In those days Washington was very
malarious. Vast hordes of malaria
carrying mosquitoes maintained head

marshes where East Potomac Park

now stands. During the summer sea-

directly back to the Mount Pleasant
hills, SO that what is now one Of
the best residential sections of Wash

The people even refrained from rails

poisons would gain access to their

STEEL TRADEI HESITANT
Industry Affected by Election
Trend of Quotations Is Down.

By United Press
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27.-The
steel trade, in common with most
other branches of business, is at
fected by the coming elections,
which cause hesitation. Encourage
ment is given by the further pur-
chasing of railroad equipment, but
most buyers are holding off as far
as possible for the present, and the
rate of mill operations has changed
but little. Generally, the industry
is running at about 60 per cent of
capacity, which closely apprOximates
the average for September.
Besides political factors, price ad-
justments have tended to hold de-
mand in check, She trend Of quota
tons being in a downward direc-
ton. An early breaking Of the
present lull, however, is expected by
some producers. particularly as con-
sumers' stocks are relatively small
