STEEL BUSINESS IMPROVES.
II Was Better in July Than Any
Month Since the Panic

The July business Of the steel mauufsc-
turing companies was the largest in anv
month since the depression started and II
would not be surprising # the new bust
ness of the Steel Corporation for Julv
and August averaged 5000 tons a dsv
which would be at the rate Of approxi-
mately 10000 tons Of steel produced fo-
sale a year.
The Steel Corporation has a capacitv
for selling close 10 1f.50000 tons Of steel
a year. but when the Gary plants and
other construction work now under vav
are complied the capacity will be close
to 100000 tons All the leading steel
manufacturers. including Y. E. Corev.
Charles NJ schwab. and John A. Ton
ping. take a very careful view OF the
situation and are positive as ever IN the
assertion that the steel business is on the
mend and that by the spring OF next
year normal conditions ought TO prevail
Producers and consumers seem to be A.
harmony regarding prices. an evidence Of
which IS found IN the liberal buying since
the beginning Of July. Very little Is now
heard regarding price changes. and the
Of opinion IS that the prevail

tried on the charge. each OF whom was

These cases of trespass were com
mitted in June. Constable Burch, who
made the arrests. has eight more war
rants for people in Richmond on the
same charge.
The company objects to persons
crossing the bridge because OF the dan
ger involved. There is a steep grade
on either side of the bridge, making II
necessary for trains to cross very rap
idly, and persons attempting to use the
bridge on foot would have little chance
of rescue after receiving notice OF an
approaching train.
