FEARS NO RUPTURE
Lord Cecil Does Not Believe Press
 Censorship Will Interfere With Re-
 lations Between England and U. S.

London, Jly 20, 3:15 p. m.-Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, declared in the house of commons today that he did not think there was any reason to suppose the cen sorship now exercised regarding press messages to the United States was at all likely to interfere with the continuation of the friendly relations of the two countries
 Lord Robert made this statement in reply to a question by Arthur Lynch, member for West Clare, who asked the war trade minister whether, "in view of the importance of estab- fishing between this country and the United States complete confidence and cordial relations, he would ad- wise the abolition or modification of the present censorship of news.'
 The censorship, added Lord Rob- erts in replying to the members, was established for military reasons and it's abolition or modification could not be avoided upon non-military grounds.

CAMPAIGN PROGRESSING
Ten Days Soliciting to Collect $1O,0OO For New Blitain's Soldiers Meets With Generous Response.

The ten days campaign to raise s1O.OOO for New Britain's soldiers along the border, which started yes- terdav morning, was continued today with undiminished vigor and although there was a scarcity of city officials, due to their annual outing, the can- vassers approached numerous busi- ness men and met with generous re- sponses.

 Y. M. c. A. to represent the local as- sociation as 8 secretary on the battle l fields of Europe. according to advices 1 received by George s. Talcott today l The movement to have New Britain represented in the welfare work being l conducted by the Y. M. c. A. in the war zone received it's inception at the l thirty-second annual meeting of the l local association, which was held at the South Congregational church when B. c. Carter, delivering the an- | niversary address, told of the wonder full work being accomplished by the secretaries.

Wounded and plague stricken soldiers are brought from the battle1ields on the Canal and transported in the most primitive manner through inhabited districts.

STEEL DOOMED BY FOREIGN ORDERS
Export Sales and Inquiry Over. shadow United States Market
The Iron Age says today:

The Iron Age says IOQdy.
 The increasing tonnage of export sales and of foreign inquiry overhang- ing the steel market is strengthening the position of the steel works in re- spect to this years deliveries. Most domestic consumers, having bought what they will require in the next four or five months are not actively competing for steel with foreign buyers as they were earlier in the year. But with light home buying, each week is increasing the prOpor- ton of export steel on the makers books, and the question of the amount available for home use in the first quarter of 1917 will soon be of live in terest.
 There is more emphasis this week on the reduced output of steel mills due to the heat, particularly in the Middle West. In the ConnellsVllle region, production has suffered enough from the same cause to advance prices for prompt coke. In Alabama, steel works operations have been greatly interfered with by storms, one large rlant having it's output cut down about fifty per cent
 The week mas brought out d IfSSn 1nstallment of foreign requirements, in which 100000 tons of shell steel for France is prominent, and about 50,O0O tons of 6-inch to 12-inch beams, to be shipped at the rate of 5000 tons a month through this year. Russia has made some redistribution of harb-wire business by which 50,O0O tons go to three independent makers.
 of kegs is pending. There is also active inquiry from Canada for shell steel, and it is known that Great Britain is still seeking to place 6-inch to 12-inch shells, and the steel for them, with de- liveries extending to April. Russia is expected to place large car orders in bought from two American makers 2S,OO0 axles, with cast-iron wheels mounted. for repair purposes.
 An important Chicago district con- tract just closed is for 50,0OO tons of forging billets for delivery in fourth and first quarters. The semi-finished steel market at Pittsburgh is stronger than in recent weeks.
 Rail mills are adding to their book ings for 1917, and several large lots are up for this year. France has just placed 14,000 tons. South Africa is irquiring 12,0O0 tons The Canadian Pacific is expected to buy much more than the 30,O00 tons on which bids are asked, in view of it's large sale of rails from it's sidings to the British govern ment.
 A Canadian mill, unable to buy blooms on this side to fill it's rail orders from American roads, is now seeking to place the rails here.
 A late increase in premium business coming in connection with larger foreign demand, has caused some pro ducers to look for an early renewal of domestic buying of plates, shapes and bars, but in most lines the indications are rather for the continuance of present conditions into fall
 The continued declines in metals, most pronounced in spelter, are hay ing their effect on certain rolled steel products. Galvanized sheets have sold down to 4.25c., Pittsburgh, for heavier gages, and the galvanized pipe market has been disturbed by jobbers below manufacturers prices.
