Spotty Gains Indicate End
Of Summer Steel Slump

NEW YORK, July 28.-Enough
spotty improvement has occurred
to convince the steel trade that
the bottom Of the midsummer re-
cesSion has been reached, accord
ing to the weekly Iron Age sum-
mary. There has been no pro
nounced reversal Of the recent
downward trend in new business,
except in the Chicago district,
where the first influences Of
abundant farm crops at high
prices are more in evidence than
in areas farther east.
The activity in farm equipment
industries is outstanding. Not
only is business from American
farms far above the average, but
there is also a good demand from
abroad for farm machinery, es-
pecially tractor drawn. There is
q broad reflection of the farm
situation in tin plate and cans.
Can makers are shipping out cans
as fast as they can make them,
with indications that they will
need all the tin plate that the
mills can produce to the end Of
the year. The automobile indus.
try is not yet buying heavily for
1893 models, but additional steel
business from that source is ex
pected within a few weeks. In
general the demand for steel.
other than that covered by con,
tract commitments, is light, but

not unusually so for this time of
the year.
Fabricated structural steel let
tings, in small volume for some
weeks, have risen this week to
more than $4,000 tons, includ-
ing 5000 tons for a hospital in
New Orleans and 5000 tons for
the New York Queens tunnel.
New projects of $4,000 tons in
clude 4,70O tons for an inter
national bridge at Port Huron,
Mich, $500 tons for a Federal
building in Kansas City, and
$500 tons for an upper level on
the Henry Hudson bridge, New
York.
Steel production is in a con-
tra-seasonal advance, although
there may be downward adjust
ments before the fall buying
movement gets into full swing.
This weeks rate for the entire
country is estimated at IS per
cent. A good deal of the in
crease is due to the resumption
of work at the Lorain works OF
the National Tube Company,
which was closed . week for va
cations.

D. E. EXCHANGE
MORE ACTIVE
IN JUNE

According to the report Of the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion yesterday, both dollar value
and volume of business on the
Washington Stock Exchange in
creased in June compared with
the same month last year. This
upward trend was noted in the
face Of a general downward trend
on most Of the other security ex-
changes in the country.
The dollar value Of all sales on
the Washington Exchange in
June was 1892 ,095 in comparison
with $145,514 in May, the report
stated. In the stock division alone
the sales value in dollars amounted
to $142,612 against sos, 1915 in May,
while the total number Of shares
changing ownership was 3,104
against 1900 in the previous
month.
In the bond division, the dollar
value was not quite up to May,
sales involving a $4S,483 turnover
against $50,1S9 in the previous
month. The principal amount was
$500, compared with $51, 900,
both months being q little behind
April. The aggregate gain here
contrasts with q sharp summer
drop in business on the Baltimore
and Richmond exchanges.

June Business
Dips; July Up

Business activity in June con-
tinued the downward trend which
has been in evidence since Deem
Der of last year, according to the
regular monthly survey of business
conditions made by the National
Industrial Conference Board.
The decline was traceable
largely to a sharp reduction in
iron and steel output caused by
widespread strikes of several in
dependent steel producers and a
considerably greater-than-Seasonal
decline in the transportation in.
dustry. In the first two weeks OF
July, however, output advanced
appreciably above the June level
and business sentiment was con
Siderably improved as result OF
q check in labor disturbances.
Sharp losses, on a SeaSonally ad
juSted basis, occurred in iron, steel
zinc, and electric-power produc
ton, machine-tool orders and
freight carloadings. These more
than offset increases In automobile
output, construction, bituminous
coal, newsprint production, anc
cotton consumption.
Automobile production, on a sea
Sonally adjusted basis, rose to q
new recovery peak during June
bringing output for the first six
months of this year to approx
mately 80 million units, as com
pared with a total Of 2.6 million
units for the corresponding months
Of 1896. Since the current model
year began on October /, 1896
about Al million units have been
completed, which represents a
gain Of 10 per cent over the cor
responding months Of the 1855
season.
Steel ingot production declined
sharply during June, as strikes
caused a loss Of one million tons
thereby preventing what would
have been an all-time peak in pro
duction for the haf-year period.

