THE STEEL MARKET.
Producers Looking for Good Buying
Movement.

Steel producers look forward to a good
buying movement in the near future. In
curry continues TO increase and cousum-
ers are sounding the market for steel to
be delivered next year. One firm is in
the market for $4,000 tons of As inch
pipe, which is the largest single in
curry the trade has had in months. Steel
prices and the rate of production are be-
lieved to be as low as they will get and
the exhaustion OF stocks in consumers
hands will no doubt force an increase in
new business
According to the Iron Age. reduc-
ton of so cents ton has been made in
the price OF essemer and open hearth
billets TO $40. Tank plates. Pittsburg.
are quoted at 81 o5 per 100 pounds. which
is reduction of 81 per ton. Black and
galvanized sheets were also cut 81 per
ton TO $1.S5 and sass.
The Iron Trade Reuietp says.
Evidence is multiplying OF the switch
to better sentiment in the iron and steel
trades and this is beginning to stir the
consideration OF buying in quarters which
have been strongly indifferent At the
same time the mills have experienced
no real improvement in new business
which IL IL probably 100 early to expect
and they still are having a hard time 10
maintain their operations. Easier money
conditions and the inauguration OF the
new currency system are bringing about
more wholesome feeling which sooner
or later. II is believed. must moro ma
terislly affect the market
One actual development as result of
q better bond market Is the increasing
inquiries from municipalities for cast iron
pipe Several railroad systems. including
the New York Central. which is asking
for $4,000 tons. have entered the market
for their 1915 rail budgets, though their
requirements are on "A reduced and very
conservative scale for the present. Prices
in finished steel lines are so low that
makers derive little satisfaction from
Hoing business. Pig iron Is moro active
in several districts. In the East, Buffalo
makers. after having sold heavy tom
mage in the aggregate at low prices. are
moving up their quotations

Bonds ana stocks.

The difficulties in the case Of the bond
market are entirely separate and differ
ent form those In the stock market.
There are potentalities OF much higher
prices in stocks. The stock market situ-
alton can conceivably be greatly simpli-
fed by waiting. while time will not help
the bond market at all. A favorable
rate decision would undoubtedly put the
stock market upon a solid basis. This or
any other piece of good news or the kind
might even cause such boom In prices
as TO open the exchange automatically.
Tho problem of resuming official trading
in stocks will therefore practically solve
itself II patience Is exercised and advan-
tage taken OF an opportune moment.
Moreover. IL Is In bonds rather than In
stocks that foreign selling Is to be antici-
pated. Foreign selling of bonds VIII he
dictated by the same reasons as Will lead
to local selling OF bonds, namely. the
change in the interest rate.
In addition the foreign investor VIII
have a tremendous incentive TO discrlmi-
nate against American bonds In the huge
new Government loans now being ffoated
by the European Governments. He viii
put his money into these in the spirit
Of pure patriotism and without calcu-
lating greater opportunities elsewhere
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-11-20
More Publicity wanted.

Some fifty-eight listed stocks may now
be dealt In either at or above the July
80 level, and quite a good business Is be-
ing done through the clearing committee.
Orders at the market are numerous. But
IL is becoming evident that the necessity
OF putting through transactions secretly
Is proving drawback and that II mod
crate amount of publicity could be given
to the prices of those stocks which are
solidly above the minimum level the situa-
ton would be greatly benefited.
Under present conditions the pubic
is dealing in the dark All the intending
buyer knows about stock is that II Is
at or above the July 30 price. II II
happens to be Bethlehem Steel for In
stance. he has probably heard report,
OF its selling anywhere from 30 to 81
Consequently. whatever he pays FOR his
stock or gets for It II he is seller, he
Is bound to be little suspicious that ne
might have got better treatment.
Similarly the broker feels that he can
not give his customer the best service
while he has no accurate knowledge or
the real market The publication OF bids
and offers daily on stocks selling well
above the closing range would remove
all doubts on this score. II would serve
the purpose OF moblizing bids and offers

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Futare Bond Prices.

In planning to resume official trading
IN bonds the Stock Exchange authorities
have to make allowance for one princl-
pal factor and that Is the inevdtability
or lower prices in the long run. With
the exception OF short term issues, which
are in favor because investment in them
does not tie up funds. prices OF all classes
OF bonds will go permanently lower what
ever happens. Interest rates the world
over are higher and will remain higher
for long time to come and that is all
there Is to IT, The rate decision, FOR
instance. may strengthen confidence IN
railroad bonds. but II will not hold prices
UP beyond a reasonable level.
The proposal TO fix limits below which
transactions may not be made Is not de-
signed to hold prices at an artificial level.
but to prevent an unreasonable fall
brought about by sudden rush OF liduf-
dation. The idea that the general run
OF bond prices will remain above the July
80 range with an entirely new set OF , on
ditions in the capital market Is absurd.
Even II the decline is delayed for a
while the fact must not be lost sight OF
that bonds arc going lower. This fact
must be met. While prices remain at or
above the July so level nothing will pre-
vent selling. and there will be just as
much reason for home selling as foreign
selling.

GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel Bsckachy or
have Bladder troubie-Salts
fine for kdneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys casionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids. waste and
poison. else you feel a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with iithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes
a delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and Bladder dis
eases.

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion Of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of the
Family Happy by Using
laxative-Tonic.

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend
SO much on the good digestion of
each individual present that the ex-
periences of some former dyspeptics
who overcame their trouble should be
of interest to those now suffering in
this way.
The best advice one can give-but
it is advice that is seldom needed
is to eat slowly and masticate each
mouthful carefully. However, if slow
eating and careful mastication fail,
the next aid is one close to nature,
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
remedy is an excellent digestant, and
in addition to helping in the diges-
ton of food acts gently on the liver
and bowels, ridding them of the ac-
cumulation of waste that should long
ago have been passed off. Ii is safe,
reliable, pleasant-tasting, and results
are guaranteed.
Mai. S. Martin. of Joplin, Mo. now
II, thinks DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and hap,
pier life He has not felt so good in
years as he has since taking this eX-
cellent medicine, and in spite of his
- years. he says he feels Ike a boy
1t is the ideal remedy for indiges-
ton. no matter how severe: consti.
patton. no matter how chronic, bilious
ness. headaches, gas on the stomach,
drowsiness after eating and similar
annOyances.
You can obtain DR. Caldwell's Syrup
