HEAVY DEMANDFO
STEEL PRODUCTS
Many Orders Are Being
Filed With the
Mills
By Hop

New York, October 22.-The demand
for steel last week continued phenome-
nally heavy. Definite inquiries for rolled
and forged steel now are in excess of
100000 tons. including billets, bars.
plates, shapes, sheets, tin plates, rails.
wire products, pipe and railroad sup
plies. Only about one-tiird of the orders
offered are being accepted but it is pre-
dicted that when consumers realize the
'futility of asking for deliveries that cam
not be made and accept more fully COM
mitments for late 1917 and early 1918 ship
ment, the volume of new business will
be increased.
Prospective orders for an additional
100000 tons are in sight, including 300.-
600 tons for ordnance for the United
States government, and approximately
$4,000 tons of shell steel for the entente
allies for late 1917 shipment. Railroad
equipment orders placed call for 10000
tons of steel. including rails, track sup
plies and for bars, plates and shapes.
Among the contracts placed for motive
power are 100 trench locomotives for
Great Britain, so standard gauge for
France, 20 for Finland and six for Spain.
Rail inquiries amount to 100000 tons.
Home shipbuilders have placed orders
for 5000 tons of plates and shapes and
100000 tons more are under negotiation.
Structural work is more active: orders
placed calling for 5000 tons of steel
shapes.
Buying of pig iron for the second half
of 1917 has begun, but sales are not
large. Contracts for shipments up to
July next year amounted to 100000 tons
in all sections. Steel making iron is
again more active in the west. with Bes-
semer 81 to 81 higher.

THE WEEKS ACTIVITIES IN TRADE
WEEKLY REVIEW OF
THE STOCK MARKET

New York, October 22.-wor1d-wide
demand for American products was
again the main factor in last weeks
stock market operations, trading
maintaining the swift pace of the pre-
ceding six weeks ON daily transac-
tons ranging from 100000 to almost
100000 shares. In the main these deal
ings Were attended by higher levels,
some prominent stocks making new
records
United States Steel held undisputed
sway. rising to 1908, the smallest
fraction under its maximum and a re-
covery for the week of more than IL
points. Other industrials of the same
class were strong and equipments and
motors were materially higher with
coppers and all base metals. The move
ment was strengthened by higher
prices for fabricated steel and iron.
an increased demand for copper and
the spectacular grain and cotton mar
kets.
Another interesting development was
the general strength of minor rails in
ciuo1ng the shares of companies still
under receiyership. Many of these
lines are showing earnings compar-
able with those of leading transporta-
ton systems and the outlook for these
properties is brighter than at any time
in the last decade.
International issues were relatively
heavy, fact attributed to the report
ed flotation of another large British
loan in this country.
Another important foreign UNDER
taking was announced in large
French commercial center which may
attain the sum of 800, 100000. 1t is
understood that more South Amer
lean credits are to be extended; also
Russian loan covering further pro-
posed purchases of supplies is work
Ing toward completion.
There were no Indications that the
coming election is causing more than
passing interest.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
THE COTTON MARKET
Price of Futures Lifted to
Highest Point in
Years

New Orleans, October 22.-Prices of fu-
lures were lifted to the highest points
ever scored in the local cotton market
by the hurricane which struck a part
of the belt last Wednesday At the same
time, spots were quoted at the highest
since about 1870. At the best Of the
week the July option sold at 1917 cents
a pound and middling cotton was quoted
at 1880 cents.
1t was rising market on the first
two days of the week, but Wednesday
since future trading was instituted here
Within a few minutes after the opening
the strongest months were SO to SO points
up, or practically $3.50 a bale. This was
the widest rise in a few minutes time in
the memory of the Oldest traders about
the ring, although there have been whole
sessions in which wider fluctuations have
been registered.
At its highest the market last week
was 12S to 1874 points over the previous
weeks close. Liquidation on an enormous
scale set in on Wednesdays advance, and
during the rest of the week was almost
constantly In evidence, which had the
effect of offsetting, to a great extent, the
frost and freeze which visited the cot
ton region Friday and Saturday. The
close was at a net gain for the week
of 50 to S6 points.
This week the market will probably be
influenced largely by the census bureau
report on ginning to October IT, This
report is due Wednesday and is expected
to cause much liquidation during the
first two sessions of the new week, since
forecasts, thus far, have indicated large
output. Possibly the trade does not ex-
pect figures under 100000 bales, while
one prominent guesser puts the total at
7720,000 bales. A year ago ginning to
October II amounted to 5,710,824 bales.

Control of Necessaries.

Omaha, Oct. 23.-To the Editor of
The Bee: The European governments
have found it necessary to step in and
take control Of the price Of goods
and apparel for the common people.
The heartless spectators in the war
ring countries were boosting the
prices of provisions and wearing ap-
parel to a point which meant starva-
ton to the people. It Is the manifest
duty of a government to step in and
protect its people, which every Euro
pean government has done.
1t is high time that our government
did the same. A congressional in
vestigation should be made into the
cost of living. For instance, we are
just advised that the price of shoes
have taken another jump. We are
reliably advised that every packing
firm in the country has its store rooms
packed to the roof with hides, specu-
lating on the necessities of the people.
A government that will not protect
its people against such robbers is un-
worthy Of the name. We are so
pleased and contented with being q
republic that we will stand for being
robbed in a manner that no Euro
pean monarchy would tolerate.
Who will be the first to make this
move for congressional investiga-
ton that shall cover everything that
enters into the cost of living-food,
clothing and fuel?

as 1t was, only sugar was cut rs per
cent, but that has been restored. They
passed their law and now they appoint
a tariff commission to find out what is
needed on that line. Then they passed
the wage increase law and now an
other commission to find out what will
be right in that case. All, say, peo-
pie, put the business of this country
in the hands of men who find out first
and then act.
One spieler says we are sure OF the
labor vote on account of that law
Gust as we thought, 1t was passed
for votes) and it ought to bring in
the goods on that small fraction Of
those who labor. But 1t just as sure
ought to lose all the other labor votes.
Then hear that false cry. Wilson
kept us out of war" Where was the
war that threatened us, and If so the
constitution says that congress alone
has the power to declare war'-or to
conclude peace-and he swore to up
hold the constitution. They just pre-
sumo on either the credulity or the
ignorance of the people and 1t is very
small politics to say the least Yours

Engineers and the Adamson Law.

