I'nuuestionahly there were no more
difficult tasks in all the war to deal
with than the postal censorship in
England, but so we'll was it handled by
Mr.. Worthington that when the United
States came into the war he was asked
by us to take over our censorship of
all mail for continental Europe passing
through England That was the high
est tribute which could be paid the
British censor for during the early
wears of the war there was much
grumbling and discomfort in this coun-
fry over mail delays supposed TO have
been caused by the British.
OF course II is only in theory that
Mr.. Worthington opened all the mail.
And it was only in theory that any
censor opened all the mail. There

INDUSTRY CLIMBS
DESPITE STRIKES,
REVIEW INDICATES
Decrease in Car Loadings Is
Attributed to Fall of
Coal Shipments.

New York, July 16.-(By The AS
sociated Press With the country's
two major labor disputes still contrib
I utng their elements of uncertainty,
business and financial news during the
past week suggest that the trend
toward improvement is uninterrupted.
Railroad ear loadings for the last week
in June were slightly smaller than in
the one previous. which set a new high
record for the year
The loading decrease is accounted
for by smaller coal shipments. the
movement of merchandise showing a
further gain.
Steel Demand Maintained
Indication that better demand for
steel products is being maintained were
confirmed by the June 80 total of uu-
filled orders of the United States Steel
corporation. AS of the first of the cur
rent month, the corporations books
show $685. 600 tons of unfinished busi-
ness, this figure being 3S1 900 tons
larger than on May 80 and 1 .494 900
tons above that on February IS. when
the low point of the recent depression
was reached
1t is estimated. furthermore. that the
June 10 figure means that new bust
ness during June amounted TO more
than / 100000 tons, which is a volume
exceeding the corporation monthly
production capacity. At present steel
output is experiencing a mild check on
account of the railroad strike, the steel
corporations rate of operations having
been reduced from - per cent TO IS
per cent.
Coal Production Lowered
Coal production for the week ending
July s shows a marked decrease. The
loss of approximately 100000 tons
from the low production of recent
weeks served to intensity the drain on
existing stocks.
Crop prospects are practically un-
changed. The department of agricul-
lures grain estimate. as of July /.
indicates a fair yield the winter wheat
crop is placed at 569.00O00O bushels.
or 1SOO0.0O0 bushels below last years
crop, but the spring wheat outlook is
enough better 10 bring the total Of
both crops up to S17.oO0.O00 bushels
This total is 21.0O0.000 bushels more
than last years crop. 4 fair crop Of
corn is also in prospect. With prices
little changed. the present grain crop
promises TO be sufficiently good to in
sure the continuation of revival In
general business.
