 Plant At Ens1ey
BIG ORDER FOR ENSLEY

New York, January Especial )- The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The steel manufacturers met expectations at their New York conference last week in the unanimity with which they favored holding present prices. Apart from pig iron producers who saw nc early prospect of betterment in their industry, those who attended found req son for taking more hopeful view of the situation. This feeling has been communicated to sales organizations and has been reinforced by better buy ing in some lines. with the result thai the net balance of the weeks market reports is on the side of improve ment
 The chief item in the rail trade is the closing of three export contracts Argentine lines have taken 15,000 tons from the Maryland Steel company and $500 tons from the Steel corporation and the latter has closed 5000 tons for a Mexican line. The Tennessee com pany's mill has started rolling on the Louisville and Nashville order of S0, 900 tons already announced but the re- port of 42,000 additional from the same line Is a fiction. The Gary rail mill has also started up, while the South Chicago mill has closed down.
 British tin plates have advanced six pence box in two weeks, and the placing of further re-export business with American mills is unlikely. Can adian inquiry for tin plate in this country is also more active.
 Pig iron has been bought more free ly but, as happened over and over in the past year. where volume has grown prices have shrunk.
 Pittsburg reports considerable pig iron inquiry. A pipe foundry in west ern Pennsylvania is said to have bought t 3O,000 tons of gray forge from a nearby furnace. An eastern pipe company took 10000 tons half No. 4 southern iron, on which the price was s10 Birming gham

One day the well known and brilliant
 writer, MT. James Huneker, was putting
 on paper few thoughts about Johannes Brahms and his work, and he wrote this sentence:
 "Al great works of art are the arduous victories of great minds over great imag- nations Of course, it is not with Brahms that this story has to do, but with the force of Mr. Huneker's statement, which pro- voxed the thought in my mind that the apprecative audience that enjoyed the superb programme which MT. Francis Macmillen gave yesterday afternoon might easily apply the reflection to this splen- did vioinists beautiful art. It is the art of playing the violin as most violinists dream of playing 1t. Mr. Macmilen does!
 One aspect of his playing is magnh- cent-its rhythmic energy, which, after all, is the main thing in violin playing. A beautiful tone he has always at com-
 mand, and facile technique, but 1t is
 his accent, his emphasis, that make his
 music eloquent; makes it as he chooses to I1dh6 ll--lOWs SOlly lOuus cSotebtiSs se't
 suous, merry, exultant, despairing-but always beautiful
 In a little chat with Mr. Macmillen l asked him if his great gift of music was an inheritance; if he came of musical family.
 He replied:
 "The opponents of the scientific theory of predispesition, when called upon now adays to defend their theory, might easily take me as one of the living proofs of their contention, that the parent by her thoughts and actions prior to birth can influence the future of her child. My mother had long desired son who would be musician. Failing in her endeavors to develop the spirit of musicianship in her two oldest sons she sought by every deed, thought and action prior to my own birth, to influence my nature into taking to musical paths She renewed her studies of music in every branch with greater vigor than ever. She delved into .har- mony; practiced for hours every day on the piano; took up singing again, after having abandoned it for years; read the lives and studied the ScoTes ol dii .tHc great composers; in fact, she left no stone untilrned to bring about the desired re- suit. How well she succeeded may be judged from the fact that at the age of began to play the violin. At l began my studies"
 with whom?' I asked.
 My first teacher was Robert Brain, and I studied in this country for some time, afterwards going abroad. In fact when I was 10 years old I went to the Royal High School of Music in Berlin, and had an interview with the great Dr. Joseph Joachim about entering the school. Pupils were not admitted until they had reached the age of IS, and I recall distinctly how my mother argued for me with pr. Joachim, and finally persuaded him to hear me play re- member also that, after I finished, was hugged very tight by the great big man, who had gathered me up in his arms However even with Dr. Joachim's in- fluence we could not persuade the direc-

If the Clark presidential boom makes land ing at the national convention next year, Glenn may be chairman of the democratic national committee. He neither drinks, smokes nor chews.
 Insurgents Looking Ahead
 That the position of the democrats that the republicans should name their own minority committee members in the next House Is well taken is very evident from the talk going on among republican mem bers of both Cannon and insurgent wings. Instead of one republican caucus there probably will be two-the one composed of the adherents of Cannon and the other composed of opponents of the present speaker. It is reported that the insur- gents of the House believe that they should not be left to the tender mercies of the regulars and will therefore, de- mand that they be recognized on their own rights for committee places in the next EOuSe. The insurgents cidilu Witii some degree of justice that if Cannon is made the minority leader and his recommendations are accepted by the democratic caucus next December, the insurgents will get decidedly the worst of it.
