DUTY MUST BE PAID
 BY STANDARD OIL

Washington, August 1.-The Standard oil company will have to pay a duty of about 10 per cent ad valorem on oil 1t has imported into the Philippine islands since the new tariff bill became effec- tive, although oil under that measure is admitted into the United States and the Philippines free of duty.
 This imposition of the duty results from the fact that the oil in question, although of the growth and product of the United States" was put up in cans made from imported tin, on which the Standard Oil company had accepted a drawback, in view of the fact that the tins were for the export trade.
 Under a decision by Col. George c. Cotton. collector of customs for the Phil ippines, the contents of such containers are subject to the same duty as was ap- piled to the container when originally imported. Had the Standard not asked for and received the drawback on tin used In making its cans, its oil, together with the containers, would have been ad- mitted into the islands free
 The decision will apply to large quan- titles of canned meats, vegetables and fruits shipped to the islands as we'll as to other products.

 settler of Canton, which Is near the Canadian border, and the friends of the family are legion. This was one of the most brilliant wedding receptions that has ever taken place there. MT. Finch and his bride left last night for Saltwater camp, on the coast of New York, and the summer home of the Wells family. Here their honeymoon will be passed in sur roundings which are said to be the most picturesque in that section of the coun- try.

IRON TRADE IS IN
 VERY GOOD SHAPE Steel Corporation Will Mako New Records In Production = NEW FURNACES ARE BUILT Actual Sales in Pttsburg District Are Large and Inquiries Foot Up
 Heavily-RaIroads Placing
 Orders for Cars.

Cleveland, O., August 11-(Special 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The condition of the iron trade con tinues highly satisfactory. The first week under the new tariff gives little evidence of that measure affecting the trade in iron and steel products to any important extent this year. although there is much more inquiry for prices on foreign ma teral, on which duties have been reduced and English iron has advanced.
 There is some confusion in alloys and zinc has advanced in price. Scarcity of labor especially in machine shops and in mining operations, is becoming a factor of increasing importance. The United States Steel corporation will make new records in ore shipments and pig iron production this month.
 Surprising activity continues on Lake Superior iron ore, and 1t is probable that August will make new record for ship ments. Sales have been so heavy that tons, it is now evident that there will be no more than consumers require
 Announcements of new construction in- clude two new blast furnaces 10 open hearth furnaces, and a new structural mill by the Bethlehem Steel company and a blast furnace by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company to take the place of the smaller stack sold to Charpsville, Pa., foundry.
 A very decided increase of interest in steel making irons has been feature of the pig iron market in the central west.
 Some exaggerated Reports which are greatly deplored in the trade have been current, but actual sales in the Pittsburg district have amounted to 5000 tons, while inquiries foot up to about 15O,OOO tons. The Republic Iron and Steel com pany bought 15OOO tons of Bessemer for prompt shipment at s16, and Youngs- town company which was in the market for 25,000 tons succeeded in getting only 15,000 tons of Bessemer for last half de- livery at S16 valley. Another Pittsburg steel company is in the market for 25,OOO tons of steel making iron for forward de- livery. The Standard Steel Car company Is inquirng for 100000 tons of basic iron for delivery throughout the year 191o
 An interesting development in the Phil adelphia district in the uniting of the leading users of heavy melting steel scrap for the purpose of making their purchases through one agency.
 The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has purchased 10000 tons of rails from the Steel corporation. The Gould lines have ordered 10000 tons and the Chicago and Great Western 10000. The Lackawanna Steel company has sold 5000 tons of rails ot the Manila railroad.
 Recent car orders amount to fully 25- 900. The Pennsylvania has divided an order for S155 freight cars between the Standard Steel Car company and the Cambria Steel company.
