Inmates by at least $1,000. 900 bushels.
while the oats crop will exceed former es-
mates by at least 100000.
A 5000. 900 bushel increase in the
barley crop estimate Of August was

promise of yielding twenty-seven pounds
more to the acre. according TO the hg-

A decrease, however. was noted In the
rice crop. which will yield. according

THE STEEL MARKET.
Rail Orders Pour In-New Pro-
ductIOn RecOrds Are Wade.

One OF the most encouraging features
yesterday in the steel trade was the
realization of the fact hat orders for
steel rails are coming In at a much
more rapid rate than for some time
past. Accumulation OF rail orders shows
that up TO the end of August mills rave
received bookings for l.2l4,00O tons, as
compared with 1858, 200 tons in the
same period OF last year and $4,000
tons In 1913. With inquiries at present
in the market and indications for other
business rail manufacturers are conf
dent that the current year will show a
further material gain over the past
few years.
On the subject OF steel rails the Iron
AGE a this TO say yesterday: "A sig.
nifcant turn in the steel trade Is the
beginning of rail orders for spring roll
ing. Louisville and Nashville has bought
$4,000 tons from the Steel Corporation.

such delivery, New York Central lines

uring on rollings before winter for rails

AdNces from the Sharon district yes

negie Steel Company had blown in an
other blast furnace after n six months

duction the Iron Age makes this COM
ment Pig iron production is mounting
rapidly, In August 1t was 2.779,647
tons, or s9,666 tons a day. against g.

day. The steel works furnace in
creased 5000 tons and merchant fur
naces 1000 tons n day. Steel companies
produced 2,101,sls tons OF pig iron last
month. breaking all records.
"On September 1 the capacity Of the
24s furnaces In blast was 9l,075 tons
a day, a rate only exceeded in February
and April. 1913. On August I the 2s4
furnaces In blast were making S6,776

New equipment orders. although not
particularly heavy, continue TO come
forth from day to day. Among those
noted yesterday were seven passenger
cars from The Pullman company on the
Atlantic Coast lime Railroad. Another
received by the Pullman company was

THE P P MARKET.
EIectroIytic IL offered Below the
II Cent Level.

There were cheap offerings of copper
yesterday. but consumers paid no at
tention to the low prices In evidence.
1t was possible to buy electrolytic below
II cents a pound for Experimentation
delivery, but even these quotations did
not interest the manufacturers. The
leading producers adhered to IS cents
az their asking price, but IL there was
any business Mt that level II was ex-
ceedingly small.
SOM of the zines producers are well
sold up over the end of the year and
consequently are not affected by the day
to day fluctuations In demand and price.
For brass specials yesterday II cents
a pound was bid. but no business was
done. The higher grades OF spelter are
still quoted at around 40 cents a pound.
There was some domestic buying of
lead at 40. but the concessions offered
by small producers and dealers had
the effect OF somewhat restraining buy
ing power.

mean net earnings Of $4,000, 600. or
only $1,000. goo greater than the second
quarter. Another statistician claims
that the third quarter earnings will be
at least $4,000. 900. II is also stated
that the corporation export orders In
June were less than zoe. 900 tons n In
July less thar esq., tons. This means
direct shipments. Previous June esti-
mates Of 800 900 tons included indirect
as well as direct exports. Much of the
steel sold is to be manufactured into
shells in this country and exported only
in finished form.

STEEL DEMAND GROWS:
AGITATION IN MARKET
Domestic Consumers Con-
cerned Over Deliveries
War Call More Pressing.

There was much agitation in the steel
trade Yesterday. The war market now
in full swing is developing new condi-
lions. The mills, as we'll as home con-
sumers and foreign buyers. find the
outlook serious. There are signs OF
great imitation in steel values next year.
There In a wide variation In current
prices, with a prospect hi outside quo
~,ations soon will be the esta blished sell
ing level. This is based upo the con-
tinuation OF the war, OF course.
There Is no abatement in the pressing
demand for steel for war munitions,
and with the exceptionally high prices
prevailing. domestic consumers, of bars
especlally. stand small chance to secure
desirable deliveries even for next year,
unless contracts are placed quickly. Do
nestle business IL none too good, but
there is a more general awakening con-
sumers who can anticipate their require
ments.
This ia shown in the placing OF some
rail contracts for next year and the
active preparations for modification for
equipment by five of the largest trans
portation systems. The Louisville and
Nashville has ordered $4,000 tons OF
standard omen hearth rails, and the
Atlantic Coast Line has bought %. 600
tons OF rails from the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Railroad Company, for shin.
