break in the old ball game. Witt

LARGE ORDERS
Are Being Taken by Steel Cor.
poratlon and Independents.

The new bookings of the United
States Steel Corporation are hold
ing at about 5000 tons daily and
independent companies report a
continuation of the very strong de-
mand, which has prevailed for
many weeks. A very interesting
development in the manufacture of
steel by the electric process is the
decision of the United States Steel
Corporation to build at Milwaukee
and in the Chicago district Heroult
furnaces of much larger capacity
than any now in use. The Cor
poration has been producing in an
experimental way for several years
and is highly pleased with the
results.
Prices of billets continue to show
an upward tendency and some
forging steel has been sold at sos,
while Buffalo maker has been
asking SIS. Contracts for sheet
bars for the third quarter have
been made at $3S for bessemer and
somewhat higher price for open
hearth.
The very severe specifications
which must be conformed to in
the making of bars for shells have
resulted in considerably smaller
production than had been estimat-
ed, and it is now evident that mills
will carry over into the second
half of the year a large tonnage.
which, it had been expected, would
be made prior to July 1.
The pig iron market throughout
the country continues to be fairly
active and in nearly all centers
prices are firm. Some sales have,
however, been made from Buffalo
at surprisingly low figures. A
Rhode Island consumer has taken
from 5000 to 1000 tons of basic
at $3.50, Buffalo, and a Perth
Amboy smelter has purchased 8, 900
tons of basic from a Buffalo maker
at low price. In the Pittsburgh
district. furnaces are being pushed
to turn out the greatest possible
product and furnaces are resorting
to the use of scrap to increase their
output. In eastern territory, there
is renewed interest in basic, and a
Harrisburg concern has taken from
10000 to $4,000 tons at an ad-
vance of IS cents over recent
quotations. This sale is not, how
ever, regarded as fixing the market.
Sales at Birmingham amount to
from IS, 900 to 20, 900 tons and at
Cleveland about $4,000 tons have
been sold by leading agencies. A
Cleveland firm has been compelled
to pay $44.S 80 per ton to ship 1000
tons of malleable pig iron from
New York to Manchester. The
ocean vessel capacity available for
the shipment of pig iron is extreme
ly limited.
Reports from New York indicate
a decided improvement in inquiry
for machine tools from foreign
countries. Some orders have been
placed for export to England,
France and Portugal and important
inquiries from the same countries

Radiun1

Radium is metal and is describ-
ed as having a white metallic
luster. 1t has been isolated only
once or twice and few people have
seen it. Radium is ordinarily
obtained from its ores in the form
of hydrous sulphate, chloride, or
bromide, and it is in the form OF
these salts that it is usually sold
and used. These are all white OF
nearly white substances, whose
appearance is no more remarkable
than common salt or baking powder
Radium is found in nature in such
exceedingly small quantities that
it is never visible even when the
material is examined with micro
scope. Ordinarily radium ore
carries only a small fraction of a
grain per ton of material and radium
will never be found in large guam
tity because it is formed by the
decay OF uranium, process that is
wonderfully slow, and radium it.
self decays and changes to other
elements so rapidly that it is i'm
possible for it to accumulate natur-
ally in visible masses. Minerals
that carry radium, however, are
fairly easy to determine. One OF
them, pitchblende, as generally
found, is black mineral about as
heavy as ordinary iron, but much
softer. The principal radiun
mineral, carnotite, has a bright
canary-yellow color, and is gener'
ally powdery. There are Other
radium bearing minerals of les:
importance.
