CAR BUILDERS
PLAYING SAFE

Builders of cars from various Sec
tons of the country are asking steel
mills to make reservations on their
mill schedules Of heavy tonnages OF
steel material used in constructing
cars. This fact would appear to indi-
cate the imminence of important car
buying by railroads. This seems fur
ther corroborated by more earnest
thought being given to the likelihood
of a serious car shortage this fall.

CHICAGO BAR
ADVANCE HOLDS

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-New prices
on bar iron announced the first of
this week, which increased the quota
ton from 1.25c to 1850, Chicago mill,
appear to be we'll sustained. All
makers apparently felt the time was
ripe to obtain better price for their
product and no tendency to shade the
price has been exhibited. The increase
was based upon an excellent founda-
ton, wrought raw material entering
into the manufacture of iron bars hav-
ing become more costly; and while
present stocks of scrap in mill yards
we're bought below present quotations,
it will be necessary to replace these
at higher prices. At the same time
specifications and new demand for bar
iron have been increasing steadily and
are now much more active than during
the summer. Consumers have not
protested seriously at the higher cost
of this material and business appears
to be going ahead on the new level
without interruption.

NOT
AFTER TONNAGE

Rogers, Brown & Co., Cincinnati,
in their weekly letter on the pig iron
market, says:
"More advances in price this week.
This it not a rubber stamped sentence,
although from the regularity with
which it appears week after week in
the pig iron reports one might almost
be led to believe that to be the case.
The Chicago district, which has here
tofore been the weakest point, is the
aggressor. Sales in that district show
decided improvement. Considerable
interest has been shown in the east
in steel making irons-one consumer
closing for $4,000 tons. Buying in the
Philadelphia territory was active.
'In spite of this tendency on the
part of furnacemen, inquiries continue
to come in and some good sized ton
nages are now being negotiated in
this territory. Shipments on existing
contracts continue very encouraging.

BIRMINGHAM, Sept. .23.-Apart
from the continued success of Ger
many against Russia, the war this
week is fairly favorable. Germany
finds flies in the ointment of her ex-
ultation over Russian victories in the
undeniable fact that her great eastern
enemy still is unbeaten. It is equally
undeniable that, whatever be the posi-
ton of Germany, England in men and
munitions is stronger than at any time
since the war began.
Khaki Not in Evidence.
Khaki is not so much in evidence
here as it was, for the sufficient rea-
son that its wearers have gone to
Flanders and the Dardanelles. To fill
the reserve gaps thus made, recruit
ing is going on briskly though not fast
enough for the conscriptionists, who
have fairly split the country over this
heated controversy. While this is un-
fortunate, no serious consequences are
likely to ensue. The average Britisher
declines to get excited, we'll knowing
that the government will use it's un-
doubted powers to compel service
when the need arises. We have had

of the depreciation Of British currency

that the currency question alone
might easily mean IS ($1.44) added

Spelter has been somewhat easier

week it rebounded 10 pounds ($48) per

this recurrence Of boom tendencies,
believing that the fall will continue.
However, the market is stagnant,

which are expected to ensue when

BRITISH BUSINESS MEN SLOW
TO TAKE UP WITH PAPER MONEY

another big coal strike, much to every.
body's disgust; but, happily, the stop.
page was short. The financial position
continues good, though we regret the
depreciation Of British money in
America. At all events, this fur.
nishes additional testimony of Ameri.
cas- contribution to the settlement OF
the war in the right way.
Gold Slow in Appearing.
In view of the fact that the govern
ment's appeal to business men to use
paper money instead Of gold has
brought only about 100000 pounds
into the bank reserves, some people
are demanding compulsory withdraw
al of gold from general circulation.
There is suggestion Of panic in this,
which might more than counterbalance
any possible benefits; and it is I'M
likely therefore, that the government
will be bullied into gold prohibition,
any more than it has been bullied into
CONSUMPTION. The Germans shipping
harvest becomes smaller by degrees
and beautifully less, and, in view of
the total bulk passing in and out Of
our ports, is nearly negligible. Pos
sibly, the war boom is responsible for
the fact that the number of bank
ruptcies during the war years is the
smallest since the act of 1883 came
into operation. Manchester trade has
become almost normal, and last weeks
turnover of $3.50, 1876 pounds is nearly
two million above that for the CORES
ponding period year ago.

