IRON AND STEEL
 TRADE IMPROVES
Domestic Demand Broadens and Railroads Are Making
 Numerous Inquiries

Cleveland. O, May 1e.-tspeciail-rhe iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 With the broadening of domestic de- mand aceentuated bv numerous inquiries for railroad equipment the steel trade moves forward another lap in it's march of improvement. Just at a time when a slight halt was noticeable in some fin- ished lines, added impetus has been given the industry by the announcement Of these enormous requirements which will involve the placing of so,eso steel cars divided almost equally between eastern and central western lines.
 Large rail orders also are pending, in cmding 5000 tons for Central of Argentine railroad and 1sS0Oo tons for Pennsylvania. Rock Island has placed foooo tons of rails with Illinois Steel company. War orders that have played so conspicaously in re- cent satisfactory developments show no abatement In size or number. I.acla- wanna Steel company will roll so,0oo tons of es-pound rails and track fasteninss for Russia and American Locomotive company and New York Air Brake com pany have made inquiry for 27.0oo and 1e.- oN0 tons steel bars respectively to fill shrapnel cOntrac cts. In addition Cambria Steel company will furnish Russia with % 0o0 car axles and an order for 25.o0o to 5a001 car wheels has been received from one of the .warring nations Baldwin Locomotive company will erect new. plant for manufacture of ammunition, contract for building involving Sooa tons of steel
 It Is too late to gauge effect ot theat- ened international complication follow ing sinking of Lusitania and several American vessels, although no hesitancv Is yet apparent among buyers nor has placing of orders been deferred from this cause ocean freight rates and cargo insurance have stiffened although export tonnage has not appreeiably declined.
 Steel corporation operations this week may reach so per cent which Is best record since early last year. and last week tue iligot capacity was slightly in excess of. B per cent
 Following recent activity pig iron mar ket has settled down to normal pace with recently established quotations well maintained particularly in the south.
 Chicago reports scattering inquiries ag- gregating 3a0O0 tons of foundry grades, principally central Ohio maileabe plants have taken Go0o tons and tho sale of two lots basic of ihoo0 and foe9 tons respec- lively resulted in a 15-cent advance to 1a ca valley furnace.
 Structural lettings last week aggregated 2s. 000l tons. Further arrivals of ferro- manganese aggregate 5000 tons and total shipments since the English embargo was lifted now aggregates 1o,000 to ,oo0 tons.

SECURITIES SHOW ! MARKED STABILITY
Rumors of Disquieting
 Character Have Bad Eff feet at Closing

New York, May 12.--Securities of all classes displayed marked stability dur ing the greater part of todays moderately hour to the accompaniment of unconfirm- ed rumors of a disquietng character. k Early gains of to points in Standard i shares, and as much as 3 to points in fthe specialties, melted away. the decline
 being accelerated by a renewal of the bearish operations. The international situation was the one governing factor throughout the list giviny its first manifestation of strength on announcement that Washing ton had formulated a definite policy re- specting the sinking of the Lusitania The arading element evidently chose to inter- pret this favorably and proceeded to buy, concentrating it's efforts mainly about United States steel Added impetus came from reports that the company had re- ceived orders for unfinished material from companies now filling war con tracts. ss444 5, War specialties were prominent at in termittent periods. Railroad issues of the investment class were bought, the [Arse in srangers and Pacifics being based upon excellent crop prospects. Coppers moved upward on revival of domestic demand for the refined metal.
 Routine news embraced the receipt of so.o000oo gold from France. Trade au- thorities issued conflicting reports as to the state of steel and iron industry. Investment conditions abroad as renc-t- ed by the London market denoted hesita- .4tion by British investors
 Many future sales, indicating recur- renee of foreign selling, were recovered in the local bond market. which was firm in the main. A feature was the weak ness of Argentine 5's which declined 1S points. Total sales, par value. aggregated g, 190, GOO.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 12.--( Especial )--A1though Liverpool fully responded to the advance here of yesterday the local trade acted on the idea expressed last evening that the advance had been too rapid and so long as the political outlook did not clear prices would decline. On this plan of &C., ton they have been selling all day, though it was not until the last hour when their ideas brought in some outside offerings. The recovery at the close was on Liv- erpool buying. but there was no change in the attitude of the trade, who looks for lower markets tomorrow. It is won derful how the exports keep up and cot ton goes out of the country. Weather re. port was considered about what was ex- pected-favorable

 COTTON MARKET Probable Effect of Presi- dents Message on Lusi-
 tania Incident Felt

The local cotton market suffered slight relapse yesterday when good middling was reduced to cents, a fall of i4 cent on all grades of spot cotton. The New York and New Orleans markets were affected in an- ticipation of the effect that is expected to be produced in the shipping situation by President Wilson s message. There was reduction of 35 points on the New York market, but a recovery is expected soon.
 Other quotations are firm on the whole sale market. and the demand in most lines holds up well.
