Production of Rolled Prod.

During October

New York, November S.-The October
statement of the United States Steel cor

innate decrease of 100000 tons in untitled
orders. the production of rolled prod
ucts was about $4,000 tons during The
month, but shipments were not equal 70
the output because there was lack of
cars to move the material. New orders
are understood to have been about 26. 0Os
tons a day, 1000 less than in September.
Railroad equipment contracts In Octo-
Der made distinct gain over September.
but compared with 1912 there was loss of
G. per cent. Some large orders were
placed for track supplies and miscell:,n-
eors orders for rails aggregated q. 600
tons, including two lots of I5,00O each for
Reading. The Jersey Central, Hooking
Valle, and the st. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico ordered 1000 to 5000 tons each, while
the Lorain Steel company booked 6O00 tons
CT girder rails for Buenos Ayres. The
Chicago and Northwestern ordered 40 more
locomotives.
The most interesting new development
vas the issuing of specifications for three

Passing of Basement Home

This month the baeement of living
room will. officially. pass out OF ex stence
in Missouri. The movement is significant
as the beginning of a realization by the
legislative bodies of the country that the
cor servation of the public health is the
most important factor In political econ
omy. The basement living room. coupled
with the daily toll of children in factories
and sweat shops has enormously In
creased the death rate among the chill

to a dark. damp basement home is a low

nv w. G. NICHOLAS

New York. November S.-(Special) 1.-THE
election was the market sensation of the
week, not because of the magnitude of
the disaster to Tammany, but because of
the exposure of the 'de spread and ex-
panding extent of pc, teal sentiment in
support of the Wilsonian gospel of mod
ern progress. To the rank and file of
the majority voters hereabouts the re-
suits In Minnesota, Indiana, Massachu-
sets and other states in which there
was balloting were individually as, i'm
portant as New York, but collectively of
overshadowing portent and as a develop
ment of more than national consequence.
The prevailing feeling among conserva-
tives has been that with the advance OF
time wisconsin would lose in force. The
week has unfolded a most surprising line
of proof to the contrary. The growth in
the sentiment of 'progressiveness'' is de-
scribed as imperative. and most certainly

1t mi e admitted that politics is dis
turbhs Element There is something more
ltthan trivial in force so disturbing to the
nerves Of business and of speculative
thought.
The Mexican complications afford an
other factor OF deep concern to investors
and SPECTATORS. There is sense OF ex-
hilaration among the younger elements
over the prospect of a War and fur
ther wide territorial expansion and they
refuse to see anything bearsh in the
view. Anything to supply excitement in
allopatfic doses must be bullish, accord
ing to the commonly accepted ruling, and
every particularly lively paragraph from
the front inspires the buying spirit. There
has not been enough of thu sort OF thing
however, to set real bull campaign go
ing. Only those possessed of abnormal
hopefulness have the nerve to preach
and believe that the stock market is due
for an immediate upheaval. On the face
Of current facts there Is little in the
situation to warrant bulilsh action at this

Money Market Still Tight

their reserves and dscouraging borrow

'3semblance of being urged. Railroads buy
