Special Dispatch to The Star.

CLEVELAND, August 14-Increas-
ing pessimism regarding early effec-
tiveness Of the N. R. A. program, re-
lieved to some extent by settlement of
the coal strike, has not been reflected
as yet in iron and steel demand, which
continues to support steelworks opera
tions at 81 per cent, states the maga
zine Steel
Though this demand mainly repre-
sents requirements specified late last
month in advance of price increases,
business is holding up much better than
usual SO far this Summer, and steel
makers expect new buying to be con-
siderably larger in the last han of the
month than in the first. Consump-
tion in certain lines of finished prod
ucts, notably sheets, tin plate and wire,
is displaying remarkable vitality.
"A % per cent gain in steel ingot
production in July lifted the daily
avrage to 128l52 gross tons, highest

only is contrary to the customary sea-

HARD TIMES FELT
BY BRITISH BANKS.
Leanest Period in History
Laid to Stagnation of
World Trade.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreS.
Reports to the Federal Reserve Board
state that British banks experienced the
leanest period in their history during
the six months ended with June 30.
All previous records for monetary
cheapness were broken during the
period, it was said, with the institutions
inundated with more money than they
have ever had with virtually no employ
ment for 1t. Because of this lack Of
opportunity for lending in normal bank
ing business they were compelled 20 in
crease their holdings of investments.
The proportion of deposits invested
in securities by the 10 London clearing
banks stood at 27.5 per cent at the end
of the six months. compared with 1913
per cent year ago and with i62 per
cent two years ago.
No mystery was said TO surround the
causes Of this lean period for bankers.
They are broadly the same as in pre-
vious periods Of trade depression and
monetary cheapness, the only differ
ences lying IN their magnitude and
intensity.
Briefly. the causes were said TO be
the effects Of the growth in econ omic
nationalism, the collapse of the ma
chinery Of international credit due to
excessive debts left BY the war, and
the diSequilibrium. financial, CONNER
clal and economic resulting from that
catastrophe.
World trade has shrunk enormously
in spite OF the great increase in pro-
ductivity. because Of the breakdown of
the international monetary system by
which the surplus products of the ma
tions are distributed The machinery
for making international loans, having
ceased to function, provided further
cause, the report said. In its stead was
found a standstill arrangement, ex-
change restrictions. quotas, and all the
other paraphernalia Of economic stag
nation.

A definite improvement In business
conditions In September was forecast
today by the Lumber Survey Commit

ber Conservation Corps.
September will probably show
marked improvement over last year and
the early months Of 1888, continuing
the start made in June and July toward
a genuine upturn in industry, building
and general business conditions" the
committee said.
1.-The lumber industry should con-
tinue efforts to adjust its production
and its stocks to current consumption
and not to uncertain future prospects;
to improve the manufacturing and mar
keting of its products and to promote
and extend their uses"
A reduction of $500, 100000 feet in
lumber stocks for the third quarter Of
the current year was recommended by
the committee.
It pointed out that lumber stocks
have been reduced four billion feet since
January /. 1882, and added that after
drastic reduction substantial revival
in use Of lumber Is indicated.
The committee said that striking in
creases in lumber prices have been re-
corded in the last three months which,
have gone far toward restoration OF
price levels that will avoid further
capital loss.
