lively inquiring. The Carnegie Steel COM
pany has taken 5000 steel wheels for the
Norfolk and Western.
The Illinois Central is about to close
for $500 additional cars. The Illinois Steel
company has closed an order for 1890
tons of Bessemer rails for northwest
ern system. The United States Steel
Products company has an order for $500
tons of rails for Argentine railways. The
Norfolk and Western has divided 5000
tons of bridge material about equally be-
tween the Virginia Bridge and Iron works
and the Pennsylvania Steel company.
Meters of pig iron are showing increas-
ing interest and are more active in sound
ing the market. In many cases orders do
not result. In some districts, especially
in Cleveland and Pittsburg, it seems prob
able that there will be further softening
of prices to be forwarded by an active
buying movement and price advances.
In the east also there is expectation on
the part of buyers that prices may go
little lower and the numerous pending in
quires Indicate an effort to determine
lowest possible prices. Eastern cast iron
pipe makers are still in the market and
are making some purchases. The outlook
for buying of basic in eastern territory
has improved and at least one large
steel company is expected in the market
some time this month. Basic in round ton
nages can be bought in the east at $17 so
delivered. A sale of basic to Pittsburg
melter indicates that the price is about
SIG 10 valley or $17 Pittsburg. There has
been some increases in stocks in eastern
Pennsylvania, but the general statistical
position of pit iron is sound. In the south
prices are still soft, and there is very
little tonnage being placed.

CRACKER INFIELD LOOKS
TO BE UNUSUALLY GOOD

Atlanta, March 12-(Specia1.)-If the
rest of the Atlanta team is in keeping

Southern league pennant.
Bill Smith has had some mighty good
lnfields since he has been managing teams
in the Southern league. but 1t Is the opin-

the present infield looks better than any
he ever had before.
Agler and AIperman at first and Sec

Wailie Smith, big six footer pur
chased by the locals from the st. Louis
Nationals, has far surpassed all expecta-
tions. He came here touted as a player
of merit and one that would nail down
the third base job without any trouble.
Smith went right to work upon report
ing. He has lots of pep. ambition to
return to the big show this fall and If
he is able to keep up his present clip,
there is no question of his going back.
Unlike most big men, Smith is far from
being slow.
Although his fielding is all that could
be desired, 1t is the big boys work with
the stick that impresses most. Southern
league pitchers are going to learn to fear
Smith all season.

CONGRESS TO DEAL
WITH SEAL PROBLEM
The Fur Seal Situation in
Alaska Must Be Dealt
With

Washington. March 12.-Among the
subjects not acted on by the expiring
Congress and which have gone over
for the new administration and Con-
gress to deal with is that relating to
the fur seals of Alaska President Da-
vid Starr Jordan of Stanford univer-
sity recently has pointed out that after
Is years of effort a treaty was made
with Great Britain, Japan and Russia
in 1911, abolishing pelagic sealing for
10 years. The United States agreed to
share its land catch with Great Britain
and Japan, owners of the pelagic fleet, in
return for the abandonment by their
citizens of pelagic sealing.
Later, however, Congress suspended
land sealing for five years. President
Jordan says this action causes de-
fault in the United States treaty obli-
cations. The resulting dissatisfaction.
he says, will lead to the possible alb
rogation of the treaty, with the re-
sumption of pelagic sealing and the
inevitable destruction of the seal herd
which already has been brought down
from some 100000 to 215,000 animals
at the present time. He adds:
1.-THE investigation of the past sum-
mer-the 1lrst season under the treaty
of July 7. 1911-made by G. A. Clark,
secretary Of Stanford university and
formerly secretary of the 1896-97 seal
fur commission, shows that the sus-
pension of the fur sealing is entirely
inadequate to stay the decline of the
herd and insure it's rapid recuperation
This investigation further emphasizes
the futility and danger of the pro-
posed suspension Of land sealing"
The views of President Jordan and
Mr.. Clark were made the subject of a
minority report from a congressional
committee at the last session. The ma
jority report of the committee dealt
mainly with the past administration of
the fur seal question and not the
treaty phase which President Jordan
and Mr. Clark maintain Is one of tho
chief features now requiring atten-
ton.

MUCH NEW Buying
OF STEEL PRODUCTS
Situation Surprising to the
Consumers
PIG IRON CHANGED
Large Specifications on Contracts
Indicate Confidence of Com
panies-Southern Iron
Is Weak

| New York, March 12-(Special) THE
| Iron Age will say tomorrow:
| Manufacturing consumers of steel pro-
duets reinforce the confident views of
the steel companies by continued large
| specifications on their contracts. 1t is
not surprising, with the heavy accumula-
tions on order books, that new business is
not up to the present record rate of
! output: the surprise is that there is so
much new buying.
| Chicago notes some shading of prices in
recent sales of axles, track fastenings
and tie plates, but these are conspicuous
exceptions. Considerable amounts of car
| material have just been placed for the
third quarter. The demand for struc-
tural material in the central west is now
more active than at any time since the
summer of 1912.
Bar mills are sold UP to an extent that
makes premium business surprisingly
large. Some mills have had to refuse
third quarter orders.
Under such conditions the outlook for
concessions on agricultural bar contracts
is not bright. The pig iron situation has
changed to one of larger inquiry in nearly
all selling centers, but with no increase
in sales. Foundry buyers are sounding
the market for third quarter and second
half, but are not disposed to pay prices
recently quoted.
Weakness in southern iron is more pro-
nounced. several furnace companies be-
ing disposed to meet the s13 level for
No. foundry fixed by resale iron.
In Chicago the central west and east
ern Pennsylvania foundry iron has de-
clined about % cents in the week.
Cleveland, o., March 12.-(Special.) 1.-The
Iron Trade Review tomorrow says:
Contracting for finished materials. es-
pecially for plates, shapes and bars, for
delivery throughout the remainder of this
year, and in some cases into next year,
is being done as rapidly as mills will
permit, some companies are contracting
rather freely at slight advances over pre-
vailng prices. but leading companies
which are not able to promise deliveries
on present contracts before the last quar-
ter of this year and in some cases the
1st of January, are declining to book ad-
ditional business.
Had the policy of the United States
Steel corporation permitted it could cas-
lily have booked orders for tonnages far
in excess of 10000 tons, the amount rep
resenting the reduction of untitled book
ings of the Steel corporation, according
to the recent statement. The corporation
will erect a large portland cement plant
in connection with its steel plant now be-
ing built at Duluth.
The new plant will have a capacity of
about 100000 barrels of cement annually,
and will cost about $2.0OO,000. Heavy rail-
road buying is still very important

ASK CONSIDERATION
OF MILITARY BILLS
French Professors Would
Go Slow in Adopting New
Military Plans

Paris, March 12.-Some opposition to the
immense and hurried increase of the
peace footing of the French army has
made its appearance. Some $50 professors
of the Serbonne. among them the finest
scholars in France, have issued a united
address to the people Of France not to
yield thoughtlessly ito the military panic
and to forces of reaction which tend to-
ward desperate adventures hostile to the
republican government"
The professors do not declare them
selves opposed to the suggested three
years period of service in the active
army, but ask for the fullest and most
thoughtful consideration of the situation
without haste and without excesses of
emotion.
Another declaration, signed by Anatole
France and several other members of the
French institute. literary men, scientists
and professors, was published today urg-
Ing calm consideration OF the proposed
military measures, (which If adopted will
profoundly affect the life of France both

number of members of parliament that
1t will not be necessary to rush through
