NEW YORK, July 29.-Steel oper-
ations in the current week will be at
90.4 per cent of capacity, the highest
level since last December II, the
American Iron & Steel Institute
estimated today -
This was an increase of % points
over last weeks rate of 88.2 per cent.

per cent and year ago 1913.
CLEVELAND, July 29 (P).-A slight
lull has appeared in several lines of
steel production, but other branches
continue active and there is no
indication of price weakness except
in the scrap market.
This was the appraisal today OF
the Magazine Steel, which said the
tendency toward minor slacken-
ng-of-pace was helping producers
make progress against accumulated
orders. Mills backlogs are sufl-
cient to carry over the usually dull
period.
I'm the case of some products
pressure is still heavy. particularly
in semi finished STEEL the review
added, with large tonnages for ex-
port to Great Britain, some going
by way of Canada for partial fabri-
cation. presenting problem to
producers.
practically all available blast
furnace capacity is active and re-
pair work is being expedited on
such as are out for refining Foun-
dry melt is only slightly affected
by the summer period and with
resumption of automobile produc-
ton will be at high rate.
Structural and reinforcing steel
placements hold to the high level
of the past few weeks. defense work
being prominent, with increasing
private construction coming out.
Railroads continue to place heavy
orders.
Tin plate demand fails to hold
up to expectations Indications of
a large vegetable and fruit pack
promise heavier demand within a
4 few weeks.
! Placing of scrap iron. steel and
other metals under the export
license rule creates a virtual en-
barge on scrap movement except
under special permission and will
halt shipments for the present,
throwing back on the domestic mar
ket such tonnages as have been
collected for export Just how
broadly this regulation will be ap-
piled remains to be seen.

Chicago Grain
Ev thf Ayeoriated Press

Bv the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Hot weather,
need of rain particularly in Eastern
sections of the commercial corn belt
and reports of spring wheat damage
gave grain prices a lift today. Firm
ness of securities also impaired some
strength to grains.
Wheat and corn rose about a cent
at times, but were unable to hold all
of the advance, due partly to a fore
cast Of thundershowers in corn belt
districts in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
missed by week end precipitation
B. w. Snow, crop expert, had reports
from the Dakotas that wheat con-
dition has deteriorated during July,
indicating the private estimates Of
production to be issued later this
week may be smaller than a month
ago.

Figures
What TheyMeon
By JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statisttcian.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Argentine
businessmen believe that postwar
trade with Europe on barter basis
is virtually inevitable, Business
Week magazine said today on the
basis of reports from its Buenos
Aires representative.
Most Argentines, the magazine
stated, think that cartel based on
the western hemisphere would not
be feasible and see no alternative
to barter if surpluses of agricultural
commodities are to be disposed Of
to bankrupt Europe.
The Argentine attitude Is that
the United States can't buy whest,
corn and other cereals, and so far
has shown no inclination to buy
frozen and chilled meat-so where
will the money come from? Only
through barter can Argentina Sc
cure the products she needs unless
some new world economic setup
makes it possible to receive cash
for her exports.
The possibility for American
business with Argentina a1ter the
war boils down to three alternatives,
Business Week states:
/. The United States may buy
more Argentine products and there
fore be able to sell more.
2. The United States may con-
tinue to buy only small quantities
of Argentine products and there
fore sell no more than what her
purchases create in dollar exchange
in Buenos Aires, while Argentina
barters with Europe.
3. A new world economic setup
may enable Argentina to sell to Eu-
rope for cash and use part Of it
for increased purchases from the
United States.

NewCrop Marketings
Hold Down Wheat
Prices in Week
Feed Grains Advance
Slightly as Result
Of Light Offerings
By the Associated Press.

~ tAe hSooSidbc0 EICoc.
Continued heavy marketings OF
winter wheat and the beginning Of
the movement of new spring wheat
kept prices of the bread grain from
making any gains last week, the
Agriculture Department reported to-
day
The feed grains, on the other
hand, advanced slightly as market
supplies continued light for the good
demand from industrial buyers.
The department said little change
occurred in wheat crop prospects,
Harvesting and threshing in the
United States made rapid progress
under almost ideal conditions. Cut
ting of winter wheat was practically
completed northward to Southern
Iowa. Spring wheat harvesting was
well under way in South Dakota
and some early grain was cut in
North Dakota.
Shows Good Quality.
First new spring wheat OF the
season, arriving at Minneapolis,
showed good quality with high pro-
tein content.
The department said spring wheat
deteriorated in the Canadian prairie
provinces and prospects at the close
of the week were considerably less
favorable than @at the beginning
of July.
In Europe weather conditions were
mostly favorable for harvesting
which was about completed in the
more southern countries. While re-
liable information was difficult to
obtain because of war conditions,
the department said it appeared that
the total European outturn may be
Is to 80 per cent below average.
The department said that the
heavy movement Of grain in this
country has taxed the storage ca
pacity of some terminals. The carry
over of old wheat at the beginning
OF the season was larger than a
year ago. A good portion of the
new, wheat has been going into stor-
age under Federal loans to growers.
Corn Market Up.
The corn market advanced slightly
as result of continued light offer
ings. A good portion OF the market
receipts of less than 5000 900 bushels
was applied on previous sales.
The new corn crop continued to
grow we'll in eastern portions of the
belt, but was in need of rain gen.
orally in western sections. Hot
weather caused considerable damage
in Kansas. The crop remained in
very good condition in Iowa, but
leaves wilte6 some under the ex-
treme heat of the last week.
At Chicago September wheat closed
Saturday at 74ls to 7414 cents a
bushel. unchanged from Friday S
close. July corn closed at sos to
60a4 cents, compared with a previous
close of 6lh4 to 61as.

Soft Coal Minimums
To Become Effective
September ;
Prices to Ronee From
10 Cents to $5.25
Per Ton
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Howard A. Gray, director of the
bituminous coal division of the In
terror Department, said today min
imum prices for soft coal at the
mines would become effective Sep
tember 3 and range from 10 cents a
ton for low-grade Indiana coal dust
to $525 for high-grade lump pro-
duced in Washington State,
Secretary Ickes said Gray had
completed work on the long awaited
minimum prices, intended to stabil-
ize the bituminous industry. and
had already started mailing the
schedules to members. He said,
however, none of the specific prices
other than the high and low would
be announced until after they had
been officially released through the
mails and after Gray had completed
the task of duplicating the sched-
ules
The Secretary said the first sched-
ules covering mines in the Rocky
Mountain and Far Western States
were placed in the mails over the
week end and those for the remain
ing districts would be in the mails
by August or shortly after.
The prices, Ickes continued, cover
substantially all commercial bitumi-
nous coal and reflect the differences
in quality. Producers who are mem
bers of the coal code may not sell
their coal at less than minimum
prices without risk of loss of their
code membership. which loss would
subject them to 1912 per cent tax
and possibility of suit for triple
damages by code member compete
tors. Producers not members Of the
code are permitted to sell their coal
at any price they wish, but their
sales are subject to 1914 per cent
tax.
