said S. G. Memory, line sales agent of
the D.. L. and w. Coal Company, to
a star reporter this morning.

owing to the fact, however, that
no coal was produced during the
two months of the strike, the
operators are far behind in their
winter reserve fund. and the present
temporary stringency results. At this

holiday business is growing, the rail-
ways continue to buy material in
volume and except in few lines of tex
tiles where tariff talk is In evidence,
optimism is notable.
The iron and steel line continues to
move at rapid rate. with some mills
unable to promise deliveries before
next August and the price situation Is
one of exceptional firmness.
Returns from Texas and the border

RECORD BROKEN
FOR IRON PRODUCTS
Business Continues to Ex-
pand Despite War
BIG PIG IRON ORDERS
Railroad Contracts This Week Total
About 1000 Tons-Strength De-
yelops in Dry Goods-Cotton
Yarns Higher and Steady
BIG PIG IRON ORDERS

New York, November 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly trade review tomorrow will
say: =
Business continues to expand unchecked
by the Balkan war with its European
demand for iron and steel products is
even larger than before. breaking all
records The railroads are making every
effoI to move promptly the tremendous
traffic of the country, and at the same
;imc are making due preparations for the
requirements of the future. There are
also signs of preparation for the opening
of The Panama canal.
Evidence of the expansion in iron and
steel was furnished by the increase of
over 100000 tons in the untitled orders
of the leading interests in October. This
gain may be attributed in part to the
steady development of new export bust
ress. Labor is now plentiful but the
steel mills are not operating quite up
to the high rate maintained last month.
Crude steel production has reached the
maximum and there is still scarcity of
material with premiums asked for the
small lots available in the heavies Pitts
burg plants are booked to capacity for
three-quarters of year ahead, and rail-
road contracts this week total about 1000
tons. orders for close to 1900 cars are
pending.
Increased orders for pig iron have been
placed and quotations are firm with only
moderate tonnages visible for deliveries
of spot.
Greater strength has developed in dry
goods, manufacturers of textile fabric
reporting sales in advance. Prints are
had more freely and recorders on shirt
ings and spring wash goods are more
general. Far eastern export trade has
been confined this week to sales of stand
ard drills to India, the miscellaneous for
eign markets being quiet In woolens,
stocks appear to have been cleaned away
better than usual. Business Is being Of
fered in all lines with freedom. Many
mills are so closely sold that they cannot
accept further orders. Cotton yarns are
higher and very steady, while worsted
yarns are firm.
Conditions in footwear are becoming
more satisfactory and spring business
now is up to the average in volume.
All kinds of shoe feathers are In grow
ing demand, and the market continues to
display exceptional strength with tanners
demanding further price inducements.
