Steel Now 70 Per Cent of

(National Hank of Commerce)
Huilnos activity baa been trans-
fprred to a new field. Important
gain.i aro shown In baste industries
simultaneously 'with a disappoint
ing spring retail trade In raaay
part of tho country.
The rteel Industry of the Ualted
State, the movement of which kaa
been accepted for many year a a
business Index, baa recently shown
marked expansion. The Industry
as a whole U now at 70 Mr cent
of capacity. Demand la well dis
tributed throughout all elaaae of
products, and Is well sustained ons'
tho higher price levels which are
being established Important la
this connection Is the fact that a
largo proportbja of the new orders
reported Is for railroad equipment.
Pig Iron production la at the high
est figure since January, mi. The
monthly rato ot steel Ingots produc
tion approximates that of 11S.
unfilled orders ot the United SUtoa
Steel corporation on March were
4,491,000 tons.
Copper Steady
Copper Is moving steadily and
stocks are being gradually reduced,
while producers are cautloualy In
creasing output. There Is a good
demand for lead and the price baa
advanced slightly. The rata of
consumption ot tin In the plate
trade Is reported to. be aa high as
for any corresponding period ex
Copt during tho abnormal war
-,jHjUilii5iWtViat Uc
smelting operations will be Increas
ed shortly, and sone expansion of
mlrro output will naturally .follow.
The manufacture of, automobllei
and of tires and other automobile
accessories is expanding raoldlr. al
though this Is undoubtedly seasonal
to a considerable degree. Retail
trade In goods not designed for
pertonal and household consump
tion shows Improvement. Tho hard
ware business Is better not only In
builders' hardware but In the many
classes of miscellaneous purchaaea
ot farmers. Agricultural Imple
ment sales havp Increased and tbero
Is a definite expansion In the fer
tilizer business, activity In both '
lines boing In excess of even tho
expected seasonal demand,
Activities May Shift
The return to normal conditions
Is not an orderly process, and ac
tivity may shift unexpectedly from
one point to another. The set-back
In retail trade Is the direct conse-
quence ot two factors. Buying by
farmers, long at a low levpl because
ot unprofitable prlceajor farm pro
ducts, ha not shown much Im
provement', as farmers have very.
little money, and their buying pow
er cannot expand materially before
autumn, even If tho current year'a
crops are good. They are wisely
using ihelr credit to buy fertiliser,
tools nnd other necessarle. ot their
business. Buying by workers In
cities has declined heavily the
cumulative effect of pVolonged un
employment. It now seems likely
that retail trado will continue at
not far from Its present levels or
bettor until the normal mld-ium-ni
er dullness occurs. It gains In
basic Industries proves permanent
tho autumn offera promise of ex
panding rotall operatloni on a sta
ble basis.
Tho progress ot the nation to
ward normal business ha not stop
ped; operations have merelv ahift-
Itd t0 a new field.
