SHANGHAI TRADING
SHARPLY REDUCED
U. S. Commercial AttaChe
Reports Restrictions Placed
Upon Imported Goods.

The Commerce Department today
has been advised that all exports to
China from the United States and
other countries arriving at the port of
Shanghai are under the restriction of
being placed in bonded warehouses dur
ing the present emergency.
In a cabled report, Julean Arnold, the
departments commercial attache at
Shanghai, asserted that importers are
further embarrassed by the temporary
closing of the old-style Chinese banks,
making difficult the negotiation of ma
tive bank orders, which normally con-
stitutes the paper offered by Chinese
dealers in payment for goods accepted.
War risk insurance continues almost
prohibitive, Arnold further advised, and
banks are reluctant to accommodate
importers unless cargo is covered by
such insurance.
Decline in Customs Receipts.
Shanghai customs revenues during
January based on the former tariff
rates, show a decline of 40 per cent
from one year ago, he said.
The decrease for February is expect
ed to be greater, the attache asserted,
as the bulk of imports received thus far
during February is being stored in
bonded warehouses. Moreover, consld-
erable quantities of imports destined
for Shanghai are being withheld at
ports of shipment or discharged at
Hongkong or Kobe.
South China trading was reported by
Arnold as being quiet, with the Shang-
hal situation tending to restrict larger
transactions.
Manchuria trading continues low, he
added.
The department was also advised by
its Toxic attache, H. A.. Butts, that
Japan's foreign trade continues to be
hampered by the Chinese situation and
yen fluctuations. but domestic business
has been stimulated by rising prices.
Other cabled reports received by the
department today from all sections OF
the world are. in part, as follows: The
adverse balance of payment OF the
United Kingdom last year was estimat-
ed at 11O,000,000 pounds sterling, ex-
elusive of actual gold movements; a
small credit balance has been reported
for 1880 and a larger one for 1929;
the reduction of the Bank of England's
redisceunt rate last week is generally
regarded as indicating increased conf
dence in the country'S financial posi-
ton.
German Irade.
1.-THE decline in German foreign
trade continued during January, with
sharp fall in exports and smaller
drop in imports The outlook in Bel
gium has become less favorable, al
though there has been no definite
change.
I'm visible items which usually offset
the unfavorable balance Of Spanish
trade declined greatly last year, espe-
cially remittances from Spaniards
abroad. Egyptian foreign trade in De-
cember was smaller than year earlier
and the export surplus declined some
what.
Although the general situation is
little altered in Canada, some reports
are more encouraging and Government
estimates for Government expenditures
a decrease of about 10 per cent"

and emphasizes that stocks should
reflect rather than discount trade

A third group, mostly professional
until recently bears-beiieves that the
contraction of the short interest has
left the market in a weakened technical
condition, making it vulnerable to unt
expected adverse news. A fourth group,
which appears to be larger than tho
other three combined, is content 10 re%

NEW YORK, February 25.-With the
exception of United States Government
bonds and few selected domestic and
foreign issues, the investment market
was easier today. Trading was quiet.
The market opened with a firm tone.
the upward movement in Government
bonds continuing. This convinced Wall
Street that cut in the rediscount rate
was imminent and there was some sup
port for all types of bonds on the as
sumption that the rate cut would be
followed by a general upturn.
However, it was hard for the market
to ignore earnings reports of the rail-
roads just coming out, such as those of
the Texas g. Pacific and the st. Louis
San Francisco. In the former there was
a deficit of $80,165, after charges in
January, against surplus of $14,ll9
in January, 1881. In the ease OF the
Frisco the January deficit was Slips

in January, 1881.

STEEL PRODUCTION
. REPORTED LOWER
Mills Now Operating at rs
Per Cent of Capacity, SAYS
Trade Journal.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 25.-Steel in
got production declined another noint
this week to 26 per cent of the coI1n-
try's capacity, despite the obvious i'm
provement in business sentiment re-
sulting from Government efforts to
bring about economic recovery. saws the
Iron Age in its weekly review of the
iron and steel trade.
The sharpest drop in producing on
erations has occurred In the Wheeling
district, which is at 35 per cent of ca
pacity, against a recent rate of so per
cent. Only at Cleveland has there been
a gain and that is small.
Expectations of the steel industry
that belated seasonal rise of some
proportions will occur" states the re-
view, ARE borne out by announcements
of leading producers Of bars, plates and
shapes of So ton advance in prices
Of these. products effective on second
quarter business. This move follows
closely efforts Of the f1at-rolled branch
of the industry to stabilize prices of
sheets and strip steel with some grades
now firmly quoted at higher levels.
Failure of the steel industry to
maintain this month the rate of i'm
provement that occurred in January is
manifestly due in large part to the
caution of the automobile industry
pending public showing of new Ford
models. The effect of the recent Ford
announcement has been virtually to
paralyze sales in the low-price group
Meanwhile, steel orders from the
Ford Co. have not reached steel mills
in significant volume, while specifica-
tionS from other automobile companies
have declined. February automobile
output may be less than January, while
the March outlook will remain uncer-
tain until Ford schedules are known.
"A slow revival of buying interest
now apparent among railroads assumes
an Importance at time like this great
er than the actual tonnage that has
been placed. There are no new raj
orders Of Importance but the Milwau-
kee road will buy 10000 tons OF rails
and 1000 tons of accessories, and the
Alton will take 1000 tons OF rails. Or
even greater interest is the fact that the
Alton will dismantle 5000 freight cars,
l16 locomotives and 100 passenger
coaches.
The Wheeling g. Lake Erie is in

the Belt Line Railway Of Chicago has

has been observed in the railroad equip
nent field in many months.
