Cleveland, December 27.-(Special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Business transacted during the holiday season never furnishes safe basis for predicting the degree of pros
 perity which will prevail later in the year. but the length of vacations given employees of the mills indicates the pressure for the filling of orders al ready placed This year nearly all the mills of the central west rolling steel products resumed on the day following Christmas, but iron mills are operating very irregularly and al some steel mills in the eastern territory the period of idleness will be more extended than in the central west. Cessation of opera ton of the various plants of the United States Steel corporation will be shorter than for d number of years past. Orders had originally been issued for the bank ing of nine blast furnaces from Decem- Der g to December 31, but these have been rescinded and but two furnaces will be banked. During the past three or four weeks the shrinkage of pig iron stocks of the corporation has amounted to about 50,000 tons. Another furnace of the Ohio group at Youngstown has been ordered into blast. It Is expected that shortly after January the general operation of the Steel corporation will be considerably increased. The Colum- bus plant has recently been put in readiness awaiting orders for resump- ton and these will probably be forth coming about the middle of January.
 The sales of eastern domestic ore for delivery over next year have been made, amounting to about 150, 1000 tons for consumption of eastern blast bur naces. These are the first sales for 1912 delivery. The sellers of Lake Su- perior iron ores are not making any effort to contract at present. but favor waiting until market conditions develop more clearly and determine whether present prices will be asked for new ore There has been some decline in demand of pig iron owing to the inflence of the holidays but very fair tonnage has been disposed of during the past week
 The American Locomotive company
 which has been buying for it's various plants, has completed its purchases by contracting for a tonnage amounting to from 10,0 900 to 15,000 tons of foundry and basic for first half delivery.

ENSLEY GETS ORDERS
Mill Assumptions Tuesday Were Gen eral-Wire Mills Increasing Oper- ations-Furnace Have Orders
 for Months Ahead

New York, December 27-(Special.)- The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The buying of finished steel has continued on a scale that has broken the tradi- ton of a quiet market at the end of the year and has tended to establish the higher prices recently asked, particu- larly for bars, plates and structural steel. Buyers are not rushing in to cover for the future in the way that has been known to bring rapid ad- vances, and cautions against too fast a pace are gratuitous.
 Mill assumptions on December 26 were general and operations have increased this week at number of plants. The Chicago and Northwestern has bought 60. 900 tons of rails in the Chicago dis trict and the Soo Line 1S,000 tons. A number of smaller orders have gone to the Ensley mill. In the Pittsburg dis trict light rail specifications last were the largest of the veal for single week. The Baltimore and Ohio order is for 10000 tons. There are confident predictions by high authorities that large car buying will be seen early in the new year. The Rock Island has ordered 2500 cars and the Steel corpor- ation will buy 3O00
 The advance in steel bars to 1.15 cents Pittsburg has been well held There is more resistance to higher basis for structural shapes, but 1.15 cents appears to be minimum, while 1.20 cents has been in some cases. Plate mills in the central western and Chi cago districts have nearly four months work ahead, but eastern Pennsylvania mills are not so well off
 Wire mills are also increasing their operations, good orders having been taken on the $1.55 basis for wire nails. Wire prices are still low compared with those for the heavy products. For Bes- semer and open hearth billets s20 is now generally quoted, representing s1 advance. Forging billets are now S26 Pittsburg, an advance of g in two weeks. Sustained activity In pig iron in the central west, particularly at Buffalo and Cleveland contracts with quiet markets in the east and at Chi cago.
 Furnaces having orders for several prices, but sellers for the first half of next year at the recent level have not all disappeared.

and it had been accepted. AS there
seemed to be some opposition to this
among some members of the club, a
meeting was called for the approval or
disapproval of the boards action. The
meeting was held in the Woodman hall
and, besides the club members, there
was also present representative num-
Der of citizens.
After thorough discussion of the
subject the matter was put to vote
on the question "Shall the town board
grant an electric light franchise to the
Waubay Motor Sales Co., or to Web
ster parties?" By motion it was
almost unanimously decided to allow
all present, both club members and
others, to vote on the question. So
when the ballots were counted the
Waubay Motor Sales Co., had A votes,
Webster parties 5, and two blank bal
lots. This settles the matter, and the
franchise will be awarded to the Wau-
bay Motor Sales Co. The town board
c. c. Bush, town clerk, and DR.. Jen-
kins, representing the company, went
to Webster today to fix up the fran
chise, which appears elsewhere in this
issue.
