WAR ORDERS MAKE
STEEL MILLS HUM
Entire Years Open Hearth Output
Sold; Wages Increase; New
Mills Going Up

THE main features of the steel
situation. says the Iron Age in its
weekly review to-day, ARE the large
amounts of new war business offered,
particularly in bars and wire, and the
fact that the possible open hearth
steel output of the remaining months
of this year is practically all under
contract. Thus the very moderate
pace at which new domestic business
Is coming in brings no misgivings.
Some parts of the industry, par
ticularly those merchant furnaces at
which wages were reduced as pig iron
prices went below cost last year, are
now facing higher labor cost. A few
wage advances have been announced.
There is yet no actual scarcity of
labor, but the bidding of new NUM-
tions plans for skilled labor drawn
from other operations is being felt in
the iron trade. Not only are iron and
steel works missing the thousands of
men who have come from Europe at
every previous turn of the tide here,
but they have lost some thousands to
Europe this year
There are signs that with each
month the war is taking larger part
of the country's steel production. One
OF these is the increasing reticence of
steel makers as to war contracts. 1t
is understood, however that 10000
tons of round bars was booked at Chi
cago in the past week, also that 40.-
600 tons of rounds went to Pitts
burgh and $4,000 tons to a Mahoning
Valley plant.
There seems no end to the barb
wire demand from Europe Inquiries
cover about 100000 tons, including
one for $4,000 tons of painted barb
wire which has come up at Cleve-
land. Foreign buyers are even trying
to get hold of warehouse stocks. The
high prices due to this export de-
mand now promise to cut down home
consumption of fence wire.
THE possibility that war orders for
large bars may fill up certain rail
mills for the early months of 1916
has started no rail buying as yet, and
steel makers are not soliciting rail
business. At Chicago the st. Paul
road has closed for it's structural and
other steel for 1916, repeating this
years order. The Pennsylvania has
placed $500 to 1000 tons of bridge
work, and the Santa Fe is in the mar
ket for its 1916 requirements.
pig iron is higher in the East and
the advancing tendency continues,
though less strongly marked, in Cen
trail Western and Southern irons. Buy
ing for 1916 is small, but meanwhile
the producers ideas of next year s
prices are higher"

Depreciation in Value

BY 1tsoeiated Press

Pittsburgh, Sept 2.-The demoral-
ization of the foreign exchange mar
ket owing to the depreciation in value
of English money is not affecting the
Pittsburgh district, where immense
quantities of war munitions are being
manufactured. according to local bank
ers and manufacturers. They declare
that practically all the European or
ders placed so far in this district have
been made on the basis of so many
American dollars for SO much finished
product. Local bankers say that there
has been practically no London ex-
change business from Pittsburgh for
more than year and the only posi- BILE
harm that could come would be
through the cancellation of existing
orders. This, however, they declare,
would be improbable. for most of the
orders have been accompanied by sub
