”HOW THE STEEL MEN FEEL.
L j j The great iron and steel industry
,I "has come," by virtue of the increased
dgp'lmi for and use of both these pro-
, he“. who the standard by which
" niolt business men measure the busi-
ness situation and the trend of events.
‘» At a recent dinner in New York city
* of the steel manufaciurcrs of the
. country it was the unlvm-snl opinion
' that there had been a gradual though
"slowrimprovement in business, and all
were optimistic concerning the future.
Judge Gray, of the United States Steel
. Corporation was of this Opinion, and
’ John A. Topping, “chairman oftho ite-
public lron and Steel Company," who
has just returned from a trip to the
south said yesterday, in speaking of
the business sitnnliou, that while
there might be some temporary set»
hacks so far as the steel business was
concerned, he believed the tendency
“ would he upward. This improvement
was already in evidence, he said, in
the business of the Republic iron and
BteelCompnny, which showed a gain
of something over 8 per cent. as com-
pared with February, and was no do-
lng about 47 per cent. of a normal
month's business.....................
“With greater exhaustion in stocks of
“materials in consumers’ hand," he
continued, “it would seem first an im-
proved buying movement should be
realized it crop prospects circrt their
usual influcnccs. One of the features
that must not be overlooked is good
,collcctionh. Then, again, there have
. been no failures of consequence in the
\. iron and steel business." Optimism
is better than pessimism, and when
optimism is based on facts and natives
if. is welcome as an uplifting element in
the business situation.
