The steel structural business. while
less active last week. Ia developing salts
factorlly, especially In the Eastern terri
tory. where contracts In prospect will re-
quire nearly $4,000 tons OF steel. half
Of which will be used In subway and
elevated railroad extensions. Bridge
and building contracts placed last week
call for about $4,000 tons OF fabricated
structural shapes. Since May ! the
f~abricators have taken orders for nearly
$4,000 tons Of steel. OF which about h.
600 tons are for railroad bridges. The
indication Is that the May contracts
will amount to about $50, 900 tons, as a
liberal tonnage has been carried over
from previous months Of which no previ-
Gus official recognition has been given.
The Commercial Power Company OF
New Haven has placed a contract for
300 tons OF structural steel for n power

Blast furnace interests reported orders
last week for between rs. 900 to 100, 900
tons OF pig iron. OF which about $4,000
ton was derived from the territory
east OF the Allegheny Mountains. Most
OF the business In the East il being
quietly negotiated and some orders, are
being placed without general iuqu ry.
II is estimated that between 10000 and
5000 tons rave been ordered in this
way recently. Fully as much more is
under negotiation. Railroad equipment
manufacturers have bought "A moderate
tonnage OF malleable bessemer and gray
foundry iron for this years delivery and
are st!ll NEGOTIATING for 5000 TO 10000
tons for delivery during the first half
Of 1917.
In the pittsburS district the principal
purchases were made by the United
Steel Company Of Canton. Ohio. and by
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company plant at Cleveland.
The American Steel Founders are still
negotiating for about 5000 tons. and the
American Brake Shoe and Foundry
Company for about $500 tons OF foun-
dry grades, while the National Enamel.

WHAT DO YOU OWE
 TO YOUR COMMUNITY !?

Friend, stop and think what you owe to your community. But first stop and think what your community has done for you.
 How many men in your com- munity have accumulated what they have outside that com- munity?
 Now, how was it possible for you to accumulate proper ty? Was it purely by your own exertions, or did not business conditions contribute largely to the result? If you are far mer, and were your farm a hundred miles from civiliza- ton, what would it profit you? How much wealth could you amasS?
 No, your holdings are not solely the result of your own energy. The entire population of your community has con- tributed to your upbuilding.
 What though you are the most capable lawyer or doctor, if you are located in a sparsely settled country where there is little demand for your services, what does your capability pro- fit you?
