BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Although the
trend of steel production was slightly
higher for the first week in May as a
result of moderately improved buying
of automobile sheets, official figures for
April just released showed average pro-

the lowest since July, 1921.

Of miscellaneous orders. Buying by
railroads is restricted. Announcement
Of a IS per cent wage cut by large
steel corporations may lead buyers to
seek lower prices for products, it is
said. Pig iron production in April de-
clined 8.9 per cent from the March
average. Demand continues limited at
unchanged prices.
Copper remained dull, although an
easier undertone developed as metal be-
came available through a custom
smelter source at 55kc, while others
adhered to a nominal quotation of

to doing something useful.

that she had a-plenty. AS for himself,
wanted to work for works sake. His
philosophy was to work just enough to
provide the necessities of life and a few
luxuries. When Jean asked him one

mentioned ice cream sodaS and motion
pictures and could not understand why
she laughed.
They lived on West Tenth street, and
Jean, impelled by her anger, swung
along the blistering streets in uncom-
fortable haste to the subway, which she
took to Pennsylvania Station. All the
way to Long Beach she wondered fran
tically what she could do. She was not
going back to Jim tonight :. for the
first time she was afraid. Up to the
present she had treated him with more
or less contempt-a servant who had
miniStered to her father during his i'll
ness. Jim was a masseur and had come
each day to attend the sick man and
often remained to play cards and amuse
him. In the horror of her predicament,
which had grown out of this situation
Jean forgot Jims generosity.
She went to Long Beach every day
that she could obtain the fare. Not that
she liked the crowds, but it was in
finitely better than remaining at home
with Jim. Besides she was an expert
swimmer and loved the sport. Today,
