The steel market outlook continued
TO show improvement during the past
week. with the most encouraging fea-
ture being the betterment in domestic
demand. There was moe active buzz
ing of semi-nnished steel than has y
seen in ONE time. II was reported
toward the close Of the week that one
of the largest producers Of billets and
slabs had withdrawn from tho mar
ket.
In finished lines theirs has been . mod
crate demand. Car makers arc reported
10 have ordered about $4,000 tons OF
steel in connection with recent equip
ment orders received. and there are In
quiries before the market for douole

mand for plates builders have been
ablc to secure large price concessions
The ruling quotation has been Sl.20 per

sold nj si1o per 100 pounds, or 81

WESTINGHOUSE MAKES RIFLES.
Trip Admits Russian Order for
100000 Guns.

Guy +. Trip, chairman of the West
i%nghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company. told yesterday Of the order
the company had received from the Rus
sian Government for 100000 rifles.
after much indefinite and unconfrmed
talk about the matter. on which was
based a big speculation In Westinghouse
stock.
He said that the New England West
inghouse Company. with $4,000, 900
stock, all owned by the Westinghouse
Electric Company. has been incorpo-
rated in Massachusetts to take over the
property and assets of the Stevens Arms
and Tool Company and the stevens
Duryea Automobile Company. All the
rifles will be made a, these plants.
Officers OF tho Westinghouse com
pany were also quoted yesterday as con-
frming a report that arrangements were
being made with the Crucible Steel Com
pany 10 supply Westinghouse with the
steel needed for the rifles. Such con-
Nrmation was NOT forthcoming from
Westinghouse officers. though much
sought for, during tho period recently
when Crucible Steel stock was shooting
upward to 3+Hi. gaining nearly ~ points
In a week, Crucible Steel has now
fallen more than points from the
high.

THE COPPER MARKET.
Producers Look for Bfg Business
NEXT Week.

Big business next week was the gfst
OF what copper producers had 70 say
yesterday when they closed down their
desks for the double holiday. All have
admitted that the past three or four
weeks have been practically void OF
new buying orders. During the past
few days however. there was inquiry
which indicated that more copper was
needed against actual requirements and
that the real booking OF new orders
would start with the beginning OF the
month OF juno.
An interview with John d. Ryan was
wired from Butte yesterday. He ex-
pressed the belief that the copper In
dustry would receive An added spurt
at tho conclusion Of tho war rather
than a setback. as was 20 generally
expected. This he attributed 10 the
great amount of eplecement work that
must take place. involving millions OF
pounds OF copper.
Although copper vas quiet during the
past week the same could not be said
OF either spelter or lead. for there were
strong advances and big sales in both
OF these metals.
Spelt.r WAS most sensational, and
its prices. varying according to Grade
Went, far above tho 20 cent mark.
Prime Western grades eold up TO 23is
fen'S " Ipbulu " ~bSs
specials rosa 10 25 and 81 cents. while
the best grades were close to 80 cents
q pound. Increased production for IN"
largest producer. the Butte and Supe-
rior Company. was arranged for in new
smelling capacity.
Lead prices were advanced BY the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany in an astonishing manner. h
compay, the largest idividua lead fac
tor in this country. had been nom'nally
quoting for moro than a month at 40
cents a pound. Independents a been
selling up to 40 cents. Early In the
week the American Smelling Company
price was raised 10 points TO 40 cents,
while subsequent advances were made In
mis- order: 40. $50. AS cents. which
was named yesterday morning.
Demand for lead IL expected TO In
crease moro in the future than II has
In the past, and those producers who
have been confidently predicting five
cent lead are more confident that the
price will get above this level under
continued firm buying.

THE CURB MARKET.

There was an entire absence OF speo-
ulative initiative In inc curb market
yesterday and prices drifted uncertainty.
The list as a whole was rather heavy
in tone. but the volume OF dealings and
price changes were too small to % OF
significance. American Zinc closed -
lower, while International Petroleum

Congressman G. G. Dill, writing
from the national capital, says !:
"When l came to Washington
about Nov. l, Mr.. Bryan was ap-
parently the only man of impor-
tance here who was yoicing op-
position to the preparedness plan

which means the spending of
$4O0,000,000 to $500,000,000 for
increases of the army and navy.
A few days later Mr.. Kitchin, the
majority leader of the House, an
nounced his opposition. Champ
Clark, the speaker, told the presi-
dent that he was for a reason
able" increase in the army and
navy, and most of the congress
men and senator's who offered to
support a program for greater de-
Tense gave out statements quail
tying their support in various
ways. In many instances they
do not hesitate to say that their
constituents are writing them op-
posing any great increases.
About this time some of the
newspaper men here who repre-
sent the big dailies in the various
large cities of the country began
to question whether the program
would go through. The president
then announced that he would
make this a non-partisan question,
and that he would ask the repub-
lican leaders to confer with him.
Mr.. Mann, the republican leader
of the House, on his arrival in
Washington, stated he would ac-
cept the presidents invitation to
talk over the preparedness pro-
gram, but he would not take
orders from the White House.. "
His further statement that the re-
publicans will act as they think
best regardless of the admins
tration, is taken to mean that the
president must take what he can
get in the way of support for
preparedness from the minority.
81 know from talking with var
ious members of congress now
here that the fight against the
preparedness plan will be made by
turning the enemy's flank, to use
a military term, as well as by
frontal attacks. They propose to
direct attention to the subject of
expenditures and are already Sc
curing much publicity along this
line. The two questions they put
forward are: Who is to pay the
billsY Why should any one profit
by war preparations9"

est amount of money in cireula-
ton and the greatest percentage
of employed labor in history, the
return of general prosperity in
the United States is only a mat
ter of good planning and judi

The republican press, more
especially that of the eastern
states, which enjoyed the protec-
ton of their manufacturers and
the use of cheap imported labor
under the republican tariff, find
the pill of present prosperity hard
to swallow. The "solid indus
trial policies of the republican
party" caused it's defeat, and the
party's unbroken record for ad-
herence to that policy for the
benefit of a few industries and a
small proportion of the popula-
ton, and at the expense of the
larger portion, is so well known
that the opportunity for the re-
establishment of republican
tariff is remote. The republican
party has hoped for hard times ;
has talked hard times; has proph-
esied hard times, and now seeks
to explain good times in such a
manner as to make party capital.
AS it can not be done, those who
reckon upon a return of the con-
ditions which caused the republi-
cans to lose power are reckoning
without their former host of
voters.-Colfax Commoner.

tending a three-day prosperity

"What are your health assets

ever ask yourself that question:
You would not think of running

Why run your body without get

show if there are any losses or

eff you have an automobile,

that are wearing out or need re-
pair. If you have a fine horse,
pig, cow or even a hen, you
wouldn't think of neglecting 1T.
You give it regular inspections to
see if it is keeping up to the

A New York city dispatch to
the Review says: Merchants
here say Americans have more
money to spend for Christmas
this year than in any holiday sea-
son since 1906. The big stores
are preparing for record trade
and wholesale houses are unable
to fill orders in many lines. This
is attributed to a rush of buyers
from other cities to replenish de-
pleted stocks. L. S. Pelz, secre-
tary Of the Wholesale and Retail
Merchants Association, said to-
day that the merchants of New
York have never known better

ministration nor could I see any
reason to complain should the re-

again. The party does not make

the increase in business. After
