AWAIT GOVERNMENT
ORDERS FOR STEEL
Belief That Producers Will Aid
in Every Way Possible-Prices
Advance Again

NEW YORK, March 24.-Virtually every
one interested in steel trade affairs is wait
ing for some announcement with regard to
Government purchases and there appears
to be no question that the producers will
make the same arrangement with the Fed
eral authorities was consummated early
this week by the big copper producers.
Inquiry in the trade fails to bring any
thing on which statement could be based.
Some interests are frank in saying that
whatever announcement js deemed neces-
sary will come from the national defense
in Washington, and although 1T is stated
technically that no agreements have been
made there are many who say the matter
has about been settled. or at least is on the
fair way of being closed within very
short time
1t has been known right along. of course.
that the steel companies would aid the
Government in every way possible when
the time came, and while 1t was not be-
ieved that any materially lower price
would be made, the lead taken by the copper
interests in naming a ten-year average has
led to the general impression that the steel
companies will do likewise.
There have been further advances in quo
tations during the last week, but by far the
greatest attention is being given to pig iron,
which has been advanced from 81 to $3.50
per ton in virtually all producing sections
A disposition on the part of buyers to cover
their requirements for the future is noted
and it has been the rush from these pur-
chasers that has brought about the upturns.
Probably one Of the most important
branches of the finished market at present
is that for wire products. 1t is learned that
in some places there have been premiums of
from So to SO ton over the recent ad-
vance announced, with the buyers taking
all they can get. For wire rods the demand
is unusually large and the supply is in
sufficient to take care of even the greater
part of the possibilities for orders All
kinds Of fancy prices are said to have been
offered the makers.
Railroad purchases of steel products have
been small during the last week, but some
orders placed for equipment are beginning
to be reflected in the plate market.

While the stock market operations In this
city today were small. there was good
underlying strength during the whole TWO
hours of trading Although the changes In
prices were small and irregular, yet the
majority were on a scale upward as COM
pared with the close of yesterday. This
action of the market was encouraging to
the street, for, while the demand for any
one stock was not large, 1t put security
holders in a much better frame of mind
when they noted advances in prices.
Only in one issue was there any pro-
nounced change in price. This was in
Reading. The stock started with gain
of nearly 1ia points as compared with the
final figure of last night and 1t was not
long before the quotation had been ad-
yanced a full 3 points. While this advance
in price was taking place there was no
great amount of trading. The movement

RANKIN NOT WARNED
OF BUTTE LYNCHINC
Congresswoman Denies
7 Story in New York Times.

Washington. Aug. 5.-Iseprcsentativc
Rankin yesterday denied the correct
ness Of a story printed In the New
York papers TO the effect that she had
received n telegram from Butte Mon1
day. advising that Little was lynched
and that she tried snsuccessfully to
get officers OF the administration to
take action to prevent it.
/ Miss Rankin did receive u telegram,
she says. on Monday from woman
in butte. indicating that mine owners
were likely to take drastic action to
suppress the /. w. W.. and she en-
deavored to bring the matter to tile
attention OF certain government or
ficials without success. Yesterday
Miss Rankin received a letter from
Secretary Tumulty. asking her to con-
Ter with the attorney general and Sec
rotary Of labor regarding the Montana
situation. She saw both officials.
The attorney general said there was
no law under which his department
could act at this time. The secre-
tary Of labor said that until the de-
partments mediator returned to Butte
from Minneapolis. to Investigate exist
Ing conditions, nothing could be done.
1t is believed that the entire situa
ton will be left in the hands of Gen
eral Hunter Aggett Of San Francisco
who was given orders some days ago
to act in the I. w. w. disturbances
as he deemed proper. Senator II. /.
