REVIVAL OF STEEL MARKETEXPECTED

CLEVELAND. O.. Oct. 25.-Iron Trade Review today says:
 vival of the steel market in the near fu- ture still is placed in the railroads. growing number of negotiations for cars, locomotives, rails. bridges, track material and miscellaneous steel from this source are going forward and the prospects for large orders being placed soon are good. Building activity is more promising than was anticipated at this season. Demands in some other lines show a. tendency to expand Conservatism in buying against future needs generally, however, making the improvement of the steel market very gradual
 consumers. continue to draw the mills in large volume, but refrain from placing replenishing tonnage very far aeead. Pro- duction shows little change.
 To the large inquiries for ears, some of them negotiated quietly, has been added the definite request for $500 cars for the Union Pacific railroad. This makes at least 25.000 to S0,000 cars in an active state. Heavy locomotive orders also re- main in prospect. Track material re-
 Reconstruction needs of Japan now are furnishing each week a large tonnage of new business Tn these orders Ho oea sheets pre- 30 gage and heavier is expected to be distributed this week.
 New steel demands for buildings are growing heavier. Present inquiries at New York are estimated 50,000 tons, which is the largest total of any one time since last spring.
 Reported negotiations by the American Radiator company for 25,0oo to 50,o00 tons for various plants is an interesting development in a continuing weak market
 Several additional merchant furnaces are being put out, particularly in the east in & further effort to balance production
 Pig iron is responsible for the continu- ing decline in Iron Trade Review com posite of IA leading iron and steel prod ucts. The average this week is down to S437O. compared with S4390 last week.

MOLLA MAY NOT
 BE ABLE TO PLAY

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-(By Associ- ated Press )-The eligibility of Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory of New York, former national women's ten his champion, to compete for Ameri- ca in the Olympics next year, has been questioned but as yet no def1- nite decision has been made upon her status 1t developed today at the meeting of the executive committee of the Olympic committee.
 Her case has been carried for de- cision to the international olympic federation. While apparently barred by the fact that she competed for her native country, Norway, in the olympics of 1912 at Stockholm, be- fore making her residence here, offi- cials said that regulations might be construed so as to permit her to rep resent America at Paris.
 It was pointed out by Julian ;. Myrick, former president of the United States Lawn Tennis associa- tion, that Mrs. Mallory, who has held the national title seven times since coming here in 1915, may be de- clared eligible because of her status as an American citizen through mar riage to Franklin I. Mallory, New York stock broker.
 The U. S. l.. T. A. plans to send strong team of both men and women stars and had counted Mrs. Mallory as one of it's strongest members Prior to the olympics women S team match with Great Britain is planned for the Wightman cup, won at Forest Hills this year by America.

WHEAT RISES ON REPORT OF FROST

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-New upturns in the price of wheat today resulted chiefly from reports of threatened damage by frost in Argentina and from continued gossip that the Unitel States government would take some action likely to enhance grain values. The market closed unsettled ss to Nc net higher with December, S1.07 to s1,07A and May S1.11% to $111%. Corn finished ss to 1Ac up, oats at 5s to E Ao gain and pro- visions varying from Sc decline to 17c advance.
 / Knowledge that the wheat crop in Argentina is at g. critical stage of development gave special emphasis to word of unreasonable cold wealth CT anl bullish sentiment was further increased by. the fact that leading commission houses kept their patrons on the alert for Washington news touching expected measures to help grain/ growers. Regardless of whether some of the proposed plans were considered wise or unwise, the immediate effect in the market here was to restrain speculative selling anu to encourage buying.
 For the most part, price gains that the wheat market scored were held during the late dealings although some reaction was witnessed. Talk of prospective calling of an econom- ic conference to be participated in by the signatories of the Versailles treaty including the United States was construed by some authorities as a bullish factor. On the other hand renewed uncertainty existed in regard to whether United States ves- sels would cooperate in hauling Ca- nadian wheat eastward on the great lakes. Some Canadian wheat was reported as being brought into the United States, duty paid.
 Unfavorble weather and disap- pointing husking returns tended to lift the corn market, and, so too, did sympathy with wheat. Oats showed a little firmness in response to the upturn in other cereals.
 Provisions were quiet and dis played no significant change.

