ORDERS STEEL CARS
Contract Placed for 35, 800
Tons of Steel Plates
and Shapes

New York September 20.-The steel
mills reported fair volume of business
in rolled products the past week. The
main features of the week were increased
purchases of miscellaneous products not
usually considered in current records.
Another point of interest was the plac-
ing Of contracts for 5000 tons steel
plates and shapes by the Haskell & Bark
er Car company to cover the construction
oe $500 cars for the Northern Pacific, the
business going to the Illinois steel COM
pany.
Buying elsewhere of railroad equipment
was limited. One notable contract, how
ever. was $500 tons standard 9O-pound rails
/ for British Columbia The United States
government distributed orders for six tor
pedo boat destroyers among eastern ship
yards, and the construction of 12 other
boats Is pending on the eastern coast and
on the lakes. calling for an aggregate of
25 600 tons steel plates.
Semi-fnished steel is being offered more
freely in the east, including bilets by
the Southern Steel company at less than
$2o delivered in eastern Pennsylvania,
subject to So freight rate.
Some rumors were that offerings had
been as low as SIS at southern mills.
More general interest was shown in
steel building and bridge work, although
the aggregate tonnage of plates was not
large.
! Merchant sales of pig iron were more
limited, but approximately $50 600 tons
have been placed under contract for Sep
tember nearly q third of whch was
