DUN'S REVIEW

New York, February 7.-Duns tomor- row will say:
 The anticipated geenral business re- cevery is still deferred, but the way is being gradually shaped for it's coming. Foremost as a constructive element are the continuing price establishments, es- sential to wholesome and lasting com mercial revival. and other favorable au- guries include the recent reductions if ocean freights and the easier conditions in money. Of disquieting features the existing labor troubles, notably those 1T ca stern textile centers are conspicuous and the percentage of idle machinery has steadily risen, either because of strike: or from the slow development of new or ders to replace the expired or cancelieo government contracts.
 That progress mainly hinges on prices as has been the case since the signing Of the armistice, is now more widely re- cognized, and sellers display less inde- pendence as buyers hold off for the fur ther concessions, which they believe to be inevitable. To what lengths the price reaction, already marked in some in stances, must carry before there will ap- pear the broad and confident demand necessary to vigorous trade expansion
 Is not clear at the moment, but that it has not yet gone far enough in many lines. the diminishing consumption indi cates.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland O., February 7.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review says Sehti- mentally the first real signs of im- provement since the readjustment pro cess began have developed in the iron and steel market during the past week. It must be emphasized, however, that the tangible results of this in the way of heavier bookings are not important. At the same time the contraction or the mill operations seems to have reached the point where it more nearly bal ances against the flow of miscellaneous new business plus the tonnage being ordered out against the backlogs pre- viously accumulated. The present op- erations of the Carnegie Steel com pany are about so per cent, or some what in excess of that of other large producers.
 The ore factor which seems to have done most toward producing a better feeling in the industry is the reduc- tion of ocean freight rates ordered by the shipping board about 10 days ago and further extended to new destina- tions during the past week. This lowering of the costs of ocean haul is making purchases more attractive to foreign interests and has been closely followed by the appearance of numer- ous export inquiries in pig iron and steel which possess every mark of be- ing Of a firm and bona fide character. Some of this business in fact has been closed. though most of 1t is in he- gotiating stage.
 The American Sheet and Tin Plate company took an order for electrical sheets from France which will fill it's capacity in this grade for two months. X recent order placed by French shipyard in the east calls for 2s00 tons of structural shapes. There Is a very appreciable. and in some lines, a growing demand upon the mills for small lots of materials for immediate shipment. This furnishes an index alike to a substantial eniightening condition of current consumption and to the continued unwillingness of buy
 CTS to work very far in the future. Early rail needs of 530 000 tons have been put up to the railroad adminisz tra ton by the railroads and action on these may be taken shortly. The navy department is taking bids on 16,09C tons of plates for about 5000 tons of shapes for four battleships and fuel ship.
 January pig iron production as ex- pected showed drop from that 1f December amounting to 130,32S tons. The January total was 3,303,7S5 tons and the daily average 106.574 tons. gainst 110.77S tons in December. The number of active furnaces fell 351 to | 329. striking feature of the month was the sharp drop in the output of spiegeleisen from 30.S91 to 15,919 tons and ol ferromanganese from 31,3S4 to 24,1s0 tons

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

to lift his players to higher things than has McGraw.
 A few years McGraw had Roger Bresnahan behind the plate-and he needed him greatly. Bresnahan was one of the bulwarks of the Giant club. It was felt that without Roger be- hind the plate the Giants would be con- siderably weakened. Just at that time, the chance was offered to Bresnahan to go to St. Louis to manage the Car dinals. The thing was put up to Me- Graw He had the power over Bresna- hans future.
 McGraw, although perfectly cogni- zant of the fact that by losing Bres- nahan he was losing the star of ms catching department, gladly consented to let him go He didn't want to stand in Bresnahans way of advancement.
 Later on the Reds needed a man. ager. The owners decided that they would like to hame Charlie Herzog. McGraw needed Herzog for his third basing position because at the time he had "tipoff' that Arthur Shafer probably would not be back in the game. By letting Herzog go McGraw knew that he probably would be with out a first-class third baseman. But the contract that the Reds offered to Herzog was a splendid one and Me Graw know that it w)uld be big financial sacrifice to l[erzog if hs couldn't accept it.
 And so John McGrav went righ ahead and put through the deal where by he lost his regular third basemaa simply because he didn't want to bt the obstacle that would keep Herzoi from going to higher things
 Later on when the Reds needed du other manager it was McGraw wi., produced him in the person of Christi Mathewson The Giant leader realized the value of Matty as a coach of the youthful pitchers. He knew that with out Matty he would be handicapped

