EXPORTS OF STEEL
IN SHARP DECLINE
Imports Also Lower in Au-

Department Report.

Steel corporations, which placed into
effect on october /, wage reductions

ployes. were hard hit in foreign trade
during August. according to a Com
merce Departments report made public
yesterday on the volume OF foreign
trade in iron and steel products.
In the report compiled by Joseph w.
Palmer Of the iron and steel division of
the department. declines were recorded
in both the export and imports trade in
the United States in these products dur
ing the month. Exports, totaling 1888
gross tons. were 1l.128 tons less than
those during July, while imports were
1851 less and totaled only 30,139 tons,
the report stated.
On the daily average exports were
1896 tons and imports 972 tons, against
2.725 tons and 1899 tons, respectively,
in July.
Twenty-seven OF the IS classes of
products included in this export trade,
Palmer said. showed reduced shipments
in August, against 18 increases and one
instance in which the trade remained
stationary at 800 tons in each month.
In general, he said, Doth increases ana
decreases were in small amountS-the
only noteworthy gain being that in
slack steel sheets.
Shipments to Europe and Africa were
greater in August than in July, accord
ing to Palmer's report. but those to all
other countries we're less. Trade with
the countries Of North and Central
America and the west Indies, however,
took in all 48.6 per cent of the August
shipments, while those to South Amer
lea accounted for 1875 per cent. The
increased trade with Europe required

that with Africa % per cent.

GRADUAL PRICE IMPROVEMENT
FORECAST BY DR.. DAVID FRIDAY
Recovery Believed Near by
Washington Economist, Who
RidicuIes PeSsimiStic Talk.
Sees Decline in Interest
Rates and AcceIeration of
Suburban Home Building.

The United States has witnessed q
typical price revolution gcing up from
1896 to 1920 and downward since then"
said DR.. David Friday. nationally known
economist and SatiStician of Washing
ton. at the convention Of the Michigan
Building and Loan League. He en-
phasized further that 1.-The attempts Of
various movements and commodity pools
all over the world and in the United
States to stabilize prices" are the major
causes Of the present business situation.
DR.. Friday said that the next change
in prices would be upward, but that
taking the next 10 years together, the
drift would be toward lower prices; ac-
companied, nevertheless, by q period of
prosperity, just as the years from 1924
to 1929 were prosperous, although prices
we're falling slowly then. He indicated
that recovery was at hand and illus
trated the absurdity of pessimistic atti-
tudes of business and financial leaders
by quotations taken from their address,
es in late 1921, just before the last bust
ness recovery.
In analyzing the effect Of this price
revolution on building and loan asSocia-
tons, DR.. Friday pointed out that it has
been the trying period for many finan-
ciar institutions which had been need
leSsly created by too much mixing Of
investment for savings, finance and
commercial banking.

COPPER PRODUCERS
PLAN CURTA|LMENT
World Farley to Be Held.
Plea for Tariff on Metal
Prepared.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 3.-Indications
that discussions for further curtailment
in copper output will be in progress
before the end of the month we're seen
today in reports that all of the i'm
portant in reports that all of the i'm
will send representatives to New York.
The trade interpreted the reported
coming to New York of representatives
Of Rio Tinto, Katanga and Northern
Rhodesian producers as indicating
finally a real willingness to cooperate
in finding a lasting solution of the
problem OF overproduction that has
haraSsed the industry for the last two
years
Continuance of overproduction is
estimated in trade circles already to
have cost the industry between 500
100000 and S30,000,000, on the assump-
ton that the price of copper could have
been stopped in its drop either between
III and II cents a pound, or between
II and Is cents.
1t was said that solution of the prob
lem of overproduction will be either
voluntary curtailment of output, with
complete shutdown of most of the
6ENSTdI
months to be followed by resumption
at rate low enough to permit fairly
rapid reduction of stocks, or else there
will be a determined drive by United
States producers for copper tariff.
Domestic leaders in the industry were
said to be confident they could obtain
support OF most of the large consumers
Of the metal in a plea for a high pro-
tective tariff, on the basis that a flex-
ible tariff would go far to effect a stable
price. They believe fabricators would
even prefer to pay more for copper if
price stability were assured. rather than
take chances on obtaining metal for
less in a market f1uctuating as uncer-
tainly as the present one.
1t was reported that meetings already
have been held as to the best way to
hasten tariff action, and charts and
statistics are being prepared for presen-
tation to the United States Tariff Com
mission at its hearing late this month.
The tariff hearings are scheduled to
open soon after the producers confer
ence starts.

NEW YORK, october 3.-Indiscrim-
mate use of the term bear raid" by
stock exchange houses in their market
circulars has been frcwned upon by the
Business Conduct Committee of the
stock exchange.
No oficisl announcement was forth
coming from the exchange, but it was
learned that at least one brokerage
house had been advised that in the
future its executives must be prepared
to subStantiate statements ascribing
movements in stocks and bonds to bear
raids"
The exchange confirmed the report
that the letter had been sent, but made
no explanation. In brokerage circles
1t was interpreted as move to dis
courage comments that may be based
on nothing more than gossip. Market
commentators frequently take it for
granted, in the absence Of other ex-
plantations for decline in stocks, that
bear raiders are responsible.
1t Is understood that exchange au-
thorities do not believe that short SELL
ing has assumed the proportions or
caused the damage attributed to it by
many persons, some in public life, and
have for some time deprecated the use
Of the term bear raid" believing that
often there is no basis for the suspicion
that such a maneuver is going to break
the market.
The stock exchange has kept close
scrutiny of short selling operations for
several months and on September 81,
