American Steel.
Fittsburgh, Marod 21—Just at |present, the amount of steel
tonnage en ered for our.`own". preparations cannot be estimated. but there is no doubt that a great dest of business has been put through. In many cases roling has been starts i at once. The
question is sometimes asked, how high can et-el prices got the ide forme ly heb, that there is a limit, must be abandoned in ,war time The pre ent market is
affected by two war influ moet | the E-iropean, which begɑn tɔ ex- ert a favourable influsce nearly twoveɛrsage, and the American, which possibly has exerted in influence already, but at any rate is quite likely to exert an influence in future. With the steel trade so busy that it was unable to pay much attention to the prospect of ja general railroad strike, it can- not be expected to devote much time to a study of the Steel Corporation's annual report, as just issued. Comment is, made, however, on one - utstanding för- ture of the Corpo atica's book- keeping; that in a year in which tie eiraings were more than - double those of any previous year, not one dollar was appropri ated from surplus auniegs for new construction. The new con- struction occurred, there being $55,000,000 of expenditures chargeable to property acc.unt. but the portion that was not taken care of by depreciation funds. etc., was left as an increase in the ¡property account, while the bok surplus was increased by more than $00,000,00. In 1937 the expenditures were approx mataly the same, but they wer: chiefly by appropriations previously made from surplus earnings. The view taken is that this procedure rep essats a policy of deferring until the close of the war, or until the outlook for futureyrars can be more definitely gauged, the adjustment of the various accounts. Such

American Cotton.
The Galves on correspondent of the "Monitor" writes on March 25: Broadening of spst demand for raw cotton and unsatisfactory conditions surrounding the new crop have been regarded as bullish factors in the Texas cotton market during the last week. As a result there has been a general upward tendency that has carried prices s abstantially higher than the close of the previous work, The threatened railroad strike and the e-ulting embargoes caused many spot buyers to with- draw from the market,, but the total sales were encouraging. amounting to more than 20,000 bala, as compared with 15,745 bales last week and 15,125 bales for the corresponding week last yer.

Conditions are conspiring to reduce the acreage that will be planted to. cotton, but it is not believed that this reduction of scrage will sm wat to more than 10 per cent. It is noticeable that the new crop, routions are now stronger than th old crop months; and this showe that.more interest is taken by the trade in the new cmp in- dications than in the amount of old cotton that remains to be marketed. It is believed that there is still consider-ble, cilton in the hands of the farmers and interior spot dealers, and that as soon as the shipping situation clears, much of this cotton wall move into right for foreign e zyrt In the meantime the cottonmais in Texas and other elates are wayy: myst
