the demand for round steel bars for eIpOrt
To Canada and Europe has fallen on sharply
This demand ~ likely 10 he renewed, how
ever, in the future, but in the meantime the
Canadian and allied Governments are more
concerned about securing deliveries on con.
Tracts previously PLACED than in buying
more steel,
Railroad equipment manufaci urers have
placed some additional heavy contracts for
bars. plates and shapes. including one con.
tract for 700 tons for a lo'onloll We builder
who has recently taken additional contract
for thirty locomotives The ear bullders
too have not fully covered their requirement /.
for lSv, delivery several additional orders
for cars and locomotives have been plal Ell
for export and one lot OF 100 ear wheels has
lust been sold for shipment to Cuba.
FabrictiIng shops are actively seeking
orders to take up the balance Of the steel
secured some time sln'e on tonnage con.
tracts. The Virginia Bridge Company is re-
ported to have plard tonnage contracts last
year at priurs ranging from il5 to 10

The year past was one Of sharply
varying fortunes says President Wood
because Of the general unse,t,ins OF
conditions by the great European war.
our business for 1915 began under very
~unravorabie circumstances Orders for
the first six months from the domestic
trade were distinctly below normal. and
this deficiency MAS not wholly offset
by the demand for certain uniform fab

Then an acute demand set In for heavy
weight goods OF all descriptions. and for
the hrst time I'm several years goods for
immediate delivery commanded a pre-
MUM. A buyers market became n sell
ers' market. Staple wors,eds again were
eagerly sought and soon the large mills
or the company enjoyed n full volume
OF orders. The final quarter OF the year
was one OF great activity. Only com
paratvely small stocks OF staple goods
of any kind remained on hand when the
year ended December 81. II may be
added that domestic orders received
since January I. 1916. have been the
heaviest In the company's history.
"The most serious difficulty has been
experienced In maintaining an adequate
supply Of dyes,uffs. The company. be-
cause or liberal purchases Def 're and
early In the war. has been relatively
fortunate in this respect. However, n
must be frankly recognized that the hope
