CAST IRON PIPE IS
 EXPECTED ID MAKE
 ANOTHER ADVANCE

New York, April IA phenomenal bular goods and wire will soon be ex- pressed, 1t is expected, in further ad- vance in price. One dependent manu factrrer of wrought pipe has already mills are on the point of doing likewise. The same may be said of cast iron pipe which has advanced $6 per ton since March 19 and s11 per ton in the last three for in the next few days.
 Railroads have placed few orders for equipment in the last two weeks but buy ing of cars during the month has been 100 per cent heavier than during Febru- ary. Domestic railroads are anxious to place more orders for rails for shipment before July. 1918 but the business is being turned aside by the mills Foreign inquiries in rails amount to 50.O00 tons. Bids have been submitted for shipments to France.
 Bhying of fabricated structural steel for manufacturing plant extension con- tinues surprisingly heavy, the high prices prevailing having small influence in checking orders.
 The steel companies have organized in an effort to meet the war needs of the United States goyernemnt expeditiously and economically
 Pig iron is active, strong and higher. Sales of 100000 tons this week bring the March total to So0,000 tons The steel making iron is advancing rapidly.

COUNTRY IS SREADY IN FINANCIAL WAY
 FOR GREAT CLASH

New York, March Ion the eve of sessicn of Congress which will deal with matters of worldwide importance, Wall street during the past week bore no sur face indications of undue anxiety or pes- simism.
 The increasing hum of industrial ac- tivity expansion of bank clearings and quiet confidence with which the foremost banking interests entered upon new com mitments were regarded as evidence of the country's readiness to meet the most srious emergencies.
 Dealings on the stock exchange were materially reduced as compared with the heavy operations of the previous week. but quoted values held steady when not actually firm.
 Sentiment was visibly encouraged by the favorable attitude seemingly evinced toward the question of higher freight mission. which already has relieved some of the railroads of a part of the extra burden imposed by the eight-hour law.
 Foreign conditions again found their most direct reflection in the movements of exchange. Rates on London and Paris were firm, while quotations on Germany and Austria were practically suspended.
 Further heavy gold imports, ostensibly for account of the entente allies but doubtless originating in London, were accepted as the forerunner of another large loan to the British government.

AUSTRIAN
 SAYS PEACE OFFER
 STILL HOLDS GOOD

Amsterdam, April 1.-(Via London) A Vienna dispatch quotes Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, as saying in an interview with the Frem- denblatt that the entente could conclude an honorable peace with the central powers at any time, and that the pro posal of the central empires for a peace conference still held good.
 We are not going to be destroyed, but neither do we wish to destroy" Count Czerrin is quoted as declaring. Our fronts are stronger than ever. Our economic situation is secured. We must take our hats off to the millions in the trenches and to those at home on the battlefield of labor. The day will come when the peoples of the monarchy will receive the rewards of their heroism.''
 After stating that the proposals of the central powers for a peace conference still held good, Count Czernin added;
 We occupy extensive territories of our enemies and they occupy extensive dis tricts of ours. On the seas, the blockade of our enemies is fighting against our submarine war. All international treaties are being torn up. It Is impossible to settle some of these questions apart from the whole subjects If the peace confer ence should show that an agreement was impossible. the fight, which will not have been interrupted, will continue
 Replying to the question to whether it was not possible to outline the cen tral empires peace conditions, Count Czernin said this had already been done, adding:
 we have openly declared that we are waging a war which has been forced upon us. Our aim is to gain the assur- ance of the free and undisturbed develop ment of the monarchy. We must receive guarantees for our existence and for our means of existence As soon as our ene- mics abandon their unrealizable ideas Of smashing us up. as soon IS they are ready to negotiate for a peace honorable to them and to us, then nothing stands in the way of negotiations"

MARKET REVIEW FOR WEEK
MUCH LIQUIDATION ;. OF LONG INTEREST ON COTTON MARKET
By Hop

New Orleans, April 1.-Much liquidation of the long interest took place in the cot ton market last week. prompted by the nearness of the opening of Congress, and, during most of the time it weighed against values. At the lowest levels, ac- tive months showed a net loss of B to S6 points. Unexpected strength devel- oped on the weekend and the net change for the week was a loss of 27 te spoints. range of AS to 93 points.
 New crop months were weaker than the old because of large volume of straddle business, principally between July and October. traders taking the position of selling October against purchase of July, on the theory that the new crop situa- ton would send July up faster than it would October.
 New crop reports indicated continued backwardness which the trade construed as meaning that early receipts would be small, thereby intensifyng the bull fish old crop situation.
 Spots were as firmly held as ever, but the demand was not as keen as it has been which was accepted by some traders IS meaning that March commit ments had been filled while others thought it resulted from new shipping difficulties.
 From the middle of the week on the disposition was quite general among the more conservative element to even up trades in anticipation of important events in Congress this week. It is generally admitted that the market will find it's chief influences this week in the news from Washington.

Couldn't Miss

From Everybody's Magazine.
 The average foreigner can rarely com prehend the geographical area of the United States, as was quite fully illus trated by the Englshman and his valet who had been travelling due west from Boston for five days. At the end of the fifth master and servant were seated in the smoking car, and it was observed that the man was gazing steadily and thoughtfully out of the window. Finally, his companion became curious, 'Wil- liam" said he, "of what are you think mg?,'
 T, was just thinking, sir about the discovery of Hamerica," replied the valet. "Columbus didn't do such a wonderful thing. after all. when he found this coun- try did he now, sir? Halter alls said an done, low could e elp it?"

SYMPATHY FOR RAILROADS

In the east sympathy for the rail- roads in their petition for authority to increase freight rates is generally sentiment. It would appear that the travelling public--if not the shipping public-is still resentful that labor leaders held up Congress last fall by the threat of strike and again quite recently in the time of interna : tional peril, threatened to tie up the industrial arteries of the nation,
 On the other hand, when the rail- road managers, at the request of the President and for the good of the country, yielded to the brotherhoods, it is apparent that they won for their friend the general public. The eight hour law, carrying a 10-hour wage, will cost the railroads. it is estimated, $60 ,000, 900 per annum.

PLANS FOR PRESENT

The railroads have asserted that at this time they will not ask for au- thority to increase passenger rates. It is intimated, however. that a petition to that effect will at some later date be filed. The railroads. as further elucidating their plans for the pres ent, declare that they will appear be- fore the public utility commissions or the states of the union and urge an increase in intrastate business.
 Some of the railroads. notably the Southern and the Norfolk and Vest ern, have expressed determination to open up mines for the production or coal for their own consumption.

OF SOUTH WANT RAILROADS
 ID GROW GREATER
Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, April 1.-(Special.) .)-Do the people of the south want their railroads to grow? In regard to the more or less chaotic industrial situ- ation incident to the application Of the eight-hour law, the above question is pertinent.
 President Harrison of the Southern Railway company has let it be known that his lines are prosperous and that they will continue to break even under the adverse circumstances brought about by Congress and the su- preme court He added. however, that without authority to increase freight rates the Southern cannot grow.
 Against the petition of railroads that they be permitted to increase freight rates, telegrams from every state of the union, including Alabama, are daily reaching the interstate commerce commission. Nevertheless. it is regard ed as probable that the commission, Tn view of the additional burden imposed on railroads by the effect of the eight hour law, will permit an increase con sidered by the commission reasonable.