U. s. READY TO JOIN IN FARLEY
(oontlnued From Page one)

ing the questions of the capacity of Germany to make reparation pay ments and an appropriate financial plan for securing such payments"
 Secretary Hughes then emphasized that;
 l. The United States has no desire to see Germany relieved of responsi- bility for the war or of her just ob- ligations.
 2. Such conference should be ad- visory, not binding upon the govern ments, but assuring recommendations by a thoroughly informed and inn partial body.
 3. Germanys capacity to pay is not affected by the allied indebtedness to the United States. War debts are a matter for Congress alone to pass upon, The American people do not favor cancellation, but neither have they any desire to be oppressive or to refuse reast nable terms.
 Hint to European Nations.
 Tt may be added" Secretary | Hughes stated significantly, that the establishment of sound economic conditions in Europe, the serious re- duction of military outlays and the demonstration of a disposition Cf European peoples to work together to achieve the aims of peace and jus tice will not fail to have their proper influence upon American thought and purpose in connection with such adjustments"
 Secretary Hughes reiterated that the plan would be futile without the concurrence of all governments con cerned. As to proceeding without the consent of all parties, Hughes said decision must be reserved.
 Tt may be repeated he concluded, that the government of the United States desires to lend it's assistance in any manner that may be found 1 feasible"

RAIL GROUP OF ST 0'CKS HEAVIER
Increasing Nervousness Seen As Time For Congress To
 Meet NearS
By WALTER D. BROWN

(Leased Wire To The Age-HeraId.l
 NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Stocks con- tinued dull and heavy in the absence of any animating influence.
 Conditions abroad while not exert ing pressure, are sufficiently disturb ing to hold the market in check.
 There have been no severe bear drives in the last few days because there are certain Influences develop ing which seem to be discouraging from that standpoint. These are the inquiries in the market for cars and locomotives which will keep the equipment companies busy for some months to come.
 Judge Gary, MT. schwab, and MT. King of Jones &r Loughlin, speakfng g at the American Steel institute, all expressed them selves as decidedly optimistic a.s to the future state of the steel industry. Judge Gary laid emphasis upon the fact that there are always hindrances to be taken into calculation, chief of which now retarding full industrial and com mercial development Is burden some rate of taxation. Secretary Mellon and leaders in Congress admit that taxes scannot be reduced if a soldiers bonus is to be paid on the scale proposed for that measure. The assumption is that If a bonus is passed taxes will be increased ana the burden upon general business will be greater than ever.
 O O o
 Rail Group Heavier.
 The rail group of stocks were heavier Thursday despite the fact that the September reports ranged from fair to excellent. As the time for the meeting of Congress ap- breaches, there is increasing nervous ness in regard to the attacks that will be made upon the railroads.
 Certain members of Congress are determined to insist on the repeal of Section 15 A of the transportation act in the hope that it will bring about a reduction in freight rates. It is called ''the guarantee clause" but there is nothing in 1t than can be construed as a guarantee, other than that the railroads shall have a square deal. It declares that railroad freight rates must be so based as to yield fair return to the railroads.
 The only effect of repeating this clause would be to have Congress iInply by it's act that the railroads are not entitled to a fair return, but if they do not obtan a far return, on the in ested capital, the service will suffer and the farmers will suffer, as will all who use the railroads. Thus far, the roads have not earned a fair return despite their nroSDertty.

Might Act Without France

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Secretary of State Hughes left the door slightly ajar as to the possibility of this gov ernment joining Great Britain and perhaps Belgium and Italy In tackling the separations problem without the co operation of France.

Hughes said, that the government of the United States must reserve de- clsion as to it's course of action in id6r that the developments in such a contingency may be fully considered in securing the desired end O. re- establishing the essential conditions of European peace and economic res- toration."

 Soon after he was advised that it was on It's way Days went by without any further news of 1t, and the officer grew impatient.
