Buyers are scarce as winter sees many away. Southern iron men insist only southward investment and efficiency gains can keep Pittsburg and eastern producers competitive. Cotton manufacturers see duty cuts as nonthreatening or advantageous, while hats and shipbuilding groups anticipate price relief.
