MARKET REACTION
 IS BUT TEMPORARY
All Stocks Are Expected to Reach
 Higher Prices Before Long
Furnished by Richter & Co.)


 During the past few days there has been quite a reaction in some of the more speculative of our local stocks. We believe that this reaction has just about run it's course and that before long a buying movement will be started which should send prices up again Colts Arms sold down one hundred points from it's recent high and sales today have taken place in the neighborhood of S60. American Brass is off about fifteen points, and is now 255 bid, 260 asked. Standard Screw is offered at 325 with no real bid. Niles -Bement-Pond common stock, on the announcement that the company had declared at 1 1-2 per cent. quarterly dividend placing the stock on per cent. basis, sah sold lower and is now 172 bid, 1S3 asked. This is due to disappointment on the part of speculative holders who thought the stock would pay larger dividends. New Departure company common stock has reacted from 172 to 166 bid, 16S asked Bristol Brass holds firm at 72 bid, "A asked.
 The more conservative of our local stocks have held firm and some have advanced in price. American Hard ware is 12O bid, 122 asked wrich is two points above last weeks quota tion, Lander, Frary & Clark, which sold as high as 64 has reacted and is now offered at 60. Stanley Works, which sold at 73, is now offered at Fl, 69 being the bid price. Sales of Union Manufacturing company have been at so, and sales of New Britain Machine at from 77 to 80. Stanley Rule & Level has sold in the neigh borhood of 390 At the recent meet ing of the Hart & Hutchinson com- pany stockholders, an increase of capital from $200, 900 to $300,00 was authorized. There have been no sales or this stock in the last few weeks. We understand that this company is doing very we'll and needs the ad- ditional capital to take care of it's prospective business.
 Tho Insurance company stocks of Hartford have been stronger. partic- ularly Hartford Fire which has sold from 75O to 7S0. Aetna Fire is strong with sales at 37S, National Fire is 376 and Phoenix Fire, SS5. Standard Fire is stronger at 66 bid, 70 asked. Hart ford Electric Light is also strong at 2S2 with recent sales in the neighbor- hood of 2S5.
 We wish to repeat that the present req action, in our opinion Is only a tenn porary one and we believe that before long an active and advancing market will be in order.

the Metropolitan Steamship Company was then an independent line. Judge Hunt declined to entertain the objec- ton, on the ground that the letter was an answer to a request from Todd TOT information. The letter further spoke of the Joy Lines poor finan- c1al condition at this time.
 In July, Haskins wrote to Todd suggesting that he issue an annual passon the New Haven to Capt. Hora- tlo Hall, of the Dominion Line for refusing to charter a steamboat of that line to the Joy Line. This, ac- cord1ng to another letter was done.
 Watching Joy Line. !. Another letter from Haskins to Todd informed him that the Joy Line had chartered the steamer Cocoa in Florida from the Florida East Coast Railway company for three months. Todd then wrote to John M. Hall, president of the New Haven, suggest ing that he Might drop note to MT. Rockefeller (William) and have him explain the Joy Line situation to the Flagler who owns the Florida East Coast and try not to have the char ter renewed at the end of three months.'' The letter also said that Joy Line was trying to charter the steamship Martinique from the same interests. Every other avenue against them is blocked" he added.
 Hall, accordingly wrote to William Rockefeller, stating: I do not be- lieve MT. Flagler would care to have the Florida East Coast lease their boats to the Joy Line in opposition to us.' He suggested that Rockefeller refer the matter to Flagler.
 1T know of no other way to defeat the Joy people in their endeavors to secure these steamboats in their oper- ations against us," Halls letter added.
 Rockefeller Sent Letter.
 A few weeks later F'lagler wrote to Hall stating that Rockefeller had forwarded his letter and explaining that ne had, officially retired from the Florida East Coast and that J. R. Parott had succeeded him as presi- dent.
 Personally" Flagler wrote, 1T would be very glad to do what I can, if you'll tell me what can be done.'
 Hall then wrote to Parott who re- piled: You may be assured that we will do nothing to interfere with the interests of the New York, New Hav- en and Hartford, especially where it affects you personally"
 Similar Letters Introduced.
 Similar letters were introduced to show that efforts were made to pre- vent the Joy Line from leasing the Shinnecock from the Long Island Railroad company. A letter. dated Aug. 2s, 1901, from w. F. Morrill,. one of the vice presidents of the New Haven, informed Todd that he would attend a meeting of the Long Island railroad directors the next day and
 See MT. Baldwin, (president of the road) and tell him not to permit the Shinnecock to be leased to the Joy Line"
 Two days later, Todd wrote to Has, kins that there was no danger of the Shinnecock going to the Joy Line.

