WEATHER IS SOURCE OF

Man Says More

"Ah, this is fine-fine." exclaimed Il
well known merchant, as he emerged
from his store, rubbed his hands to-
gether after the approved fashion, and
threw open his coat to the balmy
breeze of yester morn.
You couldn't find better weather
anywhere in the United States. Isn't
this grand Gay?'
What did it matter that no one was
directly addressed by the well known
merchant? He was speaking right out
of his happy and contented heart, and
he didn't give cuss that no one but a
wandering reporter happened to hear
him
ImpeIied by the idea that it was Il
pretty good old sort of a day, at that,
said reporter climbed the stairs to the
weather observatory of r. Briggs and
put the question. Mr. Briggs agreed
that it was d nice day, and that it
would be repeated New Years.

twenty years ago military men, both
German and foreign. were accustomed
to look to him as leader of Germany's
armies in the event Of war as he
had acquired great reputation as
strategist. But the war did not come
in time to give him his great oppor-
tunity He had fought through three
wars against Denmark in 1864.
against Austria in 1866 and against
France in 1870, but he was then too
young to attain high rank, and when
the present war broke out he was too
old to command an army Though he

To the Ed tor of The Age-Herald: Permit me to say few words on the article, "A Hyphenated American' that appeared in your paper November r. [ have been a reader of The Age-Her- aid for over 10 years, and when this war first began, I think, America was almost affected with an anti-German newspaper disease However, she IS gradually over- coming it.

 I, too, am a naturalized German-Amer- ican citizen, and have this country at heart first, last and at all times. al- though having been born in Duesseldorf, on the banks of the River Rhine, I sym pathize with Germany, since I have a brother and other relatives in this war.
 The writer from Cullman would like to see every powder plant in America blow up without loss of life You told him in the article of yesterdays paper, "He would be quite willing to cripple the United States in order that Germany might win the war" I don't believe in blowing up any factory or any American plarts, nor any other plants of indus try, as far as that matters. but I do be- Iieve that instead of working for the destruction of any country. we, Amer jeans. should first have seen after a safe ly conducted commerce, and so made clean, righteous money dealing with cot ton etc. We would then not have needed blood money to make murder tools' which bring indescribable conditions among millions of fathers, mothers and innocent little children.

STEEL. PRODUCTS
 ARE AT APREMIUM Delivery Not Guaranteed on
 Plates and Bars
THE PRICES ADVANCE
Activity of Steel Corporation Followed by Other Companies-Ore Ship ments Become Heavy and Lake
 Vessels Receive Big Contracts

Cleveland. November 17-(Special.)
 The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
 say:
 The Steel corporation and leading in-
 dependents continue to quote s1.60
 Pittsburg on shapes, plates and bars.
 But they do not guarantee any de-
 livery and for prompt delivery inde-
 pendent companies are having no diff
 ficulty in obtaining handsome pre-
 miums, the usual quotation for im-
 mediate shipment being 2 cents Pitts
 burg. Prices of other finished mate
 ria1s are also advancing. The recent
 advance of $1 ton in wire products
 makes the quotations on those products
 the highest since 1909
 SOUTHERN IRON AT SIS
 Deals in eastern Pennsylvania have
 involved about 10000 tons of basic and
 supplemental orders for various grades
 placed in New York make a consider
 able tonnage. There has been fair ac-
 tivity through the central west and
 prices are strong. In Chicago s17.50 is
 now the minimum on foundry, malle-
 able and basic. Quotations at Cleveland
 have been pushed up 50 cents and in
 the south the only iron obtainable as low as SIS is some resale tonnage which was bought number of months
 ago at about S10. Prices in southern Ohio have been advanced to a basis of S16.50 Ironton for No. 2. Under the leadership of the Pittshurg Steamship company ore shippers have contracted for about all the vessel tonnage avail able to carry ore for next years deliv- cry at 50 cents per ton, an advance of 10 cents over this years rate. The ac- tivity of the Steel corporation was un- expected and was quickly followed by other companies.
 For large rounds, as high as cents per pound has been paid and numerous transactions involving large tonnages have been made at somewhat lower pirces. Ordinary steel bars for domestic consump- tion have been sold as high as cents. Companies quoting $160 Pittsburg are not able to give deliveries on large sizes in less than six months and on small sizes in less than three months.
 RAILROAD INQUIRIES The 11,O70-ton gondolas for which the Pennsylvania railroad is now inquiring, will require 220,O0O tons of plates and shapes in their construction. Ore handling companies have been advised that these cars will be used next year in the ore traffic, and that all trestles must be strengthened to insure safety. Cleveland mills are having no difficulty in obtaining cents for plates. Buying of equipment by manufacturers of muni- tions has been very active in the machin- cry market during the past week, a Rochester company being among the heavy buyers in placing an order for about $200,000 worth of equipment. The principal output of the company will be S-inch howitzers.
 The export demand continues heavy, but is not as active as in past months. Buy ing of equipment for plant extensions is very active at Pittsburg and New Eng land plants are also taking a great deal of equipment for additions to their ca pacity.

Premier Count Okuma, who hitherto has taken part in the coronation celebration, notwithstanding his advanced age and i'll health, was unable to attend the feasts today.
 Only music of the allies was played today at the second of the great national feasts provided by the Emperor in cele- bration of his coronation. German music was barred on account of the war
 In contradstinction to the first feast held last night when the music was en- tirely that of old Japan that of today was entirely modern. Court musicians ren- dered selections by modern composers of France. Russia and Italy, including airs by Nassenet, Bizet, Verdi and the Russian genius Seriapin, who died several months ago. The selection was left to Professor William Duvoravitch, musician attach ed to the household department.
 Todays feast which began at noon in the Nijo palace was purely modern, both as to menu and entertainment. The members of the diplomatic corps. includ- ing George w. Guthrie, the American ambassador, and Mrs. Guthrie were pres ent. as were also the ministers of state, nobles, other dignitaries and representa- tives of the Diet.
