 Steel news was distinctly not encouraging. despite a pick up in operations from 30 to 32 per cent of operating capacity for the indus try. This improvement followed shutdowns of some plants for in- ventory purposes and did not rep- resent increased demand. Tn fact, demand in most lines for steel fell off, especially the automobile in- dustry.
 Tinplate output dropped 5 per cent. refecting lighter operations of the can companies. This was promptly translated into excuses for selling American Can and Con- tinental Can and both issues broke sharply following the decline in steel shares.

lers, the purchaser eliminates
