Steel and Pig
 Iron Markets
The Iron 4 ge says.

inc 1lO4A S s6 says.
 The second week of the new iron and steel prices has brought little
 broadening or demand Inquiries and specifications have increased. but practically all the business offered is still recognized as having been held ] back awaiting the reductions. i NH operations In a number of 1 cases showed further falling off in the last week of March. and the month as 8 whole compares unfayor- 1 ably with February. Pig iron stocks l grew steadily in the month, and while IT furnaces blew out in February
 more than a score followed in March, and April will add largely to the idle list
 The railroad administrators re- fusaJ to accept the industrial board,s prices on steel or to be bound bv those vet to be fixed on coal and building material seriously threatens the whole stabilizing program. since the railroads would buy normally over 25 per cent of the Countrys produc- ton of coal and 20 per cent of it's steel. It is not surprising in view of the tumble at Washington, that in dividual buyers arc in no haste to spread sail.
 That the Td1IfO O4u tuInOFIIlSS may vet be brought into line, as was done by presidential intervention in the coal dispute Of last year. is still a possibility, but indications today are that if the railroad administration does not sanction the steel schedule, the government efforts st price sta bilizing will be abandoned.
 Sellers of pig iron have been be- sieged with inquiries for the revision of contracts in line with the $425 re- duction. Important Central Western interests and large Southern pro ducer have announced their intention of doing this. and. as with the De- cember reduction, the movement is likely to spread. Some furnaces, nevertheless insist on their contracts as they stand. and With iron enough ill stock to fulfill them. are shutting down.
 significant development is the putting through of foreign orders at dom estic prices, whereas early in the year export steel brought $5 ton
 more. Thus the March 20 rail price was made the basis Of a sale of 10,- 900 tons of standard sections for ManchUria. The war department also accepted the new price in disposinS or 5O,OO0 tons Of 9O-pound rails orig ina11y ordered for the army in France, but held at Atlantic port.
 Bolt and nut manufacturers after long conferences have made price re- ductions ranging from ls.5 to 22 per cent, corresponding to the two re- ductions made in their raw materials, one in December and one in March.
 Heavy melting steel scrap, which last month fell so low that open hearth steel works were led to use larger percentages has advanced under this demand and is now $2 or more above the low point. The war department now estimates that forg- ings and castings that will be sold as scrap amount to 900,000 tons The lots are well scattered, however, and sales need not cause decentralization

State News and Happenings of General Interest
CARSON CITY MASS MEETING
DISCUSSES NEW COURT HOlsI


There was al enthusiastic meeting
of the Greater Carson Club held at
the court house Monday evening.
The call for a citizens meeting 10
! talk over the proposition of select
ing a site for the State Memorial
building and erection of a e court
house.
Since the dill passed the legisla-
ture and has been signed By the gov
discussion relative to the blocks of
land that are to be selected for the
new buildings. Before the passage
of the bill 1t was generally thought
that the block of land directly south
of the court house block was to be
used for the Memorial building, and
with the understanding the two pa
pers of this city SO stated to the pub
lie. The matter had been discussed
in the open meetings and was the
e%oncensus of opinion that this should
be the land occupied.
In this matter the governor was
asked to address the meeting. The
governor stated that before he sign
ed the bill he was given to under
stand that the Memorial building
was to be placed on the block of
land facing the west front of the
Capitol building. He signed the law
calling for the appropriation of $780,
600 with this in mind. This was
among his reasons for approval.
His second reason was the actual
need of the room for the state in the
housing of the people. He also
stated that it was understood that
the new building was TO be occupied
by the supreme court and the state
library. That by erecting a %hre-proof
building that it would insure the
preservation of the valuable docu-
ments and the ever increasing and
valuable library. His third reason
was that il was a memorial to the
boys who had given their lives for
the great cause and one that would
be ain ornament to the state.
He further stated that 1t was the
decision Of the Board of Capitol
Commissioners that unless this coun-
ty helped and showed its intention of
meeting the state half way that
there would be no bonds issued by
the state to cover the expense ae-
count He did not hold this as a
threat but as a cold fact.
He referred to the old court house
as a Relic of Antiquity" which also
met the approval of the full house.

NEVADA GAINS FORTY PER
CENT IN POPULATION

According to the 1918 census re-
port, the State of Nevada is credited
with a population of 114,000. This
is a forty per cent increase over the
census of 1910 when this State was
only credited with a population of
81 200.
Conservative estimators state that
the increase this year will be large
and that there will be many more
thousands added in the next two or
three years. They base their claims
on the demands for Nevada lands as
shown by the Land Office entries. In
one day in the United States land Of
fee 43 entries were made and there
were over so applicants that we're
received.
The increased interest in mining
Is also bringing thousands in the
State, and those men who are in a
position TO judge freely make the
statement that the Tonopah Divide
will bring in a great influx almost
Immediately.