PRICES HARDEN
NEAR MAXIMUM
Valley Pig Iron Market Keeps Up
Tendency to Firmness as
Sales Are Made.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 23.-Although
not much active pig iron buying has
taken place this week, prices Of all
grades have hardened. Bessemer iron
has been we'll pegged at SIG ton in
the valleys and it is probable iron
will be held at that figure until buy
ing for next year begins. Scattering
small lots of this grade have been sold
this week to domestic meters and
Italian interests have obtained options
on fairly heavy tonnages. Sales Of
valley bessemer iron for shipment to
Italy have involved no less than TO-
900 tons the last six months.
The Sharpsville Furnace Co. is pre-
pairing it's Sharpsville, Pa, stack for
the torch and will come in about the
middle of October on bessemer iron.
1t is understood a local broker, who
will furnish the stack fuel, will sell
the output for at least six months.
Fully $500 tons Of standard basic
iron have been sold at SIS, valley, this
week. Sales at that figure involve
one lot Of 1000 tons, one of 1900 tons
and another of 1900 tons, all Of which
will be shipped to consumers in this
district. The bulk Of the SIS, valley,
iron has been sold to middlemen.
The foundry iron market shows
more snap and reflects strength. Some
dealers are offering No. foundry and
malleable irons at $14.50, valley, for
this years shipment. 1t appears GER
tain, however, that the $14.52 price
will be withdrawn at an early date.
More important consumers are under
cover for the remainder of the year
and no evidence of iron being offered
at less than SIS, valley, for delivery
after Jan. l can be found. Specifica-
tons for foundry grades gradually
are increasing in volume and owners
of foundries say prospects for the
remainder of the year steadily are i'm
proving.

STEEL'S SWING
IS EVER UPWARD

Iron and steel works which have
taken large orders for material that
eventually will find it's way to Euro
pean belligerents, have settled down
to pretty steadily jogging rate of
operations. Their mills as to certain
sizes have been booked for months
ahead, some not being able to COM
plete deliveries on all the material
scheduled for as much as four and
five months from this date. And even
larger tonnages now are being offered,
but mills competent to roll large ton
nages of the offered shrapnel bar are
so we'll cooked that they not only are
refusing to take on more tonnage but
also are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of
advancing their price, which has been
around 3 cents per pound for this
material, to cents a pound. No de-
cision has been taken as to this latter
price. But mills that have not been
taking these indirect war orders are
not doing a great deal better than
several months ago.
Wire products Saturday were ad-
vanced 81 a ton. The usual advance
has been at the rate Of 81 ton. De-
mand at home is said to be improving;
but heavy tonnages, especially OF
barbed wire for use by the warning
nations of Europe continue to be
rolled and also to be offered to the
mills for figures. Since steel bars
have advanced, cold rolled steel shaft
ing also is higher by 81 ton, at least
in some sections of the country.
Pig iron prices are held firmly AT
all leading centers; and while new
buying is not heavy, this is not re-
garded as anything else than favorable
because most legitimate consumers OF
iron have bought freely on the pres.
ent movement. Speculative buying
of iron continues to be discouraged
by the furnaces.

STEEL FOR ARTILLERY.
Tremendous Pressure the Barrels %
Big Guns Must Bear.

