BUYING IN PIG IRON.
Lively Trade Revival of Special
Features of Past Week.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November 24.-An i'm
portant development of the week has
been the buying Of pig iron, which ia
being characterized as feverish
Price boosts have resulted, some pro-
ducers lifting their figures from 5O
cents to dollar a ton. 1t remains
to be seen whether the price raisine
will be permanent. Buying of steel
however, has not shown the same &C,
tivity. But among stock traders
there Is now a decided air OF confl.
dence in steel shares. The promise of
the railroads to order $4,000 new cars
within few months has stimulated
confidence.

mentS has been the renewed activity

Most factories which have not closed are working only part time, and the wages have not kept pace with the decline in the mark and the increase in the price Of fuel and foodstutfs. Tho unemployment dolcs are insuffi- cient to supply even bread to the average family. Food riots are an everyday occurrence in most popu- lous centers.
 Mothers Hard Hit.
 The average German mother real izes as she never realized before that Germany lost the war. Tho despair written on the faces Of women in inc markets when they inquire the prices of meat and potatoes and find their billions of marks will not buy single meal for their children is tragic demonstration of that realization.
 Ruralitcs Earc Better
 Rural Germany fares better than tho cities and larger towns. The peasants have good crops. and they have little sympathy with the food. rioting in the cities. That spells Boi- shoyism to them. If they go to cities with their produce they fear they will be attacked by the food rioters and robbed of their produce.
 some Have Milk.
 Milk and butter and meat are still obtainablc in the smaller towns and country and tho gentry is relatively not badly situated for the moment. But their time is coming when gold taxes must be levied and collected. as they must be to meet Germany's obli- gations. When all realty begins t0 bear the burden to pay Germany's obligations rents must be advanced to a point which will drive home tho sting Of defeat.
 Pretty Hard Lot.
 Foreigners who come to Germany with the impression that Germans are having q comparatively easy time and are escaping tho consequences of the war soon realize that the average mans lot in Germany is pretty hard. And the average woman's lot is harder. Keeping a family fed and clothed is maddeping problem in these days or shrunken incomes and prices.
 Shabbiness and want are in such | general evidence that the fcw tourists who invade Germany do not stay long. | It is poor place for pleasure | seeker.

 Let's hope that the Hartford and New Britain high school athletic au- thorities did not make grave mis- take by not having their game yester- day, as first scheduled.
 It would have been a wonderful day for the game and a crowd such as never before has seen a high school contest would have been present.
 Which would have been good for the teams, good for the sport and good for the gate.
