Contrast With Conditions a Year Ago Is Now Al
 most Overwhelming
STEEL CORPORATION
 MOVES CAREFULLY
New Work It Has Been Careful Not to Expand More Than the Demand
 Justified
By HOLLAND

New York, December 16.-(Special.) )--In october, one of the personal forces a |roup which is small in number, which
 Hally manages and directs the United bates Steel corporations affairs said that fould be disclosed a business condition fhich for suddenness of development and pr magnitude has never been surpassed ] the United States, excepting, possibly h the mines of the Big Bonanza days. he contrast. he said, between the condi- lon in which this corporation found itself ! October of 1914 and the condition as it las in October of this year tells the tory of the marvellous change that has ! ken place in business conditions of all l nds, with one or two exceptions, in less han F months.
 In January of this year there came from
 he officers of the Steel corporation some |ints respecting conditions which were
 Pt very encouraging. Nevertheless there las some improvement over the situa- lon in which the corporation found itself October, 1914. Then this corporation las operating only about one-third of it's opacity. Had it not been for some for Ign business which James A. Farrell,
 he president, had earlier secured the act
 hl operation would have been consider ply less than 8 per cent of the total ca |hcity.
 Now, the corporation is operating prac- fcaly to the full extent of it's capacity nd is receiving daily orders for future |eliveFy which are enormous. No mex erienced business man attempts to gain Ry the inference which lies behind the fport made by the corporation few lays ago of what are called the forward fders'' which it has accepted. Informal pDversation with some of those asso- lated authoritatively with this corpora lon justifies the report that they believe hat the latest report made by the cor
 bration points incontrovertabl to three + four very important considerations Ii. They are certain that about 65 per |ent of the new orders are due to de- hands made upon the corporation for Eeel products of all kinds for the pur- |ose of using these commodities in the sanufacture of various munitions and
 huipment of war. The statement was

Anniston, December 16.-(Special) Every motor car owner in Calhoun county who has failed to take out a license this year is now subject to arrest according to a statement made here Thursday by Probate Judge John M. Crook, who has declined to modify the warning he gave motorists several days ago.
 About 240 licenses have been issued so far but the authorities believe there are at least 100 more who have not paid the tax. Persons who came in Thursday were required to pay IS per cent additional for their delinquency, Although there are several yet behind, it is said that this county is ahead of

 The discovery of the boil weevil in this county recently has aroused the people in the cities as well as in the county to the importance of cutting down the cotton acreage and keepin s up the diversfication movement that
 was started last year. and most of the speeches to be delivered at Oxford will be to this effect.

FOREIGN ORDERS

The policy of the warring nations seems to indicate an increasing disposition to place orders for blooms, billets and forg- ings for the manufacture of high eX- plosive shells, and demand for this ma teral is to some extent taking the place of that for shrapnel rounds. Among the inquiries for the high explosive shell steel are one for 4o,0O0 tons for France and another with maximum requirements Of 100000 tons. The procIama tion issued by British government prohibiting the im- portation into the United Kingdom of all machine tools except under certain con ditions has aroused much interest among machine tool manufacturers. It is evil dent, however that the government will permit all importations that it needs for it's own use or for the making of muni- tions by private concerns, but buying will be under government control, and 1t is expected in this way some of the unsat- isfactory conditions of the past will be eliminated. The demand for lathes and other tools continues very heavy from Russia

P|G IRON WITHHELD FROM THE MARKET Manufacturers Making Eff fort to Check Future
 Orders
ADVANCED PRICES
Some No. 2 Iron for First Quarter Delivery Quoted at $14 F. o. B. Birmingham-Ma Bir-
 mingham Quotation $15

Cleveland, O., December 16,-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 The sellers of pig iron and finished prod ucts are trying to check buying for future delivery, and are succeeding to some ex- tent but the demand continues very strong and prices are firm.
 MeltePs of pig iron are showing greatly increased interest in the market for last half next year and are endeavoring to contract for delivery during that pc riod. There is no uniformity of policy. but most furnaces are either refusing to quote at all for last half or are quoting at an adance of $1 over present prices. Some furnaces are, however willing to quote the same price for last half as now pre- vails for remainder of first half.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-17
SOUTHERN PRICE STRONG

