By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, May l5.-Daily
Metal Trade today says:
Reductions of so cents to 81 per
ton on various grades Of iron and steel
scrap at Detroit are outstanding de-
velopments in the markets. Easiness
at other points continues in scrap,
and a reversal of the current trend
in prices Is not discernible for the
early future.
Consumer demand Is restricted,
with buyers holding out of the market
in expectation of lower quotations re-
sulting from increasing supplies and
lower-priced material being made
available by the opening of lake nav
igation. Finished steel buying is
tapering slowly, but mill backlogs are
sufficiently large to assure steel-mak-
ing operations close to the present
level-68 per cent-through June.
The tone of the market Is strong,
with prices firm.
Announcement OF price policy for
third quarter is expected to be made
in the trade within two weeks. In
some quarters it is reported an ad-
vanced of 81 to So per ton IS under
consideration for the period"

while the cool, cloudy weather fol-

venting injury.
All indications point to high
prices for the new potato crop, with
the balance of the old stocks bring
