America and asked them to pledge
themselves on their honor to use
wheat feeds for no other purpose than
the feeding of dairy cattle. poultry and
young pigs and calves, and to keep no
more than a sixty-day supply OF wheat
mill feeds on hand.

With the school, churches and

removing the finger could the hand
be saved. DR.. Fraser performed
the operation. MIR. Upton $ young

electrocuted several months ago.

was again on an irregular scale with
strength In IA few Issues at different
times, but the improvements generally
were lost before the close There was no
definite trend to price movements, which
were in narrow range. and n large con-
traction in tho volume OF sales was
noted, due moro or less to the Indictment
weather.
Aetna Explosives featured the after
noon trading, rising moro than a point
20 its highest level in several weeks.
Strength may be attributed to the plan
Of Judge Julius Mayer to recapitalize the
company. Keystone Tire and Rubber
was less active and lower on continued

shortly before the close.

STEEL CONSUMERS
HALT NEW ORDERS
Await Changes in Prices AT.
ter Government Releases
Control.

The logical effect OF the announce
ment OF the reduction in steel prices ac-
cording to the Iron Trade Review, was
hte suspension OF buying by the con-
sumers Of iron and steel This and other
trade publications do not take tone OF
OF normal business. at least on scale
equal 20 the capacity OF all the plants
that have been working on Government
orders. In fact the Iron Age says that
the belief that with the heavy cancella-
tons by England. France and the United
States demand for some months would
fall below capacity was still the domi-
nant consideration. This publication
continues:
while the War Industries Board has
indicated that there will be no Govern
ment prices on iron and steel after De-
cember 81. II may announce the new
schedule of prices which the manufac-
turers will seek 10 maintain as repre-
senting a fair readjustment from the
war level On the other hand, the an
nouncement may be made solely by and
on behalf Of the manufacturers.
''The past week has brought further
export and domestic business to the steel
companies, some booking more than their
current output, but as heretofore it was
an aggregate OF small replenishing Or
ders The belief that with the heavy
cancellations by England. France and
the United States demand for some
months would fail below capacity is still
the dominant conside ration.
Pig iron sellers are disposed to see q
stronger situation in their trade than in
steal. holding that both in this country
and in Great Britain blast furnace build
ing has not kept pace with new steel
works capacity. Hence the inquiries,
still quite indefinite. for American pig
iron for shipment TO England"
