INTEREST OF STEEL
TRADE IN y. S. DEMAND
Estimate Places Needs for Bal
ance of 1917 at 2 to 3 Per Cent
of PrOduction-Wire Active

I. NEW YORK. April 2s.-Naturally all in
tcrest in the steel trade centers around the
Government purchases to be made in the
remaining months of this year 1t has been
officially estimated that our country will
take between . and per cent Of the total
production of . the industry This will
amount to something between 1000 900 and
51;2b0, 900 tons.
Z. II is the general impression in the trade
that the prices of 2.90c base for plates and
z.50c base for structural shapes and bars
will apply TO the needs of the Government
as now estimated, and while there are
some interests who argue that the Govern.
rient might want more steel than is now
estimated. the opinion is general that on
the next business somewhere higher prices
will be paid.
4 Probably the leading branch of the steel
Industry at the moment is that for wire
rroducts. The demand is large and inquiries
are said to be good. As yet the American
Steel and Wire Company has not followed
the lead of the independents, which for more
than a week have been quoting SO per ton
over the leading interests level
&, There is active demand for plates, and
the knowledge that the United States Gov
torument will take quite a tonnage has in

The Government Loan
Mexican War
TONOPAH STOCKS

ON April 26 1916, the United States declared
" Mexico. The financial condition
OF our country at that time not
strong, and President Polk, and Secretary
Walker of the Treasury, resorted to the use Of
short term Treasury Notes and Stock, the latter
bearing interest at the rate of six per cent. per
annum.
The total indebtedness incurred by this
country during the Mexican War amounted to
$43,000,000
Economic developments following the war
led to period of extraordinary industrial pros
perity only to be checked by change in the
fiscal policy of our Government, which resulted
in the Panic of 1857.
However, the debt contracted in conse-
quence of the Mexican War was paid in full by
1874. The conditions of today are markedly
different, the credit of our country stands at the
highest in its history and its obligations are the
strongest and best investments in the financial
world.