 Under existing conditions cabled statements that the Allies will cut down their purchases of American steel because of high prices need not be taken seriously. Such buying has been, and is still insistent. American steel makers have really been slow to believe what is now plain, that the dominant factor in the domestic sit uation is sheer tonnage of steel that is to be fired out of guns. In Great Britain the Iron Ages cable says that government requirements for shell steel are beginning to occupy exclusive attention, new inquiry of this char acter there amounting to 2,OOO,OOO tons.

ERA OF PROSPERITY
 FOR STEEL TRADE
Demand Never So Overwhelming
 as at Present
he Iron Age says todaY:-

The Iron Age says today
 Never has the steel trade seen de- mand so overwhelming as at present and at the same time output expand ing on such a scale, under steadily advancing prices. The tide has risen rapidly this week with increasing signs of excitement.
 In pig-iron history October goes down as the month in which the country's yield first reached 3,0oO,- 900 tons and the daily output crossed the 100,000-ton mark. When war order tonnages of six figures are band jed about so commonly, it is hard to believe that the year opened with a daily pig-iron production of only 51,- 900 tons or half what it is now.
 Pig Iron Output.
 At 3,125,491 tons in 31 days, the October pig-iron output represents 100,822 tons day, against 2,S52,- 561 tons, or 95,0S5 tons a day, in September. On Nov 1, with 276 fur naces going, the capacity in blast was 1,S19 tons day, against 97,535 tons day for 26S furnaces on Oct 1. Thus including charcoal iron, our pig-iron output is now at the staggering rate of 37,500,000 tons year, or 1,500,0o9 COHS HlOTe LHaH LIe IdIc ol one IloHIll ago.
 More furnaces are preparing to go in blast, but on the other hand some of the steel companies furnaces that have been hard driven for months must soon go our for repairs.
 Demand for Iron.
 An old-time buying movement in steel-making iron has been under way this week in the Central West. Tn the Pittsburg and Valley districts 175,000 tons of basic and Bessemer iron has been taken, chiefly by four interests and at Buffalo 7O,0O0 tons of hot metal has been bought for de- livery in the first half of 1916. Basic iron has advanced soc to $15.5O at furnace and a further rise in both Bessemer and basic is indicated.
 Buying of foundry iron is more gen. eral and contracts for the first half of 1916 are now freely made. The week has brought an average ad- vance of soc in coke foundry irons and $1 in charcoal iron, even though merchant furnaces increased their output last month by more than 2.00O tons a day. Southern iron, fol- lowing sales of nearly 150, ,0O0 tons ivy two interests in October, has gone to SIS for No. 2, while sales for the first half of 1916 have been made at $13.50 and higher.
 Mills Holding Back.
 An extraordinary situation exists regarding prices of finished steel Or ders have been sent in with the re- quest that they be entered and the buyer notified of the price. In most lines it is a question of finding a mill that can make the delivery desired. On their part the mills are holding back demand for next year. Only tho largest buyers seem able to get pro. tectlon on their manufacturing costs for 1916, and some manufacturin, consumers may find their output cur tailed by lack of steel.
 In plates and shapes few mills have open capacity late in the year and these have no difficulty in getting
