New York, December. 1&--(Speeial) The Iron Age will say tomorrow:

The Hartman lines. which in the past F months have placed in successive orders total of 123.000 tons of rails in addition to their original contract for 1912,. have now closed for 2OO,000 tons for 1913.
 The inability of European rail mills to take ahy considerable further busi- ness for 1913 will bring a large Brazil ian order for Bessemer rails to this country.
 Chilli has made a contract calling for September rolling South Austria is in the market for 5000 tons.
 The weeks car buying has been heavy with d total of 13,000 to 15,000.
 Prices of finished steel in 1913 prom ise to continue substantially on to- days basis and consumers are work ing out of the strain they have been under in getting material. Steel sup ply will gradually increase, the Steel corporation will have nearly loo, 900 tons a month greater steel capacity by the end of the first quarter.
 The one definite advance in prices for the week was Sl a ton in wire pro. duets.
 An advancing tendency is noticed also in steel hoops On the other hand some concessions appear in bolts, shaft ing and wrought pipe.

Many consumers who were disappointed in not receiving deliver ies expected during the past six months are now coming in with their shipments specifications in order 10 insure place on rolling schedules as early in next year as possible. but as noted last week there is some decrease in new buying.

 Eastern makers of low. phosphorus pig iron gave about 10000 tons on their books for next years delivery, incIud- ing some for delivery throughout the year. There Is, however, no general interest in the pig iron market for delivery after July of next year. A St. Louis consumer of basic has purchased 5000 tons in Chicago territory. In Philadelphia territory, the largest orders are being taken by east iron pipe makers. One Delaware shop took 500 tons, and Norfolk & Western is closing for 5000 tons various foundry grades.
 Although carload lots of foundry grades have sold in valley at SIS the general price is s17.50 valley.

THE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALE

| The entertainment arranged by the
 music interpretation classes of the Cen tral high school was greatly enjoyed l yesterday afternoon by a large au- dience composed chiefly of the pu- pills of the school and tn 'ir parents.
 The first part of the programme was
 made up of solo numbers and the sec- ond part was a most interesting graph ophone recital of opera airs in con
 nection with beautiful tableaux.
 The programme was opened with a Chopin polonaise performed by Carl von Talben, Miss Florence Smith played
 violin solo, "Orientale," by Cui. This
 dainty little composition was played
 here by zimbalist Miss Smith revealed warm. full tone and her technique
 was musicianly. Jack Cousine sang "All
 for You,' by Guy d'Ardelot.
 Miss Rachel London played Cham
 inade's Air de Ballett' and she played it most artist-like. Not only was her technique ample but in expression and tone color there was nothing lacking. It was generally remarked among the
 musically educated that Miss London,
 as a pianist. compared well with many
 of the professional artists who are
 heard in high class recitals. Miss Mary
 Fabian made a wonderfully fine im- pression in a vocal solo, My Love Is
 Like a Red, Red Rose" by Hastings
 Part one closed with one of the gems
 of the programme. II was Miss Bettie Gilmorss harp solo, Tn a Garden" by Schultze. She is one of the few young harpists in Birmin gham. It was her first public appearance and she was cordially received She has tempera- ment and her playing was marked by clarity and grace.
