Business Notes

NEW YORK, January 28.-Activity
in the New York market the first of
the week showed some gains but the
general tenor OF comment indicated
that advance Spring buying Is being
cautiously done. In explanation it was
asserted In some quarters that, while
the number Of buyers in New York is
approaching its peak. their initial sea-
son trips are being largely devoted to
canvasSing the situation and only Sec
ondsrtly to actual order placing.
Better ordering and inquiring con-
tinue to bolster optimism among deal
ers and manufacturers In the country's
machinery and machine-tool markets,
American MachinistS reports. Word
from the principal centers in the past
week represents prospects as being in
q more receptive frame of mind and
current tool business strengthens the
hope in trade circles that the industry
is in for better times. Used tools are
in more active demand.
Members of the Machinery Council
OF the Dairy and Ice Cream Machinery
and Supplies Association reported at
their annual meeting a noticeable i'm
provement in business this month, as
compared with January last year.
New offerings of novelty jewelry have
stimulated buying, and wholesalers in
New York look for an active Easter
business. Leading lines feature three
major types In harmony with both gar
ment styles and color trends.

NEW YORK, January 28.-The iron
ana steel industry has shown q further
slight gain in activity, although i'm

structural steel requirements remain

demand for iron and steel continues at
close range, with no indications Of a
movement to replenish inventories.
Upturn Gradual.
THE upturn in business since the
nrst OF the year has been disappoint-
ingly gradual, yet it Is realized that a
sudden rush OF orders, unsupported by
commensurate expansion of consumer
needs, would have raised false hopes.

ago. Operating rates we're unchanged

Stability of the steel price struc-
ture Is one of the most reassuring fea-
lures OF the market. While 1t is true
that there Is lack of tonnage business

buyers having covered for the quarter
