BUYERS
CAUTION

The effects Of the policy OF ex-
treme caution now prevalent
among all buyers is still being
shown in the aggregate steel uusi-
ness Of the past week, according to
Iron Age, which, in its weekly re-
view Of the steel trade, says:
With further decline reported in
scrap prices and in ingOt output,
the immediate outlook in the iron
and steel industry lacks promise.
Reductions in old material prices
have been general, affecting yir-
tually all items listed, with heavy
melting scrap. the key grade, off
81 . ton at Philadelphia, soc ct
Detroit and Csc ct Pittsburgh and
st. Louis. The Iron Age composite
price for heavy melting steel, at
$12.2 rs q gross ton, is at the lowest
level since 1921. -
Steel ingot production, reflect
ing seasonal contraction in tin
plate and pipe output and the ab-
Sence Of expected autumnal inn
provement in other lines, has re-
ceded to so per cent Of capacity,
compared with So per cent a week
ago. But with structural steel de-
mand Holding up fairly well and
with a moderate amount Of rail
road business developing, 1t is pos
sible that the present rate Of op-
erationS viii prove the low for
1920, barring year-end curtailment.
Rail orders include $4,000 tons
placed by the Baltimore &c Ohio
and $4,000 tons bought by the
Chicago and Northwestern. The
latter road also renewed $1,000
tons that had not been specified
in its expiring contract.
To obtain further tonnage to
offset losses in business from
other directions steel producers
are pressing the railroads to
place orders for cars and loco.
motives. 1T is said that such buy
ing can be stimulated II arrange
ments can be made to finance
contracts to their full amount.
Normally. equipment trust certif-
icates cover only 30 per cent OF
the purchase price, the remain
ing 20 per cent being paid in
cash. =
New structural steel projects,
at $1,000 tons, are the largest
since the first week of Septem-
ber. Awards are considerably
above average, totaing 10000
tons q week ago.
The Iron Age composite prices
on pig iron and finished steel
are unchanged at $l0.2S q gross
ton for the former and 2.f3c O
pound for the latter.

IN REACTION
Ry w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 30 Q.NSD.
All sections Of the stock market
we're carried down to a lower level
of prices today, in moderate sell
ing wave which appeared to be
the continuation of Wednesdays
final reaction. Losses were most
severe in few of the high-priced
specialtieS, ike Coca Cola, which
dropped off more than 10 points
to 1894, but the rank and file Of
industrial and utility stocks
dipped to the low price ranges Of
the week.
Disappointment over the .tardi-
ness Of the business recovery and
a further reaction in commodity
prices were cited as the main rea-
sons for fresh decline in prices.
The bears without doubt had a
hand in the transactions. as was
evident from the pounding Of
the leading shares. United States
Steel at 145Ts was down nearly 5
points from yesterdays best price
and 21a from the previous close,
American Can was off 11s and
Westinghouse down lH. Gold
Dust lost 3 points and Allied
Chemical 51a. Consolidated Gas
led the reaction in the utilities
and sold down nearly 2 points ct.

BY LESLIE GOULD,

Here's the way the conservative
element In Wall Street look at the
present situation:
Business in general is taking the
correct steps to right itself.
Artificial means to stimulate
the market and business will do
more harm than 0ood.
Commodity prices are about
humping on bottom, although in
two or three cases lower. prices
are looked for.
There win be no immediate
boom in the stock market.
This Is. q long-pull investors
stock market and not q Spceuls.
tors market like the one Of tbs
last three years.
The stock market has about
touched bottom, but the recovery
is likely to be slow.
That this country and the whVls
world got into its present trouble
through oVerpr0duCttOn, that no
buying Of $500, 900, 600 Govern
ment bonds by the Federal Re-
serve Bank will correct this.
What the country needs most,
one Of Wall Streets leading
bankers told me. is an aggressive
leader.
A clue to where the selling in
the stock market has been com
ing from is furnished by the Fed
eral Reserve Boards report on
its member banks.
Direct bank loans on stocks and
bonds in the twelve Federal Re
serve districts dropped $116, ,0e0, ,00O
in the week ended October ~.
The drop in the New York
district was 500, 900. Boston
accounted for $4,000, 600, Chicago
50, 900, 600, and Kansas City
S6.O00.0 900.
This bears out reports hanks
have been cleaning out their loan
accounts, many Of which they
have been carrying since the
break of last November. These
loans are made directly to indi-
viduals by the banks and the
total is not included in the
Reserve Boards statement on
loans to brokers and dealers
which comes out every Thursday
after the close Of the market.
The Reserve banks have added
$51, ,000, 900 in Government secur,
tiles to their portfolios in the
last week. This brings the total
Government bond holdings Of the
IL Federal Reserve hanks to $e5S,
029. 600. This is an increase of
$517, 1926, 900 since October "a,
1929, when the total holdings
were only 5,704.00o.
This Is just what T. B. Macau-
ley, president Of the Sun Life
Assurance Co., Canada, is advo.

 MT. Stevens was one of the first pupils of the Wright brothers, pay ing $5 per lesson. He bought an airplane and flew it, but one day he lent it to friend. who flew it into tree and smashed if. after which the linguist flew no more.
 He lives alone on d secluded 33- acre farm in nearby Maryland, which he has named "Pawpungle Wilds" He hasn't eaten any meat for 10 years and he eats no bread or fats. Instead he makes delicious conservcs from wild fruits and d substitute for bread from various cereals which he flavors with es- sential oils. He chose his land be- cause of an abundance of pawpaw trees thereon. Although he forages through the woods for fruits and nuts he also raises exquisite melons. Eating off his own farm and mak- ing his own bread. he keeps living expenses down 10 minimum

 Once he spent 15 years in devis- ing a universal language called Ufono. Then he decided it wasn't good enough and he threw away the whole thing. with it's elaborate framework and immense yocabu- lary.
 He has invented an entirely new alphabet to carry the language which he has most recently devel- oped. In our own alphabet, the name of that language sounds most like 'Ihoeylong, with the last syllable accented. That means Pretty eye" in English, the name of the pet Woodthrust which partially inspired him in developing the new universal language.

 At the moment he confesses be- ing stumped by a letter written to the White House in an East Indian dialect. So is everyone else in the translating bureau.
 He says it's really difficult for him to learn q language. In do- ing so he reads books and newspa- pers printed in the language he is studying, extracting root words and cataloguing them on large sheets of foolscap paper until he has indexed the main elements of the language Naturally. he has an amazingly good memory; he is also probably one of the worlds most expert phoneticists
 Chinese is the most perfect of all languages, according 10 Stevens, and 'Zhoey-long' is based principally on Chinese. The Stevens language is one of monosyllables and is sung rather than talked. 1t has four reg isters, each with three tones-a to- tai of , tones, which is three more than the nine u@ed by the Cantonese. Upper tones are verbs, middle tones adjectives and lower tones nouns.
