Industrial
Metals

Interest in the steel trade last week
centred in the meeting Of leading pro-
ducera in New York, when the labor
situation as related to the possibility
or obtaining greater production for
military necessities was discussed.
While steel production has been heavy,
it continues far short of requirements.
The whole question was left to COM
mittee comprising the general com
mlttee of the American Iron and Steel
Institute.
Government requirements for rail-
ways here and in France are particu-
larly pressing. Next in importane.
comes shipbuilding, and then supplies
for the army and navy. There is prae-
tically nothing left at present for non
essential industry.
All pigiron now sold is on govern
ment account. Allocations have been
comparatively light, because there has
been no supply available. Furnaces
are still far behind on orders, ana
smaller producers claim the price fs
so low tIat they will be forced to dis
continue. Present supply of coke is
barely sufficient.
The supply of copper is sufficient to
meet indirect needs of the govern
mcnt, with little surplus for jobbers.
Lead continues scarce. 1t is beine
parcelled out by producers to con-
sumers holding government contracts
only.
After some activity, spelter is weaker
again.
Consumers of tin are we'll supplied
for tho present and there is no de-
mand Selling offers have weakened
the market, which has alsot been de-
clning steadily in England. Straits
shipments can now be had at II cents
for consumers only. Anthony is quies

Cereals

Wheat.-Thresh shing returns from
both the winter and spring wheat belts
in the West continue TO show larger
yields than were indicated by the last
government report. II seems more
than probable that the final estimate
will indicate considerable increase
and, in fact, a report on Saturday by
q leading crop authority placed the
present indicated crop at s97 900, 900
bushels, or an increase of about 20
100000 from the August estimate by
the Agriculture Department. The re-
cent rains have. been highly favorable
for the next crop. as they have placed
the soil in exceptionally fine condition
for ploughing and this work is max
ing unusually rapid progress.
The congestion at the seaboard which
resulted from the recent large export
sales is being steadily improved and
it was predicted on Saturday that the
surplus stocks at leading Atlantic and
very short time and that the food ad-
ministration will be in a position to is
sue shipping permits for new business.
Corn.-The corn market showed an
easy undertone despite the fact that
leading crop expert issued a report
in which he made the condition at
the end of August only CAS- per cent
compared with 10 last month The in
dicated yield was 2,665,0OO,000. or a
falling off of 335Ooo,OOO from The last
government report. These figures were
not materially under the popular idea in
connection with yield. however, and in
consequence prices failed to respond
more than momentarily. Sentiment
was Influenced more particularly by
cash markets where prices were 3 to 5
cents lower Continued heavy receipts
were anticipated and since the new
regulations in connection with the use
of substitutes was published the mill
ing demand for cash corn has fallen off
quite materially.
Yes'day's Previous Year
Chicago: close close. ago
September Ssetsa s11.55assh s1.s4H1s
Oats.-The oats trade in the West
seemed to be anticipating liberal de-
liveries on September contracts on
Tuesday. At any rate, cash houses
sold the October position, which was
thought to be against expected de-
liveres of September. In consequence
the market presented an easier under
tone, although price changes were not
important. Receipts are expected to
continue large and thrashing returns
are showing greater yield per acre
than had previously been reported. A
private estimate on the crop made the
indicated yield 1,500.OO0O00 bushels,
which compared with last months gov
ernment estimate of 1,428, 100000.

GREAT NOVEL PICTURiZED WITH MARY PICkFORD LIN THE FADING ROLE

! In direct contrast to her more re dramatic qualities, Mary Pickford' s l next screen portrayal is none other than that of the popular little figure | in American literature, 'Rebecca of | Sunnybrook Farm" During the past year Our Mary" has received coun- 1 less requests for her appearance in i this famous subject and her picturi- zation of quaint little Rebecca is in l direct compliance with popular de. {, mand.
 Mary Pickford's presentation of 1 ''The Poor Little Rich Girl" will ! live long in the hearts of American i picture patrons. In this child part the sweet little actress scored one of her very greatest successes and her adaptabilities to such portrayal

BEAUTIFUL NiiiLIST
 DROWNED WHEN BIG YACHT IS DESTROYED

A number Of scenes in My Offic. ial Wife" a de luxe edition of the great success which Vitagraph re-
 leased some time ago with Clara Kimball Young, Earle Williams, liar ry Mercy and other prominent Vita graph players contains genuine thrills.
 One scene in particular in this feature which is the attraction at the Palace Theatre on Sunday and Monday shows the sinking of a ship. MT. Williams, who is in love with Miss Young, a Nihilist, much sought after by the Russian Government, has taken her on his yacht to es- cape the pursuers. While they real ize that they will eventually meet death they desire to face it togeth- CT, happy in the love which has made death preferable to separation. Flashes of the pursuing ship are shown with the stolid sailors shoot. ing shells through the water after the escaping vessel with it's desired passengers.
 Gradually the tension is heighten- ed but when it reaches the highest pinnacle the last shell hits the yacht and beams, furniture and machinery fly into the air as so much debris.
 Mir. Williams and Miss Young, who had tied themselves together in order to carry out the story, suf- fered to no small extent from the | floating wreckage in the water after the wreck when they are found lying side by side in the water.
 Nevertheless, both artists refused to have the realism of the production enhanced byonny change in plans so. they suffered through the filming of the necessary films without a mur- mer
