be any marked Improvement before
Oct L. The iron trade is becoming
reconciled to decreased business from
certain industries. especially manufac-
turers of automobiles and lake ship
building concerns.
Specifications against contracts for
finished materials are coming out at a
very fair rate. but new business is
limited. Some concerns find that ton
mage already handled for little over
half of the twelve months insures a
good record. even If business should
become depressed for the remainder
of the year.
Weakness in prices of finished ma
terials continues to be feature of the
market, especially in steel sheets and
wire products. in which lines there is
much talk of an expected new card
naming lower prices. which have been
more or less general for some time.
Leading interests assert that no card
will be issued at present, but that
the situation will be met whenever
keen competition makes price conces-
sions necessary.
In the Chicago territory the price of
plates and structurals has fallen below
that of soft steel bars, which is a re-
NerSdl or form, due to the continued
good demand for steel bars and the
light business going in plates and
shapes
Steel Trade
An authority on the steel trade says
that conditions are by no means as I'M
favorable as they have been represent
ed In various reports recently made
public. He asserts that the volume
of business now being handled is as
large that of 1907, and has been as
large since Jan. 1 of this year as it was
during the corresponding period of
| 1907
According to this authoritys inform
alton the net earnings of the United
States Steel Corporation for the June
| quarter will closely approximate S40,-
/ 100000 and he believes that if the corn
crop turns out we'll the steel companies
will have a good average business
| throughout the rest of the year.

East Chicago. July 21.-The East
Chicago club has installed a billiard
table in it's rooms IN the Emery build

club chairs, TO conform with the general
style of the furnishings of the attrac-
tive club rooms which are done in Mis-

A number of the members are good

vides them opportunity to keep in

billiard and pool halls to do so. 1t will
also be the means of others not yet

manly sport.
The club is progressing finely. 1t now
has three large rooms in the Emery
building which it has recently redecor-
ated, adding to their attractiveness
There are forty-three members and on
Friday at special meeting to be held
by the organization a number of new
names will be acted upon
The club is on a paying basis. its
income equalling it's expenditures, and
the members feel that they are well
repaid for all that il costs them to be
affiliated with 1t. AS g. usual thing on
Sundays there are about twenty mem

the club affords and each others com

want. 1t gives respectable young men,
who otherwise would be forced into sa-
looms and cigar stores for much of their
recreation, an opportunity to meet each
other in a comfortable and social way
in a respectable place. provided with
sources of amusement of a clean sort in

GARY & MTERURBAn
CO.'S NEW CARS

Supt. Philips of the Gary and In
terurban line will make several changes
In the operating schedule of the sys-
tenn just as soon as the four pay-as-
you-enter cars are turned out from the
car shops. They are expected here next
month and when they are installed the
company will make all its cars OF this
type thus keeping the conductor on the

1t is highly probable that there viii
be three hourly trains operating be-
tween Hammond and Gary thereby hav-
ing a car leave both points every TWEEN

The traffic on the Gary Hammond
