DEMAND FOR STEEL PRODUCTS.
Many Orders Call More Furnaces Into
Commission.

New York, June 6.-The movement
in finished steel produced since June
would indicate that the heavy buying
IN May was less speculative in char,
acter than was supposed. Specifications
have been coming TO the mills in larg-
er volume and the resulting demand for
crude steel has called a larger number
Of blast furnaces Of the steel corpora
ton into commission to supply steel
making iron.
The American Steel and Wire COM
pany shipped 1870 600 tons Of wire prod
ucts last month, breaking all such rec
0rds
There is still a large volume of bust
ness In sight for structural and fabri-
Gated steel, but many orders now COM
ing out are for small lots. The personal
business pending includes $1,000 tons
for the city hospital of san Francisco
and 1000 tons for the Denver Gas and
Electrict company.
Railroads have placed orders for ]. 100
steel cars and the Jersey Central win
make formal awards for 1900 cars by
the middle of the month.
Eoundries have bought less pig iron
since the May holidays and there have
been few sales Of basic. but there are
two important inquiries from eastern

MOST ACTIVITY
FOR TWO YEARS
d, S. SteeI'S Entry of France
Has Great Effect on New
York Market.
INTEREST IN RAILROADS
northwestern STATUS BE-
LlEVED TO BE FIXED.

New York, June 6.-There was a sud-
5en rekindling Of the speculative spirit
in the New York securities market last
week and toward the end Of the week
fhis resulted in a state Of extreme
activity not witnessed in the market
r5r more than two years past. Various
Incidents served TO awaken the market.
INT apparently it was the project to
introduce the United States Steel stocks
IN the Paris market which was Of most
effect
The great reserves Of French capital
comprised in the numerous small ac-
eumulatiOns of that thrifty people are
regarded as the most inviting field Of
supply for that attractive commodity
known 20 the financial world. Not only
does IL furnish an abundant supply, but
Investments once distributed among
French holders find lodgment so tenac-
ions and free from usual vicissitudes of
a constant shifting Of speculation man
auvers that stability is thus insured.
This fact. however, is regarded as the
most difficult of access by outside en-
terprise owing TO the combined effects
Of the extreme conservatism of the
French investor and the rigid require
ments of the French law and bourse
been found by the United States steel
sponsors to thread the labyrinth ap-
pealed Immediately to the speculative
sentiment.
It was reported that the plan for deal
ing I'M the United States Steel shares
I'm Paris would involve an accumula-
ton Of as much as a million shares
for Judgement in a trust, against which
certificates would be issued as the max
imum for transportations IN France.
The episode was regarded as adding
greatly to the prestige Of the stocks OF
the great American consultations and
10 be the outgrowth of the power Of re-
sistance TO the late severe depression.
An outburst in the transcOntinental
railroad stocks had its inception IN the
formal agreement made between the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific
for the joint use of trackage IN a re-
gion beyond Seattle This was inter-
preted as a definite treaty Of peace
between the two great railroad powers
and as furnishing final assurances
against such a damaging conflict as
was involved IN the contest for control
Of the Burlington.
limitations were circulated in Wall
street that the status Of the St. Paul.
Pacific coast extension was definitely
fixed, at the same time. This group of
railroads was affected further by the
Atchisons offer of $4,000. 600 Of con-
vsrtibie bonds and the consequent in.
suranCe of its financial resources
Rumors Of intended increase in the div
idends on Hartman railroad stocks and
Of an exchange Of Southern Pacific
preferred stock for common induced a
furious speculation in those stocks.

BENNETT GETS
LONG SENTENCE
Man Located by Salt Lake Of
ficerS Must Serve Thirty
Two Years.
TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF
ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST HIM
IN MONTANA.

BOzeman, Mont, June 6.-Trembling and
stammering, George Bennett was brought
into court here late last evening and was
sentenced by Judge Stewart TO serve
thirty-two years in the state penitenuary
for stealing a horse and saddle last fall
from Peter EIlingsen Of Central Park.
He had his head bandaged as a result of
his attempt Thursday night to beat his
brains out against the wall of his cell.
Sheriff Sales left early this morning for
Deer Lodge with Bennett.
The prisoner made another attempt
Friday night to take his life by running
his head against his cell wall. This makes
three attempts at suicide by him since
he has been confined in the county jail
here.
When Bennett finishes this sentence he
will have to face a charge in MeagheT
county Of assault with intent to kill. He
is now % years old. When y years of
age he was convicted of stealing horse
here and sent to the penitentiary for four
years. When released he returned here
to live and was working at different
places in the valley. Last September he
stole the horse and saddle belonging to
Ellingsen and started away with them
from Belgrade. He was pursued by the
officers, but succeeded in making his es-
cape.
Several ranehmen were deputized to
assist the officers in arresting him. Ben
jamin Hatfield of Sixteen Mile being of
the number. Hatfield and his hired man,
J II. Mehaffey, got on Benefits trail,
and when they tried TO arrest him, Ben
nett shot Hatfield through the abdomen.
A duel followed between the fugitive and
Mehaffey. Finally, Mehaffey shot with
his rifle at long range ard it is believed
hit Bennett in the leg.
After this shot Bennett left the horse
he was riding, threw down his weapons
and made his way through the timber,
Nothing more was heard of him until
about six weeks ago, when the Salt Lake
officers notified the local officers that
they believed they had located him IN
POcatellO. He was arrested and taken to
Salt Lake, where Sheriff Sai-5 secured
him,

of the fact that Pinchot vOuched for
Newell. 1t was in a large degree due
to this fact that the reclamation serv-
ice was an almost independent bureau
up to the time the Taft administration
opened.
Taft Leans c. Chief.
But President Taft is not a believer in
independent bureaus. He holds each of
his cabinet officers responsible for the
conduct Of all bureaus in their respec-
tive departments. 1t was so in the de-
partment of commerce and labor, when
he let out the director of the census
because that director was not working
along lines satisfactory to his superior,
the secretary. So II will be in the recla-
nation service if Secretary Ballinger
recommends a change later. Secretary
Ballinger is held responsible for the con-
duct Of the reclamation service and,
shOuldering that responsibility, he will
naturally place that service in the hands
of some man in whom he has every
confidence. It is a matter of fact that
at the present moment Secretary Bal
finger lacks confidence in Mr.. Newell
as an administrative officer.
Business Ability Desired.
Opinions differ as to the qualifica-
tions Of an administrative officer.
Heretofore a thorough and practical
knowledge Of engineering was COnsid-
cred the first requirement of the head
Of the reclamation service. But from
present indications 1t would seem that
business and executive ability, COM
mingled with a practical knowledge Of
the law, is regarded as more important
than capacity as an engineer. The rec
lamatiOn service has engineers in great
numbers: il has a chief engineer, con-
sulting engineers, district engineers and
an engineer and assistant engineers on
every project. Secretary Ballinger has
been impressed with this vast array of
engineering ability. but is not so i'm
pressed with the purely administrative
side of the service. That, he seems to
think, is not ND to the standard
AS stated above, il may be that the
impression thus far gained by the Sec
rotary OF the interior may be biased.

of the reclamation service. Because of
this fact, because there is room for
doubt. Secretary Ballinger will take no
radical action until he has made him
self more familiar with the true situa-
ton. But, as has been stated. the sec
rotary has a preliminary opinion, and
if that opinion is strengthened as a
result OF his investigation. a change is
