Cos report OF the iron and steel mar

products is wide; requiring numerous
Sdifferentials and adjustments. Pro.

end Is resulting in the liquidation OF
outstanding orders; new business
still falling short of production and
the bulk OF these specifications being

chasing falling below normal. War
munitions and supplies still have first
attention and different plants along
miscellaneous lines have turned from
regular to special work. The steel
car plants, also, have been receiving
government contracts, and the usual
activity continues In ship construc-
ton.
Furnace coke has been confirmed
at So per ton with 81 per ton fixed

being allowed for crushed and pre-

ling gradually co-ordinated but deliv-
cries are irregular in some instances,
affecting pig iron production to some
extent. The market on Bessemer and
basic iron is firm the stabilized quo

the visitors being just little the bet.
Ter and well deserving the victory they

Featuring the game was the many

Broaddus started the game by SCOT.

HAMPER BUSINESS
Lack Of Fuel Makes Trouble
For Factories Says
Dun's Review.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Dun's re.
view OF trade this week says: With
the Increasing restrains imposed BY
war conditions and with the many un.
certainties of the period, business is
handicapped in various ways, and its
progress is necessarily checked and
irregular. Not through lack OF con.
fidence, but owing to the drawbacks
in production and distribution, and
also because OF diminishing supplies
OF materials and merchandise some
important transactions are being held
in allegiance, and the difficulties OF
filling requirements are not calcula.
ted to lessen with winter drawing
nearer and a still greater congestion
in transportation.
1t is particularly unfortunate, at a
time when the manufacturing forces
Of the country should be running most
smoothly to meet the extensive and
growing war needs and the large de.
mands from regular channels, that
some plants have been obliged to shut
down through inability to obtain fuel,
and that the works in many directions
continue hindered by labor shortage
and other obstacles. Where uninter
rupted operations are possible, there
are comparatively few instances
where producers have not sufficient
orders on hand to keep them active
ly occupied, and 1t is not uncommon
to hear Of ordinary business being
turned aside to make room for the
pressing wants of this government
and its allies.

JESS WILLARD'S SHOW
 TO BE AT ARKADELPHIA

The Jess Willard Buffalo Bill Wild West and circus is announced to ex- hibit in Philadelphia Thursday, Oct. 4. This is as close as the big aggre- gation will come to this city during the present season, and already sev- eral parties of circus-lovers have been organized to take in the show. Spe- cial arrangements have been made by the railroads to handle large numbers of excursions, and undoubtedly this vicinity will be well represented.
 Interest in the Jess Willard Buffalo Bill show is pronounced, not only be- cause of the magnitude and splendid reputation of this famous old exhibi- tion, but also because of the many new and striking features that are of fered. One of the features is the famous cowboy heavyweight cham pion, Jess Willard, who is announced

to personally appear in the perform ance in his original role as a ranch man, and also in an exhibition bout with his sporting partner, Walter Monahan, in which he will illustrate in the big show, without extra charge, just how he won the championship belt from Jack Johnson. The desire to see Willard seems to be general
 Another interesting feature of the show is the fact that while the Wild West features are as strenuous and numerous as ever, there is a splendid program of high class circus acts, in- eluding series of big gymnastic and acrobatic numbers, high jumping horses, trained elephant, pony and other animal displays, bareback rid ing, and other novel offerings. There is an exciting artillery drill by United States soldiers. The Wild West sec tion offers scores of daredevil cow boys and cowgirls in the exhilarating sports of ranch life, an attack on the

CUBS GETTING READY FOR PENNANT FIGHT
(By H. C. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondentl

otal correspondent
 New York, Sept. 2S.-A return to the old West Side grounds, where the Cubs of old used to shatter everything that stood in their way, and a policy of expenditures that will rival even the loose purse strings of Charles Comiskey, presages boom in Ma tional League stock in Chicago.
 Charles Weeghman admitted in a reluctant fashion short time ago that directors controlling the finances of the Cubs have agreed to allow Fred Mitchell and Weeghman to spend $25O,O0O this winter on ball players. Adding major purchases that are cer- tain to be made to the host of bright youngsters about to make their de- buts with the Cubs the Chicagoans will have to show something next summer to convince the fans there is any real life in the National League at Chicago.
 Fred Mitchell faced a task for Hercules when he took up the man. agement of the Cubs last spring. He had a disorganized team, made up mostly of hasbeens and neverwases. But he shot them into the fray with such excellent results that he had his team going fine and fighting hard for first division honors for a long time. His method of handling men made new player of Leslie Mann. Carter, Aldridge and number of other pitch CTS showed flashes of stuff at times that predicts success for them.
 Mitchell always has been credited with phenomenal success in handling his pitchers and there is no reason to doubt this reputation from the results he has obtained with the material in Chicago. He has a number of promis- ing recruit boXmen on the way to join the Cub rapid-frers.
 When Mitchell picked up Pete Xiii duff in exchange for Al Demarce, right-handed hurler who is now with the Giants he achieved his first bril- liant victory in rebuilding the famous old machine. As a shortstop Kilduff is not only making good as a fielder of exceptional ability, but he gives de- cided promise of developing into hitter of at least .250 proportions at all times.
