ANTHONY PRICE UP
ON HEAVY BUYING
Advances Sharply as Bethlehem
Steel Takes 1000 Tons.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
yesterday purchased 1000 tons Of anti
nony. Other manufacturers Of war
munitions, in the last few days, have
taken about 500 tons of spot and near
bv afloat from the Orient. The result
of the sudden awakening in the trade
is an advance of 4 to 8 cents per
mound. Within the last two weeks
there was pressure to sell spot anti
mony at 1917 cents per pound. Yester-
day the market was firm at IA to
IS cents per pound duty paid.
For many weeks the local market
has been lifeless because of an absence
of ammunition orders, and prices OF
spot up to a week ago had suffered
break of "a to 35 cents per pound
from the highest point touched IN
March this year, As cents per pound
the maximum price in the history OF
the industry. The average price OF
Japanese and Chinese antimony-the
only kind now available in appreciate
tonnage-in normal times is 10 I
cents per pound.
In 1915 and early in 1916 enormous
nrofits were made in anthony. In the
last four or five months importers and
operators have lost heavily. AS an Illus
tration of the collapse suffered by the
trade it is interesting to note that the
New York Custom House on July IA
reported 4,eO5,177 pounds Of anthony
in bonded warehouses here, valued at
S1.711,941. This is at the rate OF
little over 81 cents per pound The
value Of this metal at the beginning OF
August was about 100000, shrinkage
of about 62i3 per cent.

Coke Industry Changing.-Connells-
vile, Penn, Aug. 17.-Although the
Connellsville coke trade passed the
400, 900 ton shipment mark during the
week, the shipment Of 100000 tons OF
coal to new by-product coke ovens in
other parts Of the country indicated
that the trend Of the industry was
changing. OF this amount $4,000 tons
weekly TO Youngstown alone Will dis
place former coke shipments of $4,000
tons, Withdrawing that amount Of coke
from the market. Connellsville oper-
ators are quoting coal at s1.4O and
s1.45 ton at the mine, which they
contend is equal to s2.65 and 1910 a
ton for coke. Car supply for coke was
abundant, but there was shortage in
coal cars.

Motor Stocks.
Curb Market

Active trading and generally higher
prices were seen in yesterdays early
curb trading. High marks on the pres
ent upward movement were established
in several issues, though prices in the
afternoon session, especially the indus
trial group, receded from the days
best, and a number of stocks closed
weak. Midvale Steel touched 64h, but
fell back, to end at 62A, off fraction
on the day. Castor, Williams & Wig
more and Tobacco Products yielded a
full point and United Motors lost
good fraction. Chevrolet Motor was
weak. Standard Oil stocks displayed
better tone. Prairie Pipe Line i'm
proved 2 and Vacuum Oil 7 points.
Bonds continued dull.

STATE OF FOREIGN
LIQUIDATION HERE
Third Report Soon on the Re-
turn of American Securities.

L. F. Loree, president of the Della
ware & Hudson Company, will nave
ready in two or three weeks his third
report on the amount Of American rail-
road securities sold in this market by
Europe since the beginning of the war
About one-third of the companies re-
porting have made returns for the last
fiscal year.
In his report Mr.. Loree found that
between March 81, 1915, and July 81 OF
the same year American railway Sc
curities having a par value of $780,
s92.135 were returned 10 this market.
Several months ago, when Mr.. Loree
announced his intention of preparing
more comprehensive statement on for
eign liquidation, he called attention to
the fact that his work would be further
complicated by the mobilization scheme
Of the British government.

Argentina and Foreign Capital.

There is at present no reason to
anticipate that the generous and far
sighted policy Of successive Argentine
administrations toward foreign capital
will not be continued by the incoming
government. But IL cannot be con-
cealed that a tendency has been evinced
in recent times toward legislation
which incidentally, if not designedly, is
liable to restrict certain manifesto
tons Of foreign enterprise. The rail-
way pension law, conceived and passed
doubtless in a spirit Of commendable
humanity, may be cited as case in
point. Then, again, there have been
indications of a desire for advanced
legislation which many think is prema-
ture in this republic and an undue
Wandering to the working class. The
recently sanctioned workmen's COM
pensation law Is, we believe, an excel
lent piece of legislation in the main,
but the various projects for the indis-
oriminate pensioning OF every class OF
employe in the republic are likely to
nroye mischievous should they be sane
toned. Il is possible, however, that,
now that the elections are over, there
NAV be some relaxation of the consum-
ing anxiety for the welfare land the
vote) Of the workingman and that en-
ercies will be concentrated on the at
tainment of the common good rather
than the good Of any one class.-Re-
view of the River Plate (Buenos

Industrial

Metals. - Leading copper selling
agencies are holding the metal at q
cents pound for all deliveries over
the rest of the year. Strength Of the
market at the moment is due mainly TO
the heavy domestic demand. Lead
prices, after showing firmness for sew
eral days, were advanced yesterday.
The American Smelling and Refining
Company advanced its price from &
cents to 6.25 cents pound. Spelter,
likewise, is firmer.
A revival in steel building and bridge
work has come with startling sudden
ness, much to the chagrin of structural
mills already overburdened with orders
for steel shapes. In fact, the structural
capacity of the country is entirely IN
adequate to sustain the pressure upon
it. consequently the mills are falling
behind further in deliveries on con-
tracts and much business goes begging.
Most of the large structural mills are
sold TO capacity for eight to nine
months, and one of the large Pittsburgh
mills is sold ahead for eighteen months.
IL is possible. however, to obtain steel
shapes from fabricators who are receiv-
ing plain material on contracts, and
also from some shops that have mod
crate tonnages in stock; but premiums,
of course, are charged on shipments to
be made at any time within three
months. Building contractors who
have been holding off from placing
contracts for steel required in the con-
struction of commercial buildings and
apartment houses have given up hope
Of securing concessions on structural
steel and are coming into the market
in force.
Probably the most significant devel-
cpment is that manufacturing plants
are again putting out inquiries Tor
steel TO be used in extensions IN all
sections of the country. Domestic
manufacturers of war munitions have
quietly placed supplementary contracts
for additional buildings, calling for
quite a liberal tonnage of steel. This IS
revealed by the July statement Of the
Bridge Builders and Structural So
ciety, Just made public. which shows
sales of $4,000 tons, an increase OF
90. 900 tons over trade estimates. The
heavy orders placed by foreign IN
terests for shell steel and the freer
purchasing of all kinds of finished
forms by domestic manufacturers IN
the interior have evidently stimulated
building interests to depart from their
pclicy of reserve exercised in the last
six weeks. Railroad companies, too, are
exhibiting greater anxiety TO place or
ders for small bridges.