Tremendous Pressure the Barrels %
Big Guns Must Bear.
Modern high powered guns could not
be built without steel strong enough to
resist the enormous pressures to which
they are subjected. Few understand
how great these pressures are-almost
as far beyond ordinary comprehension
as are the distances Of the stars or the
number Of atoms in glass of water.
An attempt to state the matter in q
form that will mean something to the
ordinary mind is made by contribu'
tor to La Nature in an article entitled
THE Strains Resisted by Gun Metal
He writes:
when the marvels Of modern artil-
lery are described perhaps we direct
our admiration too exclusively to the
mechanicians who have combined to
construct it. We must not. however,
forget the metallurgist, for it is owing
to the astonishing qualities of the metal
that the gun is so we'll able to resist
the enormous strain due to the detona-
ton OF the explosive.
1T Is interesting to cite here some
figures published by Commandant Reg
nault. At each discharge Of gun. In
the case Of our field pieces, in less than
three-tenths Of second the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the square inch,
and the speed Of the projectile leaving
the muzzle is more than $500 feet 8
second.
The energy developed may be put
ut about 100000 foot pounds. In 9th
er words. considering the cannon as q
motor working during an exceedingly
short time, we may place its rating al
about 20,O00,0O0 horsepower.
Not only must the metal be made to
resist these strains time after time. but
to do so under unfavorable conditions
such as the high temperatures produc.
ed by the explosives. And not only
must the metal OF the gun be as strong
as this, but it is the same with that of
the shell. The shell of our seventy
five supports pressure estimated al
seventeen tons. The work Of the de-
vice that takes up the recOil reaches
about twelve tons to the square inch
and the mount neutralizes at each dis
charge about two tons.
In fact, these conditions are realiz
ed in quite a remarkable way. 1t has
been possible to test in the machine
shop the pieces Of battery that has
fired several thousand shots and t.
show that they have suffered not the
slightest reformation.
This is why it is necessary t. em
ploy special steels. The use of nickel
in proportion Of per cent to pei
cent. gives to steel special qualities"

War DISTRICTS
Pig IRON TRADE
Of England Even With Buyers in
Scotland-Finished Iron and.
Steel Lines Strong.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Sept. 23.-Pie
iron market is steadying little. For
the past week prices have been almost
stationary, both in the midlands and
the north of England. Middlesborc
continues to suffer from the enor-
NOUS war obstacles to export. Dur
ing August that port shipped 43,O98
tons of pig iron and 59,627 tons of
manufactured iron and steel. For
pig iron Italy was the best customer
taking 1926 tons. All Scotch iron
has to be sent away by rail, through
certain admiralty restrictions. The
total shipments Of warrants were IT,
900 tons. Warrant stocks decreased
during August 5000 tons, a figure
which suggests that the drastic re-
duction of output is beginning to tell.
Won't Blow in Stacks.
1t seems unlikely that more fur
naces will be blown out until the urg-
ency of such a step is much more
clearly apparent than at present. The
present selling figure tMiddlesboro
is 65s ($15.60), and the amount in
store $4,000 tons. Yesterdays quo
tations in Birmingham were about
IS ($1.20) to IS $1.44) lower than
they were a week ago, but quotations
were decidedly firmer than of late.
The chief element leading to weak
ness is the practical stoppage of cast
pipe orders, and the holding up of
contracts for municipalities. Apart
from the local propensity for econ
omy, the government will not sane
ton any large expenditure which is
not of life and death Importance.
Finished Lines Strong.
No department Of finished iron and
steel shows any weakness correspond
ing to that prevailing in pig iron dur
ing the last month. At Birmingham
yesterday some firms were inclined
to ask higher prices for common iron,
one quotation being IL pounds
($57.6O), exactly the same as best
iron. The steel trade continues active.
Yesterday an agent Of the French
government was in Birmingham with
substantial orders to place for war re-
quirements. They we're tempting,
alike in price and quantity, but the
firms to whom they were offered were
already heavily committed to the Brit
ish government and unable to prom
Use the delivery asked for by the end

lea have undoubtedly strengthened

The offers Of foreign billets are now
few and far between, and the prices
are not tempting, especially in view
