A woman with motherly heart for

the Cambria Steel Company. IN a statement
to stockholders. declares that earnings
from January 20 october 1 on the ton
mage produced have been at the smallest
margin of profit since tho formation OF

the same applies to most OF the big steel
concerns. especially as regards the bust
ness of the last two months.
The tendency OF steel prices continues
downward. open hearth billets. Phila-
delpha, are down so cents, according to
the Iron Age. and valley pig iron has been

concessions are readily obtainable IN most

business In iron and steel products shows
no general improvement and remains
comparatively light Wherever now capi-
tai requirements of much Importance are
involved, initiation of enterprise appears
10 be on low ebb, this being especially
true concerning the building trades and
all classes OF railroad buying. The tin

more active this month than last. As a
general proposition. however. steel manu-

that adopted when the measure was first
proposed. namely, that the present Is a
time when the whole country must. make
sacrifices In the common interest and
that Wall Street Is ready TO bear It's

Street etll resents the imposition OF a

suppostion Is that this is an emergency

that this expedlcnt, when II has proved
