STEEL MEN SEEKING
CHANCES FOR SALES
Where Demand Can Be Increased
Proves Puzzle to Leaders in
Important Industry.


PITTSBURGH, August s.-During
the last week no light has been thrown
on the dificult question Of whence an
increase in steel demand would come.
That there was no satisfactory answer
was long ago admitted, and those who
predicted an increase fell back upon
seasonal precedent and hopes of re-
vival in general BUSINESS
Isolated cases of improvement are
reported, but they do not bear analysis
in the sense of being found to be
typical or suggestive that the same
causes may work elsewhere. From Chi
cago, for instance, comes a report of
improvement, but its chief basis Is
some large export orders for tractors
and the ending of vacations at a num-
Der of automobile plants. Exports of
farm implements. including tractors,
underwent large decrease In the last
few months and a substantial increase
would not restore conditions of early
this year.
AS to the automobile Industry, the
bare fact is that good news came out
and proved to have little favorable eff
feet. The resumption has occurred. and
ing sufficient to make q visible impress
upon steel production as a whole.
There is little doubt that the pro-
longed drought will lessen demand for
farm implements and steel for farm
use generally. There also is damage
to canning crops. affecting the future
of tin plate production, but this may
easily be overestimated. for there is
general line" consumption of tin plate.
not associated with crops. Some of
the. vegetable crops already are partly
packed.
Finished steel prices show no tend
ency to firm up. II any, market is
reported steadier than formerly. 1. e.,
with less cutting. The explanation
probably Is that current orders are too
small to bring out special prices.

ARGENTINE FARM
OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Drought in U. S. Expected to
Help Prices-Crops Are
Unusually Good.
Special Dispatch to The star.

special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-The serious
drought in the United States will be re-
fiected in marked improvement in
Argentinian conditions and much of
the depression in agriculture and BUSH
ness may be overcome according to ad-
vices received from the Buenos Aires
Office of the Central Hanover Bank e.
Trust Co.
Even at present prices for wheat the
Argentine farmer can make good
profit and any increase in going quo
tations means substantial addition to
the profit margin, according TO the adj
vices. The wheat crop promises to be
abundant.
More than 5000 900 tons of corn are
still to be exported. and 1t is probable
that this tonnage will command prices
far beyond anything considered possible
a few weeks ago. It Is estimated that
Argentina will have 100000 bushels
Of linSeed available for export between
now and December. Of which 100000
have not been sold.
The heavy rains during April, May
and June enabled farmers to prepare
their land and SOW grain under the
most favorable conditions. 1t is esti-
mated that the yield of wheat, linseed
and small grains will be above the aver
age. For the first time in many years
the whole country has had the benefit
of heavy rainfall
Retail trade has improved and the
number of failures during the past two
months is smaller than anticipated.
improvement of prices for agricultural
products will increase employment,
purchasing power will be higher, trade
more active and circulation of money
in the interior stimulated. Large or
ders for American agricultural ma
chinery and other commodities will
doubtless follow the anticipated very
general improvement.

Forecasts, Institute Says, in
Presenting Figures.

Though cognizant of the false alarms
of other years about the "saturation
point" in automobile production, the
Alexander Hamilton Institute ventures
to announce the saturation point now
close at hand. Barring radical changes
in economic and social conditions, this
factor makes production forecasts
matter of simple computation.
A glance at the declining ratio OF
persons per car shows that the rate
of decline Is coming to standstill.

BOND PRICES MOVE
IN NARROW RANGE
Prime Group Shows Firm Un-

Mild Recovery.
By DONALD c. BOLLES,

NEW YORK, August 9.--The bond
market was sluggish today and corpora
ton issues which have found a ready
demand moved within narrow range
There was no indication of resump-
ton of the forward movement which
continued uninterrupted throughout the
week until yesterday when the averages
showed a small recession.
Prime investment issues showed a
firm undertone. Some selling at small
fraction under the previous close offset
advances made by other issues in the
railroad and utility groups and prices
held steady. The foreign market was
firm with leading European govern
ments creeping forward.
Liquidation of convertihles which be-
came pronounced yesterday in sympathy
with the collapse of share prices was
checked and a mild recovery appeared.
United States Governments were dor
mant Only a few issues of the group
attracted any sales.

