Every MoUe of Federal
Government Extends
Domination of Steel

Cleveland, O., August s.-(Special) 1.-The
Iron Trade Review today says: Each
fresh war move at Washington affecting
iron and steel continues to add to ex-
tending government domination of the
industry and narrows tonnage left to open
buying. The embargo announced this
week by President Wilson restricting to
war purposes all foreign shipments of
pig iron plates scrap and billets, &C
counts for a large part of approximately
20 per cent of the countrys iron and
steel output which has been going
abroad by limiting licenses in these
lines to product already manufactured.
The government likewise is taking more
complete hold on distribution of supplies
as well as on new buying for the allies.
GOVERNMENT DETERMINED
Whatever political significance this
may have with regard to large purchases
of ship steel and other materials by
japan, which still are to be shipped. is
secondary to the fact that the govern
ment apparently proposes to fully realize
its strategetic advantage through it's
hold on the nations output Of iron and
steel.
In this direction the President is urg-
ing greater speed by the federal trade
commission to fix production costs in or

der that price policies finally may be
adopted both in behalf Of itself and Of
its allies. The delay in trade commits
sion's report is ascribed to difficulties OF
squaring the sharp variations in cost
among individual iron and steel manu-
facturers.
PIG IRON MARKET
The pig iron market faces new com
plications as a result of further restric-
tons on export shipments. Producers
and consumers are specializing as to eff
fects of large unshipped tonnages for
foreign consumers which has accumu-
lated at tidewater points awaiting license
and vessels. 1t is estimated that 1900
tons are at gulf ports alone. Japan has
heavy tonnage on makers books At
present the pig iron market virtually
Is marking time. New buying is light,
but consumptive demands are very heavy
and insistent and prices have been little
altered by the weeks developments. Both
buyers and sellers seem disposed to
leave the market to adjust itself.
PRODUCTION REPORT
The production of coke and anthracite
pig iron in July amounted to 1881 AZ
tons, a gain of 1929 tons over the June
total. The daily average production.
however, shows a loss of 1915 tons in
June, due to hot weather and shortage
of coke.

term, dependent for support. has given
rise to several further questions of prin-
ciple affecting large numbers of per-
sons.
GENERAL BASIS
1.-THE general basis for ruling upon
such questions should be the spirit and
purpose of the act in providing for such
discharge, wherever the terms of the
act and of the regulations are not in
themselves conclusive. The act author
the parties drafted are in status with
respect to persons dependent upon them
for support which renders their exclu-
sion or discharge advisable
such dependency ordinarily renders
discharge advisable because since the
drafted person loses his civil income and
thus loses his means of support, the wife
Is left without support, and this lack of
support is the effect which the act aims
to avoid. But wherever such effect does
not in fact follow, an the wife is not left
without reasonably adequate support, but
will receive such support from other
sources, there is no real dependency rem
dering discharge advisable.
CLASSES WITHIN RULING
THE following classes of cases are
within this ruling -ss.-------'s 4ss,-

49, Where there exists some arrange
ment by which the salary or wage of the
husband is continued, in whole or in part,
by third persons, being employers or in
surers or others, and such portion of the
salary or wages either alone or with an
allotment of his soldiers pay or with
other definite income will furnish rea-

THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

Presumably the Secretary of the Treas
ury has found himself in full accord with
managers of the reserve banks of the
United States, especially of those banks
situated in the great agricultural dis
tricts. respecting the expedient time for
taking subscriptions to the contemplated
second loan. That it is known will be
for $1,000, 100000. Reserve bank managers
have for sometime made infomal sug-
gestions that the second loan be placed
upon the market in the late autumn, for
at that time the farmers will be receiv-
ing the money for their crops and the
presumption is that they will receive this
year a larger amount by many millions
than was ever before paid to them for
their harvests
The first liberty loan was in the market
at the time the farmers were planting or
just beginning to cultivate their crops,
and the wonder Is that so many of them
subscribed to the loan as was the case.
In addition, the government is to have
the advantage consequent upon the ex-
perience which the floating Of the first

THE NEW RUSSIA
There seems to be less anxiety in the
financial district respecting conditions
in Russia than prevails among military
men or among some Of the statesmen.
Russian credit remains fairly good and
those who have made advances to Russia
have little or no apprehension about the
payment of principal or interest. More
over, Russia is having no difficulty in
making heavy purchases in the United
States, especially railroad equipment and

subscribed for themselves and their Gus

which the American banks have met

peal that has been made to them to as
sist in great financing Although this as
| sstance reckoned in dollars amounts to
| billions, nevertheless the banking re-
sources OF the country have SO greatly
increased that 1t was possible for the
comptroller of the currency, John Shelton
Williams, to report on the third anniver-
sary of the European war that the re-
sources Of the national banks were in

Disseminating THE FUTURE

II in the course of the next three or
four months it be observed that the Sc
curities market Is changing from con-
dition of stagnation or quiet or activity
and especially II it be observed that rail-
road securities are commanding higher
prices, then in the opinion of the observer
above referred to, it may be reasonably
assumed that the securities market is be-
ginning to discount the coming of peace.
OF course, peace may come very sud
denly. But the impression prevails that
it can only come suddenly in case Ger
many backs down completely and meets
fairly the demand of the allies for such
guarantee of permanent peace as will be
regarded as certain as any human affairs
can be.

New York, August s-(SpeciaL)-It was
the opinion Of one who has had long ex-
perience as banker and in the securi-
ties market which he voiced this morn
ing that those who are watching for APP
preaching peace or an arnistice would do
we'll to pay no heed to the reports that
come from Germany or Austria, but in
stead should closely scrutlnize the course
of the securities market. Not yet has
the securities market or the money mar
ket revealed the slightest indication Of a
disposition to discount the coming OF
peace, and yet in the opinion OF this vet
eran observer, II the reasons we're fairly
good for expecting an early cessation OF
hostiities, this would be reflected in the
action of the securities market. That
market rarely il ever falls to discount the
future.
In the early summer of 1914 the secur-
tiles market did discount the probability
of war before the summer ended. II

men of finance or of large industries VINO
In the early summer visited Europe. IL
also responded to confidential communi-
cations which were received from the
great banking or financial authorities of
France. For it was in France rather
than in England that the first apprehen-
sion of the outbreak of the war was felt.
Percival Farquar was perhaps the first
to discover in the disposition of French
bankers apprehension lest war should
come before the end of the summer. lie
had been able to obtain large loans In
France with which to promote certain I'M
portant propositions he had under way In
South America. But when in the late
spring or early summer of 1914 he again
approached the French bankers he was
disnayed to find that they were of no
disposition to advance funds, being appre-
hensive that war clouds were gathering
and that France might be involved IN
war within few weeks.
So too, Newman Erb, when in France
in the early summer of 1914 seeking funds
with which to carry on his large railroad
undertakings in the west, was amazed
to learn that the French bankers were
no longer lending any money, being ap-
prehensive that war was probable, If not
Inevitable, within a few weeks. Conf
Dental communications received from
France were sufficient in addition to the
experience of Mr.. Erb, Mr.. Farquhar and
others, to justify the securities market In
taking such action as could be interpreted
only as discountng the coming of the
war in Europe
