 Car business is growing the rail- roads having become adjusted to the nigh prices, and car works could make good deliveries if they could get plates. On 60,0OO tons of car steel just sold at Chicago some of the plates cannot be had until after the middle of 1917. France is about to place 5000 to 5000 freight cars here and for domestic railroads more than ll,OOO cars are under inquiry. Indications are that the railroads have only started on their equipment buy ing

NO IMPROVEMENT
 INSTEEL SITUATION
Prices Climb As Demand for Sup
 ply Becomes Greater
The Iron Age said yesterday:

The first real pinch of car shortage cut down shipments at some Pitts burgh district steel works in the past week, and here and there more has been heard of labor shortage. De- liveries are not improving and all in dications are that the tension will in crease rather than relax
 Domestic buying of finished steel for delivery after Jan. 1 is not heavy. Following various sellers refusa1s to consider forward contracts a good many consumers are now disposed to take the market as they find it. Now and then surprisingly early deliveries seem to be available, but such cases are only eddies in a generally strong current.
 There are signs of fresh export buying for every day rather than war purposes. It is now several months since the last considerable demand of this sort. Italy is a large general buyer, all apart from the Italian in- quiry for 45,00O tons of billets for shells, on which delivery is asked as soon as it can be made. Wire, plates, and tin plates are wanted in large quantities for various foreign mar kets.
 In prices the most significant change is an advance of soc to 75c in basic iron in the middle west, or to $19 at Valley furnace, and a corre- spending rise in Bessemer iron. Tn semi-fnished steel the situation is in dicated by an advance of $5 by a large producer in the contract price of sheet bars. Sheet prices are notably stronger; another advance in wire products is looked for but has not come and for bars and structural shapes mill prices for early delivery have been raised by some producers In one case an offer of 3.75c on 4S,OOO tons of plates for 1917 was refused. the mill holding for 4c.
 All the calculations of the large producers of steel look to the full operation of an increased capacity far into next year. One Eastern com- pany has reserved a large amount of Lake Superior ore for 1917 and may take as much more, and another Pennsylvania steel interest has taken

"If ever a people should pause, if ever they should look abroad and profit by the experiences of others, should comprehend their nation al dangers in the light of the terrible realities that are being enact ed before their eyes in other nations, it is now, and We are that people,
 In these words Frank A. Vanderlip of New York, addressing the Ameri- can Bankers association in conven- ton in Kansas City, Mo-, warned his hearers they should not take too easily the present great wealth of this country that "seems dangerously like ly to submerge us in our own pros perity.
 q believe the greatest need of the day-and a need so fundamental as to make other matters inconsequential in comparison--is universal military, in dustrial and economic preparedness.'
 He asked for training in military service for all men, greater savings by all classes and greater efficiency in in- dustrial pursuits.

CONCERTED ACTION
 EXPRESSES PRICES
Professional Selling Affects
 Shares on Wall Street

New York, Sept. 3O.-Concerted origin, were made to depress prices soon after today's opening, the lead ing industrials, coppers and rails abruptly declining two or almost five points. Selling of United States Steel and Republic and Crucible Steels were especially extensive to- gether with Union Pacific and Ameri- can Smelling. Recessions of two to three points occurred in other promi- nent issues with the first hours sales again on the basis of two million shares for a full day. The market rallied later on a demand for coalers, Norfolk and Western making a new high record. Lehigh Valley advanced to it's best quotation in years. The closing was irregular. Bonds were firm.
 Wall St., 10:30 a. m.-Irregular changes recorded at the outset of to- days session suggested further profit taking rather than the usual weekend settlemen of professional contracts. United States and Union Pacific showed losses of one to two points, and in the case of the former this was soon extended to almost four points. There were neutral1z1ng features in the initial dealings, some of the industrials and equipments rising from substantial fractions to over two points. Before the end or the first half hour selling increased, the list developing a heavy undertone.

 Dyspepsia and indigestion are not |the most common diseases but the most common symptoms of other dis eases. Often they are caused by poor {. blood.
 You need certain digestive juices to 5nvert your food into a form in which
 can be taken up by the system. These juices, or secretions, are fur, khished by the blood. If your blood is &xjch and pure, digestion will go on un- disturbed. If your blood is poor, load ea with impurities, your stomach will fgest only part of your food and the est will ferment, rot and make you gel miserable.
