STEEL MARKET
BACK TO NORMAL
Quick Recovery From Flood.
Orders Pouring In to
the Mills

New York, April 12.-The steel market
has quickly returned to normal condi-
tions after disorganizhuon caused by the
floods. A great deal of replacement work
will have to be done and already orders
are pouring into the mills 1t is under
stood that the Pennsylvania railway Will
spend 100000 on replacements and the
Baltimore and Ohio 100000 and other
roads in the flooded districts will have
10 spend proportionate amounts
In other steel branches there has been
big amount of new work contracted,
among the orders being one for 100 tons
of structural shapes for San Francisco.
Western roads are making heavy de-
mand for track supplies because of the
destruction by floods. There is big de-
mand for wire products to replace Rail-
roads need spikes badly to repair flood
damage.
The increase in ship building tonnage
on the Atlantic coast has been great, ris-
ing from 64,0o0 tons for the nine months
ending March. 1912, to 161 600 for the same
period this year while the total engaged
output of the United States for the lat
ter period was 260265 gross tons. Most of
the shipbuilding plants have enough busi-
ness on hand to keep them going for the
next Is months. Untitled orders on the
books of the various subsidiaries at the
end of March were 7.46S956 tons or 1877. 75S
tons less than at the close of February
Pig iron is again active. One large
interest is reported to have closed a con-
tract for 5000 tons of No. 2 foundry and
is in the market for the addition of 15,-
600 to 10000 tons. Other sales aggregat-
ing 12,0O0 tons have been closed at
little under SIT delivered.
Copper Is decidedly firm though buying
is less active. Tin is firm.

Foresight Made Washington

rOHcSl8ut WA8Qe w 8Sn1ngtOn
I'VE have in mind that the city of
Washington was recently pronounced by
the retiring ambassador from Great
Britain, Mr.. Bryce. in comparison with
London, Paris. Madrid, Vienna and Ber-
lin, TO be the most beautiful of them all.
We know that Washington is generally
regarded. Notwithstanding the unfayora-
BILE climate, as the most attractive city
In the United States, and we know the
secret in large measure of the success
attained in the building of Washington is
that it was built in accordanee with n
well oefined and thoroughly considered
plan. History teaches us that those in
terested In exploiting the plans of Wash
ihgton city yere severely attacked and
criticised, and in later years immortalized
for the wisdom and foresight displayed in
the city plan of Washington thus show
ing the appreciation at this time of the
importance of city plans.

we, therefore, believe that an effort
70 build thoroughly modern convetl-
tent and beautiful city VIII appeal to ev-
cry patriotic citizen. We hope. therefore,
that the city commissioners will employ
an architect. and that our next egisa-
ture VIII create park commission as
anlndependent body with all necessary
powers and authority. Such commissions
nave proven successful in practically ev-
cry instance and success has been rarely
attained without them. Our educational
system and the system In Birmingham

think 1t my duty to let you hear
from me. One year ago last month /
brought my brother, Wallace Baynes.
60 you for that>awful whiskey habit and
snuff, and l am proud to tell you he
hasn't tasted a drop and hasn't wanted
1t since he took your treatment. He
had been hard drirlSer for eight or
ten years and had tried so many times
to quit, but it had such a hold on him
he couldn't quit but since he took your
treatment there Is all difference in him,
he sleeps we'll and attends to his busi-
ness all right, and doesn't throw his
money away like he did. Everything
works better for him, his children are
very happy to see that papa has quit

IF. you want to you can usesthis in
the paper, for God knows there are
lots more who ought to go to you for
the same as my brother did. and may
God bless you for what you did for my

may live for some time to come. and
