STEEL TRADE LOOKING
To 1915 PRODUCTION
Railroad Buying Increases; Fabri-
eating Orders For August
Break Records

With making capacity so
largely taken up for 1915" says the
Iron Age, In its weekly review to-day,
"the trade is daily making calcula-
tons for the early months of 1916.
There is more evidence that the hand
of the railroads is being forced by the
size of the foreign inquiry for steel
looks now as though the railroads
will all at once want q good many
cars and locomotives and that they
will have to take their turn after buy
ers who have been more forehanded.
Locomotive orders and inquiries
have been larger in the past week
than in months. Some car require
ments are shaping up. In the case
of the New York Central both rails
and cars are up and rails for Fall and
winter delivery are expected to be
placed at Buffalo. The Seaboard Air
Line has ordered 1000 tons of rails
and the Glover Leaf 5000 tons. Cen
orally western roads have not begun
to negotiate for next years rails
The report that fabricating orders
in August reached So per cent. of the
countrys capacity was a surprise. For
the past six months the average has
been 73 per cent. while in the last big
year, 1912. it was probably not over
20 per cent. Chiefly interesting in
new work is $4,000 tons of elevated
road for Philadelphia. At Youngs-
town $500 tons of new steel work con-
struction has been awarded and alto
gether steel work additions are a
larger factor in the structural trade
than in months"

The coasts of Baillie Islands which

that the few boats that have reached
there have had to anchor nearly a mile
from the beach. Captain Pullen
camped on the larger island in 1850,

of the ice which was piled upon the

stock would be on six per cent. basis
with the beginning of 1915, but in
stead of getting six per cent. the stock
holders will receive about half that
amount. No dividend has ever been
paid on the common stock, which has
been steadily declining in price as a
result of the raid of the jitneys and
the poor business of the summer
months.
There is some speculation in munic-
ipal circles as to what will happen
in the consideration of the annual
budget for the next year Under the
agreement with the electric railway
system the city receives three per cent.
of the gross receipts and through this
source the municipal treasury was en-
riched to the tune of almost $25,00O
this year. In view of what has hap
pened during the present year the div
idend that will come to the city is
likely to be cut some thousands of
dollars. A fee of $5 for each car paid
by the jitney operators will not go
far in making up the loss in this quar-
ter.
An official of the Harrisburg Rail-
ways Company said to-day that it was
with regret that the company found
1t impossible to pursue its former pol
icy in cooperating with boroughs and
townships through which its lines run
in the Improvement of highways and
streets. He admitted that the jitney
development had made great inroads
upon the receipts of the company, but
also explained that the unusual wea-
ther conditions Of the summer had
been in part responsible. added to the
industrial depression throughout the
year.
1t was further intimated to-day that
owing to the fact that the summer is
the profitable period of the company
operation and that practically no divi-
dend had been earned during this per-
liod, the stockholders had rather a
poor prospect for the next distribu-
ton period in April unless conditions
quickly change.

river and unfavorable winds drove the
ice to the westward. This drift, 1t was
hoped by Stefanssons friends, would
carry the explorer and his companions
toward the Siberian coast.
In this belief trading schooners and
whalers plying the Arctic this SUNNI er
were asked to keep a sharp lookout
for the explorer. Last month vessels
arrived at Nome, Alaska, after trad
ing along both the Alaskan and Siber-
ian shores of the Arctic and reported
that no trace of Stefansson had been
found.
See Man On FToe
There still remained the hope that
he had found refuge on Wrangell is
land, where the survivors of the Stef-
ansson exploration ship Karluk sought
safety, after the vessel was crushed
in the ice Is months ago. This hope
was buoyed up by a circumstantial ac-
count at Nome last April to the effect
that natives hunting seal last winter
near Icy Cape on the Arctic coast of
Alaska reported that they saw a white
man marooned on a ice foe which was
drifting in a southwesterly direction
toward Wrangell island. This news
was brought to Nome by a carrier from
Port Barrow. This information did
not give the date on which the ma
tives saw the man, but it is presumed
to have been late in January or early
in February, this year.
Carried Out To Sea
When the natives first saw the man
he was on a large ice pack separated
from them and the shore by wide
stretch of water. The hunters inmc-
diately hurried out upon the ice TO
attempt a rescue but before they
reached the lead separating the foe
from the shore ice, a strong off-shore
wind sprang up, carrying the ice far
to sea. The ice was moving steadily

an amendment to the federal constitu-

The vote the second in the history

which the many speakers were listen

A two-thirds affirmative vote was

Party lines were not strictly drawn,
though Democratic Leader Underwood
voicing the attitude of his party that
suffrage is a state issue, strongly op-
posed the resolution, while Republican
Leader Mann was one of the chief
speakers for the suffragists.

WoMEN's EARLY SPRING STYLE
Fashion Makers Tell Us What tc
Wear to Be Stylish.

Chicago.-New materials for wo-
mems early spring clothes are decided
ly like those of grandmother's day,
according to the bulletin of the Fash
ion Art League of America issued here
Monday. Frills and furbelows OF 1880
are to be worn more and more.
Materials consist of narrow-striped
materials with taffeta finish. Silks
in pompadous, small plaids and checks
are the best of these. Many crepes and
veilings already are being shown with
a small Dresden flower pattern, which
was revived year ago. Cashmeres
and satin clothes will be among the
materials for street wear.
Colors will be subdued, with a prev
alence of black and white, white pre-
dominating. Effects in stripes will be
better form than checks or plaids, be
ing smarter and more suitable to the
new silhouette.
While the trend OF styles is, and for
some time has been, toward the 1880
period. our 1915 mode of living de
mands a distinctly modern adaptation
