Metals.-"The Iron Age" says: THAT
otg ;ron OUTPUT in August fell below
that of July indicates the handlcaps
under which the industry is trying TO
meet the present unparalleled demands
upon il. Last months total was 3,2O3,-
Ti3 tons, or 103.346 tons day, against
s.224.513 tons in July, or l04,Ol7 tons
4 day. Heat and humidity counter
acted the effect of slight increase IN
active furnaces. September should
show some gain, as $50 furnaces were
In blast at the opening OF the month
with a daily capacity of l04,5O2 tons, as
against GIG furnaces on August /, rep
resenting a capacity Of 1O3,o24 tons
day. The height of the buying move
nent in pig iron, so far as concerns the
Central West, seems to have oeen
passed last week. Following the marked
Activity in basic iron, foundries came
into the market and a good many o,OVO
b 5000 ton sales were made.
"On both export and domestic ac-
count buying Of steel keeps up on
scale showing that hopes Of lower
prices have been put aside indefinitely.
For the Allies the taking up OF large
lots of shell steel discards further ac,
cents the scarcity of the forms OF steer
for which they have been securing the
market lately. Two Central western
steel companies have disposed OF about
100000 tons of such material, and the
Supply is now about cleaned up. Inc
July exports Of iron and steel reported
In tons were 100000 tons, against 52f'-
600 tons in June and $4,000 tons at
fhe highest rate, which was in May 1t
Is not to be concluded from these hg-
ures that the high point has been
reached in the war boom, but the ex,
bort movement will be closely watched
for signs of the turn. Steel WORKS

With the @Enited States Army en-
gineer service snagboat in tow, the
army tug Castle is on its way to West
Point Va, from this city. The snag-
boat York has been lying here for
several weeks, with mechanics aboard
her overhauling her machinery and
House. Work on the roof of the York
was completed only the day before she
left in tow of the Castle. From West
Point the York will go to the tributa-
ries of the York river, Va, to remove
distractions SO thu. vessels going to
points on the Mattapont and Pomonkey
to load lumber can do so without trou-
BILE. Both streams are shallow and to
make them safe for navigation all
snags have to be removed from them.
The Castle also will make an inspec-
tion trip to see that the bay fishermen
and those in the mouth of the Potomac
are keeping their trap nets back of the
line of buoys recently established by

PENDING BILL OPPOSED.
Commissioners Object to East Wash
ington Suburban Railway.

The District Commissioners today in
report submitted to Congress de-
clared the board was not in favor of
the bill of Representative Clark of
Florida which provides for the incor-
poration of the East Washington Sub
urban railway.
1t was stated in the report that at the
present time there is a petition before
the public utilities commission to re-
ouire the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to extend it's lines
over the same route as described in the
bill.
The Commissioners said further the
public utilities commission is of the
opinion that it would be inadvisabIe to
incorporate new street railway COM
panies in the District, since the act of
Congress creating the commission
gives it power to require extensions of
existing lines.

Sheep and cattle men from the public
lands states today urged the Senate pub
lie lands committee to defeat or radically
modify the six-hundred- and forty acre
grazing homestead bill, which has passed
the House and now is pending in the
Senate.
DR.. S. w. Mcclure, secretary Of the
National Wool Growers Association, Of
Salt Lake City, Utah, said 1t would be
lmpracticable for a man on $40 acres to
raise single sheep. because the tract
was SO small he could not employ a
herder land too large to inclose with wire
netting to keep out the coyotes. Cattle
men. he said. would suffer more from the
isolated six-hundred- and forty acre home
steads than sheepmen
Z. H. Crabbe of Flagstaff. Ariz. repre-
senting the Arizona Cattle Growers AS

passed it be amended SO as to require
