The most interesting development in
the steel industry is the pushing of the
government programme for the build
ing of ships and railroad equipment,
which will require approximately
100000 tons of steel bars, plates and
shapes. According to Washington re-
ports, contracts for $4,000 freight cars
and 1000 locomotives will be speedily
distributed among builders, as the
government has received assurances
from the mills that steel will be avail
able in ample amount to permit the
cars to be of all steel construction. II
is estimated that 100000 tons of steel
will be needed for cars and 100000
tons for locomotives.
The announcement that the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation will have two
shipbuildng plants constructed for
the government, TO be utilized for the
building of 400 fabricated steel ships,
means 10 the steel trade that the ship
ways will probably require 10000 tons
of structural steel and that the build
ing Of the boats will require about
100000 tons of steel plates and shapes.
The government has also awarded
contracts for $500 tons of structural
shapes for hangers, shops and other
buildings, and will take bids on Mon
day on about 1000 tons of steel for
other structures, including a projectile
shop at Charleston, w. Va, a key
bridge over the Potomac River and
various buildings at the Rock Island
Arsenal and the Norfolk and League
island navy yards. Orders for about
$4,000 tons Of steel plates, sheets and
miscellaneous products also have been
distributed among the mills on gov
eminent account. Prices for these
various commodities will be adjusted
when the Trade Commission makes its
report.
The placing of larger railroad equip
mcnt orders in the open market has
been an encouraging development, in
dicatng that the steel companies are
prepared 10 meet commercial a. we'll
as government requirements. Recent
orders for more than 1000 cars and
for 100 locomotives have been placed,
calling for nearly $4,000 tons of steel.
The American Steel e. Wire Com
panv has notified customers that here
after only reasonable profits will be
permitted on wire nails and other
wire products. Jobbers who have han
died nails furnished them by the Steel
Corporation at $500 per keg (the price
to the government) have been selling
at $3.50 10 s4.75 per keg, but following
the suggestion of the American Com
pany they will now make sales to the
retail trade at S37j per key. indie
ncndent wire manufacturers are eX-
pccted 70 reduce prices TO the level a.
which government contracts are being
filled
Current spot prices for a few of the
principal metals and metal products,
compared with those prevailing at the
corresponding time of last year, follow:

Confusion Cause of Collision.

Toronto, Dec 6-According to word received here from HalifaY, the fire which has been raging ill the Nova Scotia city, has been brought under control, while the city of Richmond was destroyed.
 The Mont Blanc, 2,250 tons. it is said, was backing away from the pier prior to sailing when the explosion took place.
 Flames covered the vessel quickly The crew for few minutes fought to overcome them. But the fire seemed to shoot from all sides of the ship. The vessel drifted from pier to pier, grind ing against girders and threatening de- struction to every thing with which 1t csIme in contact.
 The crew finally seeing the futility of their efforts, abandoned the ship. They are said to have escaped in safety But hardly had they departed when a terrific explosion blew the ves- sel to atoms, demolishing sheds along the water front and scattering brands of fire in all directions. Not hous in the city escaped damage.
 A confusion of signal whistles is said to have brought on the collision.

Washingto ton, Dec. 4.-In ordering an Investigation of complaints of alleged discrimination against negro men in the Nation Il Army, Secretary BaRer today made it plain that he considers most of the complaints unWarranted and due to German propaganda.

MOULD STOP ALL WORK ON SUNDAY
Mayor Bloom of Pine Bluff Includes Street Cars and Phone
 Service

Pine Bluff, Dec. 4,-The requests that the city laws relating to Sabbath observance be enforced was made of the City Council last night by dele gation representing several churches of the city whose congregations re- gently endorsed resolutions calling upon the city officials to enforce the laws. It was urged that ali stores be kept closed on Sunday, including drug stores, confectioncries, refresh ment stands. gasoline stations and automobile repair shops.
 Mayor Simon Bloom declared that if the council voted to enforce the law he would see that all business is stopped, including street cars and telephone service. He said he would not discriminate against any class of business. After considerable discus sion by ministers, laymen and alder men a resolution was adopted author izing the chief of police to see that grocery stores and fruit stands were closed Sunday. and the mayor was authorized to name committee to study the Sunday closing law and make recommendations as to what lines Of business should be permit ted to operate on Sunday.
