THE STEEL MARKET.
Many Mil. Operating Mt Average Of
40 Per Cent,

The statement Is made that many inde-
pendent stee! companies are operating
their mills at an average Of about 40 per
cent, and that tho United States Steel
Corporations schedule OF operations is
slightly above 80 per cent. OF capacity
This applies 20 practically all Of the mills,
with tho exception OF those which turn out
wire products. With mill activity at this
low leve. tho Indications are that October
VIII prove to be an even poorer month for
the trade than September.
Quotations are nominal. but despite tho
Willingness OF producers 10 grant liberal
concessions consumers show no inclination
10 commit themselves except as far us
purchasing steel for immediate needs. The
railroads arc more than conservative in
their buying of equipment. but hopes are
held that when the roads see their way
clear 10 Increase revenues through adj
vanced freight and passenger rates the
steel trade vii! be benefited by the order
ing OF needed rails locomotives and cars.
The Daily Iron Trude says: Foundry
pig iron market in tho East shows same
revival In inquiry. but the cast pine
makers are most liberal buyers. Foreign
consumers OF semi-finished steel continue
with good inquiry In eastern Pennsyl-
vania and European wire buyers still
are inqu!r!ng for tonnages at Plttsburg
Finished steel quotations ir the central
West arc softer and further slowing down
OF mills Is predicted before the end OF
the year. New structural business is
light and mills continue IN operation on
old orders"
Chicago reports that last weeks largest
Western structural steel order was 1855
tons. placed by tho Union Terminal Com
pany OF Dallas, Tex. with the American
Bridge Company. which also got 1876 tons
from Minnesota Stool Company. Central
State Bridge Company got $50 tons for
a bridge In indianapolis, Valley Pipe Line
Company gave Jones & Laughlin 27G tons.

The Freight Rate solution.

Tho October letter Of John ". Davis
a Co has the following TO say on tho
subject OF stock market resumption: eft
Is widely urged that this (the reopening
of the stock eSchanges) cannot be even
considered as yet In view of the danger
or great flood OF liquidation by European
holders of American securitieA too great
10 be financed. whereby values would hs
slaughtered and the exchange market
turned yturvy again That this dan
ger would no greatly lessened by an
advance IN freight rates n certain and
there can be no doubt that the assured
prospect Of such an advance would clear
the way for stock market resumption
Yet that resumption should not be con
sideied wholly dependent upon tho Inter
state Commerce Commission. We regard
the stock market "a the most important
department of the American money mar
kct, and We cannot accept the prevailing
idea that II should he considered least
important and provision for It's re- toration
postponed until all other difficulties have
been arranged. II is not mere fai-
weather institution. II is not the un-
necessary thing which vote seeking poll
tic!ans and circulation seeking publishers
delight to picture IN connection with
charges of evil practices.
1T is an economic necessity withou.
which industry-and particularly Ameri-
can industry which is developed so largely
by corporations-cannot expand or pro-
gress. II has been closed for tho fret
time In forty years TO prevent undu.
destruction OF collateral values and 10
protect the countrys money resources
But TO keep II closed !s TO continue "A
condition which SHOULD be passing rapidly
Indeed proper recognition of the stock
markets. true function would seem to
urge its early resumption as most neces-
sary for the carly reestabltshment Of the
usual financial order"

KING GEORGE AS PEAcEMAKeR

London.-King George assumed the
role OF peacemaker on Saturday in
an effort 10 prevent threatened trou

Just what the result OF his msjer

matter OF conjecture. but II is known
that the king is using every influence
to avert bloodshed in the Ulster con
troyersy.
His majesty had long conferences
with the prime minister. Mr.. Asquith
the secretary OF state for war. Col.
