went wrong. The performance OF Can

THE STEEL MARKET.
Domestic Demand Growing-Ex.
port Buying Continues.

There vas an improvement in the
steel market outlook with the COM
mencement Of the new week. Export
buying continues on a large scale and
demand from domestic consumers Is
growing.
The Russian Government has placed
orders here for about 1900 cars. The
Pressed Steel Car Company will furnish
1000 and the American Car and Foun-
dry Company. the Canadian Car and
Foundry Company and the Eastern Car
Company nave been allotted 1000 cars
each. II Is understood that the prices
TO he received on this business will be
somewhat above prevailing domestic
quotations.
The Russian Government n also
placed an order for 100 locomotives with
the American locomotive Company.
The Standard Steel Car Company has
received an order for 1000 tank cars
from the Union Tank Line Company.
There Is some increase in the domestic
demand for steel products. which is be-
lieved to be due TO the desire of con-
sumers to anticipate the expected ad-
in steel prices.
