Warning that a summary of rail-

Calvin Coolidge to concentrate
its energies on developing general

CLOTHS STEADY

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S U.N.s).-The
coarse yarn clothes market, with minor
exceptions, held steady today in the
face of a very general lack of interest
on the part OF buyers. Buyers and
sellers alike appeared to be holding up
operations pending word from Spartan.

case unsold goods coming off looms
during the remainder of the year are

under little pressure to sell. The better
business at the close of last week was
cited as an encoura cement to mills,
and as evidence that a few days Of
dullness do not necessarily mean an
undue accumulation of stock.

OUTPUT
DECLINE FOR
STEEL

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 UNs0.
Steel ingot production for the
country as whole has slipped
slightly this week to 10 per cent
Of capacity, according to the
Weekly Iron kge review released
today. Output in some districts
has declined, while in others there
has been a gain.
Cleveland output is UP three
points to 38 per cent of ingot ca.
pacity. The Wheeling district is
operating at 40 per cent, mostly
on anticipatory' tin plate rollings,
and the Buffalo mills are also do
ing better.
Birmingham Shrink Heavy
However. Birmingham produc.
ton has dropped to 10 per cent.
Declines of smaller proportions
have occurred at Chicago and in
the youngstown area, while the
Pittsburgh mills are barely hold
ing their recent average Of II
per cent.
New business in steel products
has continue, to decline in nearly
all markets except Cleveland.
where automotive requirements
are paramount. Caution among
buyers has not been altered even
with the election uncertainty out
Of the way. On the contrary. the
placing of some tonnage under
consideration before the election
has been indefinitely postponed.
. To what extent the apathy Of
steel buyers is due to political un.
certainty and how much to nat.
ural year-end tendencies toward
restriction o: stocks is difficult to
determine.
Auto Gains Scattered
The automobile industry is the
one major Steel-consuming chan
mel pushing ahead with some de-
gree Of aggressiveness, but even
here activity is largely confined
to few companies, notably
Chevrolet and Plymouth.
November car production is eX-
pected to exceed the estimated
50,270 units of october by a
fairly good margin. Automobile
acce ssory manufacturers are
placing orders more freely for
strip steel. A Philadelphia body
builder has received large con-
tracts for car bodies
Railroads are slow to enter
steel orders. Only one new rail
contract has been placed, 5000
tons for the Delaware and Hud-
son.
Little Construction
In the construction field, there
is the usual year-end letdown,
Notwithstanding the efforts of
the Washington administration
to push building work for aid of
the unemployed. Structural steel
lettings in the week were only
$500 tons, a small total even
though it was more than double
that of the preceding week.
The decline in Steel-making
activity at Chicago has affected
heavy melting steel scrap, the
minimum price Of which is Csc
ton lower. Bringing the Iron Age
scrap composite down to $7.46.
Nearly all grades have declined
at Detroit and at Pittsburgh
there is a tendency toward weak.
