’ Peace pm’lpouln from Germany, ac
‘cordlng&o he Iron Age, came just as
‘Great Britain and France were pu(llnf
forth greater efforts to get our steel.
'One smale of 30,000 tons of ighty-two
millimetre rounds was madg or deliv
ery in the first quarter of 1917.
Out of 2,500,000 tons of steel orders
booked by the United States Steat Clor
poration in November less than 10 per
cent, it is stated, can be classed as war
export business.
__Rallroads have purchased some 450,-
000 tons of rafls in the Chicago district
for dellvery in the first half of 1918. An
additional 20,000 tons have been taken
by the Bt. Paul, making its total 60,000
tons, while the f’ennlylvnnln is soon ex
pected to fllce orders for 200,000 tons of
rails for 1918 delivery.
Blast furnaces have had to be shut
down and shipments of finished steel
rroductl have been delnxod owing to
he shortage of coke induced by the
freight car shortage. In pig iron there
‘i‘ slackening in the demand owing to
the high price levels.

Bradstreet's Notes
Gain in Conservatism
Bradstreet’s weekly trade review fol
lows:
“Germany’s peace proposal thus far
hag not exerted any erflcular effect
upon either trade or industry, though it
has superinduced sharp breaks in the
stock market as well as in cereal and
flour prices and broufht greater cau
tion among financial Interests.
“Incidentally, a more consefvative un
dertone seemg to be develoglng in other
dfrectlon- as regards far future trade,
and naturally there is censiderable dis
cussion as to readjustments if negotia
tions looking te peace actually come to
ss, although at the moment it is
s:ubted that a feasible basis for a
speedy settlement will readily be found.
Nevertheless, the high altitudes to which
commodity prices have risen dictate ?ru
dence in the light of possible develop
ments.” :

Based on 12:30 p. m. ‘:lcu in Liver-
Pool, the New York market was due to
open 3 to 12 points higher on old crops
and unchanged on r}ew.
- -
Saturday's sharp break near the close
was due to umn% of 10,000 bales of May
for a New York house and was thought
to have Yun * stop order for Southern
account,
} - - -
Caotton goods reviews show bullish un
derlying conditions. Mill agencies hold
prices very firm, as there are few goods
to be had for an early delivery. Spring
goods being rushed out, a great volume
of merchandise being on order. Some
of the largest mills makln%.blankets.
etc., would not have more than 50 per
cent of normal productien to offer for
next fall season, due t uold-u? condi
tions and the volume of exports. The
movement of cotton goods, especially
heavies, and spring merchandise contin
ues very large.
gy
Kofler, of New Orleans, wires: “The
Census ginning ref)ort on Wednesday,
giving ginnings to December 13, will, in
my o?lnlon. be bullish arfd show a mark
ed falling off fr(:tn lut. year."
.
Fall River and New Bedford cotton
brokers say that the last week was the
?uletelt they had seen for man{ months
rom the standpoint of bales to the mills.
With the drop In the contract markets
and the luietor goods business, spinners
ltop%od uying cotton almost entirely.
Southern shippers, however, did not low
er their prices to any extent and offer
ings were light.
. A
Hubbard Bros. & Co. say: ‘“‘Exchange
brokers here state that it is with great
difficulty that war insurance can be ob
tained; a fact which seems to be inter
fering with the demand for exports.”
. N
London cables to The Journal of Com
merce say: ‘‘Cotton yarns remain un
settled by cotton accumulations, Some
spinnerg are conceding half rence on
the week. Others who are well booked
ahead are refusing the concesslons, par.
ticularly in the medium warps and fine
counts. As to cloths, business in staples
is restricted. Buyers are requlrlnf con
cessions and are reducing their bidding
limits.” .
NN
Low grade cottons are commanding
record premiums in the Southwest, nc-‘
cording to cotton men from that region.
It is said to be almost impossible to buy |
them. In some cases they are com
manding a price almost even with mid
dll.nl cotton. Spot firms have sold these
fr es and must deliver them, but ow-=
ng to the scarcity of them, it is neces
sary at times to buy as much as 2,000
bales of cotton to securel®® bales of low
grades, such as strict low middling. The
crop 18 sald by this authority to grade
around strict to gogd middling. .
- .
Montgomery, Ala., r?orted that hold
ers there continue indifferent and are
offering a price almost even with mid
dling cotton. /
. e/
R. K. Mac Clea has completed his an
nual estimate of cotton consumption in
the United States for the &uon. He
makes the total this year 6 ,000 bales
compared with his own estimate of 7,-
216,000 bales a year ufo for the previ
ous season and an actual connum?tlon
1;-1 season of 7,279,000 bales, Expiain
ing his reduction of 400,?00 bales from
last year in spite of the increase month
by month so far this year and an ap
parent inerease of nearly 7 per cent in
total yardage of cloth, he says: ‘‘Re
turns from principal centers throuflhout
the country, figures compiled from lead
ing concerns, show surprising increase
in sales. tI is, however, the high prices
of goods that foot up large, not so much
weight as nrdsfe. In fact, the various
compelled substitutions to fit price
ranges have so often almost discontin
ued sales of one old standard by replac
ing with lighter weight goods as a new
standard, that it has been very difficult
to reach the final conclusion. The ac
tual decrease In average weight of goods
in all classes to fill a certain demand
runs all the way from § per cent to 20
xor cent without decreasing yards or
ogens as it applies to cloth or knit
oods. This I 8 exactly the reverse to
|Elt year at this time and is easily over
{ looked. Over speculations has been co;?‘_
pelled by the constant early crop of mill
agents and other first-hand factors to
the effect that if wholesalers did not
'bu{ early they would not get the goeds.
This was reflected more severely among
retallers and made many somewhat
‘panicky’ to secure good for spring.”
- . -
leel‘ipool bles: “Little hedge sell
ing. hlnk%qu!dlnou over."”
. . -
Pacific Coast cleared 12,785 bales of
cotton to Japan Monday.
. - -
Weil Bros., of Montgomery, say: *Very
little remains in first hands. Merchants
and shippers’ stocks held are either to
cover forward commitments or hedged.
It will be hard to shake ouf holtferl.
Bince peace proposals, holders are mcre
tenacious than ever. No preparations
made for next crop. Good deal of land
sown In oats and other gra\ns. While
many are inclined to look for a big
inerease in acreage, the in pendence
and advantages gaineq by diversifica
tion are so well appreciated that the
policy will be continued.”

urdl‘ulnd shows a better tone general
ly. tures recovered all the early loss
toward the close, and the larger spot
sales show that cables predicting larger
demand from mills on the decline were
well founded, With the liquidation and
decline in all markets over the Bureau
publication, technical conditions are of
course much sounder and the spinning
margin has increased, which makes mills
more willing buyers of spots.
Cotton goods reviews show that the
