Sheet Bars Up TO S45.

little more activity is noticed In the
semi-finished steel market Wire rods
and sheet bars again figure In recent
sales and have been taken at minimums
OF S47.50 and $40, Youngstown or Pitts
burgh, respectively. on wire rods s47.50
now is the market, since nothing less
than that figure Is available In this dis
trict. Sheet bars at $40 likewise have
been booked in 500 or / 200 ton lots, and
up to Si5 Is being quoted.
The chief difficulty of steel makers
over sheet bars Is to complete desired
deliveries and operations of finishing or
conversion mills are greatly interfered
with on that account. The same range
OF prices--s40 to S45-apples to re-
rolling billets. with forging billets SELL
Ing at a maximum of $50. Sales of re-
rolling bllets just now are light. Con-
lectures are numerous as to what the
Carnegie Steel Company's fourth quarter
prices Will be on semi-finished materials.
The consensus points to a price below
$04.
Although large new buying OF plates is
limited, occasional tank orders are being
closed and orders for penstock work con-
tinuc. Tankage inquiries of size, how
ever, are rare. the usual ones involving
from one to three tanks at time a
recent penstock order went to the Pitts
] burgh -Des Moines Steel Company for
erection in New York State. are involved
about 500 tons. To take in the entire
range OF prices being quoted on plates
2c To 2.50c. must be quoted. 1t Is likely
that 225c. to 2.50c is more representa-
tive of the spot market One order for
- tons OF plates for coal mine equip
mcnt carried a 2.25c. price recently.
A jump in prices in the steel scrap
market has aroused considerable inter-
est. Heavy melting steel scrap has
brought s21,5O in a sale OF 5000 tons
to a steel interest down the Ohio River.
For long time the market price has
been $3.50, and predictions last week
that Il would go to $40 were secuted by
the trade as unlikely, but now the price
Of s21.5o has been accepted as market
index.

Motor Car Makers buying.

Automobile companies except in one
or two instances, still take all the full
finished sheets they can get and pay
as high as S11 a ton in advance of the
American Sheet & Tin Plate Company s
price of f.70c., base Pittsburgh, to get
them. Sales have been noted at 5.15c.
and 5.25c.. and several independent pro-
ducers now quote the last named figure.
Wide variations in quotations still exist,
3.35c. to 3.75c. representing the srange
on black sheets, 4.35c. to 475c on gall
vanized, while blue annealed sheets are
quoted at 250c to 2.75c. The lower
figures in each case are the prices of
the leading interest.
Although buying of tin plate for the
food packing industry is by no means
UP to the level of several weeks ago,
some fair sized lots have been closed.
During the last few weeks some large
exporters of case oil have been partic-
ularly active in buying the plate for
five gallon oil cans for delivery in the
fourth quarter. Some of this business
for shipment in November and Decem-
ber has gone to the American Sheet q
Tin Plate Company. but independents
also have shared. especially where Oc-
tober delivery could be granted.
Nothing definite has appeared on
price advance, although several repre-
sentative independent producers see the
necessity of IL. Producers costs have
been rising at the rate of 10 to 90 cents
or more per base box a month II is said,
and 1t Is not unlikely that SIS price
soon will be announced. For the time
being the market remains auotable at
$4.75 base box of 100 pounds. The
general average rate of operation in the
whole industry runs from SIS to 20 per
cent. of capacity.

STEEL PRICES FIRM
WITH OUTPUT GAINS
Buyers Now Concerned Only
About Prompt or Early
Deliveries.
SEE GOOD DEMAND AHEAD
Pittsburgh Traders Think
Call for Metal Will Last
for Year or Two.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 23.-The steel mar
ket seems to have been fairly well
equalized by the increase in production
that has just occurred. since prices have
not changed materially in the last fort
night and there is no definite upward
or downward trend apparent at present.
Interest exhibited by steel buyers Is
confined almost entirely to prompt and
early deliveries. little business being Of
fered for December or first quarter. In
some quarters the showing is interpreted
as indicating that there will be read
justment in the market before business
for 1928 is taken up on a large scale.
The common opinion is that demand
for steel will be fairly good for a year
or two this opinion being based upon a
survey Of general commercial and finan-
cial conditions in the country. Money
is easy and men generally are sanguine,
indicating that the money will be spent.
Roughly speaking. the rate of steel
production has increased about one-fifth
since the low point was reached, at the
end of August, the average operation of
the country increasing from say so to
60 per cent. The assumptions have been
chiefly through the industry opening it's
OWL coal mines since the strike settle
ment. AS it is difficult to obtain addi-
tional coal or coke by purchase. further
increase in the general operating rate is
expected TO be slow.
Box car shortage is reported from adj
ditional points, and is now more or less
general Shortage of open top cars is
much less conspicuous, but has been suf-
ficient to cause steel to accumulate at a
few plantS

Labor supply outlook Better.

