STEEL OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR DELIVERIES IN 1871

terials nave developed no news or I'M
portance.
IN pig iron the market has continued
generally on a small scale and prices
of some grades have been weak. The
American Radiator Company is reported
to have taken so, 900 tons of foundry
in all contracts. A meeting of makers
to prevent the sort of competition that
has carried selling prices below the
cost of production has been held. In
the eastern markets there mas oeen
good buying of basic. southern No. ,
has sold at 81 in the birmingham dis
trict, and buyers are still unwilling to
pay the advance asked for 1911 deliv-
cries. In the Chicago market there
have been no conspicuous pig iron
trades, but a fair volume OF small bust
ness. The records IN iron production
in October are expected to show u de-
crease. Several more furnaces have
gone out of blast.
The shutting down OF a large number
of tin plate mills, previously reported.
has attracted much attention in the
trade. Curtailment is usual at this
season, but this year it has been more
extended than ordinarily. However
progress on the construction work of
the 16 miles which the American Sheet
and Tin Plate company is building in
Gary goes on undated.
In 1909 over 74.5 per CEN of the
total production was cut from steel
plate and a little less than 25.5 per cent
was cut from iron plate. while in 1908
over els per cent was cut from steel
plate and a little less than 5z.5 per
cent from iron plate. The maximum
production of iron and steel cut nails
and cut spikes was reached in 1886,
when S.16O,973 kegs were made.
Thirteen works in six states made cut
nails in 1909, as compared with fourt-
teen works in seven states in 1908.
Eight works were idle in 1909.
In 1909 exports of cut nails and cut
spikes amounted to 2e,256.45S pounds,
or 232.565 kegs of 100 pounds, against
15,731,S9S pounds, or 1919 kegs in
1908. Imports of both wire and cut
nails are only nominal.

BY far the most important recent
development in the steel trade has
been the preparation for the buying OF
rails for 1911 delivery. An indication
of this is afforded in the fact that the
rail mill of the Gary steel works is
operating on a more active basis. The
amount of actua business placed has
not been large, but the prospect is con-
sidered excellent. The Erie is reported
to have closed contracts for 3s, 900 tons
of rails and other important lines are
expected to follow in the very near
future with orders for larger amounts.
The Pennsylvania and the New York
Central requirements for the coming
years are being figured and estimates
are being formed by some of the larger
western roads. 1t is believed confident
ly that a large buying movement in
rails will follow any certain sign thai
the railroads are to get any considera-
BILE part of the freight rate advance
they are seeking.
While rail prices remain the same
SIS for Bessemer and $50 for open
hearth in long tons-the quotations in
| the future will be by pounds-1.25 cents
per pound for Bessemer and 1.34 for
| o~pen-hearth. This puts the quotations
on rails on the same basis as the quo
tations for other finished steel pro-
ducts.
While there has been no change thus
far, it Will be much less noticeable to
alter the price of rails on the new basis
of quotations than the old. The SIS
quotation on Bessemer rails has stood
virtually without change since the for
nation of the United States Steel Cor
poration nine years ago.
Buying of railroad equipment has
been more active recently. The Lacka-
wanna has placed an order for 1000
freight cars and the Pennsylvania will
build 500 steel underframe cars at 1t:
Altoona works. The Haw1ey roads arr
on the market again with their old in
quiry for cars.
In general lines of finished steel ship
ments recently are reported to have
outrun considerably the new orders
that ave been booked. Structural ma

and following it, according to the Post,
the machine sped on without an at
tempt on the part of the occupants to
ascertain the identity of the victim nor
the extent of the injuries. Maremont
was arrested in East Chicago by the
Gary police soon after the occurrence.
The statement in the Post which has
stirred up all the trouble was one which
named Mrs. Abe O~ttenheimer as a party
to the incident. Mrs and
Mrs. Julius Friedman were named by
the Post as occupants of the car which
ran down the Mathies boy.
AS a matter of fact, neither Mrs.
Friedman nor Mrs. Ottenheimer were
passengers in the ear and knew moth
ing of the accident until later. Those
who were in the car. however. were,
besides Abe Maremont, Dave Camp
bell, Louis Berman and Nellie Win
gate, the two last named of Chicago.
Maremont took out the automobile
without the owners consent, according
to julius Friedman.
After the Gary Post appeared with its
sensational account of the accident
Mrs. Ottenheimer called up II. B. Sny-
der, the editor of the publication. and
told him what she thought of him and

impressing upon the people of East Chi

hoses with receptacles for mail. to be
in readiness for the free delivery which
is to be inaugurated Jan. 1.
THE people should be made to under
stand" said he, that carriers are not
required to deliver mail to any houses
not so provided. The carrier is not
obliged to wait for any response to his
ring or knock announcing the fact that
he has mail to deliver. His working
day is limited to eight hours and his
route is so arranged as to permit of
no unnecessary delay.
Those who do not care to go to the
expense of providing themselves with
the regulation mail box, need not do so.
A cigar box with a slit in it, or in fact
anything that will serve as a reasonable
safe receptacle for mail, is accepted by
the carrier.
Another thing that h~ouseholders
should understand is that all houses
should be numbered. 1t is not within
the scope of the carriers duties to stop
to figure out what number appertains
to what house. Letters are expected to
be properly addressed n to agree with

The Press Agent.
Everything went swimmingly. The
promoters knew the first reports of
Belle Gilmore being alive would find
front page space in all the metropolitan
papers on a Monday morning. They
figured correctly for the most valuable
kind of press matter relative the pseudo
Belle Elmore went over the county. A
follow up story was needed for Tues
day morning according to the press
agent for the syndicate. 1t was given
TO the Hearst papers in the form of a
mysterious telephone message from a
Chicago drug store to the effect that
Belle Gilmore is alive and that she was
staying in a boarding house in Ham
mond near the public library. Report
ers were rushed to the scene, while the
headliners and the artists prepared the
stuff for the front page make up. In
another newspaper office the force
worked on another theory, the only cor
rect theory, that the whole affair was a
frameup. Attorney Bob Cantwel1 and
Jack Curley, athletic promoter, both
ofChicago, were found on the string
ing end. But the story that appeared
in The Tribune this morning was SO
entirely different from what Cantwell
and Curley expected that they both
appear ridiculous. And that will be
about all there will be Of the Belle
Elmore who was reported living in a
boarding house near the Hammond
