weeks have elapsed since consumers
stocked up with steel, and the failure
of new demands to appear long after
the time anticipated, with widespread
labor difficulties and increasing un-
certainties regarding Government
policies, is exerting a pronounced
depressing influence in the markets,
states the magazine Steel.
Scanning the immediate horizon,
steelmakers can see only prospects
for additional Government work and
some revival in automobile require

Auto Output Down.
Automobile output, continuing to
decline, last week was slightly under
$4,000 cars, though the recession is
meeting with unusual resistance, the
reduction in output from the week of
July IA being only 20 per cent.
Some prolonged shutdowns in the
automobile industry will be made
over the Labor day period and the
month is expected to be the slowest
in motor car productivity since
January.
while many of the lighter finished
steel rolling mills are idle, awaiting
accumulations of miscellaneous or
ders, structural shape mills are op-
Grating at relatively high rate,
mainly on Government awards.
"Steelmakers look for fairly good
seasonal recovery in agricultural re-
quirements this Fall, basing hopes on
the increase in farm product prices
and Government subsidies to offset
some of the loss caused by the drouth.
Prices to Be Tested.
within two weeks steelmakers will
begin to formulate prices for fourth
quarter, to open books September /.
Reduced demand has precluded any
broad test of the increases named for
third quarter. Last week bids on the
IL naval ships to be built by private
yards were opened and apparently
full code prices were quoted. The real
test, however, is expected shortly

SILVER PURCHASES
MAY YSPUREXPORTS
Buying Expected to Create
Larger Supply of DOL
lars Abroad.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. August 20.-The
more it is studied, the more unex-
pected are the implications from the
Governments silver-buying program.
One possible effect is Just emerg-
ing from the discussion-an effect
not envisaged by either the advo-
Gates or the opponents of the plan.
That is the increased supply of doll
lars which will be available to for
eigners with which to buy American
goods If the Treasury pushes its pur-
chasing of the white metal abroad to
the limit necessary to establish a
three-to-one ratio Of gold to silver in
the metallic reserves. e
Foreign silver can be acquired only
by selling dollars, and the effect of
the acquisition is the same on the
international balance of trade as
that of any other import. 1t in
creases the supply of exchange avail
able to make payment on account of
bills already owed to the Govern
ment or to the citizens Of the United
States, as well as the means of initi-
ating new transactions.
