Air R?duction Earnings For the quarter ended June 30, the. Air Reduction Company, Inc., reported net profils earned on outstanding stock, before Federal taxes, of $184,314.

Ac? counts and notes receivable aggregated $1,124,000 and accounts payable, con? sisting of current bilis, $217,000. .?-t Pig ?ron Production Lowest in 18 Years ''The returns of July pig iron pro? duction confirm the week-to-week reports last month that iron and steel works operations were declin? ing," says The Iron Age. "In the thirty-one days of July 864,555 tons of pig iron was made. This was at the rate of 27.S89 tons per day, or more than 20 per cent less than the June rate of 35,494 tons per day, the June total being 1,064,833 tons. "Not since December, 1903, nearly eighteen years ago, when 846,695 tons was produced, has the country seen so small a pig iron output as last month's. "Pig iron price reductions include ?1 on charcoal and 50 cents on foundry grades at Chicago. ?1 on basic and 50 cents on Bessemer and malleable at. Pittsburgh and $1 on Southern iron; while in the East little change has taken place and some improvement in demand is re? ported." L-_f Steel Makers Ready To Name Loa*/ Prices Concessions on Large Orders; Better Sentiment Follows improved Buying "The latest transactions in steel products have shown substantially the same low prices that were uncovered in the previous week, with here and there a new declino, sheets and plates apparently being the lines of least re . tance,' a; ? the I ron Age.

Despite th apparent apathy of traders, prices re ii ained practically unchanged. Th upper leather division, which up to th : present time had been most active, i 1 now experiencTng an intensely dul period. However, tho outlook for strong recovery within a week is ver favorable. More hemlock tannages ar being used by manufacturers, it i ! said. The calfskin market yesterday dis I played continued strength. With : scarcity of skins being felt, the pre diction made some time ago in call j skin circles that prices would go high er will soon bo borne out, in the opir : ion of leading traders. The dulnes | prevailing in the finished leather de ; partment apparently has tended t dampen the enthusiasm of traders i ! hides, which market yesterday was al most stagnant.

A. | Wliieh Visited United j Kingdom Reviews Situa? tion; Woolen Goods Are Plentiful and Cheap Comparatively little merchandise in the British Isles the purchase of which can be recommended to Ameri? can retailers was found by the mer? chandizing committee of the delega? tion from tho National Retail Dry Goods Association, which visited Eng? land as guests of Drapers' Chamber of Trade of the United Kingdom last April and May. The committee, with Max Hellman, of the Lindner Company, Cleveland, as chairman, yesterday is? sued a detailed report on market con? ditions in Eng?nnd, through the execu? tive offices of the association here. The merchandise situation in Eng? land, viewe! from the American ? :? ?' ; tandp< '.?cording to I was beclouded with pr rtaintj hi low grade lines especially were considered too high for Ameri? cans to pay. ''The process of prii nation," says the report, "had not at the time of our visit been carried on to the same extent as in the United States. In many industrial centers manufacturers appeared to be rel to quote prices, because they admil ted th< y were expeel - price revi in tin ainty over the labor sil were unable to say at the of ? visit how sharply they might reduce ?." Another interesting phase of the re? port states that in the main American manufacturers have developed the use of machinery to a greater extent than have the British producers. Linens were reported to be selling cheaper in New York than in B and Dunfermline, and no important ? were found in these centers, in cotton goods British low end sheetings and muslins were- higher than th American manufacture. Fine ging? hams, however, appeared to be an advantageous buy for the American trade. Woolen and worsted goods, accord? ing to the committee, exist in great (lii.-uuit.ies in the United I-, i prices apparently below those Storm serges, 52-inch, all wool, 10 to 12 ounces to the yard were qu 2 shillings 6 pence?about 50 "The markets seemed to be full of distressed merchandise," said the re? port. Scotch and Irish Yorkshire worsteds, gabardines and tweeds were the subjects comment, most of wliieh was fav to buying by the Americans. The report says that in the main little could be done by American re? tailers with English made clothing, E i either men or women. Some of the English coats and mantles for women were found satisfactory and th mittee also visited two men's clothing makers whoso product appeared to be suitable to the American trade. Prices on cutlery are expected to be lower. The committee reports "nothing doing" on dolls and toys, adding that i concerns are buying from G1 manufacturers. Prices of cotton under? wear were found to be exceptionally high and British retailers are import? ing many lines from the United States. Manufacturers of glass and chinaware were reported behind in their orders and unwilling to quote prices. The only types of English or Scotch made hose that might sell in America, aec jrding to the committee, were wool hose, which were said to be down a third in price from last year. The committee believes American mer? chants can do better in cotton and silk hose at home. Knitted golf jackets and women's sweaters also were the subjects of favorable comment in the report, which added, however, "prices on these, in our judgment, have not yet reached bottom." Commercial Credit Commercial money continues in fair demand. The prevailing rate on com? mercial paper is 6 per cent for most maturities.

Ready-Made Trade Takes Up Golf Clothes Medium Priced Manufacturers Now Turn Out Sports Attire Medium and low-priced clothing manufacturers have felt the augmented demand for sports clothing and are now turning out comprehensive lines of knickered golf suits, etc., which will retail at the so-called popular prices. The wide swing toward sports cloth? ing has been reflected back t the cloth markets, and tweeds and homespuns for spring, 1922, are among the best selling fabrics that have be< a shown for the new season, accord woolen goods selling agents who have opened their spring lines. The old adage that the United States was a "worsted" nation appears to be rtj longer true. For some time wool? ens, as distinguished frosn worsteds, have been affected by the high custom tailors. Tho tendency is grow? ing in ready-made clothing." Many of the sports suits now being turned out by clothing manufacturers aro of tho four-pieced variety, which include long trousers as well as knickerbockers, thus allowing the suit to be used for business and Btreet wear as well as for strictly sport, uses. Sports suits that will retail around the popular price range of $36 to $50 al? ready have been bought by the merchants for fall, and are expe ted to be shown still more extensive;, spring.
