His argument was that if the Connecticut company could give that rumber of tickets for quarter in Wa terbury and Meriden they could do so in this, a much larger city. Henry Donovan backed MT. Leigh up. They both want the aldermen to take the question up with the State railroad commissioners. Traffic Manager Har- Ian, a representative of the company spoke against the six for a quarter plan. saying the company could not af- ford to do that in this city He also explained the reasons why Waterbury ard Meriden are getting six tickets for 6 quarter.

The latter, to whom French custom accords title that of prince---is a cousin of the scount. and he has figured more or less in the affairs of the Castellanes.

studebaker Machine of 2500 Pounds Now Exhibition by
 Holcomb Go. at Auto Show.

the commercial "Electric" occupies a field by itself and our prominent New Haven merchants have already made numerous inquiries in the few hours the car has been on view As expressed by one of the Studebaker representa- tives, it Is ''the car that delivers the goods"
 The Studebaker Go. has sent two demonstrating oars to New Haven, one five passenger gasolene touring car, and the other an electric Victoria phaeton. Both of these cars will be used about the city during the pro- gress of the show to meet the many demands of Connecticut automobillsts who have taken an unusually active in- terest in the "Studebaker" It may be remembered that the Stakeholder gaso- lene car was selected by General Grant of New York in the tests of automo- piles as dispatch cars a few weeks ago A message was carried from Gov ernor's Island, New York, to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Starting six days after the New York to Paris" racers the. Studebaker car proved it's reliability and quality by beating all of the racers into Chicago and was three days ahead of the leading car at Omaha where the routes diverge. The five passenger gasolene car now on demonstra tion in New Haven is an ex- act duplicate in the chassis of the | phenomenal War Test Car"
 The Electric passenger car is gain- | ing many friends in New Haven and vicinity on account of being ideally adapted for professional service and ] ladies use, and we venture to suggest I that the time is not far distant when the old prophecy, 'the passing of the horse" will be an accomplished fact.

An order was filled only two days ago by the New York branch house of the Stude- baker Go. for an ambulance car com. pletely equipped for the United States

IMPROVEMENT IN
 IRON INDUSTRY Railroad Tonnage Is Increasing Greatly in the West OPTIMISM IS BORNE OUT Confidence of Operators In Steel and Iron That Trade Will Improve Is Justified By Evidence Now
 Quite Apparent.

Cleveland, O., July 15.-(Special) 1.-The iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The Improvement in finished lines, not ably bars, merchant shapes and wire products, continue to be well sustained. The implement makers are specifying freely and the tonnage that is being re ceived from the railroad, particularly in the west where preparations are being made to move the crops, is larger than i has been at any time this year. There IS clearly evidence throughout the iron and steel industry of an optimism which IS now really being felt. The competition of Ohio irons has raised the prices in the local grades in the Chicago district While Eastern Pennsylvania operators are ask ing higher prices for fourth quarter de- livery, despite the limited demand, slign. concessions are also reported on steel making grades for spot shipment in the valleys The market in all centers is stagnant, the demand for foundry grades being limited to immediate requirements. Pittsburg reports the sale of 5000 tons of basic, and 15OO tons of No. ? foundry have been taken by Cleveland cast iron pipe interest By the terms of the ba- il on wage settlement the puddlers anl 1nishers agree to accept reductions vary have, however, not been approved by the Republic Iron and Steel company, whoss iron mills continue idle. second con ference will be held with the Amalgamated association this week

 The iron markets have gained during the past few weks, and the gain, while slow, Is being maintained But conditions are still far from satisfactory and at the present rate of progress it will take many months until we are back to the normal
 The Steel corporation Is now operating close to 55 per cent of its capacity. Dur. ing the past week six blast furnaces have heen started by subsidiary companies re- flecting the increased requirements
 The settlement of the bar iron wage scale, which governs the union iron mills removes almost the last of the wage ques- tions It is figured that this is equivalent tc reduction of between and per cent Generally speaking, the pig iron markets are dull, and in some quarters are easier Southern iron which was sold In soma sections on basis fo $11 .50, Birmingham while it was held at s12 in others, is now casing toward the lower figure in the lat Ter.

Eastern cast iron pipe interests have covered some tonnage during the past few days, the aggregate being about zl 900 tons. Some iron has also been pur- chased for the same purpose in the west
