February 9.— Daily Metal Trade today says: An active demand for alloy steels Is being encountered. Consumers are encountering difficulty in obtaining supplies in quantity from the mills and as a result are turning to dis tributors. Some jobbers have been virtually cleaned out of certain sizes. Some mills are unable to offer deliveries of ^loy bars before June. Shipments in other divisions of the reel industry also are deferred many weeks. The tone of the market is very Strong. Second quarter price advances are being talked in some directions, though nothing definite in this respect has yet developed. CURB BONDS DOMESTIC BONDS High. Low. Noon.