The frank admission of Grand Chief Engi-
neer Warren S. Stone in his circular letter to
the members of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers, and the boast OF the World-Herald
that Lovett Of the Union Pacific is supporting
Wilson because OF the Adamson law ought to
convince any thinking person Of the deception
for workers contained in that law. "We do not
know just yet what the law means" writes the
grand chief to the engineers, showing that at
least the officers of the oldest and most inhuen-
tial Of the railroad brotherhoods realizes the
ambiguity and mysthcation contained in the
Adamson law How its provisions will be con-
strued gives the men pause and the hoilowness
OF its promise is becoming plain to them. On
the other hand, to have the heads Of the great
railroad systems, like the Union Pacific and the
Erie, who went before the president to oppose
the plea of the brotherhoods, now come out in
support of President Wilson, who handed the
gold brick as we'll as the gold pens to the men.
suggests that the roads see in the law some-
thing the men are beginning to suspect. As a
bit Of political bunco, it is hard to beat.

Someone Caught in a Trap.

When the democratic board of strategy in
weighed out Of the president that letter express
ing ignorance as to where the false rumors'
originated, they pulled the string to catch some
one in trap 1t is still question which is
trapped, Wilson or Bryan, for if Wilson did not
know, he ought to have known, that the refer
ence was not to false rumors," but to this
specific charge made openly by Mr.. Bryan against
Senator Hitchcock during the primary campaign
last April:
II you will inspect the senator's record
you will find that while he is supporting the
president in the primary now, when he has
no opposition and does not need him, he has
opposed the president at critical times, when
he was needed once when he joined Wall
street in an attempt to defeat the currency
bill and once when he joined the shipping
combine in defeating the presidents shipping
bill believe that the only reason Senator
Hitchcock is for the president now is because
he desires with the aid OF the liquor interests
to ride into Office on the back OF the presi-
dent
Which one, then, is trapped? President Will
son, induced to denounce something as false,
which everyone knows to be true? Or Mr. Bryan
in being branded as disseminator OF falsifca-
tioni Mr. Bryan may excuse the president on the
score OF ignorance, but how can the president ex-
cuse Senator Hitchcock

Democrats Presume on Popular
Ignorance.

York. Neb., Oct. 23.-To the Editor
oe The Bee: What has become OF the
last paramount issue of the high cost
Of living?" If high prices were
crime under republican rule, but
cause for boast under democratic rule,
will they tell us what makes the dif-
ference or will they permit us to have
an opinion of our own. II so, we will
saw they were playing politics at both
ends of the game.
Why don't their spellbinders tell
what the trend of prices was after
the Underwood law went into erect
how the exports fell off and imports
increased; how the balance OF trade
was going against us; how the surplus
in the strong box was leaking out; now
the gold was leaving the country TO
pay trade balances, and when panic
was in the air, how they flew to that
monstrous, vile Aldrich-Vreeland law
to help them out of bad condition;
how the factories were closing down
and men out of work were drifting
to the bread lines in the cities.
Then they tell us they have made
good on every pledge of their plat
form. Now we know the meaning of
a democratic platform-it must be
read backward, for it means just the
reverse of what it says. ASK them
about the one-term plank, the canal
toll plank, the high-cost- -of-living
plank, the no-protection plank. the no.
free-tr trade plank, but just tariff enough
for revenue only; then look at Nthe
great staple products of the north on
a free-trade basis with the south left

PEACE AND THE PRICE

We've read our Country's History,
At least time or two.
We know how came the Flag we Love.
The Red. the White, the Blue.
And as we turn DER history's page,
We find that we can fight,
And, prouder yet, are we to know,
We always fought for what was right.
Because for Right we stood as one,
We made a reputation,
That when these rights were tampered with,
1t meant more than Arbitration.
Now we're not safe on land or sea,
Even where Old Glory floats
American lives were worth more then
Than just bunch Of notes.
Our prestige now don't count Tor much;
Must we our valor shroud,
See trampled in the dust the Flag
OF which we are so proudf
Are we to smother In our breast
The Spirit our grand-dads gave usf
Was not that Spirit almost all
That made our history famous?
And they, like US, did not want war,
1t took, and left good men
One armed and crippel, now almost gone,
Yet we are proud Of them.
Then why lay all our Honor down?
why not stand out for right?
Must what Is left of these gray-haired men
Come back again and fight?
No, we want peace-and honor, too,
Insults we will repel:
We are Just as good today as when
Our grand dads rang the bell.
SO let's go down on history's page
AS firm as they were then.
And hope our course will not make more
OF bent and one-armed men.
We welcome peace, but we're a race
Who's hearts with pride are lowered,
To a man, we would rather be "one-armed"
Than to be known as a 'two-armed"
coward.
Buck Davis.
