Metals

A phenomenally heavy demand for
sheets, tin plate. tubular goods and
wire will. it is expected. result in fur
ther advances in prices. One lnde'
pendent manufacturer of wrought pipe
has already advanced prices $40 ton
and other mills arc said TO be on the
point Of doing likewise. The same
may be said OF caSt-iron pipe, which
has advanced So ton since March 10,
and s11 "A ton in the last three months.
Some Of the smaller mills arc charg-
ing advances of several dollars ton
on wire and sheets. The largest in
terests arc more conservative, but IT
is expected new schedules VIII be an
nOunccd in short time.
Railroads have placed few orders for
equipment in the last two weeks, ut
buying of cars during the month has
been 100 per cent heavier than dur
ing February. Domestic railroads are
anxious TO place more orders for :lils
for shipment before July, 1918, but
the business is being turned aside by
tho mills. Foreign rail inquiries
amount 10 100000 tons. but aside
from l0O.O00.tons wanted for shipment
TO Franco. upon which bids have been
submitted. there is small prospect Of
orders.
The mills have accepted additional
contracts for about 10000 tons OF
plates and shapes for boats to be built
on the Atlantic coast and about an
equal tonnage for small boats to be
built on the lakes.
Buying of fabricated structural
steel for manufacturing plant extern
sions continues surprisingly heavy, the
high prices prevailing having small
influence in checking orders. Among
the largest contracts closed are 5000
tons for the Crucible Steel Company.
1000 tons for the Pittsburgh Steel
Company. 1900 tons for a paper mill
in Canada and an order for sugar
mill in Cuba calls for $500 tons. The

Cotton Goods Market

BY The Associated iTtas
Primary cotton goods markets have
become very strong and mills have been
booking large forward orders, deliv-
cries in many cases extending to the
end of the year. The new movement.
which began early in the month in print
cloths, has extended to sheetings. fine
cottons, yarns, and a great many col
ored goods. Staple ginghams are nov
on basis of 10 cents yard, fine print
ed sheetings have again advanced from
q to cent n yard, wide sheetings .
per cent, while many constructions OF
print cloths and sheetings are now
priced very close to the top levels
reached last year.
Cotton duck has become exceptional
" high and firm as consequence 81
large government orders and a good
general demand for civil requirements.
Tire fabrics are in actice denSnd and
tire cloth yarns are selling at top fig
ures. The jobbng and retail business
of the country is of fair proportions,
but has not moved in keeping with the
broad activity of primary markets.
Novelty wash fabrics continue selling
freely, and there is n steady demand
for knit goods. Export demands are
lighter than year ago, largely be-
cause of the many restrictions due 10
high prices, uncertain shipping condi-
tions and the high costs OF Transports

Prices current are as follows: Print