sorely. He wanted to keep Matty on the Giant roster indefinitely. But when he learned that the Reds wanted manager and that they would like to have Matty, it was, McGraw who ensi- neered the deal whereby "Bix Six" be- came the leader of the Reds.
 Few men ever worked under Me- Graw who were regarded as more val uable to him than Wilbert Robinson. It was this genius tutor who develop ed Rube Marquard, Ferdie Schupp and other Giant players. Robinson was ar absolute wizard as a coach and during all the years that he served as right hand man for McGraw, he was most invaluable. But when the offer came to Robinson to manage the Dodgers and the thing was put up to McGraw, he said:
 "Go ahead. Wilbert grab the job. need you and I would like to have you with the Giants. but I don't want to block the way that will lead to your landing a job as mara Tsr.'
 Later on McGraw secured George Gibson, the old Pirate catcher-and Gibson proved a great aid to McGraw. A few weeks ago Gibson was offered job as manager of the Toronto ln- ternationals-a distinct advancement over his present posi ion. He went to McGraw. told him about it, and Me- Graw, instead of attempting to balk the deal and so keep the man who was of such great worth to him. went ahead and smoothed the way for Gibson ro land the job.
 At the time that McGraw purchased an interest in the Giants and became vice. president of the club, he real ized that his new job was one which probably would take considerable of his time. He knew that he needed the best possible man as a lieutenant-one who could lead the team in action if he was absent from the field. He was fortunate enough to secure Pat Moran an ideal man for the job. McGraw' peace of mind was restored. He knew that if his position as vice-presideht kept him from the ballfield he would have Moran out on the coaching lines to pinch hit for him in a praise worthy way.
 And then, the Reds, needing another manager. made Overtures to Moran What happened? Did McGraw put his foot down against it and insisted tha. Moran live up to his contract as coach of the Giants: did McGraw consider his own personal comfort in the mat ter-or did he consider Moran? The answer is found in the fact that Pat Moran today is the manager of the Reds and John McGraw is again look ing for a coach.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-08

John McGraw's recent action in per hitting Pat Moran to go to the Reds as manager of that team is just an other ",ipoff' as to the personal sac rifices the Giant leader is every ready to make for his men and for his friends.
 No man has ever been more censured than John McGraw-and no man ce- served it less Through all the years of his ciamond career McGraw has been the target for all the ''pac" ar- lists. Yet when one analyses the at tacks on McGraw it is always found that those are leveled by men who know McGraw but little. They per haps know John McGraw on the bait field-but they do not know John Me Graw, the man And it is the man that should be judged.

TIMELY TALK BY THOMAS

Senator Thomas, of Colorado, is one
Democrat whose fearlessness and in
dependence of thought have put him
in disfavor with President Wilson. In
a recent speech on the floor of the Sen
ate, prompted by the insolent attitude
toward the Federal Government OF
the Railroad Brotherhood, Thomas re-
viewed the class legislation which has
marked the late history of this Re-
public, and which he declares is the
cause of much of the industrial unrest
which we are experiencing today
This recalls few premonitory re-
marks which Senator Thomas made in
this same connection something over
one year ago, as follows:
III sometimes think that the Demo-
cratic party should change one of its
slogans by reversing it, and declare
itself for special privileges to all and
equal rights to none. Since my en-.
trance into this body, and especially
since the 4th of March, 1918, we have
probably enacted more class legisla'
ton than can be found in the acts OF
preceding Congresses" President
Wilson first. took office March 4th
1913. What is the answer, Wilson

Virgil B. Germond has started ac-
tion in chancery in the circuit court
against Frank Weitke, Durand gar
age man, claiming that Weitke sold
him a Chevrolet car supposed to be
in good condition, he giving for the
car a promisory note, Holstein cow
valued at 500 and $50 in cash.
Germond says that when he got his
car he was unable to run it and tele-
phoned Weitke who sent Harry
Mackey to look the car over. 1t was
not repaired and several days later,
the bill recites, Weitke came and
took the COW from Germond. Then
Germond had the car returned to
Weitke and asked for the note. Welt
Ike refused to surrender it, it is al
legged.