Christmas Carol

Christmas is the time when men
are drawn together in a great uni
ty. Much of this may be attributed
to our response to familiar songs,
sung year after year to commem-
crate the advent of a little Child
on earth. The first Christmas car
oil ever heard, we like to believe,
came over the field of Bethlehem,
when Christ was born-"Glory be
to God on high, and on earth, peace,
good will toward men,"
But it was 1900 years later that
st. Francis of Assist and his broth
ers took up the singing in public of
carols at Christmas to combat the
unbelieef about them. With lighted
tapers they went about the streets
of the small Italian village pouring
out their hearts in songs of praise.
In the 800 years since then the sing
ing of Christmas carols has gone
around the world. Wherever Chris
tianity is known carol singing fol-
lows.
The simple vision of a mother
lulling her babe to sleep gives
Christmas music it's strength. Some
sing a tribute to their religious
faith, others ais a custom they en-
joy. But whatever the reason, the
important thing is that more and
more people do it. From such
widely different sources as church.
es, theaters, schools, clubs, radio
stations, come the words of Away
in a Manager" SILENT Night" "Joy
to the World" Little Town of
Bethlehem" clark the Herald An
gels, and "Come All Ye Faithful %
sung by soloists, choirs, choruses
or the voices of school children.
So each year new JOY is expressed
through old channels. Frances
Grinstead

Smith Reynolds
Foundation Will
Aid Syphilis War

Winston-Salem, Dec. 18.-Trus-
tees of the Zachary Smith Reynolds
foundation tonight announced that
the income from the 100000 me-
mortal fund formally established in
1886 will be used exclusively for a
campaign in North Carolina to fight
syphilis.
A check for 100000 has been
presented to the state board of
health by the foundation to be used
in connection with other funds al
lotted for the 1888 venereal disease
program.
State health officers said the en-
tire donation is the largest ever
given in the south for the preven-
ton of disease and the preserva-
ton of health.
Richard J. Reynolds, president of
the foundation, explained that the
board of trustees during the past
several months had studied many
requests and finally decided that
the fund should be used to bolster
a campaign against syphilis.

Significant Rulings Made At
Executive Committee Meeting
Basketball Players To Be Sus-
peaaed Fer Fighting. Fleet
weed Wins.

At special meeting Of members
Of the executive committee Of the
Appalachian High School associa-
ton, held in Boone last Saturday
afternoon for the specific purpose
of considering the protest made by
the West Jefferson high school rela-
tive 70 the recent Fleetwood game,
several significant decisions were
made.
After an extensive discussion OF
the game and the action Of Buddy
Grayson in hitting the referee, the
committee unanimously voted not
to allow the protest, thereby up
holding the referee and awarding
the game to Fleetwood, as the anal
Sc0r0 stood.
The other members Of the COM
mittes highly commended Coach
Paul Perkins and Principal b. B.
Duncan for suspending Grayson UNI
til the first Of the year for hitting
the referee and in connection with
lighting on the part of any player
In the association, the following
rulings were made:
First, any player who participates
in a fight with anyone during q
game will automatically be sus-
pended from the team for a period
OF 30 days; second, for a second Of
tense, the player will be suspend
ed for the entire season.
In order to avoid fights at the
games on the part Of spectators, the
committee recommended that a
peace officer be present at all games
possible.
In regard to forfeited games the
ruling was that games can be post
poned only for two reasons: first.
sudden emergencies and second.
mutual agreement made three DAYS
before date of scheduled games.

Many local people are still doubt

Roy Badger, who has been in the

asserted this week that he had en-

but never found it necessary to cut
both sides Of the neck, under the

N. & W. Railway
Celebrate Tooth

The New Year holds a unique
significance for the Norfolk and
Western Family and the Norfolk
and Western Railway, for in 1888
the railroad will celebrate its Tooth
birthday.
The announcement of the centen-
NAL celebration, which will be OBJ
served throughout the next year,
was made by w. J. jerks, presi-
dent of the railroad, in letter to
the Norfolk and Western Family,
which is published in the Decem-
Der Is issue of the employees mag

The first unit of what is now the
Norfolk and Western Railway, was
the City Point Railroad, primitive
little ten-mile line, running be-
tween City Point (now HopewelD,
Va, and Petersburg. It was opened
for traffic on September Z, 1888.
