NEW CAS- PRICE
GUT REPORTED

CAMDEN, N. j., Oct. 17.-Addi-
tional price cuts of / cent a gal
lon on gasoline we're announced
yesterday by the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, effective
at Camden and in northern New
Jersey.
At the same time there we're
strong indications that revision of
the oil code is under consideration
by the Federal Government.
The retail price of the fuel at
Camden is now 6 cents, a reduc-
ton of some 5 cents since the
price war opened recently. The
price at Newark is 8.4 cents a gal
lon. Both of these prices are ex.
elusive of cents a gallon in taxes.
The difference of "a cents be-
tween the Newark and Camden
prices was said to be the result
largely of more intense competi-
ton at the latter city than in the
former.
The official tank car price at
Newark is cents, but reports
were current yesterday that some
sales had been made as low as a.
cents a gallon in lots of 10000
gallons or more delivered by tank
wagon. Such delivery usually
makes the price higher than the
tank car quotation.
The extent to which price cut
ting has extended is shown also
by the fact that gasoline in New
orleans is being sold to the filling
stations for cents a gallon. The
margin of t 2 retailer is cents
a gallon and the taxes there
amount to another 4 cents, max
ing the total cost to the consumer
10 cents.
Reductions of 1 cent a gallon
were made also at Richmond and
Baltimore, the fourth cut in five
days. Price cuts at the latter city
since last Thursday amount to 81
cents.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
administrator of the oil code, an
nounced yesterday a new drive
against "hot oil" producers. This
news was regarded as a supreme
effort on the part of the Govern
ment to buttress its enforcement
of the code. -

CLOUDS
REMOVED BUT
ATEDROPS

Steel production has suffered a
setback, declining from 241a to
23la per cent of capacity. The
recession is apparently an after.
math of uncertainties regarding
administrator policies which have
now been largely removed.
The atmosphere has been
cleared of much doubt and con-
fusion not only by the growing
tone of conservatism manifested
by the new MIRA as it attempts
to get its bearings, but more
especially by the unequivocal
assurance of Donald Richberg
that no changes in the price
provisions of the steel code are
contemplated. His emphasis on
the need for stability in the steel
industry was timely in view of
the close relationship that exists
between price levels and wage
rates.
Even though the danger Of
price decentralization now seems
to have been forestalled, it is a
question how long present wages
can be maintained if business
volume does not increase. Greater
confidence, now seemingly in the
making, may, of course, provide
the needed impetus to tagging
enterprise.
Sentiment Better
Pending the translation OF
better sentiment into greater de-
mand, the iron and steel market
remains lethargic. Steel bookings
from the automotive industry
have sunk to one of the lowest
levels of the year. Virtually the
only sign of betterment is the
release of inquiries for stampings
for new models, which may
shortly result in orders for sheets
and strip steel.
Ford has resumed operations
on a five-day basis. but auto.
mobile output for the month will
probably not exceed 10000 units
and November gives promise Of
little, if any, improvement. The
steel trade still clings to the
hope. however, that substantial
buving of steel for new models
will develop by the end OF this
month.
An earlier and sharper stimulus
to buying is more likely to result
from the exhaustion of Specula-
tive inventories accumulated by
consumers in the second quarter.
With the apparent removal Of in
centives to wait out the market,
buyers are counted on to replenish
their stocks more freely and evil
dences of a nascent restocking |
movement are seen in a growing
diversification of orders.
Rails Cutting Costs
Most railroads are curtailing
their expenditures, but a number
of Western roads are preparing
rail specifications, which sug-
gests that another Government |
sponsored rail buying program is
being launched. The reequipment
of 100000 freight cars with a.
new type Of air brake over a pc
Rod of 10 years promises to ben
eft foundries, as well as bolt and
nut makers.
Scrap markets are without |
trend and The Iron Age composite
price for heavy melting steel re-
mains unchanged at $3.50 a ton
for the fourth week. The Iron
Age composites for finished steel
and pig iron are also unaltered
at 2.124 cents a pound and $3.50
ton respectively. Bolts, which |
are not under a code, have weak
ened again and are now quoted at
10, 10, 10 and 10 per cent off list.
