NEW ORDERS IN SIGHT

Cleveland, o., December 9.-(Special9
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
Active buying of pig iron has eontin-
ued during the past week in leading CEN
tiers, although naturally there was some
decrease in orders in markets in which
buying was very heavy in the preceding
two weeks.
Finished materials apparently have
started to go through the same stages of
progress as have characterized the pig
iron situation.
ment in sentiment in finished materials,
and 1t is confidently expected that orders
will come in freely early in the new year,
but such selling as is now being done is
at extremely low prices. The sale of pig
iron during the recent period of activity
in Chicago are estimated at about 100000
tens, and very fair activity still continues
in that district.
The Standard Sanitary Manufacturing
company purchased 24,O00 tons of north
ern and southern grades the former at
SIS so to s13 95 Pittsburg and the latter at
$3.50 TO 1915 southern furnaces.
Sales of the week at Pittsburg have
amounted to about $4,000 tons. Buying In
the Philadelphia district has been we'll
maintained and transactions amounted to
about $4,000 tons.

AMERICAN NAVY AS
POWERFUL AS ANY IN
WORLDSAVE ENGLISH
ADMIRAL FLETCHER
Commander in Chief of At
lantic Fleet Appears Be-
fore House Naval At
fairs Committee

Washington, December 9-The abil-
ty of the American navy to success
fully meet the war fleet of any nation
except Great Britain was asserted to-
day by Rear Admiral Fletcher, COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic fleet,
before the House naval affairs com
mittee. The possibility of conflict with
Great Britain was so remote, the ad-
miral said, that he did not believe in
a naval policy designed to control the
oceans as against that country.
Admiral Fletcher was under examin-
alton all day by the committee at the
first hearing on naval appropriation
bill held in many years. He was piled
with many questions about condition
of the navy, judged by lessons of the
European war. Although confidently
declaring the American navy was over
matched only by that of England. he
added, that if this country continued
to build one or two battleships a year,
Germany on the basis Of her present
construction programme soon would be
far in the lead.
The admiral said he had no doubt in
the ability of the United States TO con-
troll the seas in naval conflict with
Japan, but when questioned specifically
he would not say that the American
fleet alone could successfully defend
the Philippines and Hawaii against
Japanese expedition.
