Paid on Savings Ace counts. in ' Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age sa A slight increase in business marks the first week of the new year. No significance can be at- tached to the fact, for there are no signs as yet of 2 buying movement. A few steel departments are ope! ating at 85 per cent. of capacity, but the general average is nearer 65 per cent. At t the present rate of pro- duction is equivalent to 90 per cent. of the capacity of four years ago. Consumer and producer are each | settling down to a contest to tire out the other. The one is convinced at present that prices will go lower. The other claims it would be disastrous if they did, unless wages are reduced. But labor readjustment except through the long-drawn-out proces: of men bidding against one another is not as vet considered. The increas- ing needs must be shored up by the buying element of the market and an unswerving adhcrence to present | ve to dominate to maintain the the volume of the selling deadlock. Revisions of steel contracts to pres- ent levels have been made, even on material for specific projects, but gen- erally they represent concesslons in for greatly delaved deliveric last year and to jobbers and fabri- cators for resale. Reductions of sheet contract prices on sales under the pre- sumably ironclad contracts peculiar to that trade weaken the chances of wide introduction of the recently approved form of the general iron and steel contract. In the pig iron market the tendency fo reduce prices on undelivered ton- nage is noted in some dist ts, 8 in Cleveland, where one company is free- Iy revisinz contracts, but many large sellers have not yet decided to follow this policy except in rare cases and a compromise frequently adopted s to extend deliveries instead of granting cancellations or price revisions, Many foundries have little business on hand and are not confident as {o prospect: Export business is developing slow Iy, due to questions of price and also to the scarcity of ships and high freight rates. The United States Shipping board has begun to release ships for commercial trade, but it will be some months before the number will be sufficient. What is regarded as essential some international pooling of shipping, that ships leaving here may be ired of car- goes on continuing vovages. In no other way is explainad the making of ocean rates from United States ports two and three times those from Brit- ish ports. a condition which puts our exports at a decided dlsadvantage. A 25 to 30 per cent. in ves- freight chargos has certainly not stimulated an export movement. The plg iron production of 1918 was 38,506,249 tons. The December out- put was 3,423, tons, or 110,762 tons daifly. and thus at an annual rate of 40,428,000 fons, but there were five | months of last year in which a higher rate was maintained. The momentum | of war effort is responsible in part, for December, 1918, exceeded the { isting December record, that of 1915 by 7.429 tons a day. The sovere w ter of 1917-1918 cut down the vear's total. The November daily average make was 111,802 tons.

He has gained control of the railways and is bringing large where Many of the dispatches received have been without dates and it is as- sumed all were censored. According to the Neueste Nachrich- | ten of Leipzic, the government has upper hand in the center of the but the Spartacans hold the east and the ruburbs. The newspa- per says a divislon of Guards, 8,000 strong, has arrived. The Fronkfort Gazette says the Re- publican Guard, consisting of 3,000 men which was Chief of Police Eich- horn’s guard, has placed itself at the disposal of the government and that the Berlin garrison, which has been Neutral, also has placed itself on the side of the government. Another official statement emanating from Frankfort says the government has at its disposal 80,000 loyal troops. The Frankfort Nachrichten says the government scored a success & cutting the telephonic communicatio of the prefecture of police, which was in Spartacan hands. One bad sign is the complete susupension of the street car system of Berlin, owing to a dispute over wages. There have been various reports of the Ebert government. resigning, and the possible occupation of Berlin by Entente and American troops. None of these rumors has been confirmed. end WELCH WINS TOURNAMENT. Martin J. Welch was the winner of the 45" tournament held in the Y. M T. A.
