Some Recovery Is Revealed.

NEW YORK, September 6.-Follow-
ing a sharp slump incident to Labor
day. steel production, said the weekly
Iron Age review today, has shown
some recovery and the current aver
age Of 19 per cent is unchanged from
q week ago.
The survey commented that steel
consumers, protected against higher
prices until the close of the year by
code provisions, are playing waiting
game in the expectation that present
quotations, in the absence Of an I'M
pressive seasonal upturn in business,
will eventually yield to the law of
supply and demand"
Pig-iron production In August, &C.
cording to the review, showed a de-
cline of 1919 per cent from July, fol-
lowing that months recession Of $50
per cent from June. The August rate
of output, at 34,012 tons, was 48.4 pei
cent below the peak of the year
reached In May, and was the lowest
since May. 1888, when the daily aver
age was 28,621 tons.
Total production in August wa.
1,054, 1882 tons, compared with 1,224,.
826 tons in July. There was q net

that cannot now be answered witt

BRITAIN EXPECTED
TO RETAIN POLICY
Changes in Financial Program
Because of Foreign Exchange
Situation Unlikely.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 6.-Govern-
ment and financial quarters appeared
confident today that the present bat
tie between the pound and the franc
win not force the Nation to make
any important change in its financial
policy.
An official spokesman pointed out,
as evidence of the sense of assurance
felt here, the fact that Neville Cham
berlain, acting prime minister, Is con-
tinuing his holiday in Scotland with
out interruption.
All other ministers we're out of town
as Great Britain approached the third
anniversary of its departure from the
gold standard. Quiet prevailed in
financial quarters, where it was as
serted no changes are expected, al
though q crop of rumors concerning
the French position is arising again.
Prof. Frank A. Pearson of Cornell,
passing through London after repre-
senting the United States at the re-
cent Agricultural Conference in Ger
many, made the prediction that
France would devalue her currency
before February, it was learned from
close associates of his.

LeveIS-Junior Rails

BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

Associated Press FINANCIAL writer.
NEW YORK, September 6-The
bond market showed divergent trends
In the late trading and final prices
were mixed. United States Govern
ments were bit under the best levels
at the finish, with several OF the
Treasurys 2/32s to 9/32s of a point
higher.
A considerable number of corporate
issues added a little to yesterdays
gains, but another sizable group met
enough selling late in the session to
effect moderate net losses. Low
priced rails were in some instances
offered rather freely in the final hour.
Most of the important foreign loar.s
edged to higher levels in light trading.
The best gains appeared In German
