Weekly Metal Review
By Associated rress


 New York, April 27.-The scarcity of ule adopted by the international board is reported to be forcing mill operations to low levels. The average mill output through the country is believed to be around 50 per cent. In computing this average it is to be noticed that the pro- duction of the leading interests enter to a great extent and balances up the diminished turnout of the smaller and high cost plants. The situation is con- sidered to be more active because of the presence of more small orders for prompt shipment.
 There is little activity in the local pig iron market Orders are coming in for an occasional carload for prompt shipment. Consumers are showing their lack of confidence in the market by filling only for immediate needs and then only in as small amounts as will serve to tide over their wants.
 The export situation is little inn proved In pig iron it is stated by ex- porting houses that several large in- quiries which are in the market are being held up solely because of the un- certainty in the local market and the presence of high rates on ocean ship ments. The export combine has an- nounced a price of S55 per ton for Bes- semer rails for export, s10 over the do- mestic price.
 The copper market here has been ex- tremely dull during the week. Consum- CTS have shown little interest in prices and the range is fairly well defined at from 15 A @15Ac per pound, delivered. There are lower quotations than this range but the shading is insignificant, coming entirely from jobbers and sec ond hands. The production of the red metal is being curtailed and there are at least two instances of almost com plete shutdowns.
 Lead is stagnant. The tin market con tinues quiet.

Today and every Monday all chil-
 dren 12 years of age and under will be admitted to Redwood free of charge. The baseball association is making this | 9 special children's day and President W. D. Smith will probably be host to 1000 or so kids.
 "Scrappy'', Moore continues to dstin- guish himself with the willow. The Atlanta third sacker, reputed to be soft thing with the bat, has come through in great style thus far. 'Scrappy" got his monicker at Wander r. bilt, where he played with the Commo- dore baseball team for several seasons. Hugo Bezdek's Pirates trounced the mighty Cubs two out of three games in the Windy City. Looks like that training they got at Redwood wasn't
 so bad after all Babe" Adams, hero of the worlds series a decade ago, turned the trick Saturday.
 Big Ira Flagstead, former Chatta- nooga outfielder, celebrated his debut
 with the Detroit Tigers by hitting safe
 three times. Flagstead is a natural slugger and will hit well in any league and against any kind of pitching.
 When the Pels open here today local fans will have an opportunity to see team that is doped as the best in the circuit. Dobbs has on his roster several star hurlers and four or five hitters of note. Kitchens, catcher; De- Berry first base; Knaupp second base' Stansbury, third base, and Gilbert, cen ter field, have all appeared here De- fore Robertson, Weaver and two or three youngsters are the stars or ms hUrling corps.

Big Surprise.

My wonderful Improvement since

of the time and had rheumatism in
my knees SO bad at times 1 could
hardly walk. I tell you 1 was in a
pretty bad fix and nothing seemed to

To tell you the truth I had very
little faith in Tanlac doing me any
