Big CONTRACTS
LET FOR Pig IRON

New York, October 16-Contracts for
pig iron were placed last week aggre-
eating 100000 tons, of which 10000 tons
| were bought in the east and $1,000 tons
| in the west and central west The in
| creased activity was due to the willing
ness of furnaces to accept the prices cur
rent for the last quarter of this year
for the first quarter of next. Basic iron
In the central west made new low
record. SIS. at the furnace; otherwise
! there was no essential change in prices
The United States Steel corporation
has blown out another furnace, and its
output of pig iron is now 661a per cent
Of capacity, and the production of the fin
ishing mills has dropped below 70 per
cent on the general average
Wire products continued quite active
and agricultural implement manufacture
ers placed some contracts for steel bars
last week for delivery up to April, 1911
Railroads did not increase purchases OF
equipment, and most orders for bridges
and terminals are still mainly held in
allegiance. Contracts for fabricated
structural steel aggregated 1900 tons, of
which only 1000 tons were taken by the
American Bridge company
The United States government has final
ly asked for tenders on the postoffice
building to be erected at the Pennsyl-
vania terminal, New York city; about
| 1900 tons of steel shapes are required

SHIPPING TIED UP
ON FLORIDA COAST

Tampa, Fla, October 16.-After wander
ing aimlessly around in the Gulf OF
Mexico for As hours the West Indian
storm has again recurved. and is now
headed toward the Louisiana and Texas
coast, according to the latest obserya-
tions. Storm warnings have been ordered
up all along the Louisiana coast.
Weather condition, along the Florida
west coast are still such as to keep ship
ping tied up, unusually heavy seas, with
occasional severe squalls, making 1t I'M
profitable if not dangerous for vessels,
especially sailing vessels, to venture out.
The position of the center of the storm
during the last "a hours changed but
little, according to official weather ad-
vices, but today it seemed to strike di-
rect course to the northwestward, still
moving very slowly
| A wireless message from the steamship
Creole at South Pass (out of MississippD
reports a rapidly falling barometer and
| stiff northeast winds. The lowest barom-
| eter reading reported by the Creole is
| 29. Go. A wireless from the steamship
Proteus in latitude 26 N, longitude IS w
reports intense northeast winds, accom-
panied by heavy rain squalls. The Pro-
| teus reported barometer readings as low
as 29.4O, indicating that she was very
near the vortex of the storm.
| Local Forecaster Wurtz stated tonight
that there is no probability that the
storm will reach the Florida coast, and
that it is highly possible that 1t will be
dissipated in the gulf.

OSTRACISED PEOPLE
FLEE INTO SPAIN

Madrid, October 16.-It is estimated that
the thousand members of the Portugal
religious orders expelled from their coun-
try have taken refuge in Spain, where
they are now being distributed among
the converts and monasteries in various
parts Of this country. 1t is believed tina.
this will render very difficult the ex-
pusion from Spanish territory of those
not of Spanish origin.
The accounts of attacks upon religion
ists In Portugal have greatly alarmed the
Spanish orders in the various provinces
and it is supposed that they are strength
ening the converts and monasteries with
Iron doors and shutters and are laying
In stores of arms and ammunition.
The parade of the republicans was held
this afternoon in celebration of the re-
public of Portugal. The parade passed
through the principal thoroughfares. Per-
feet order was maintained

the republican party which it will long

Martin Discusses Roosevelt
IF the nomination of Colonel Roose-
welt by the republicans depends upon his
ability to carry a single southern state,
the members of that party opposed to
nomination." said George L. Martin of
Atlanta tonight Mr.. Martin for 20 years
has been member of the North Carolina
general assembly. Although his present
term has not expired, he now is a resi-
dent of Atlanta, to which city he recently
removed.
II was in Atlanta the day Colonel
Roosevelt made his recent Speech" con-
tinued Mr.. Martin, land the man GER
tainly was given a most remarkable oya-
ton. 1t rained, but the crowd that turned
out to hear him was very large. But
While many people of the south are taken
with the personal magnetism of tho man
and like to hear him speak, it is quite
different proposition to consider him
as their candidate. Of all who heard
him and who assisted in making his ap-
pearance there the spectacular thing 1t
was, | believe that not a man except
those who ordinarily vote the republican
ticket would support him and it is doubt
full even If he would get the total re-
publican vote of Georgia. 1t Is one thing
to cheer and applaud and quite another
to give the recipient of this adulation
ones suffrage"

GOULD CANNOT MARRY
GIRL WITHIN ENGLAND

London, October 16.-(Specia Cable.)-
1t was learned today that Frank J. Gould
and Edith Kelly, the Panama Girl
in Havana, who attempted to be married
in England, have been obliged to cross
the border line to Scotland to have the
ceremony performed. The regulations of
the English church regarding the remar-
riage of divorced persons are very strict
and Mr.. Gould, finding there was rigid
barrier against the marriage in England,
is taking his prospective bride to Scot
land where marriages on the Gretna
Green principle are easy and the contract
ing parties are not annoyed by ques-
tons
The ceremony, it is understood, will be
performed at Abbottsford, the former
home of Sir Walter Scott, which hal
been leased by Mr.. Gould and which II
is believed he intends to acquire as 8
permanent country seat.

WORLDS WHEAT CROP
IS REPORTED GOOD
Southern Hemisphere Crop
Will Be Second Largest
EUROPEAN CROP rs LOW
Report of Seven Countries Is Given
Compared With Last Year and
shows Decrease of $780,
100000 Bushels

Washington, October Interviewing
the condition of the foreign whea crops
the United States department of agri-
culture in its monthly crop report an
nounces the promise of good yields in
The southern hemisphere. Although a
deficiency of about 95,0Oo.000 bushels is
reported for Europe, in comparison with
the highest record. still the crop prom
ises to be the second largest the con-
tinent has produced. The report OF
the agricultural expert says:
Now that supplies to be expected
from European and North American
tention in worlds markets is concen-
trating with more than usual interest
on crop conditions in the southern hem
isphere, particularly those of Austria
liza, Argentine and British India, whose
winter and spring harvests are to Eu-
rope important sources of supply at a
season of the year when surplus stocks
in exporting nations of the northern
hemisphere are likely to be depleted
alton In each of the three countries
to be, with one possible exception, OF
good promise.
Australian wheat is growing on a
probably increased area and the out
look is for full yield. In Argentine
prolonged drouth in the northern part
of the grain belt has done as yet an
understandable amount of damage but
throughout the central and southern
vegetation is reported flourishing. In
India seeding is being effected under
assuring conditions. Excepting possibly
Argentine, present appearances in the
principal producing countries of the
southern hemisphere inspire hope for
a repetition of the excellent results of
last season.
The just completed European wheat
harvest has given smaller quantitative
results than last year, and. owing to
exceptionally wet harvest weather in
many of the states, an unusual proper
ton of the grain is of inferior quail
ity. Last year the total yield of Eu-
rope, according to the best available es-
Inmates, was 1870 900, 600 bushels and
constituted a record exceeding the high
est previous yield, 1906, by 16, 600, 900
bushels. This season Notwithstanding
bounteous harvests in the Danubian
and Balkan states. the total European
out turn principally because of disas-
trous results in France and decreased
production in Russia, has fallen so .00O,-
600 to 100000 short of last years
Official returns are In from seven
states which in 1909 produced 81 per
cent of the wheat crop of Europe
yields in bushels in these states, COM
pared with 1909, follow:
