STEEL DELIVERIES
CONTINUE GREAT
PROBLEM TO MILLS
Many Consumers Curtail
Operations and Others on
Verge of Suspension for
Lack of Material

Cleveland, September 20-(Special)
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
Strong pressure for delivery of fin
ished materials, particularly steel bars
and plates, continues, and some con-
sumers have been compelled to curtail
operations on account of not having
adequate supplies of steel. while others
have been on the verge of temporary
suspension.
In spite of advanced prices of cars,
railroads are feeling the necessity of
adding to their equipment, and during
the past few days domestic lines have
sent out inquiries for 10000 new cars.
French steel railways are inquiring
for from 5000 to 5000 cars, and it is
estimated that there are $4,000 cars in
the market, not including large Rus
sian and other foreign inquiries which
have been pending for sometime.
Demand for shpbuilding material
continues undated, and some eXtraor-
binary prices are being named. Steel
bar manufacturers as a rule are not
anxious to make additional contracts,
but one leading independent company
is booking some tonnage for fourth
quarter of this year, and first half OF
next year for Bessemer bars.
Some contracts with implement trade
have been made at $50 and ESQ cents
Pittsburg. Some steel companies which
are not ordinarily factors in the re-
rolled steel market are rolling rein
forcing bars from crop ends and dis
cards and are quoting prices several
dollars per ton below those made by
regular rerolling mills. On lOOO tons
placed at Cleveland competition was
very keen and local mill took the
business.
Buying of basic pig iron has been
the leading feature of the market dur
ing the past week, and includes from
$4,000 to 10000 tons bought by the
Toilansbee Brothers company, 1000 by
a Cumberland, Md, consumer, 4500 by
N. & G. Taylor and 500 by the Colonial
Steel company 1t also developed that
the Allegheny Steel company recently
purchased 10000 tons.
While some of this iron purchased in
the valley was bought at shade be-
low $1S25 at the furnace, consider
able part of it was sold at $1S.25, which
now seems to be the minimum quota
ton. In the Chicago market activity
continues in all grades, and in the
south the market shows decided I'M
proyement with the tendency Oh prices
upwards.
On account of high prices which they
have been compelled to pay for plates
warehouses have advanced quotations
SIS per ton at Chicago, Cleveland ana
other centers Heavy advances have
also been made in warehouse prices on
tin plate. Prices of wire fence have
been marked up to correspond with
recent advances in wire products.
Quotations on cast iron pipe have been
advanced in leading centers.

FARMER NEEDS AUTO
GOOD REASONS WHY AGRIcul.
 TURisTS ARE HEAVY BUYERS.
Does Away With All Pooling of Isolation.

The automobile manufacturers have had the opportunity this year to gain valuable first-hand knowledge of the prosperity of American agricul- ture. For the big purchasers of this season are the farmers. They are said to be buying more than twice as many cars as urban residents are. One dealer makes the statement that the majority of the high-priced ma. chimes are being placed in the rural districts.
 Perhaps the automobile uninten- tiOnally is to be the agent for halting the movement away from the farm. Phe motor car is the enemy of iso- lGtion. the worst curse with which the farming industry has been afflicted. It relieves tedium swiftly and cheap ". IL permits of social intercourse without labor or planning or prepara- tion- To the young people in the country, we can believe, the automo- bile is a godsend. It can break a days routine. furnish a reward for dull and heavy work. as nothing else can. The farmer who can bundle his family into n car in the evening and go driving many miles from home has something that will keep the family together better than all the tons of writing about the beauty of country life and the disadvantages of life h the cities.
 The day was when the farmer hated the automobile as he hated pest among his potato vines. It has even been charged that he dug holes in the highways to discourage the trav- elers from using his roads. But that day is passed. The farmer has adopt ed the machine for reasons quite plain and practical to his mind. The car promises to do even more for him than he asks. It may halt the decline of his industry.
