Yards o. cotton duck. 100000 pairs Of socks
weekly up TO the end Of the year. 10000 flannel
shirts weekly for the same period. and 100000
yards OF crash have been ordered for shipment
abroad. Other big orders are Inevitable.
Requirements for the great armies now In the
field include blankets. sheets. towels. socks.
shirts. and numerous other wooden and cotton
articles. Orders for great Quantities OF these
nave been placed in America far beyond the
immediate capacity OF producers and in excess
Of stocks on hand. Large orders are coming

200 600 pounds OF absorbent cotton Purchas-
ing agents from abroad are seeking quotations
here on 100000 yards of khaki cloth for field
service. Almost every Kind OF article made Of
wool or cotton Is DEVELOPING a big demand
The silk trade has been remarkably affected
BY the war. Most OF the mills running at
full time. and many other mills that have been
closed Down for some time are now starting
again. giving employment 20 many workers
Canadian dealers who used TO purchase their
silk goods In Europe are now coming here for
their supplies.
The war has cut on the supply OF India burlap
with which shipping bags have been made.
Manufacturers must have bags OF some sort
and good substitute for the burlap bag has
been provided from cotton coated with asphalt.
This has opened up a new field OF employment
and contributes its share to the general pros
perity OF the country.
The fighting nations are not the only ones
looking TO for their supplies Most of the
neutral countries have had their trade channels
upset by the war. and they find IL necessary to
make considerable purchases In America. One
foreign firm alone from a neutral nation has
sent its representative here TO negotiate for
s15.0O0.0 900 worth of wooden and cotton goods.
But the wool and cotton industries not
the only reaping benefits from the war.
In the printing trade. for. instance. where one
would not expect to find ay profit from the
war. there has been increased demand. due
principally to the fact that American firms
which formerly had their printing done in
Great Britain, where low prices prevail, are
now forced TO have this work done In America.
One firm alone has received $4,000 worth OF
printing that was formerly taken care OF
abroad
While the steel industry has suffered slightly
from the war in some lines OF trade, yet the
enormous amount OF business being done in
steel and iron products which can be used in
warfare more than Offsets any losses from nor
nal channels. A number OF steel mills which
have been closed down recently are now re-
suming operations. Numerous and large orders
have been received from abroad for barbed

burg. Charles NJ. Schwab has made contracts
with the French and Russian governments for
s5oOo.oO0 worth OF steel armored cars. This Is
merely preliminary order, as others for larger
quantities are to be placed shortly. IL is known
that upward of 100000 tons OF crude and rolled
steel products already have been put under con-
tract for shipment abroad from American
mills before January 1. Several lines including
wire, sheet and tin plate, have been i'm
mediately affected by the shortage abroad and
have increased operations to between 20 and
so per cent OF maximum capacity. Three tin
plate plants, which have been idle for some
time, resumed operations last week.
Pressure on the wire mills for quick delivery
OF some $4,000 tons abroad has made Il neces-
sary for them to hire additional help. The cur
rent business being received by the Bethlehem
Steel Company from the nations at war is reach
ing large proportions. Machinery that can BE-
used Id warfare is In great demand, and some
firms here have sold out their entire stocks
France aud Russia have placed orders here for
100000 horseshoes. The Midvale Steel Com
pany is working to full capacity on an order