Southern prices are strong, and while there is still some iron obtainable at S4 for No. foundry, Birmingham for first half, most sellers are quoting $l4.50, and one has advanced to s15. The statistical situation in eastern Pennsylvania is very strong, where orders on hand amount to about 5O0,o0o tons, wh:fe stocks are only about one-eighth of that tonnage. Along the lakes SIS seems to be the minimum quotation on malleable, basic and No. 2 foundry, and there is a scarcity of foun- dry grades. A number of sales for eX- tended delivery have been made in the east. including 15,000 to 20,000 tons on standard forge to Troy, N. Y, consumer by Buffalo furnace and 5000 to 10000 tons additional from d New York state furnace, making total recent purchases of the Troy concern about 30,000 tons. The price was about SIS delivered. Two Le- high Valley furnaces will furnish about 5000 tons of foundry and forge pig iron for the casting of the New York tunnel segments by Catasauqua, Pa, foundry, while a Buffalo furnace will furnish 12,0O0 tons for the segments to be made by a Buffalo concern and nearby furnaces will furnish that needed for the segments to be made by a Wheeling company.
 Structural contracts for November, ac- cording to statistics of the bridge build CTS and structural society, amounted to 1S0,O00 tons, the largest tonnage for one month in several years. but new projects are not developing rapidly, and many of the smaller shops in the central west are in need of business.

and spent most of his time praying
and begging his friends to- see the
error Of their ways. During his ring
career Cans made a fortune but got
rid of most of it in gambling Like
SO many other colored boys, he was
unable to resist the lure of a game of
craps and his experience with the

Baker looks like typical farmer
not the "rube'' of melodrama, but
the prosperous, progressive. intelli-
gent agriculturist who mixes gray
matter with his seeds at planting time.
He is five feet eleven inches in height,
is modest in manner, and always good
natured in spite of his vicious as
sauIts on the pill. He was born
March 10, 1886, in Trape, Md, sixty
miles from Baltimore. That village of
800 souls is still his home, and Baker
owns one of the finest farms in the
neighborhood.
Frank started his baseball career
with an ambition to shine as a pitch
err, but his comrades had no respect
for his delivery, and swatted it all
over the neighborhood. In 1906
he got a job with q semi professional
club in neighboring town. In 1907
he had try-out with the Baltimore
team in the Eastern league, but he
wasn't considered good enough. Base
ball players, like prophets, seldom
make good in their own bailiwick
In 1908 Baker played with Reading
in the Tri-state league, covering third
base. 1t was there that he attra& ed
the attention of Cornelius McGilli-
cuddy and in 1909 Baker blossomed
forth in the uniform of the Athletics
By his activity with the swatting in
strument he earned the title OF Home

HOLDERS ARE COMING
WIndh2In and New Britain High
FIvts Clash Tomorrow at "Cym."

The second last home game of the
New. Britain High school basketball
team will be played tomorrow after
noon against the Wlndham High
school of Willmantic at the school
gymnasium. The game promises to
be one Of the best Of the season as
the Windham High boys are the cham
pions of the eastern section of Con-
necticut New Britain High has de-
feated every; Nutmeg state team it.has
encountered except New Haven SO in
q measure the contest tomorrow af-
ternoon will be played for the cham
,pionship of the state. This is the first
game between the two schools in
many years but there has always been
more Or less rivalry between them.
The boys from the Thread city will
come here with the scalps Of every
team of Eastern Connecticut attached
tc their belt. They hope before leav-
ing to have added another labeled
New Britain, but they realize that this
cannot be accom- plished without play
ing an exceedingly fast game. The
veterans of last years five remain on
Windham's quintet this season. which
fact not only strengthens the team but
gives them renewed confidence and
somewhat discourages their oppon-
entS.
1t would take nothing less than the
championship Yale team to over-awe
the locals, however, and it would re-
ouire a team nearly as fast to defeat
them on their home floor. After a
somewhat disastrous long trip last
week the locals have settled down to
business with the sole intention of de-
fcating Hartford and incidentally cap
turing both games before that. SO
" it'll the regular five going strong, the
J Windham boys had better look to
