STEEL EMBARGO
FAVORS BUYERS
Mills, However, Still Report
Inability to Cope with
Home Demand.

Domestic consumers, according 70
steel trade publications, are benefting
through the railroad embargoes on ex-
port shipments to this city. Still home
orders for steel are more than can be
easily accommodated and manufactur-
ers are endeavoring to have postponed
bookings for the second half Of 1915.
Prices Of finished products continue to
advance and are irregular, as different
makers vary in their ability to make
deliveries. The pig iron market, while
strong, is a little quieter with the ap-
proach Of the holiday season.
"The Iron Age" says; "The embargo
laid by all railroads on shipments Of
iron and steel products 70 New York
for export, while II throws some seri-
Gus problems on the mills, Is blessing
to domestic consumers. While billets,
blooms, bars and wire products have
figured prominently in exports, the cas-
ing up at home due to the embargo will
extend to other forms OF finished ma
terial, as III the release Of steel for
plate departments, for example, the
soaring Of plate mill prices finding a
parallel In no other line. Yet the stu
alton in respect 10 a number Of finished
products is so tense that too much
should not be expected from the hold
ing up of exports"
"The Iron Trade Review" will say:
each week still is adding its quota Of
price advances in iron and steel prod
ucts. In a number Of finished steel
lines makers have adopted formal
schedules which are in excess Of any
price level quoted since. 1899, while
there are a number of cases where
much higher figures are being obtained
by those mills which can make the de-
liveries desired by the buyers. The
market continues to show an absence
Of price uniformity, owing 10 the
varied position Of the mills on the mat
ter of deliveries Smaller plants, " hose
capacity Is not so completely tied up
by previous bookings as the large mills,
are profting greatly from the urgent
demands for nearby shipment.
New business still exceeds the aoil-
ity Of the mills to accommodate l.
Active negotiations from European bel
ligerent countries for she'll steel, for
delivery over the last he II Of 1916, now
are in full swing, and heavy tonnage
Is under negotiation"

NEW CLEARING RULES
Stock Exchange to Organize a Distrib-
uting Department.

The governing committee of the
Stock Exchange yesterday adopted
rules FOR clearing. to 60 into effect on
January 81, for the purpose Of estab-
fishing branch department Of the ex-
changes Clearing House. This will be
known as the distributing depart
ment," It's purpose being 10 facilitate
and expedite the exchange Of Clearing
House tickets and 70 distribute sales
tickets with stamps attached. This Is
q labor saving device which will reduce
70 a minimum the physical labor en-
tailed In the operation.
Through the operation Of the new
department Clearing House tickets will
be sent during the day by firms clear
ing, 10 the Clearing House, where the
same firms will receive tickets coming
10 them from others. The operation
will be somewhat similar to the meth
DDS Of distributing used In postoffices,
and one man should be able TO deliver
and call for all the tickets Of an Office
Of reasonable size, but the correcting
Of errors on tickets will be continued
as heretofore.
One Of the effects Of the operation
Of the new department will be the
throwing out Of employment Of q small
army Of runners who have made live
lihood by working a few hours a day
for brokerage firms.

COTTON SAGS OFF
in QUIET MARKET
Trading Chiefly Pre-Holiday
Switching-Close Is
Steady.

Cotton was very quiet and traders
found nothing IN the news 70 stimu-
late fresh ventures in advance of the
holidays. Business reelected little
more than q further evening-up Of sc-
counts or switching from near 70 late
months. Prices showed q disposition
10 sag of in the absence OF any impor-
tant support. The close was steady az
q net decline Of , 70 z points.
Liverpool was a shade lower than
due and the market here opened at un-
changed prices TO a decline OF ! points.
Some spot house buying OF near posi-
tons and covering caused a rally 70
practically Tuesdays closing figures
right after the call. The spot houses
who bought near months, however,
were sellers OF late deliveries. while
there was scattering liquidation from
local ant New Orleans sources under
which prices soon turned easier. Liver
pool bought some May here. but was
also a seller OF both May and October.
while support seemed pretty well con-
fined a. scattered covering. The close
was at practically the low point OF the
day.
The second note to Austria was with
out effect on the market, although
nervousness over lnteInaNlonai polelSs
may possibly have contributed TO the
recent tendency 20 reduce commit
ments.
Exports amounted to S4,l9l bales for
the day, which made 2.1sl,45i bales so
far this season. against 2-243,545 last
year. II was reported that rate OF
60 a hundred had been paid for ocean
freight room from Boston TO Liverpool
and that the freight rate on cotton
from Galveston TO Havre had been adj
vanced 20 s240 a hundred pounds.
Southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were unchanged.
