the following reply today to Sena-

promise and make the treaty a 1920

STEEL AND PIG
 IRON MARKET
The Iron 4 ge says:

Volume of new business and rate of production in steel has undergone lit tie change in June. The improvement of three weeks ago has been held, without the signs that usually attend a regulation buying movement. The amount of new manufacturing capac- ity that is projected in metal-wor1ing lines in the middle west. particularly in the Detroit district. and the repair and new construction work laid out by a number Of steel companies are outstanding features.
 The reduction of 51S,375 tons in the Steel corporations thrilled orders was rather more than was expected. but Steel corporation operations have been at a generally higher rate than those of independent companies Apparent ly- the export movement in May was even smaller than had been supposed.
 It is interesting to watch the spread of the belief that substantially the present level of prices, with possible slight concessions here and there. also possible advances, is 10 be reckoned with for a longer time than seemed likely three months ago. Jobbers ap- pear to be buying with less fear of having stocks decline in value before they can be sold.
 In the absence of railroad buying, the possibility that the railroads will not be able to handle the fall move ment of grain is urged. on the belief that the steel trade will be buster then.
 Pig iron and old material present the most tangible indications of the change that is coming over the situa- ton. Buffalo reports pig iron orders n n n tons. For 12,OO0 tons of basic $25.75 per ton was paid. Both Buffalo and Birmingham report that addition al stacks are soon to be blown in. Concessions of S1 to $3 on southern iron to meet northern competition continue to be made.
 An inquiry for 2Q,000 tons of basic iron for Wales is considered more promising than most of the export business lately considered Conces- sions on both the iron and the ocean freights must be had to come within the present spread of S14 between American and British pig iron In quiry for southern ore from Great Britain and Scandinavia, has develop ed offerings of vessel space at SIS.
 The Iron Ages cable reports the buying of 10000 tons of rails by Bel gium at 800 francs, or about S77.50 per ton, but it is douhted that Belgian mills could roll any of this order for months. The Alcoma, Ontario, mill is credited with an order for 5000 tons of heavy rails for Belgium. Export business with England is difficult to put through. though prices which American mills are offering, eff. British ports, are low enough to com pete successfully with thOso which

WILSON AGREES TO
 HELP THE IRISH
Says He Will Act in An Unofficial Capacity. However: Delegates
 Pay Him d Visit.

Paris, June 12 (By The Associated Press. )---President Wilson told repre- sentativcs of Irish societies in Amer ica, yesterday that he would do what he could, uno1ficia Fly, to bring the Irish question 10 the attention of the other peace commissioners.
 This announcement was made by Frank P Walsh and Edward F. Dunne, the representa- tives of the sh-Americans, after a 30-mnute conference with the president,
 The promise was made by the pres ident in reply to q question from Messrs. Walsh and Dunne as to what he intended to do in view of the reso- lution adopted by the senate urging that the American delegation take steps to have representatives of Ire land heard by the peace conference.
 Messrs. Walsh and Dunne said they went over the situation in Ireland generally in their talk with the pres- dent. They gave out this statement:
 We had a conference with the president in which ne stated that the American commissioners could not take up tho case of Ireland officially with the peace conference, but that he himself and others had done and would continue to do. unOt11cia lly what they could do in the interest of Ireland that the American commits sion had not yet taken up the senate resolution requesting them to use their efforts to secure a hearing for De Valera, Griffith and Plunkett
 Of course. we will take no further steps until the Am erioon ron, n, iee;o,, passes on the senate resolution. If 8, hearing is granted De Valera and his associates. and international recogni- ton is secured for the Irish republic then our work is at an end
 ''If the request of the senate is de- nied. We will proceed with our efforts to present the case of Ireland to the whole peace conference"

 There is continued effort to whet interest in the wire trade, which for some time has shown healthy activity, by intimations of a possible advance of S2 per ton or more. At Cincinnati a recent government sale of surplus wire nails led to a slight reduction in jobbers prices.
 Heavy demand for alloy steel has come from automobile manufacturers, one contract covering 4,000 tons for the remainder of the year.

Pickles and
Tasty Sandwiches
BY RIDDY BYE

How nan times are you called in
to help plan a light supper to follow
a lodge meeting, board of trade meet
ing, or perhaps a women's auxiliary
meeting? After many times, ideas
are liable to run low. Or perhaps
the occasion calls for a fairly sub
stantial lunch, while your thoughts
travel toward a lighter, daintier af-
fair, Anyhow, it's well to store up a
few notes on both kinds.
If the weather is too warm to al
low thoughts of hearty food, anyone,
man or woman, will be most refresh
ed after a meeting by a buffet lunch
of berries, either Strawberries or
raspberries, ice cream, coffee and
cake. or cookies.
But if they have an appetite for
something more, a buffet supper may
be enlarged to this:
Coffee, bouillon (both in large
urns), sliced, cold boiled ham, potato
salad, homemade Parker House
rolls, pickles.
Or a variation of this kind:
Sandwiches piled high on large
plates-good, old fashioned sliced
ham sandwiches, sliced or minced
chicken sandwiches, or cheese and to-
mato sandwiches, bananas, coffee or
cocoa.
Another lighter lunch is an old
familiar:
Cheese. salt crackers, doughnuts
coffee, olives.
