BRITAIN WILL BUY 7 100000 TONS IRON
 IN AMERICAN MILLS
Remarkable DulIness in Pig Iron Continues Lower 2 Freight Rates From Bir-
 mingham Confusing d

Cleveland, O.. September 3o.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Pending negotiations for shipments of iron and steel products in the foreign countries represent large tonnages, but to what extent pending business win develop into orders is still very uncer- tain Definite information as to much of this business is not available. Informa- ton comes to an Ohio manufacturer di- rect from London that the British gov ernment will buy over 100000 tons of sheets for barracks for winter quarters Atand that all of these sheets will be re- Nuired during the next three months.
 It is probable that English mills will be able to meet the requirements of the Government, but that they will not also be able to take care of their ordinary trade. some of which will come to the United States.
 Inquiries for 5o,Ooo steel barrels for ex- .l port are still pending. Steamship com spanies have quoted freight rates on such heavy tonnage recently that they now demand immediate acceptance as they state that if many of the orders now pending should result In business suf- ficient ships to carry the tonnage would not be available Hence, eastern mills are now quoting eastern seaboard instead Of delivered price abroad.
 Pig Iron Dull
 Remarkable dulness in pig iron con tinues and it seems probable that produc- tion this month will be still further re- duced
 rrh. announoement of louar freigbt rates from Birmingham to many northern points on pig iron indicates that there is considerable confusion and that much remains to be done in order to adjust the N rates on the basis fair to all concerned. Southern pig iron promises to be much more important factor in New England market under the reduced rate. Leading manufacturers will protest against rates on crude materials being raised as the result of the reopening of the so-caled per cent advance case
 Railroad Buying Discouraging
 Developments in regard to railroad buy ing are very discouraging. The Southern Pacific which has been figuring on 4600 cars for number of months has with drawn the inquiry. Considerable uncer- tainty envelopes other railroad business Eastern mills are still hopeful of obtain ing the 5000-ton order for Greece and Bir- s~hngham mills expect to obtain further tonnage from Japan.
 Exports of the Steel corporation are now about normal as increased orders from some countries are offsetting losses in business from other countries. Tt is ex- pected that the thrilled tonnage loss of the Steel corporation for September will

THE MULE

Mexico is the mule the more important war-maker of the two.
II the campaign opens widely and our troops leave the cities by th>
sea to enter upon the mountain climbing marches toward Mexico. it will
be HI mule that will carry the munitions, and the hOwizers and the
baggage. He will tread with safety the narrow trails along the side Of
