NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Industrial
barometers have climbed faster
than business sentiment in recent
months, the National City Bank of
New York says in its monthly eco
nomic survey.
Businessmen fear that the rise
has been due too much to Govern
ment spending and that it will not
last longer than the spending lasts"
the bank added. AT best they
cannot see far ahead and naturally
this limits their willingness to
undertake new projects or capital
improvements, even if they are
able"
Nevertheless, it noted, indications
for the near future have continued
favorable. October building figures
were described as little short of
sensational" with contracts award
ed in the first half of the month at
the highest daily rate since 1880
and 81 per cent above the compare.

Scrap Steel Buying

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Heavy buy
ing of steel scrap for home con-
sumption and export was reported
today by the Iron Age in its weekly
trade summary.
Domestic mills, working at faster
speed, may have bought as much
as 100000 tons Of scrap in the last
week, the trade publication said.
In addition, it said, Japan is be-
heved to have bought close to 100000
tons and there have been additional
sales recently to European coun-
tries"
Striking increases" in steel out
put at Chicago and Detroit were
noted. The operating rate at De-
troit, the publication reported, was
$50 per cent, the highest for the
country, compared with about 81
per cent for the industry generally.
Automobile steel was held mainly
accountable for the boost in Chi
cago and Detroit mill schedules.
The national ingot rate rose 3 points
over tne previous week.
October pig iron output was esti-
mated at 2,054,00O gross tons. COM
pared with 1880, 435 in September.
Nineteen additional furnaces were
put IN blast during the month and
TWO more Carnegie Illinois furnaces
were slated to go into action in
the Chicago district this week. the
review said.
Inc southern Railway, it reported,
mas ordered 2,575 freight cars in
stead of 2.400 as originally planned
opening market for 1000 or more
tons of steel
Several factors were cited as point
ing to further expansion of steel
operations, including encouraging"
automobile sales and attempts to
speed P. w. A. projects into con-
struction.

Major Farm Prices
In Long Period Of
'Stabi|ization'
Markets Are Virtually
In Deadlock in Low
Level for Weeks
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Major farm
commodity prices are in one of the
longest periods of general "stabil-
ization" on record, a market survey
showed today.
With stocks of important COM
moditieS piling up in warehouses
and on the farm, markets have been
virtually deadlocked for weeks.
During the past three months
wheat has stuck to price range of
7 cents, corn has fluctuated only 8
cents. oats S cents, rye cents and
butter u cent.
Although grain prices are "stabil-
lied" near the lowest levels in five
to six years and butter is the lowest
In three years, all prices are COM
fortably above the record lows
reached in 1882. Livestock, particu-
larly hogs, has not been confined to
the narrow range characterizing
grains.
Withdrawal of Speculation.
Grain trade experts attributed the
steadiness of commodity markets,
in part at least, to the accumula-
ton OF supplies tending to depress
prices on one hand and widespread
Government efforts to raise prices
on the other. Helping to iron out
the ups and downs of price f1uctua-
lions has been withdrawal of broad
scale speculative activity in mar
kets, although it was pointed out
that speculation, itself, acts in an
ticipation of price moves and thus
tends to f1atten the curve.
Participation of the Government
IN commodity markets has helped to
chill speculative activities. Trading
IN grains is at an unusually low ebb.
Government efforts to bolster values,
observers declare, has discouraged
private market action against such
a trend.
The Government has played
particularly prominent role in the
butter, corn and wheat markets. Al
most constant buying by Federally
financed agencies has practically
galvanized butter prices. The Gov
ernment'S export subsidy for wheat
has helped make the domestic price
the highest in the world, traders
said.
Traders Are Uncertain.
At the same time, the piling up of
surpluses, movement of supplies into
various channels of consumption
through Government subsidy, at
tempts to control production or re-
tard farm marketing have not en-
couraged broad-scale buying because
many traders are uncertain about
the net effect on basic supply and
demand conditions in each COM
modify. The result is that extreme
caution rules all market activity and
"watchful waiting is the slogan.
Traders declared the sale abroad
of wheat, encouraged by the Gov
ernment's export subsidy, has to
some extent made the domestic mar
ket independent of world trade.
Foreign wheat market prices have
declined. while domestic prices have
shown little change.
Farmers Hold Corn.
Government corn loans have re-
tarded the marketing of that grain
and encouraged farmers to hold
corn for better prices. Attempts to
reduce production of both wheat
and corn have been made.
The following table shows the
range of important commodity
prices since August contrasted
with the highs and lows for the
past eight years December future
contracts.
