STEEL MARKET
GROWS WORSE
Western Roads Must Buy Their
Rails in Foreign Countries.
RIO cRANOE IMPROVEMENTS
BURNING BRIDGE AT RIFLE DE-
LAYS WESTERN EIGHT HOURS.

A FEW months ago. when the con-
Il struction work ceased on some of
the railroads then building. the
reason given was that no rails could
be had, owing to the condition of the
steel market. A few believed il. But
there were others who didn't.
1t is months and months ago that
the steel mills commenced TO get be-
hind. Today the situation is no bet
ter than il was then. II is infinitely
worse. Manufacturers are falling
farther and farther behin9, in their de-
livv~ies. One of the primary reasons
for this Is the inability of the mills 20
get an adequate supply OF coke and
coal This is not the only reason, but
il is one of them.
In fact, the scarcity of fuel has forced
some of the largest eastern concerns
to work only four days in me week.
The Pennsylvania Steel company and
its sister concern, the Maryland Steel
company. are among those which have
curtailed activities owing to the lack
Of fuel. The United States Steel cor
poratlon Is said 10 be farther behind
in its deliveries than any of the in
dependent mills. Some of them are
several months behind In their orders.
The railroads, of course, are doing
considerable kicking. Some of them
have been forced TO delay until next
year the improvements they expected
TO undertake and new lines have been
seriously Handicapped, although some
of them have Jared better than the old
lines. Many roads had made arrange
ments to use rails which are not forth
coming. The steel companies are do
ing all they can, and while the rail-
roads have been reasonable, they have
naturally been much put out The
Pennsylvania company cannot supply
rails fast enough for its own needs.
II is expected that the output this
year viii exceed 10000 tons, and
while this is in excess of any previous
year. the requirements are greater than
ever before. English rail makers are
completing arrangements for a combi-
nation of interests. This is the first
American idea the English were ever
known to adopt 10 protect its industrial
interests.
Ordinarily the English steel manufac-
turers cannot compete with their
American rivals. Just now they are
doing il owing to the extraordinary
demand in this country. Under less
favorable conditions, however, the
English manufacturers are clearly out
classed. Their methods of manufacture
are out OF date and their mills are
more or less archaic. They have not
the labor-saving devices employed by
the American manufacturers. Our mills
require about rs per cent less labor
than the English mills to produce a
given amount of rails.

W. E. Crockett Relieved of Watch
and Money by Highwaymen.

W $1,000
w. f. Crockett, who lives at 446 West
Seventh South street. was held up and
robbed by two thugs near his home
last night. The footpads secured a
silver watch and some small change
from their victim, then made their es-
cape.
According to the story related to the
police by Crockett. he was going home
about midnight last night. when in a
dark place near his home two men
suddenly stepped from behind trees
and. leveling revolvers at him. ordered
him to halt He came 10 a standstill
and the men, he said, demanded to
know If he had any money. He replied
that he did not and one of them, he
claimed. placed a revolver under his
nose and ordered him 10 dig up"
Crockett protested that he had moth
ing. but the thugs seemed TO be doubt
full about this, and while one kept him
covered with a gun, the other searched
him, taking his silver watch and lit
tie more than dollar in change.
The thugs made their escape by run
ming into a vacant lot near the hiO
Grande ice house. Crockett went 20
his home and Immediately notified tEe
police. The officers promised to keep
a lookout for the watch and the
hOld-ups.

TO END RATE WAR.
Traffic Men Agree Not to Extend
the Present Rates

It is believed that the end of the
Colorado rate war is in sight. A meet
ing of the traffic managers of the vari-
Gus western lines was held in Chicago
several days ago and ways and means
for ending the bitter contest were dis
cussed. On iron and similar freight
the rates have been from 40 to so per
cent below the normal tariffs. To ag-
gravate the situation the merchants at
Missouri river points threatened to
make complaints 10 the interstate
commerce commission IL the railroads
did not cease TO make lower rates from
Chicago than from Missouri river
points to Colorado.
Owing 10 the fact that some Of the
roads have made contracts which do
not expire until the first of the year,
nothing could be done 10 improve the
situation at once. but the rates be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
have been equaliZed TO Colorado COM
mon points, and there viii be no ex-
tension of the tariffs after the present
contracts have expired.

Five Million Dollars to Be Put Into
Rio Grande improvements.


Rio Grande Improvements.
One of the results of the heavy traf-
fic accruing to the Rio GTande, which
has shared in the general prosperity
manifest on all western lines, is the
additions which the road proposes to
make to its rolling stock. President
Jeffery announces that the company
has placed large contracts for cars for
immediate delivery. This move has no
connection with the recent visit of Mr.
Gould, but is one of the conditions
forced upon the company by its rapid
ly increasing business.
Mr.. Gould is said to have paid par
ticular attention TO his rolling stock
and it is believed that his care and
thoroughness has to do with future
plans seeking the improvement of its
passenger service. 1t is understood that
the passenger earnings this year viii
show an increase that will break all
records of the company. 1t is also
stated that the company will put So
900. 900 into improvements. Immediate
ly, but it is not stated how the money
will be expended.
