from the slowing down of output since the middle of the year. 4.i,
 For the fourth quarter considerable falling or is to be expected in earnings, as to thrilled orders the same can be said, unless large rall contracts come in to offset the steady reduction in other products. The Steel corporation is now operating 85 per cent of it's blast furnace capacity, AS furnaces being idle, against 45 at the opening of the month.
 Pig iron buying has increased in tho past week, but again prices have suffered and another has been added to the suc- cession of bottoms. Activity has been greatest east of the Alleghenies. Several important buyers are asking for iron for first quarter and first half of 1911.

 A BIT SQUEAMlSH

Norfolk. Va. October 26.-In one of the most sensational addresses ever heard in Norfolk, pr. E. T. Brady of Abingdon, Va, president of the vir- ginia Medical society. tonight startled 200 physicians who heard him.
 "Squeamishness is never sincere and sincerity Is my only excuse" said Dr. Brady. II am aware that I am touch- ing upon subject unusual in pub lie address. If the dose seems drastic rem ember that drastic measures are needed to put us in working condi- tion. isF
 We must give the situation frank recognition We are blindly following the fetish of business at the expense of fraternity.
 "Even the pathetic public is recog- mixing the possibility of race suicide. There are exactly $50 cold -blooded pre- meditated murders of defenseless in- nocents for every 500 children brought into the world. Think of 1t, and the large majority of these horrible crimes are perpetrated by so-called Christians and intelligent wives who thus. from their vaunted social height. give an example for a doctrine of convc and selfishness.

BETTER OUTLOOK IN
 THE IRON MARKET Heavier Buying Is Expected Soon After Election HESITANCY NOW EXISTS Trade Is Waiting Upon Political Events and Decision of Interstate
 Commerce Commission On
 Freight Rates
HESITANCY NOW EXISTS

Cleveland, O., October 26.-(Special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Some large industrial companies, espe- cially in the east, are showing more willingness to take up the pig iron prop ositions, and other indications of the approach of heavier buying are not lack ing. There is, however, still considera- ble hesitancy in the market, but the atmosphere will be clarified after the elections, and after the attitude of the interstate commerce commission concern ing freight rates shall have been def nitely determined. While there is a wide diversity of opinion In the iron trade as to the justice of granting higher freight rates, the steel companies are united in the policy of requiring buyers to pay the additional freight charges
 The Carnegie Steel company is mak ing every possible effort to give prompt delivery from its Pittsburg warehouse, and it is evidently succeeding to a cer- tain extent, but in some cases salesmen representing the Pittsburg warehouse have not been cordially received by buy CTS who for a long time have been &C., customed to deal with jobbers. Prices remain the same under the new condi- tions.
 Cast iron pipe interests have again been heavy buyers in eastern territory. Thirty thousand tons of basic, for which inquiry has been pending for several weeks, has been taken by an Ohio firm. The lead ing radiator company is reported to have purchased 10000 tons through it's Chicago office for eastern plants. In the Pitts burg district there has been increased activity and sales of about 30,000 tons ranging from 1000 to 5000 tons have been made, including 5000 tons of basic for this years delivery slightly below the basis of $13. valley, and 5000 tons of basic to a Canton. O.. interest for first quarter for delivery at about SIS, valley.
 Review of the Iron Age
 New York october Especial 1.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The feel ing is general that iron trade conditions. while they may not change decidedly for the better in the near future, are not likely to grow worse.
 Consumption in all lines apart from the railroads has been maintained with stead mess in the past two months and 1t is expected that whatever improvement comes this year will be almost exactly measured by the business the railroads place.
 Rail requirements for 1911 are being made up and in the case of several i'm portant roads will be close to the total taken this year, with the proviso that the outcome of the rate hearings is such as to strengthen railroad credit
 The Steel corporations report of earn ings for the third quarter of the year was better than might have been expected
