
series gold in their eyes. the in
spired st. Louis Cardinals, led by
Manager Gabby Stret, Miracle
Man" of the 1880 season, will
undertake to polish off the Brook
lyn Robins in the third and final
game Of their crucial series at
| Ebbets Field tbs afternoon and
sew up-the pennant" A victory
today, the Cards figure, would
just about turn the trick.
st. Louis. by virtue Of the two
stunning defeats they dealt the
Robins, have suddenly become
strong favorites to win the Ma
tional League flag and oppose the
Philadelphia Athletics in the
world series opening on October
II. They are now fraction more
than a full game ahead Of Brook
fyn; game and a half ahead Of
Chicago and 515 games ahead Of
New York and the race has only
ten days to go.
Manager Street is making no
predictions but it is evident he Is
highly pleased with the world in
general.
The hero Of the Cardinal camp
is Little Andy" High, q Brook
Iynl castoff, whose pinch-hitting
in this series has just about
wrecked the Brooklyn chances Of
winning the pen0ant. On Tues
day he came out Of the dug
out to pinch-hit in the tenth in
ming and he doubled and scored
the lone tally that beat Vance,
II to 0. And yesterday, pinch
hitting in the ninth with the
score tied, Andy doubled again,
driving in the two runs that
downed Luque, 5 to 3.
st. Louis is coming down the
home stretch in the pennant
race playing the best bali of any
of the contenders. Brooklyn,
after winning II straight, col
lided with the Cardinals and
were sunk twice, and now they
are reelir1g dizzily.

low keep on his toes constantly.
The main bout tonight will
