 New York, Sept. 2.-Sir Herbert Holt, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, a passenger on the Adriatic, arriving here today from Liverpool, said the members of the British financial commission who are coming to New York to effect a readjustment of the foreign exchange situation were to have sailed on the Adriatic, but changed their plans at the last min ute.
 From another source it was learned that the commissioners, after cancelling their passage on the Adria- tic, planned to sail for New York by way of Canada.
 1T See no occasion for alarm in the United States over the sudden drop in foreign exchange, especially the English pound sterling," said Sir Her bert. II might say that, regardless of how low exchange falls, Great Britain must have the munitions of war she is securing in this country. Also, feel confident that the exchange will soon be adjusted

WAR OVERSHADOWS
 STEEL SITUATION
Big Demand for ProduCts-Immi-
 grant Labor Shortage Felt

1 The Iron Age will say tomorrow: l The main features of the steel l situation are the large amount of new war business offered, particularly in bars and wire, and the fact that the possible open-hearth steel output of the remaining months of this year is practically all under contract. Thus the very moderate pace at which new domestic business is coming in brings no misgivings.
 Some parts of the industry, par ticularly those merchant furnaces at which wages were reduced as pig iron prices went below cost last year, are now facing higher labor cost. A few wage advances have been an- | nounced. There is yet no actual scarcity of labor but the bidding of new munitions for skilled labor drawn from other operations is being felt in the iron trade. Not only are iron and steel works missing the thou sands of men who have come from Europe at every previous turn of the tide her, but they have lost some thousands to Europe this year.
 ! There are signs that with each month the war is taking larger part of the country's steel production. One of these is the increasing reticence of steel makers as to war contracts. It is understood, however, that 10000 tons of round bars was booked at Chicago in the past week, also that 10000 tons of rounds went to Pitts burgh and 50,000 tons to a Mahoning Valley plant.
 There seems no end to the barb wire demand from Europe. In- ,h cluding one for 25,000 tons of painted barb wire which has come up at Cleveland. Foreign buyers are even trying to get hold of warehouse stocks. The high prices due to this export demand now promise to cut down home consumption of fence wire.
 The possibility that war orders for large bars may fill up certain rail mills fer the early months of 1916 has started no rail buying as yet, and steel makers are not soliciting rail business. At Chicago the St. Paul road has closed for it's structural and other steel for 1916, repeating this years order. The Pennsylvania has work, and the Santa Fe is in the mar
 
 Prices on bars, plates and shapes are stronger, and Eastern structural mills have been able to get $1 a ton more than the Pittsburgh basis of 1.35c. In the West 1.30c. for plates is till to be found, though the plate mills of the leading Pittsburgh in- l terest are six to eight weeks behind l orders
 The quick reversal of form in spell l ter has brought advances in galvan- l ized sheets and galvanized wire prod | ucts. The latter are up $2 a ton. | For No. 2S galvanized sheets the range | is 3.60c to 3.75c., but buyers are in | no mood to move, fearing another | drop in spelter.
 The billet market still shows the l anomaly of a spread between Pitts burgh and Eastern prices much in excess of the freight to the East. Buyers are offering premiums for early shipmnt
 Pig iron is higher in the East and
