TORONTO, March 12-In spite of
the low prices of farm produce, a back

successfully in Canada. Most of the

Canadians crossed the border to their
nome country last year, while 81 sos

French-Canadian repatriates being set
tied on the land.
During the last IA months approx
mately $4,000 persons have been taken
from industrial centers, where employ
ment was declining and have been
placed on farms. In Manitoba this
movement Of the unemployed to farms
has been part of the government re-
lief scheme. In Quebec the provin-
clal government is making a plan to
repurchase farm lands sold for mu-
nlclpal taxes and to place on them
families who are anxious to return
from urban centers to the country.
In Nova Scotia plans are on foot for
the establishment of unemployed coal
miners on the land.

INCREASE IN STEEL
OPERATIONS NOTED
Average Daily Tonnage Out
put Is Gradually Work
ing Higher.

PITTSBURGH, March 12.-SteeI
production is gradually working its way
upward.
Comparing average tonnage output
per working day there was IL per cent
increase from December to January
and per cent further increase for
February. March may be counted on
to show higher rate still, as thus
far there is a slight gain over the
February rate. and heavier production
is expected toward the close of the
month from automobile trade and
other influences.
The increases are much smaller than
those that have occurred at this time
In past years, regarded as seasonal in
creases, but that is in line with steel
trade expectations. 1t was thought
that with such a very conservative
spirit everywhere present buyers all
down the line would make commit
meuts less early than usual, the infiu-
ence Of weather being slow to be felt.
The steel trades chief disappoint-
ment is the poor showing to date of
the automobile industry, which last
October was supposed to be going
through its poorest month, with prom
ise Of continuous and large increases
In production. Instead, November was
still lighter, and while December and
January did better, the preliminary re-
port for February shows a decrease
again. The steel trade still expects
much more automobile production in
the next few months than in the last
flve, which showed a monthly average
OF only 100000 cars and trucks, United
States and Canada.
The Steel Corporations untitled ton
mage decreased by 1o2,521 tons last
month, and this looks unfavorable. but
history shows that February untitled
tonnage changes have not foreshad-
owed the course of affairs. In 1923
February showed large increase, but
the year ended very poorly. In 1924
there was moderate increase and
steel production had a terrific decrease
to July. In 1925 there was a large
loss, but the year proved to be a very
good one.
AS far as time has permitted 1t to
be So the steel price stabilization move
ment inaugurated over a month ago is
a success. The slightly advanced prices
are being universally quoted on new
business, and where orders have lately
been accepted at lower figures this has
been against old commitments or quo
tations. There have been actual sales
at the advanced prices and there ap-
pears to be no actual cutting at the
present time.

BETTER DEMAND SEEN
FOR CORN PRODUCTS

While current consumption of refined
corn products is running about 10 per
cent behind last years figures and about
% per cent under the record total of
1929, there are indications, according to
the Corn Industries Research Founda-
ton, that stocks Of these products in
consumers hands are at the lowest
levels since the depression began.
Practically all current orders re-
ceived by corn reflners for starches,

COPPER PRODUCERS
TO REDUCE OUTPUT
Industry Hopes for Price Sta.
biIization Through Cut
in Production.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.
Special Dispatch to The stor

Special Dispatch to The Stor
NEW YORK, March 12.-Domestic
copper interests today hailed the new
curtailment agreement, announced by
representatives of the worlds leading
copper companies, as offering a pro-
gram which should stabilize the in
dustry for some time. BY many il
was regarded as marking a definite
turn for the better.
A result of conferences here last
ing more than a month, the leading
copper producers have agreed, effec-
tive April /, to hold to an operating
rate of 20 per cent of capacity, COM
pared with 26l2 per cent at present
This will decrease the monthly
world output of copper from $4,000
tons to between $1,000 and 10000 tons
1t is expected to bring production
below the present rate of consump-
ton, the net result of which would
be a reduction of surplus stocks now
burdening the industry.
At the same time the foreign and
domestic copper interests agreed that
foreign sales would continue to be
made through Copper Exporters, Inc.
the cooperative selling organization
which recently has been somewhat dis
rupted by dissension over marketing
arrangements.
The copper market, weak for several
days, frmed up on the announcement
In the last six months the red metal
has been selling at the lowest prices
ever recorded, prices being below pro-
duction costs of most companies.
Cutting production to 20 per cent
of capacity is expected to result in
the closing of most American mines in
the Summer months. Producers said
it would be better to close down en-
tirely for about six months in the
year and operate at about 40 per cent
Of capacity during the other six
months. Several American companies
followed this plan last Summer.
Approximately 10000 tons of the
worlds monthly production of $4,000
is accounted for by companies that
were not represented at the confer
ences here. Some of these are small
independent units and others are in
Japan and Canada. Canadian pro-
ducers that have a large gold content
in their ore would be under a hard
ship, it was pointed out, If they re-
duced output drastically.

This is the lowest since last Summer,
when an advance was compelled by
the crisis in Germany. An even more
sensational incident was the rise in
sterling to a level so cents in the
pound above the low point reached
some months ago. Though this was
deprecated by English bankers and
was short Lived, it was another express
sion of the faith that exists in the
ability Of Great Britain to recover her
banking prestige and, eventually, to
restore sterling to a level permitting
her to trade on equal terms with the
rest of the world. The chancellor of
the exchequer this week expressed sat-
isfaction over the banking measures
adopted by this country which, he be-
lieves. will be beneficial not only to
the United States. but to the whole
