STEEL PRODUCTS HIGHER
Plates, Bars and Structural Ad-
vanCed 81 a Ton.

Most of the large steel manufacturing
concerns announced yesterday that they
had made or were about to make advances
I'm the prices of certain steel products. their
statements bearing out the positive pr'.dic-
tons Of higher quotations which have been
made within the recent past The first
move was made by the Jones & Laughlin
steel Company, which announced that its
prices for steel plates and bars and struct-
ural steel had been raised 81 ton. effective
July I. Similar announcements we're made
I'm the course of the day by the Republic
Iron and Steel Company and the Cambria
steel Company. the new schedules of which
went into effect at once.
The price changes bring bars up from 81 y
to 81 % 100 pounds and steel plates and
structural steel from 81 % to 81 80 100
pounds Notice was given by the United
states steel Corporation and by the lacka-
wanna Steel Company that they had de-
cided to make the same price advances as
those Of the Jones & Laughln, the Repub-
lie and Cambria companies.
The higher prices. 1t is said in the trade
are fully justified by legitimate demand.
Premiums have for several months been
paid on bars. plates and structural steel by
buyers DESTROYS of quick delivery. and the
volume Of buying is still In excess of pro-
ductlon. Structural steel and plates, at the
new prices just established are yet 81
ton under their level of June, 1911, and
further rise in price is regarded as prob
able.
The from Age" says of the new prices:
Time will determine the extent to which
the new prices can be established. They
represent a very considerable increase III

steel TO manufacturing buyers. when com
pared, for example. with l.05c and l.lOc
for steel bars early in the year. But
many consumers Of bars are covered 10

while the agricultural implement makers
will receive deliveries over the iirst halt

this wear The factor of most weight as
bearing on the amount Of new business In
these three important lines I'm the summer

MORMONS KEEN AS A TRUST
AS Directors They Pleased Have
never, Saws LAWYER.

Mormonism was injected into yesterday
session of the so-called sugar trust hear
ing. when Mr.. Knapp. the Assistant United
States Attorney, tried to show that n. ..
Havemeyer, who dominated the Utah-ldaho
Sugar Company had such respect for the
power of the Mormon Church that he did
not exert control over the companies in
which he had purchased a half interest
II had already been shown that Mr..
Havemeyer's tactics I'm Colorado differed
greatly from those he employed i'm the
Mormon stronghold. In the former state
he replaced almost all the original directors
with friends Of his own. whereas in Utah
he let the directors remain undisturbed.
Mr.. Knapp endeavored to bring out that
a majority of the directors of the Titan
company were Mormons. The word Nor
mon" aroused storm of protest from
Frank l.. Crawford. attorney for the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company. and from
Major Richard Young. counsel for ThonaS
r. Cutler. vce-president Of the Utah-ldaho
Sugar Company, who was on the witness
stand. Mr. Crawford said that the religion
of any parties involved in the case was
entirely irrelevant
The prosecutor stated that he had no in
tention of inslnuating that the Mormon
Church was party to tho conspiracy
charged I'm the present suit. lie then tried
10 establish the fact that practically all the
beet raisers i'm Utah and Idaho were Nor
mons. Mr.. Cutler said he doubted II that
were So In one territory, at least, Nampa,
there was not Mormon engaged in sugar
beet raising.
Mr. Knapp wanted to know If the COM
munity feeling for the welfare of each
member In u Mormon community was not
greater than IL usually was IN other places.
Mr.. Cutler replied that he thought compeu-
ton was Just as keen between Mormons as
hetueep Now York business men.
