STEEL PRODUCTION HIGH Demand Somewhat Slackened; Unfilled Orders Reduced. Bu Times Special PITTSBURGH*. March J.—A high rate of operation la being maintained at steel plants, with Pittsburgh mills averaging about 85 per cent, and some units In the Chicago district running close to 100 per cent. Yet demand has recently fallen off and unfilled orders In some cases are being reduced, which suggests the possibility of a readjustment of outputs. An early development of spring buying is exnected, however, and it is believed that there will boon be a better balance between production and consumption. Thus far, according to The Iron Age. there is no evidence of stock accumulation except in jobbera’ hands.

Two weeks ago 36 reductions and 28 increases were reported, while a year ago there was a alight excess of advances. One of the features last week was the further easing in hide markets, sizable transactions developing at concessions of as much as lo In some instances. The price for native steers at Chicago fell to 15%c, some of the large packers making concessions down to that llgure, and country stock declined in sympathy. In cotton goods, on the other hand, the quotation for print cloths little, and steel prices were well maintained, as a whole. TINNERS’ SUPPLIES Tin—-1C 30x28 coke. sl4 60: charcoal.

Klng&n was reported as taking only about 500 bead. The session was short and snappy. Prices now are $1.16®1.26 higher than last Monday. The primary reason for the higher trend Is the rapidly decreasing receipts. The heavy marketing of brood sow’s and pigs six months ago, viewed then with misgiving by many, is now making itself felt in no uncertain manner. Trade In the cattle department was active, with prices holding about steady with last week's close. Dealers reported a good demand for all grades of killing Btock and receipts estimated at 1,400. while liberal for Monday, did not seem to have any particular bearish influence on prices. Dealers' classification of stock not strict and the trend was generally considered in favor of the seller. There was no particular feature to the market. Veals were sharply higher.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF- IN FARM SITUATION TODAY Surplus Similar to That Following Civil War Blamed, “The farm la a good place to come from and a poor place to go to,’’ a youth who quit his father’s farm in quest of a fortune In the city remarked. Thousands upon thousands of others have thought the same thing and have acted accordingly. Other thousands probably will do the same thing bfefore conditions get well settled again. Many who have left the farm In the last few months and many who are still sticking had hoped for -conditions to get better. Agriculture Is a large - Industry, Involving more than 6,000,000 independent heads of businesses. Movements of the industry are sluggish, therefore, and readjustments slow. After Civil War The essential difference between agriculture and city Industry is that Yhe one has been going through a period of low prices because of accumulated surplus and the other has been going through a period of accumulated scarcity, resulting in higher prices. The situation Is not new for agriculture. Following the Civil War, there were large surplusses of agricultural products for a number cf years. The thlffg that did most good was application of the old-fashioned bleeding process, whereby a substantial portion of the rural population was drained away to the cities. This same slow, but reliable, remedy, has been working In the recent period of distress. Bachelors Go First The unmarried young men of any community* usually are*the first to Join the city-ward movement when farming is unprofitable. These young men have less at stake In the change than anyone else. 'Married men leave the farm less readily and there Is much less likelihood of their returning. Each worker produces enough food for himself and three in the city. Each twenty-two days there is an Increase In city population equal to the population of the State of Nevada. All of these are consumers of farm products.

INTERURBANS TO CONTINUE WEEKLY EXCURSION RATES Many Take Advantage of Reduction in Trolley Fares, Officials of the Knlon Traction Company and the lerre Haute, ludlanapolls & Eastern Railway Company today announced slash In weekend lnterurban fares would be continued Indefinitely, following an ap preciable Increase In traffic Saturday and Sunday. The special excursion rates, approximately two-thirds less than the regular fares, were In effect from Saturday noon to midnight Sunday. Officials reported the bulk of the additional traffic came from shoppers and theatergoers In town* within a seventy-mile radius of Indianapolis. Outgoing traffic was least affected. New Traffic The regular rate, approximately 8 cents a mile one way, was cut to 2 cents a mile, one-way mileage, for the round trip. Travelers reported saving of from $4 to $5 on week-end round trips to points 100 miles or more from Indianapolis. The saving on a fifty-mile trip was approximately $2. The week-end cut was only partly a move in competition with bus llnea paralleling their lines, one official said. The influx of Saturday shoppers from outlying towns was new business and not necessarily from bus lines, it was said. Bus line fares, usually one-third to one-half less than lnterurban fares between the same points, averaged slightly higher than the week end lnterurban fares, but bus officials said they did the usual volume of Sunday and Saturday business In spite of the fare competition. Trailers Added Commercial travelers, usually not purchasing round trip tickets, eagerJy bought round-trip fares, finding eveh the round trip was cheaper than one-way fare. Regular fare to Wabash, It was pointed out as an example, Is $2.68 one way while the round-trip week-end fare was $1.85. Regular rate to Terre Haute one way Is $2.16. The round trip weekend fare was $1.60. Round trip bus fares to Wabash are $3.70 and to Terre Haute $3. Trailers were added to several T. H., I. & E. trains Saturday after--noon.

BUS BILL PASSED BY BOUSE, 69-21 Measure Puts Carriers Under Public Service Body, Probably the most strenuous lobby of the present legislative session came to naught today when the House, by a surprising vote of 69 to 21, passed the Moorhead Senate bill vesting control of hiotor buses and trucks In the State publlo service commission. When the measure was handed down for third reading more than an hour was spent in debate. As spokesman for Governor Jackson, Representative Pittenger, House floor leader, declared “bus competition at present Is actually destroying taxable property.” Representative Freeman, speaking for the bus people, said the measure was “designed to smother competition.” Passage of the Mooreheadl bin means abandonment of action on the Hull House bill placing control with the State highway commission. Those voting against the Moorhead bill: Babcock, Beblnger, Bender, Brewster, Claypool, Drake, Ebaugh, Freeman, Gill, Gottschalk, Hoffman, Huffman, Hull, Johnson of Bartholomew Leer, McMlnn, Mendenhall of Daviess, Reeder, Summy, Werner and Wheeler.*
