IRON TRADE REVIEW EXPECTS INCREASED.
 ACTIVITY IN MARKET
Both Buyers and Sellers CautiOus-Pig Iron Buy ing Shows Very Graft
 flying Increase

Cleveland. O., April 2S-f -fspeeial)-T The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Favorable developments continue to dominate the iron trade. although there are some weak spots There is a grow
 ing conviction that much greater activ- ity will soon prevail. but both buyers and sellers are cautious about making "contracts involving deliveries at distant dates. II is probable that the next re- port of unified tonnage by the Steel cor poration will show little change as it's shipments and bookings have been about equal at from 5000 to s5,ooo tons daily.
 Pig iron buying shows very gratifying increase in volume Orders aggregating about 100000 tons have been placed very quietly in New York Buying of basic includes 5000 tons by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, 10.o0o tons by American Steel Foundres and round ton mage by United States Steel company. American Rolling Mill company and other consumers in the central west.
 Purchase by an eastern steel company of 13000 tons low phosphorous iron for delivery to begin at once was based on belief that steel companies will have all the domestic business they can take care Of il so to 20 days, and that now is the time for buying pig iron
 In the Chicago district sales of past week are estimated at from 50.000 to S0oo0 tons of various grades. Buying of f.1.ake Superior iron ores during the past week has been confined 10 large extent to companies affiliated with the leading ore producers. Blast furnace operators not so connected are showing disposition to proceed slowly This attitude was ex- peeted by the sellers The action of the interstate commerce commission in re- ducing the carrying rates from mines to upper lake docks cents per ton, making the rate 55 cents. is regarded as indicat- heavier cut would not have caused sur prise.
 Weakness in plates prevails at Chicago and Pittsbure. but in eastern territory and at Cleveland mills are busy and prices are being well maintained. Three eastern Pennsylvania plate makers will furnish from 5000 to 5000 tons for the IA locomotives to be built by the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona. The steel required for tue 2loo cars to be built by the Pennsylvania in it's shops is still pending. Liberal buying of ma chine toools largely by companies which have taken orders for shrapnel continued last week contract for 100000 rifles is pending and several companies which are figuring on the business have sent out inquiries for rifle making machinery. Buying of machine tools for domestic use Is increasing in the Chicago district. Pittsburg machinery dealers have turned out larger productions this month than in any month during past two years. Gin cinnati continues to do large business in machine tools.

Further Inquiries For
Railroad Equipment

Railroads are anticipating a most
profitable year for the term ending
June 80, 1915, and to prepare for big
demands upon their rolling stock, are
inquiries for equipment. The
Atlantic Coast line is the latest to en-
ter the field by asking figures for 500
box cars; the Chicago & Northwestern
has placed an order for 1000 all-steel
box cars in st. Louis; the Baltimore &
Ohio has ordered $2.500,O00 worth of
equipment, and the Western Maryland
is figuring on additional rolling stock.
The western roads are particularly ac-
tive in arranging for new equipment
with the orders to be placed in the
early Fall. while the roads in which
Pittsburgh is particularly interested,
such as the Pennsylvania. the Buffalo,
& Pittsburgh, the Baltimore
& Ohio, the Bessemer. the Pittsburgh
& Lake Erie and others will enter the
market shortly. The necessity for
these purchasing is the enhanced ship
ments of steel products and the great
ly increased coal and coke shipments
which show no sign of abatement.

adapted to this USE AS the gas
producer and ternal-combustion en-
gines in large units come into more
general use in the West, as they are
rapidly doing in the East, the lignites
of North Dakota will become great
factors in the settlement and economic
development of the State.
To be successfully utilized, Ignite
(Unless briquetted) must be burned in
the vicinity of the mine from which
iC is taken. When freshly mined North
Dakota Ignite contains from 25 to 40
per cent. of moisture. but on exposure
to the atmosphere it gives up a large
part of the moisture and Stacks" or
crum bles. Prolonged exposure reduces
it to a rather fine powder with oxi-
dation and loss of volatile combustible
material. One company at Minot.
manufactured briquettes from Ignite
on a commercial scale in 1914.
The number of men employed in the
Ignite mines or North Dakota in 1914
was 55S. who worked an average OF
216 days, as compared with 641 men
for an average of 221 days in 1918.
The average production per man was
90s tons for the year and AZ tons for
each working day, as compared with
773 tons and 2.9 tons, respectively, in
1918.
The mines were entirely free from
strikes, suspensions or lockouts in
1914.

NORTH DAKOTA HAS
BIG COAL OUTPUT
Increased Production in 1914;
Mines Free From Labor
Trouble

The output Of Ignite in North Da-
kota-the only mineral fuel of the
State-increased in 1914 from 495, 800
snort tons. valued at S750,652 in 1918,
to 506,6S tons, valued at Stills
The output of Ignite in 1912 was
499,4S tons and in 1911 502,6 tons.
The relatively small differences in pro-
duction during the last four years indi-
cate an absence of any fiuctuating in
fuences and shows tha tactive devel-
opment of Ignite properties will wait
upon increased population. At present
Ignite is consumed chiefly for domes-
tic uses, but when properly handled
with proper equipment 1t can be used
with satisfaction as a boiler fuel. A
convincing example of what may be
accomplished with Ignite for boiler
use is presented by the irrigation plant
of the United States Reclamation Serv-
ice at Williston, where the Recla-
nation Service operates the mine and
uses the product in the generation of
steam for it's pumping plant connected
with the irrigation project at Willis
