contrary rise in cotton options, based
on a reversal Of peace reports.

Bonuses to Employees

As rule the American employer is
not narrow-mnded and selfish in the
matter Of wages and salaries. He really
wants to pay those who work for him
as much as possible. Above this con-
sideration, however, stands his duty TO
meet his obligations and preserve the
integrity and prosperity of his under
taking. Being responsible for the an
nual outcome, he breads the creation
Of fixed charges based on a period Of
prosperity, which will become burden
some and even overpowering should a
time of depression follow; hence, he hes
itates at permanently increasing wages
and salaries, knowing that it is practi-
cally impossible TO reduce them once
they are advanced. The bonus plan
overcomes this objection. Many con-
Germs adopt a policy still safer, espec-
tally at this time Of uncertainty, when
no one knows what may happen to bust
ness when peace comes. From the
actual, ascertained profits Of the pre-
vious year they set aside certain sum,
and credit it to bonus account. This
they distribute to their employees dur
ing the ensuing year, which may or
may not be profitable. Should it prove
a period of prosperity. they repeat the
process at its close. Thus they insure
themselves against loss by utilizing
profits already secured, instead Of max
ing a charge against profits to come,
which are always problematicsl.-

One Obstacle to Good Roads

Human nature has some queer kinks.
II you want to have first hand knowl-
edge of few of them just go out in
certain districts and talk good roads.
OF the many benefciaries of good roads
the farmer himself is the most OBJ
vious. But listen to this colloquy that
took place between a highway booster
and farmer past whose place the con-
templated highway would run:
"This road will help you"
Cant see how"
at will help your folks"
Cant keep my girls home now
"But it raises the value of your land "
"That means more taxes. Can't pay
EN-"
But if you sell, you'll get more"
Don't aim to sell. Pm buyin' land
Such is the kind of opposition that
many advocates of better roads en-
counter. But it has to be overcome

STEEL OUTPUT
IS CURTAILED BY
RECENT FLOODS
Pittsburgh Mills En-
counter Difficulty in Sc
curing Raw Materials

American steel mills continued 10 b.
overwhelmed during the last week with
inquiries from foreign countries for
steel plates, rails, cars, tin plates ana
for war munition material. Domestic
requirements at the same time were
equally heavy, while the mills nav.
been hampered by railroad embsrgo.s.
foods and lack Of raw material 10
keep the plants operating at fun Ca
pacity. II is estimated that production
in the Pittsburgh district, where food,
occurred, has been further reduced 10
to ~ per cent. Incidentally, shipments
against contracts have been smaller IN
volume, while specifications against or
ders are sufficient TO keep the mills
operating at full capacity for sir
months or longer.
Big Sales of Shell Steel
Entente agents since the first Of tn.
year have been able to place large con.
tracts for shell steel with four or five
mills. Actual purchases for 1917 de-
livery, mainly during the second half
Of the year, are estimated at 5000
tons, and Canadian inquiries are in the
market for approximately 100000 tons
Of billets and forgings. Export sales
Of commercial shapes are relatively
small, but Italy has secured 10000 tor
of billets from an Eastern Pennsylvania
Midland other small lots, amounting
to several thousand tons, Lave been
sold for shipment to Great Britain 81
prices ranging from SIS TO SEQ tor
T. o. b. mill, Pittsburgh.
Although inquiries for 10000 toni
Of marine and structural plates On,
shapes are before the mills. orders for
only about 10000 tons have been placed
for this years delivery. Most Of the
sales are for domestic shipment A
few thousand tons have been sold fer
export to Japan and Italy.
Equipment Contracts Heavy
Pending equipment contracts ar.
heavy. but more or less difficulty is
being experienced in placing orders.
Car builders have sold 400 cars in
the last few days, 1000 Of which ar.
for export TO France. Locomotive
builders have taken orders for fifty
engines, forty Of which are for
French railroad. Rail contracts amount
to 10000 tons, one-hslf OF which
reported specifically, including 4'oVv
tons for export to South Africa. Pro
spective foreign rail orders aggregate
nearly 100000 tons. Outside OF Gres'

inquiries come from Spain, Portuga'

Yes'dsy's Previous Year
Sustenancc
Cereals

Wheat-A brisk selling movement
converging on May contracts was pre-
cipitated by the expectation that the
Kaiser's birthday speech might again
open the door TO peace negotiations IN
Europe. Prices at one time showed
losses of &c TO 67s from the previous
close. while final transactions exhibited
net losses of | &c TO 5esc. Fridays re-
vised estimate on the Canadian crop
also had bearish influence on senti-
ment at large. and there seemed to be
a complete reversal of position among
some of the leading operators. 1t was
argued that with stocks in Canada
much larger than had been anticipated
the chances are that North America
mas as much wheat to spare for export
as can be shipped, at least under pres
ent restricted facilities, and that IN
consequence foreign buyers will be
more conservative about making pur-
chases.
It was apparent, however, that the
technical position has become weaker
as a result of too much company on
the bull side, and at the close of the
day it was the prevailing opinion that
the market was in better position IN
this respect than for some time past.
The export demand was not aggressive
on the break, but it was evident that
foreign buyers took advantage of the
decline to make purchases, and sales
were estimated at from 100000 TO $780,
600 bushels. Offers of cash wheat were
somewhat more liberal at the Gulf, but
shipping conditions were again against
sales at the seaboard and it was very
difficult to get authority from the rail
roads for making shipments from the
West