The matter of labor supply is, giving
the industry much less concern than
formerly, partly because of the general
September l and partly because of the
approach of weather which is expected
10 reduce the amount of outside work
being done. Resumption of merchant
furnaces proves very difficult, and
nothing like a free supply of pig iron is
In prospect for the near future.
The pig iron market continues prac-
.tically stagnant with consumers In
general holding Off Their require
ments are evidently not as heavy as
might have been expected, while it APP
pears that in many cases prices asked
are practically prohibitive There will
hardly be a free movement in the pig
iron market until prices realized by pig
iron consumers advance or pig iron
prices come down. .rne market remains
quotable as follows: Bessemer. $34 !;
basic (nominaD. $40; foundry. $3.50.
freight rate to Pittsburgh being S1.77.
There has been a slight check on sheet
production by reason of car shortages
and railroad embargoes. Well filed
order books, are the rule, and from
present indications, in the case of few
large producers 100 per cent operations
would be possible for three or four
months. That high operating rate, how
ever. is not possible owing to the fact
that sheet makers are still short of sheet
bars. Practically all grades of sheets
are in keen demand.

 CONTINUES ATTACK
Democratic Nominee Finds His Nationality Is Only Objection

Speakers at the democratic rally in ehe K. of c. meeting hall last evening scored the propaganda that is being spread about the city concerning the unfitness of Alderman A. M Paones- a, democratic nominee for the may orally. because of his nationality. Several speakers spoke of the unfair ness of great many people who say that although there is nothing in the Alderman's record to stamp him as not worthy to hold the city's reins, still speak of him as foreigner
 Edward Mccarthy presided at the rally and introduced the various can djdates on the democratic ticket, who spoke in support of Mir Paones- sa. They were followed by F. S. Me MAhon and Philip Mcintyre. They both scored the republican party for the manner in which they have con- ducted the affairs of the city for the past ten years.

HAVE THE SAME WAY.
 the electromagnetic waves will travel u longer distance.
 l But length of the wave will remain the same. The amount of power of sending set has nothing to do with the wave length.
 Wave lengths depend on the amount of inductance and capacity in the antenna circuit of the set and the take place in the transmitted current. In the transmitting instrument there is an inductance consisting of spiral coil of heavy copper wire which is variable. By means of this more inductance may be added and the wave length increased. If the main antenna has too much inductance and the wave length is too long, a condenser of about .001 capa- lefty is placed in series with the an- tenna circuit to cut down the length.
 Wave lengths travel with the speed of light-1S6,0 900 miles a second. The waves may be sent out in one direction, if the antenna is constructed directionally.
 Take large flat stone and let the largest surface strike the water first. The waves will travel with more volume in one direction.
 In radio transmitting the direc- tional aerial is used only when the transmitting stations want to throw the most of their energy in one di- rection. Broadcasting stations do not use direetional antennas They want to cover the largest possib( area.

 He spoke of the claim that Mir. Quigley has made that he was in strumental in the purchase of the North End park, and quoted excerpts from the records of the common council showing that the act was passed during the administration of cx Mayor Joseph N Halloran, and claimed that Mir. Quigley, who was then councilman voted against the measure. He also spoke of the credit Mir Quigley is taking for the building of the dairy barn at the Town Home, saying that an appropriation o1 so,- 800 was asked at the time that the question was preached and was voted bv the common council. He said that up to date, the project has cost the city s19,oO0, and the taxpayers are t'''S the schools, saying that the cost Of the ones which were built during the Quigley administration had mounted to a million dollars, and hardly any of the debt had been paid, but was still marked up against the city.
 "Old Home Week.
 He also brought up the question of the "Old Home Week" celebration, stating that, at that time, Mayor Cur lis was the one who was instrumental in having the appropriation of S1o,- coo which the city had made towards it. increased to S15,000 and with l0, o0O which was donated by the manu- lecturers of the city, said that the entire amount gathered for the cele hration was S25, ,o00. He related how he, in the common council asked for an accounting of the expenditure ol that money, and was told that it was none of his business He said that one booth: small candy conces- sion conducted by the Y.

 Personal Tax Collector
 He then said that if elected, he would do away with the office of per sonal tax collector, which he said was q big political job He spoke of his fight against the trolley company, and other things which were fostered by him.
