Steel Orders Still Scarce.

Evidence of an improved sentiment in
the steel trade since the congressional
elections has not been accompanied by
an increase in the volume of business.

ment.
Steel building orders since November
leave much to be desired and few
important contracts are pending. Sew
eral bridge contracts were placed, in
GLIDING 900 tons for the Pennsylvania
railroad, 500 tons for the New Haven
and 500 tons for the New York Central.
Building contracts pending call for
$500 tons.
Price Tendency Downward.
The tendency Of prices on all prod
ucts is downward. Pipe manufacturers
reduced prices 81 per ton last week
by an increase in the discount, but the
net result of recent changes has been
a decline of only 81 per ton.
Important foreign orders taken were
1000 tons of barbed wire for Rus

and 5000 tons Of rails for the far east.

NEW YORK, November 1T is
stated on the highest authority that
bond dealings under the supervision
of the committee of five of the New
York Stock Exchange governors are
exceeding the amount of 81 100000 per

of several of the issues have advanced

by the committee which rigidly super

gratifying condition of affairs. and as
complete evidence of the fact that the
public has re-entered the security
markets for the largest purchases W.T.
messed at any time since the outbreak
of the European war; 1t also proves
that confidence In the better grade OF

CAPITAL SHOWS SIGNS
OF SEEKING INVESTMENT
Improved Sentiment in Steel Trade
Not Accompanied By Increased
Volume Of Business.

NEW YORK, November THE hope
full sentiment which developed last week
was sustained by various circumstances
this week. Chief Of these were many evi-
dences of the increasing food Of this coun-
try's export trade. Commerce Depart
ment officials estimated an October excess
Of merchandise exports Of $4,000. 900. Fur
ther buying of wheat and other grains for
export continued on a sensational scale
and cotton shipments to foreign ports
expanded to one-third or more Of last
years rate The effect extended to many
lines of industry. Even the steel trade
felt increased confidence, despite addi-
tional contraction Of current business
The international exchange problem
advanced sufficiently to end the necessity
for further emergency arrangements un-
der discussion by the British treasury
delegates in conference at Washington.
Credits were reported to be arranged
in New York by foreign governments,
including Russia and Austria, for ex-
penditure in this country. This detracts
from apprehension over gold exports.
which are thus certain Of an early re-
turn flow.
Demand for Securities.
Increased demand for bonds and high
grade stocks reflected the growing force
Of the reservoir Of capital. accommodating
with the bottling up of three months Of
securities markets. Ending Of the British
moratorium, government security for
London market loans, reopening Of the
, Liverpool Cotton Association and pros
poets Of an early reopening OF the New
York Cotton Exchange-all these gave
impetus to the discussion looking to the
reopening of the stock exchange.
Heavy retirements of emergency cur
rency and clearing house certificates
marked the strengthening of bank re-
serves and this was followed by an in
terest reduction in long time loans to
On per cent. The bank statement
showed a further increase Of reserves
and a moderate cash gain in place Of

WHAT TO DO FOR SWEENY.
Wasting Muscles Of Horses Shoulder
Need Strict Attention,

Neeo strict HIASHtlOn,
The common cause of SWceny, or
wasting Of the muscles of the shoulder,
is Sprain of the parts, brought about
when a young colt is blowing or pull
ing hard in any way, says DR.. A. S.
Alexander in the Farm and Fireside.
1t is most commonly caused when the
colt is placed in the furrow. as then
it is constantly slipping in and out of
the furrow. 1t is best to place a colt
on the land side when learning to
pillow.
In many instances so called sweeny
is wasting of the muscles Of the Shout
der, due to some chronic foot disease
which causes lameness. N%avicular dis
cas- Or chronic corns Or %ringbone ON
monty leads to wasting of the muscles
Of the shoulder. 1t is therefore neccs-
sary in every case to decide what is
the true cause. If it is from foot lame
ness the muscles will grow in again if
the lameneSs is cured.
In ordinary sweeny without lame.
ness the animal should be kept at
work, and three times Il day the vast.
ed parts should be thoroughly rubbed
and the skin pulled away from the
flesh. At night a strong liniment ma
be rubbed in. If lameness is present
stop working the horse and rub witt
liniment twice daily. In addition mas
