Im portant gaina are shown in basis industries simultaneously with a disappointing spring retail trade in many parts of the country, is the report issued by the Bank of Commerce at New York. ! The steel industry of the United States, the movement of which has been accepted for many years as a business index, has recently shown marked expansion. The industry as a whole is how at 70 per cent of capacity. Demand is well distributed throughout all classes of products, and is well sustained on the higher price levels which are being established. Important in this connection is the fact that a largo proportion of the new orders reported is for railroad equipment. Pig iron production is at the highest figure since January, 1921. The monthly rate of steel jngot production approximates that of 1913. Unfilled orders of jhe United States Steel Corporation on March 31 were 4,494,000 jons. ; Copper is moving steadily and stocks are being gradually reduced, while producers are cautionsly increasing output There is a good demand for lead and the price has advanced slightly. The rate of consumption of tin in the plate trade is reported to be as high as for any corresponding period except during the abnor mal war years. It is expected that zinc smelting operations will be increased shortly, and some expansion of mine output will nat urally follow. . . The manufacture of automobiles and of tires and other acces sories is expanding rapidly, although this is undoubtedly seasonal Jo a considerable degree. Retail trade in goods not designed for personal and household consumption shows improvement. The hardware business is better hot only in builders' hardware, but in the many classes of miscellaneous purchases by farmers. Agri cultural implement sales have increased and there is a definite expansion In the fertilizer business, activities in both lines being in excess of even the expected seasonal demand. The return to normal conditions is not an orderly process, and activity may shift unexpectedly from one point to another. The set-back in retail trade is the direct consequence of two fac Jors. Buying by farmers, long at a low level because of unprofit able prices for farm products, has hot shown much improvement, s farmers have very little money, and their buying power can not expand materially before autumn even if the current year's crops ire good. They are wisely using their credit to buy fertilizer, fools and other necessaries of their business. Buying by workers In cities has declined heavily the cumulative effect of prolonged tnemployment. It now seems likely that retail trade will con tinue at not far from its present levels or better until the normal fciidsummer dullness occurs. If gains in basic industries prove permanent the autumn offers promise of expanding retail opera lions on a stable basis. Z The progress of the nation toward normal business has not Hopped ; operations have merely shifted to ft new field.
