HEAT CAUSES
STEEL SLUMP
Reduction in Output in Pitts
burgh District Large; Big
Earnings
The Iron Age to-day says:

Surprising the highest estimates,
the Steel Corporations $4,000, 900
earnings in the past quarter, reported
on Tuesday, following two remarkable
statements of independent steel COM
panies, confirm what the market has
lately shown of the exceptional po-
si1on of the producers of steel. Along
with heavy tonnages of untitled orders
and the large purchases Europe is yet
to make in this country. they point to
stronger market in the remainder of
the year than was indicated one or two
months ago.
Tho week has brought a new crop
OF rumors of large shell orders.
To the firmer stand of the steel
companies on contract enforcement
and the large percentage of orders ex-
listing in the form of specifications has
been credited the recent caution of do
mestic buyers as to far forward delvi-
cries. But the new developments in
prediction of a September buying
movement.
The heat continues to cause an un-
usual curtailment of output through
out the country-a factor on which
more stress is being laid. In the Pitts
burgh district the reduction last week
is put at IS to 20 per cent"

No Indication of Attack
in Vicinity of SaIoniki

Athens, July 26.-Following lengthy
references between General Mescho-
poulus commander of the Greek forces
at Saloniki, and King Constantine and
the Greek general staff, the impression
is general in military circles at Athens
to-day that a resumption of hostilities
in Macedonia between the entente and
the central powers is not imminent
There are no indications that Salo-
niki will be attacked. The Austro-
Germans have fewer than a brigade of
troops and the Bulgars have only ten
divisions on the Saloniki front and
consequently military observers point
out, they are not in a position to un-
dertake an assault on the formidable
Macedonian stronghold.