The trend indicates 44s persons per
car registered In 1881 and 443 in 1882.
On this basis the normal expectation
for production in 1880 is 100000

compared with the record of $4,000
cars in 1929.

tant. Scientifically, the Veniaminof crater. likewise about 20 miles in circumference on it's rim and 100 miles circumference at it's base, was the most interesting, but ranks as the toughest trip 1 have taken in Alaska.
 "Mosquitos, swamps, rivers, brush, heavy packs and hard going, made life just one damp one damn thing after another, and when four thou sand foot cliffs from the crater rim defied every assault we made dur ing two weeks of climbing, we fear ed that we would have to return to civilization licked at last. In last attempt, the young men, loyal and willing through every hardship, fol- lowed me night and day around to the Bering Sea side and one night as we stayed out the hours of dark ness at the base of a glacier, we said our Rosary to the Queen of Heaven to invoke her help for the following day. Morning dawned clear and cold, and by noon we were looking into Veniaminof crater, S,400 feet high and probably the only crater glacier in the world. Though vol cano, it was a glacier, filling the 25 square miles of crater floor and going down along the volcano's sides in tongues many miles long. Strange though it may seem, the most remarkable feature was a cone rising from the surrounding ice, smoking and ejecting ashes from it's top"
 At the request of local friends, Father Hubbard consented to show his motion pictures of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and has pre- pared stereoptican slides of the huge craters explored this summer. The lecture will be at the Palace Theatre and will be the first and only public showing of this wonder full scenic material. Stroller's Weekly

When one looks at the moon through a telescope, the most lm- presslYe features oI our nearest ce- lestiaI neighpor are the huge era ters that dot it's surface. If we couId reverse positions the surface features or our .earth that would stand out so prominently as to eclipse all else would be Alaska two newly explored craters, Anlak- cnak and Neniamlnot. Such is the startling news that AlasKa's own explorer, the sturdy, fearless "GIa- cier Priest brings back to clviliza- ton after spending two and half months in the heart of the Alaska Peninsula.
 In an interview to the Stroller Weekly, Father Bernard k. Hub- bard, $. J., who is stopping with trends at St. Ann hospital for a few days, relates the following:
 The courtesy ot the Alaska Pack CTS Association allowed my party ot husky athletes, Rod and Kenneth Chisholm, James Barron and Charles Bartlett, to leave San Francisco on May 10th on the steamer Chlrlko1 bound tor Bristol Bay. Putting us otf at Chlgnlk, further courtesies oI transportalIon placed us ln Anlak- chak Bay, where the run of the sum- mer began. We started up the un- charted Aniakchak River with a dory and outboard motor, and alter proceeding sixteen miles inland, lelt our boat and started the long trek to the distant mountains that hid the largest crater in the world. This crater was discovered by the famous topographic engineer, R. Il. Sar- zion was written by Messrs. Smith and Knappers of the Geodetic Sur vey party.
 Only a few hours were spent in this crater by it's discoVerers, but their maps and notes were of the greatest assistance to our more lengthy explorations.
 As usual, our food supplies were the lightest and easiest part of our equipment, but when cameras and photographic material were loaded on, each one of us felt like the don key that needed a fire kindled under him to induce him to start.

This was a welcome addition to our otherwise coarse food and quite contrast with the previous summer in the katmai region, where the destruction was so great as to render particularly the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, lifeless desert.
 Tt took us five days under pack to get to the base of our new won der crater. Camping at the Gates, a break in the 2,000-foot walls that allows a river to rush forth in a series of rapids, we waited a good day and moved camp inside the vol cano. There we spent the next two weeks during which we had ten days of uninterrupted sunshine and every day brought new wonders to our eyes and our cameras. A majestic Vent mountain rises inside the 20- mile circumference of the 3,000-foot rim ot Aniakchak to a height that makes 1t equal to Yesuvius. Gulls and other sea birds dart upon un- wary fish in a two and one-half mile long lake at one side of the crater, and a bear trail with tracks a foot deep around the lake shows that 1t has been the undisturbed sanctu- ary of huge brown bears for years. Lava cones, cinder cones the size and shape of football coliseums, ex- plosion pits in the crater floor, and miles of fantastic lava flow fill the crater part of the 30 mile area in- side the rim.
 ''Soda-iron springs near the head of the lake give wonderfully fine
 
 mineral waters. The coloring of the stupendous walls rival the Grand Canyon and the added feature of glaciers hanging on them brings out the fiery colors ill vivid contrast. Our chief discovery was that the crater is active, having smokes like those in the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes, pouring out in several places. The bear trails lead to the mineral springs and likewise we found places where the big animals dug holes in the warm mud to lie down ill and take Turkish baths!
 With few thousand feet of movies and thousand photographs, we regretfully called close to our explorations and set off for our second and more arduous conquest of Veniaminof crater, 80 miles dis
