OUTLOOK IN STEEL
INDUSTRY BRIGHTER
Slight Gain in Ingot Production Is
Noted for Third Successive
Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14.-Trade
expectations for a moderate expansion
in steel activity during the remainder
of the year were encouraged this week
by another slight gain In the rate of
ingot production for the third con-
secutive week
Rejecting accommodating needs, orders
increased for some lines of finished
steel, agricultural implements and
miscellaneous products and further
improvement is expected in speciflca-
tons from the automobile industry for
new models. Buyers generally, how
ever are still cautious and railroads
are said to be delaying purchases until
1892. Ingot production is now esti-
mated at 81 per cent of capacity.
Although some improvement in inquiry
for pig iron developed, the market is
generally quiet and steady.
Copper continued to mark time
pending the outcome of the conference
of world producers. Export demand,
which had been active on expectations
of a curtailment agreement, tapered
off, while domestic buying was re-
stricted at 7 cents for electrolytic de-
livered in the Connecticut Valley. Oc-
tober statistics we're not issued at the
usual time and there is some uncer-
tainty when or whether they will be
published.
Irregular fluctuations in tin within
a narrow range continued to reflect
changes in sterling and the London
market Consumer buying is still said
to be below the recent rate Of con-
sumption.

Decline in Railroad Issues Re.

Elsewhere.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

NEW YORK November 14.-The
stock market experienced another set
back today, but managed to recover a
little in the late trading as better sup
port appeared in the wheat market.
Rails again dragged the list down
and Radio and Keith broke about a
point to new lows, rejecting indications
of a stockholders controversy over the
proposed reorganization OF Radio
Keith.
Net losses in shares ranged from to
4 points in many issues at the finish,
but final prices were generally from
fractions to a point above the lowest OF
the morning The closing tone was
heavy. The turnover for the short ses-
sion was around million shares.
Selling of the rails apparently re-
fiected further discussion of the pros
pect of dividend reductions and fears
that relief from the proposed rate IN
creases and wage reductions would be
deferred. .
Whether the changes in the Inter
state Commerce Commissions condl-
tional rate increase suggested by the
railway executives yesterday will hold
up relief from that quarter remains to
be seen Although the executives have
appointed committee to confer with
LABOR n6duS, llO cal ly uSl1Oi4ANAiO va
wages is generally expected in Wall
Street.
Wall Streets reaction to President
Hoover's suggestion of a system OF
mortgage discount banks was generally
favorable, but it had little influence on
the share market. Johns Manv1lle,
American Radiator, and Sears, Roebuck,
which do large businesses in building
materials, showed little momentary
firmness.
Shares closing about to points
lower included New York Central,
which again penetrated new low ground;
New Haven, Union Pacific Santa Fe,
Norfolk g. Western, American Tele-
phone, du Pont and Coca Cola. United
States Steel lost point net.
The coppers were again an isolated
firm spot. Anaconda, Kennecott and
Cerro de Pasco gained a point or SO.
The trade is now hopeful of an early
international agreement on production.
The week end estimate of operating
schedules in the youngstown steel area
was again encouraging, indicating that
next weeks operations will be around
40 per cent of capacity against 81 this
week.

Material From Pagan Temples.
Much Of the material used in the
construction was requisitioned from
pagan temples throughout the East.
Certain of the columns came from the
sanctuary of Diana at Ephesus; others
were brought from Baelbec in Syria.
The dome of the ediflce is remarkable
for its size and shape. 1t Is lot feet
in diameter.
The exterior of the building is sew
erely plain. but the greatest artists of
the time worked on the decoration OF
the interior. The mosaics, now to be
uncovered, rank among the finest ex-
amples of that form of art extant.
Constructed by Anthemius of Tralles
and IsidoruS Of MiletuS, celebrated
AsiatiC architects, the temple repre-
sents the highest development of the
Byzantine style. Approximately $50
feet long, the structure has a width of
238 feet. The apex Of the dome Is ITS
feet above the floor.
The church became mosque In
1853 when Constantinople was taken
by the Turks. Since the Moslem re-
liglon prohibits the representation of
the human form in art, the decorations
OF the building were covered with paint
and plaster. BY this means the mosaics
have been preserved, and now under
Mr.. Whittemores direction, they are
to be revealede. Students of the history
OF art will follow the enterprise with
enthusiastic interest.
