trade what is probably the most active
week in railroad material il has eyer
known, the Iron Age says in its
Iron Market Review. issued TODAY
All the important lines and many
smaller ones have either contracted
for their 1923 rails, wholly or in large
part, or made reservations which will
become definite tonnages a little later.
In the Chicago district this business
amounts TO about 100000 tons and
will be 100000 tons by the end of the
week. In the East nearly as much
more is reported. Adding orders
which will go to the Alabama and
Colorado mills gives a total well above
100000 tons.
The remarkable run Of locomotive
buying which followed the railroad
shipments strike has kept up. the

fully $50 are pending. The latter in

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
CARELESS SMOKERS
Chief lutz Starts Movement to
Reduce ENORMOUS Annual
Fire Loss.

Smokers and users of matches caused
destruction by fire of over sol, SOC, 600
worth OF property in the United States
during the five years, 19l5-l9l9 inclu-
sive, according to Fire Chief VIM. j.
Lutz, who today started special cam
paign against the careless smokers IN
this city.
We not are criticising the habit of
smoking" said Chief Lutz, but we do
censure the careless persons who thought
lessly cast lighted cigar, cigarette or
match in toiwaste baskets, rubbish piles or
other places where combustible material
is present.
considering that the American public
consumes over 1921 100000 cigars,
more than 32,456, 600, 900 cigarettes
yearly and 700,000,000 matches daily,
it is not surprising that we have so many
fires from this hazard. The mileage of
the cigarette used in the course of a
wear would stretch distance almost five
times the length of Americas steam rail-
ways. This large consumption does not
excuse the loss, however, but makes It
evident that stringent precautions are
necessary.
UNFORTUNATELY there is considerable
loss of life by burning because of reck-
less employees in factories and other places
of business who snatch smoke when
the foreman is not looking If discovery
is threatened, the smoker is likely to get
rid of his cigarette, cigar or pipe as
rapidly as possible, with little thought
as to where it may land.
Eve have had number of serious
fires from IT, hazard in our own city
notably tina which occurred at Z ,55 p. m
March %, a, al Tatnall street. A mar
was smoking a cigar in bed. In fact
smokers are responsible for greater
portion OF of fire losses than any Other
agency, except improperly used elei
ctricity and electrical appliances"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Those who follow the stock market
situation carefully professed to believe
that on the reactions which took place
during the last week there was buying
of an impressive character, there being
an important reflection of this In the
ease with which the rails moved up on
Friday following the comparative
quietude that had obtained in this
group for several days past.
Therefore. there was an equal de.
gree of confidence in important circles
that, during the coming week. the stock
market will again forge ahead and that
several new high quotations will be
established in a number of the leading
issues.
Railroad stocks have been somewhat
neglected and, at the moment, are out
Of line with the rest OF the market.
1t is not improbable that movement
Of siza5lc proportions may take place
in such issues as Southern Pacific,
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1922-05-08

Obviously, there Is no let-up in the
pronounced demand for high-grad
bonds in evidence for some time past,
as was demonstrated by the heavy
ovcrsubscriptions received for num-
Der of new issues brought out by some
of the leading banking houses, The
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany IS, according to reports, were
nearly four times subscribed, while
other substantial offerings met with
equal success.
The public is keen for new issues and
little difficulty has been experienced in
successfully placing large amounts Of
securities with investors. bankers re.
porting the character OF distribution
recently much more satisfactory than
at any time since the upwarG movement
In bonds started several months ago.
The rise has been steady one and the
feeling is there will be no easing up
in inquiry in the near future, particu-
larly as money continues moderately
easy, the banks having large amounts
of funds available for loaning.
