STEEL TRADE SLACKENS
Mill Operation Now Around a
go Per Cent Basis.

Steel trade publications yesterday re-
ported conditions in the industry not
improved. Railroad contracts are be-
ing held back, foreign orders are few
and steel works are said to be oper-
ated at not over 60 per cent by the
leading companies. Pig iron consump-
tion is being further contracted.
"The Iron Age says:
Conditions in the steel trade have
not improved; rather they have grown
worse. The extension of the financial
embargo on business is a reminder, in
some aspects, of the memorable situa-
tion Of eighteen years ago. But the
present halt looks to no definite date
for its ending, as was the case in 1896.
Railroad financing supposed to have
been done before the war, and that
iaeant contracts for steel mills, prac-
tically stands as at first, with no mar
ket for bonds Consumers of steel have
quite we'll provided for their wants for
the remaining quarter of the year. The
falling off in the operations of manu-
featuring consumers of iron and steel
in all lines is still the outstanding fact

Benjamin Fein, known on the East

address, in the Essex Market court yes,
terday, when arraigned on charge OF
attempted extortion before Magistrate
Appleton, were held for the action oil
the grand jury in bail Of S7,bo0 eacn.
The complainant against. Fem ana
Siegel was Benjamin Salmonowieh,
business agent of Local No. 6Oe OF the
Kosher Butchers Union, with heaa-
quarters at 151 Clinton st. In the
affidavit submitted to the court II Is al
legged that the two men threatened TO
kin Salmonowich II he did not pay
them 5000. The men were arrested, ~
was said, after $50 In marked money
had been passed. ~
Doubts on the crsdibility Of the com
plainant were cast by John Roeschlaub,
secretary Of the Butchers Union NO;
ia, who said that Salmonowich had
no right whatever to call a strike when
he did. and had by his action dissolved
the union. Jacob Fein, father OF the
accused, told Of visit to his house by
tho complainant, casting doubt on his
real motives In the case.

SMALL INVESTORS
GET BEST SHARE
Applications for City Notes Un-
der $4,000 Will Be
Filled in Full.

Clerks in the Offices Of ]. P. Morgan
& Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., syndicate
managers, were still busy at late
hour last night tabulating the appllca-
tions for the city's per cent notes
and it was not possible then to COM
plete the allotment. Enough progress
had been made oy yesterday afternoon.
however, to make it certain that all
applications up to $4,000 would be
filled in full, though not necessarily in
the maturities stipulated. All foreign
applications will likewise be filled in
full.
Because of the heavy demand for the
1916 and 1917 maturities, it will be
necessary for the syndicate managers
to make allotments of the various ma
turtles pro rata on a basis to permit
the allotment of approximately 30 per
cent on the applications above $4,000.
If any other distribution were attempt
ed those who applied for the longest
term bonds exclusively would receive
a small fraction only of what they
asked for, the 1917 maturity alone be-
ing ebout ten times oversubscribed.
No authoritative information could
be obtained yesterday of the exact
amount of the offering which was avail
able for public subscription, but it is
G fact that some of the most important
banks in the underwriting syndicate
gave up their right to 80 per cent Of
their allotment, and an estimate Of
S75,000,000 of the notes passing into
the hands of the general public was
said to be not far from the mark.
Around the financial district there
