Only an internal rem- edy can remove tho cause--that's why salves, suppositories and cut ting fail.

RISING TREND SEEN
IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Slight Loss Over Labor Day
Shutdown Should Be
Quickly Recouped.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September s-Tne
iron and steel industry moved into tits
Labor day period with a decline of only
l point in the steel-making rate,
slightly more substantial backing for
the recent improvement in sentiment
and a further wide advance in scrap
prices, the magazine Steel said today.
Pointing out that Labor day has been
generally appraised as a springboard
for Fall recovery, the magazine in its
weekly trade review said inquiry was
broader and bookings were somewhat
heavier in most districts last week, an
encouraging phase being their diffusion.
Many consumers indicate they con-
template buying for stock shortly and
for the first time in months mills
visualize the accumulation of back
logs.
Rail Buying Pressed.
Various efforts to stimulate railroad
buying, notably financing by supply in
terests, are expected to yield orders.
Leading manufacturers of automobiles
are pricing fourth quarter steel and
after September Is the movement OF
material to Detroit for fabrication In
October will expand.
"Over the iron and steel industry
hangs an atmosphere Of expectancy.
Recent generalizations by important
executives that improved business ap-
proaches are accepted as surface 1ndi-
cations of quiet negotiations for sub
stantial needs.
"The possibility is strong steel pro-
duction in the week ended September
10. which includes Labor day. may de-
velop q slight gain over the 1914 per
cent rate of the week ended Septem-
Der 3.
Enough capacity is scheduled fer
lighting at youngstown September 8
to put the steel rate there up from l3
per cent to 90 At Cleveland the restor-
alton of open hearths, cold since July 4,
indicates a rise from 1412 per cent to
Is. Whatever slight loss occurs in
ether districts from the Monday shut
down should be speedily recouped.
Improved Demand Felt.
1.-THE strain of improved demand
runs through all districts. In the
South, miscellaneous requirements for
wire and other products from agricul-
tural areas are reported increasing.
Both Pittsburgh and Chicago note
| modest expansion In small orders Tor
bars. Shipments of Chicago wire mills
were larger in August than IN July.
Steel's iron and steel composite Is
I'D 8 cents to $29.32, the first advance
since March. The steel composite
gained 19 cents to $47.50. The scrap
composite is up AZ cents to $685., the
highest since May 16.

FLORIDA WILL SHIP
CITRUS CROP SOON
Higher Quality Of Fruit
Expected TO Return
Big Profits
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 5.
-Florida's golden harvest OF Winter
citrus has weathered tropical hurri-
cane with negligible damage. and will
begin moving North shortly TO return
a stream OF gold into the pockets OF
growers.
Although crop somewhat less in
quantity than that Of last year is fore
cast, 1892 oranges and grapefruit prom
ise to be Of far better quality than
those of 1881. and high hopes are
held by State marketing bodies for .
rich return.
Improvement in quality Is assured,
says Nathan Mayo. State commissioner
OF agriculture, by the rigid enforce
ment Of the green fruit law, which
prohibits movement of immature prod
ucts OF fruit prematurely ripened by
use Of chemicals
Watch for Green Fruit.
Already corps Of $50 inspectors has
taken posts in the fruit belt to watch
over lanes to the outside world to pre-
vent violation of the green fruit law.
Between 1000 and 5000 men will be
put to work Immediately in addition
to the regular employees Of growers,
packing houses and canning factories,
to care for the extra grove work, mar
ket bureau officials estimate.
Railroads, steamship lines and truck
ing companies have begun their annual
preparation for transportation of the
crop to markets. Railroads are placing
refrigerator cars at strategic places,
ready to move on short notice.
Commissioner Mayo, however does
not anticipate heavy shipments in Sep
tember, for climatic conditions last
Spring caused late blooms
The State marketing bureaus latest
condition report on the crop said 1t
likely would be about 7 per cent under
last years production.
Valued at $37,297,209.
A preliminary report of the market
ing bureau gives some idea about what
the citrus crop was worth last season
Figures in the report are subject to
change, and the revision will probably
be upward, officials pointed out.
Total carlot volume, or equivalent
last year was 63,8o2, valued at s37,-
297,209. These figures are for citrus
fruit alone and do not take into con-
sideration the berry, vegetable, melon
and other fruit crops.
