CLEVELAND, September pa
Slightly better demand from mis-
cellaneous manufacturing sources and
larger structural awards last week"
reports the magazine Steel, lifted the
steelworks operating rate two points
to 2212 per cent.
The publication said that while
buying is not brisk, steel makers con-
slider it as an indication of the wide
spread depletion of stocks, and of
moderate seasonal expansion in some
consuming industries.
Uncertainty over the iron and
steel price structure became more pro-
nounced last week, with open discus
sions regarding possibilities of ad-
justments, many users apparently
withholding commitments pending
further Qualification.
Prices have not been tested by
any broad buying movement for
several months.
specifications for a little material
for new automobile models are coming
out, but flll-in requirements for COM
pleting present models are larger. The
industry apparently will stagger the
introduction OF new models, and one
large interest probably will not have
its complete line on display until
April
The magazines weekly review said
structural awards for the week were
20,028 tons, nearly three times as
large as in the preceding week.
Due to the low rate of pig iron
production for several months Lake
Superior iron ore shipments are slow
ing up, and leading producers do not
now expect much more than 22,000,-
900 tons for the season, compared
with 21,60O,000 tons last year.
"Steels iron and steel composite is
down cent to S3213; the finished
index unchanged at s54, end the iron

Dental building dipped well below
the levels OF year ago.
The fact that department store
sales in August topped August of 1888,
when sales were artificially stimulated

Stay Above 1888 Level.
Sales of merchandise this year. al
though tapering off in the late Spring
have held persistently above 1888
Earlier in the year, the fact that
sales volumes are measured in dol
lars. and prices were much higher
than year previously, led to consid-
cradle speculation as to hcw good
sales really were. 1t appeared for a
time that while dollar volumes were
higher. actual physical volumes were
probably considerably lower.
Now the level of retail prices oi
general department store merchandise
is coming close to 1888, 30 there i:

were only about 6 per cent above a

Higher Foods Watched.
Less satisfactory reports have come
from the industrial East than from
the South and West. Boston was the
only Federal Reserve district in the
country reporting smaller department
store sales in August than In the

Some observers find that the sharp.
