QUOTATIONS ON STEEL
AND OTHER METALS

NEW YORK. April .5.-The steel
situation has taken decidedly unfa-
vorable course during the last few
days. The chief reason for the change
lies in the fact that the railroad ad-
ministration. by refusing to place or
derS for large tonnageS of rails and
other equipment at the new lower
prices decided upon by the industrial
board. has brought about a decidedly
unsettled tone in the whole industry.
since private consumers have been
waiting for the government depart

their failure to do this has materially

Copper Demand Receives Check.

After the active business reported
recently in copper around the l5-cent
and 1514 -cent levels the advance
to 1o11 cents delivered seemed TO
check demand this week and some of
the local dealers showed a disposition
TO shade prices in consequence. Quo

Mill Operations Shrink.

Mill operations. since the new price
scale was announced. have shown "A
slight shrinkage, and this. coupled
with the scarcity of new business. has
caused some depression in steel cir
cles. Pig iron is quiet and also unfa =
vorable, since all the business to
which producers can point at the mo-
ment is an occasional small sale. The
real buying movement has been wait
ing for the announcement of the gov
ernments purchasing program, and
the halt in this field. caused by the
refusal of the railroad officials to
sanction purchases, bids fair to create
deadlock in the industry.
Pig iron production during March
reached total of 3.061.610 tons. COM
pared with 2.943,347 tons in February.
The slight gain during last month is
regarded not so much as result of
better conditions as it is of longer

MOVING IN THE MUD.

Moving time seems to come near
the first Of April in Philip this

things bad, but those punctual
ones who vacated a week or ten

so as to be established in their new
quarters by April /, were frequent
ly begged down nearly hub deep

County headquarters expects to
ship the old clothes it has gather
ed for allied relief on Wednesday
afternoon, April 9. It is expected
that this will be large shipment.
The boxes will be heavy, and the
help of several men will be needed
for an hour or so, not longer, in
getting the shipment ready. The
following men have been appoint
ed to assist the several women who
are always on hand to do this
work without any appointment:

farm and ranch pronerty, yet real
estate men who know claim that
more lands have already changed
ownership during the months of
January, February, and March
than during these three months in
any years recently.
The outlook for the coming year
in real estate transactions is cer-
tainly promising. The whole CO.
untry is prosperous; the farmers
of the Northwest were never more
prosperous, and they follow their
natural and conservative inclina-
tion in planting their surplus
cash in cheap lands west of the
Missouri river where they are JUS
titled in expecting large returns on
their investments.

Statute of Limitations Runs Ir
Stanley County.

While the grand jury spent near
ly three weeks investigating var
ious matters in Stanley county,
and rumor is persistent that it
was chiefly concerned in poking in
to alleged wrongdoing of county
officers, the indications are that
there will be no prosecutions OF a
criminal nature. The statute of
limitations runs in South Dakota
against such matters in three
years, and the rumor comes up the
river now to the effect that much
of the irregularity found by the
Investigators lies beyond that per-
iod.
Rumors are also current, and we
give them for what they may be
worth, that the citizens of Stanley
county have been complaining
lately on account Of the manner
in which certain county affairs
have been conducted. Hints are
of a general looseness in carrying
on the offices and affairs of the
county, rather than anything of a
direct criminal nature. Of course
no one can say what a grand jury
is or is not doing or what the out
come of its proceedings may be. 1t
is coolly deliberate body, and
holds its sessions behind closed
doors.
1t is said that there may be suits
of a civil nature brought against
ex-county officers of that county
and others who have had business
transactions with the county, ask
ing that funds improperly extract
ed be put back into the county
treasury. The statute of 'limita-
tions on civil suits, by the way, is
six years. What may come out of
it no one knows.

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE.

If the real estate market gets
much livlier hereabouts it will be
necessary to establish a real estate
exchange in Philip. Never since
the early days of the town, and
possibly not then, has so much
property in the city changed
hands as this spring Several store
buildings and other like enterpris-
es have changed hands since the
beginning of the year, and a dozen
or more rsidences have been
transferred.
