Endeavour II in Second
Race With Ranger.

n NEWPORT, R. l., August q
After trouncing Endeavour II,
T. o. M. Sopwith's second
British challenger, in their
initial engagement for the America S
Cup, Harold S. Vanderbilt's Ranger
ruled an overwhelming favorite to re-
peat that performance today.
Along the water front many were
ready to wager the Vanderbilt sloop
would thwart with four straight VIC
tories the British Empires sixteenth
attempt to recover the trophy, but in
most cases they were unable to place
their bets. The international sailing
duel will be decided upon a basis of
the best four out Of seven races.
Race officials charted 30-mile tri-
angular course for today, which should
test the two big sloops on a greater
number of sailing points than the 30
mile WindWard- -leeWard course of Sat-

deavour II by more than II minutes.

FOREIGN ORDERS
SPURSTEEL TRADE
Heavy Buying Is Expected
to Be Major Factor in
Sustaining Activity.

NEW YORK, October 5.-Amer-
ican steel mills are receiving an in
creasing number of orders and inquiries
from England and the continent, which
may prove OF considerable help in
bolstering operations In the fourth
quarter.
Some OF these orders are marked
urgent" for October delivery, but
the bulk are for November and
December. with inquiries extending
into the first quarter of 1898.
With the reluctance of steel COM
panies to discuss their export trade,
no approximate totals of these new
orders are available, but one Official
described them as unusually large"
A foreign order for $4,000 tons is not
unusual at present, and those Of
10000 tons are frequent.
Pig iron and billets, principally the
latter. are in heaviest demand from
abroad.
Increase in orders for export has
developed in the last few weeks and
virtually every day has brought new
inquiries. With operations last week
at 74.4 per cent of capacity, and esti-
mated at 66.1 for this week by the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
the export price has dropped from
the 1st Of August when domestic
mills were operating at the Summer
peak of around IS per cent. However,
the export price is still holding its
average level above the domestic
price.
Steel circles expect the export mar
ket to continue unusually active for
several months. Virtually all the
recent export orders have come from
European Offices of American steel
companies, and have no connection
with the recent visit to this country
Of /. F. L. Elliott, director Of the Brit
ish Iron and Steel Federation.
All orders placed by Elliott in this
country were for scrap. destined for

WHOLESALE INDEX
DROPS FURTHER
Fertilizer Associations Finds
Average at 86, Against
87.1 Week Ago.

Another decline was registered last
week by the wholesale commodity
price index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association. taking it to ap-
proximately the level reached follow
ing the July-August downturn. Based
on the 1926-1928 average as 100 this
index in the week ended October 2
stood at $50, compared with 87.1 in
the preceding week, $50 month ago,
and 80.l year ago.
Foods, farm products, textiles and
metals moved lower during the week,
with changes in the other commodity
groups being negligible. Lower prices
for meats and dairy products were
largely responsible for the downturn
In the food price average.
Cotton and grain prices continued
their adjustment to the new crop basis
and this. combined with lower quota
tions for livestock, resulted in mod
crate recession in the farm product
price index.
The index of textile prices con-
tinued the uninterrupted decline
which began last July, with cotton
goods. cotton, wool, silk, and coarse
fibers all moving downward during the
week.
Lower quotations for steel scrap and
non-ferrous metals took the metal
price average to the lowest point
reached since last March.
The index representing the prices
OF miscellaneous commodities was also
at the lowest level reported since last
Spring as the result of declining prices
for crude rubber and cattle feed. The
only group average to advance during
the week was that representing the
prices Of fertilizer materials.
