Haney Scohs at Proposal
To Tilt Steel Prices

ished steel have not been tested
by any actual buying" Also
many consumers have all they
want through June, which is
quite a way ahead.
Labor Costs Cut
AS to the general position, we
note. first, that the raw mate
rialS and labor for making steel
are much reduced in price.
Pig iron is at bottom levels and
the market is weak. May ship
ments are believed to be running
under April figures. Competition
is severe and some resale iron has
come on the market at points.
Imports continue to be a factor
in the East.
Steel scrap is lower in Detroit
and is weak in all markets.
Coke markets are weak, and
furnace coke at Chicago has re-
Gently gone lower.
In the second place, the demand
for finished steel is low. Current
reports show that buyers do not
have much interest in anticipating
requirements. Inquiries for the
third quarter are few and small.
Demand Is Slim
Above all, analysis Of the con-
ditions in the chief consuming in
dustries shows no prospects Of
early improvement. About the
only automobile business is for
light cars (Which take relatively
little teeD, and even here sales
are very backward for the season.
The railways, with their small
and declining traffic and accumu.
lating surplus equipment, are in
no position to buy. Nor are they
buying.

COTTON EASIER.
IN MODEST
TRADING

NEW YORK, May % dN.S).
An easier tone developed in
cotton futures today, but con.
tracts held within a few points
Of the previous close.
With Liverpool slightly above
due prices, cotton on the first
call sold 2 to 3 points higher.
Shortly after the opening small
amount of selling credited to
Liverpool reduced the market
below the previous close and
uncovered a few stop orders.
Volume Limited
Trading was in limited volume.
Liverpool and the Continent sold
near months. Southern interests
sold in small way. Hedges were
negligible. Local professionals
also sold. Spot firms and the
trade bought near months.
Offerings in the distant months
were absorbed mostly by Wall
Street and commission houses.
A leading cotton firm as Of
May 23 forecast the area planted
to cotton at 37,797, 900 acres, or a
reduction Of 80 per cent from
the Governments revised figure
Of Al 1,189, 900 acres in cultivation
on July /, 1881.
Visible Supply Lower
The world visible supply of
American cotton is now 7,643 900
bales, against 7,752,C week
ago and 6,271 900 at this date last
year, the New York cotton ex.

What of the steel industry?
We hear some talk of proposals
to raise steel prices. Hopes are
expressed that the motor COM
panieS will buy more steel. Are
there any signs of turn for the
better?
A close examination of both
fundamental statistics and care
full reports from Steel-prOduCing
centerS affords no basis for Op-
timism. In no respect do I find
signs of real improvements In
the outlook for this basic indus
try.
Talk "OId Stuff"
This talk of higher steel prices
for the third quarter is old stuff
just the usual attempt to Dol
Ster prices against the buyers de-
mandS for reductions. AS at other
similar periods in the last year
or two, it can be said that steel
makers will be more than salts

declines.
It is true that some steel prod

tain any advance, even on this
loW-priced item.
Can't Stand Gaff
Neither the automobile, nor the
steel furniture. nor the building
trades, are able to pay higher
prices. When it is reported that
further commitments are badly
needed by some plants" what
chance is there that the steel
sheet makers can enforce a
mark-up?
The proposed markup in the
Semi-finiShed steel (billets and
sheet bars) is. 1 think, either a
bluff, or is a deliberate attempt
to run out of business the smaller
companies which do not produce
their own Semi.finiShed steel.

COARSE YARN FIRM

NEW YORK, May 2S Q.N.s.).-The
coarse yarn cloths market today was
perceptibly firmer. and there was some
evidence that selling pressure had

moderate, and there was substantial
business in the air which was refused
because mills were unwilling to sell
future deliveries. There was a general

belief that continuance of buying even

Raise Your Resistance Against Germs

eases ever will be controlled until
cause Of the disease is known.
The best step that the average
person can take to prevent infec-
tious disease is first of all to raise
his individual resistance by prac-
ticing the best possible personal
hygiene.
This means suitable diet, securing
of sufficient exercise and sunlight,
and enough rest to give the tissues
of the body opportunity to re-
cuperate from fatigue.
Moreover, in the presence of
certain infectious diseases, it is
possible to aid resistance by in
jecting the human being either with
blood that has resistance, such as
the blood from a person who has
recoved from the disease, or by in
jecting Serums from an animal
which has been infected with the
disease and which has in its serum
substances opposed to the disease.
There are available today con-
siderable number Of such specific
preventive SerunS and vaccineS,
which will be discussed under each
of the infectious diseases as it is
considered in these columns.
