industrial Output
Curbed Moderately
During Week
Steel Rote Declines
Below IS Per Cent,
Scrap Reduced
ny the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Mills and
factories in some industries gently
applied the brakes this week in a
new year showdown Of the Nations
fast-production pace.
Steel. pace-maker for the autumn
boom in heavy industries, dropped
down a notch in the operations
scale. The steel output rate went
below IS per cent Of capacity. It
scared above "a per cent and set a
tonnage record Last November.
Industrial metal markets also gave
hints of a slackening in the drive
to fill the huge orders for goods and
semi finished materials placed in
the September October war-buying
surge. Steel scrap, usually q good
barometer Of basic industrial trends,
was on the decline. A smelter shaved
the price Of copper In an effort to
stir up new business.
Forecasters of a new year business
setback, surveying the tendencies,
were moved to say: II told you so. "
Visiting to be answered, however,
was the question whether the down.
turn was merely an ordinary winter
slack ening Of activity or the start
of a reaction from the 1899 revival
squirt. Some business analysts held
nothing more than a minor letdown
was fn prospect for the next few
months. Others argued buyers gen.
orally were holding up for the
winter and had sufhcient inventory
to carry them well into 1910.
Most comforting to business lead
ers were indications consumer de-
mand for gcpds was well maintained,
despite the big holiday splurge of
shopping in December.
From the Rocky Mountains to the
Atlantic Coast. the icy blasts OF
Jack Frost sent Temperatures tum-
bling toward the zero mark. Out
door industrial activity was ham
pered, but demand for fuel, heavy
clothing, winter sports equipment
went up as the meAcury went down.
In steel, textiles, machinery and
other lines production schedules in
large part rested on reserves OF
business carried over into 1910 from
the autumn scramble TO replenish
stocks and avoid wartine price ad-
vanceS.
The backlogs generally, .plus some
new business, were sufficient to keep
most industries going near peak
levels. But the Associated Press in
dustrial index. allowing for seasonal
changes, declined.
The index, with component groups
based on latest figures, calculated
on l929-30 levels as 100, compared

NEW YORK, March 16.-Mild
selling breezes ruffled the bond mar
ket today and sent leaders back
fractions to points at the out
side.
Most traders appeared little
puzzled by the declines, slow as they
were in most cases. But rumors
of peace moves in the big conflict
abroad were enough to strangle at
tempts at aggressive support.
Some of the wider shifts down.
ward occurred in the foreign sector.
Denmark 4l2s dropped nearly 2
points when the short session was
well into the last hour and Queens
land IS about as much.
In the corporate list rails bore the
brunt of selling. with industrial and
utilities close behind. Among the
most active at lower prices were
Southern Pacific 4l2s, Great North
ern Is of '46 C. st. Paul SIS,
Studebaker IS. Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube 4s and Montana Power 3s4s.
Trade in United States Govern
ment loans was comparatively brisk,
but price trends were hazy. A rur-
up of 10-32d point in one issue con-
trasted with declines running to
sround 3-32d.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Weak-
ness in outside markets and sharp
decline in Bombay unloosed a gen.
eral liquidating movement in cot
ton futures today. Final prices were
10 to 13 down.
Straddle selling by Indian brokers,
commission house and Southern
liquidation met only a moderate
demand from spot interests, CO.
operatives and trade.
Uncertainties over European de-
velopments caused much of the
selling, brokers said.
