NEW STEEL ORDERS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Shipments on Contracts Are
Still in Excess of New
Business

New York. June 7.-Sone slight improve
ment was reported last week on new or
ders booked for rolled steel products, but
shipments on contracts were still about Is
per cent in excess of new business. May
orders booked by subsidiaries Of the Stes:
corporation are estimated at approximate
ly 5000 tons per day, or about Is per cent
less than shipments
Some of the smaller mills were more sg-
eressive for business last week and recess
sions in prices of sheets, bars and plates
as we'll as in fabricated shapes, were re-
ported. On the other hand. price of boiler
tubes, oil country goods and water well
casing were advanced 81 per ton, and
wrought iron pipe 81 ton Wire products
were maintained by the largest interest,
hut the smaller wire mills continued to
shade the base prices 81 per ton. More
sales of sheet bars and tin bars were
made at $3.50 mill.
Railroad equipment orders were light,
including only 1900 tons of rails, mainly
for export; 1000 cars for the International
Great Northern and six locomotives for
industrial lines
Steel building and bridge orders were
small. calling for only 5000 tons of
shapes. Structural orders amounted to 5000
tons.
One feature of interest was the revival
in marine work, prospective business call
ing for about 10000 tons of steel plates in
the east, including material for the con-
struction of six steamships for the Ham
burg-American and three for the Mallory
Line.
The lower prices for pig iron brourht
out larger inquiries and resulted in sales
of $4,000 tons in the eastern district alone.
Contracts are pending for $4,000 tons more.
Merchant furnaces are going out some
for repairs-and output now is scarcely
81 900 tons daily, while furnace stocks are
accommodating.

Senators Williams and Var
daman Refused to Be
RecOnciled
ALABAMA MAY GET
REVENUE COLLECTOR
Failure of Mississippi Senators to
Agree May Give Alabama COllec-
tOrship - Williams Declines
to Discuss the Matter
BY G. e. STEWART

Washington, June 7-(Special )-There Is
little indication of Mississipprs senators
getting together on patronage in that
state. The efforts of the Mississippi dele
cation in the House have been directed
toward reconciling the differences between
Senators Williams and vardaman, as
much as possible, but so far without re-
suit.
The first open fight came when Sena-
tor Williams opposed the nomination of
Editor Bonny of the Summit Sentinel,
for postmaster at Summit. Bonney was
opposed by Senator Williams because of
his newspaper attack some time ago upon
John Allen, which brought on a suit for
libel. But this is not the. only differ
ence between them in the northern dis
trict, Senator Williams has a candidate
for district attorney in the person of w.
S. Hill, and Senator Vardamans candi-
date is w. Lee Crum of New Albany.
Both are firm in the support of their
respective men and the fight to all ap-
pearances will be waged to the bitter
end.
Southern District
In the southern district the present in
cumbent is Charles Lee. a democrat, who
is close friend of Attorney General
McReynolds they having been classmates
at college 1t is quite probable that the
Attorney General will insist upon his
denomination and If SO, this will really
leave only one district attorney for both
senator's. This fact intensifies the con-
test in the northern district. Senator
Vardaman said today, that he had rather
not discuss the situation in Mississippi
at this time, but he expressed the hope
that he and Senator Williams might reach
an agreement as to the division of pa
tronage. He said that 1t was very dis
tasteful to him to be compelled to choose
between friends, but that he realized the
necessity of getting together.
1t has been generally understood that
Mississippi would get the internal reve-
nue. collectorship for Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, but in the event of disagree
ment between the senators, this plum may
after all go to Alabama. Senator Will
liams declined to make any comments
upon the situation whatsoever.
