NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Amer
ican Iron & Steel Institute esti-
mated today operations In the steel
industry for the current week will
advance ! point to 93.5 per cent of
capacity, highest since the institute
began its compilation In 1888. This
compared with 92.5 per cent last
week.
A month ago operations were at
9O.3 per cent of capacity, while q
year ago they were 626 per cent.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-Pressure
on steel mills for immediate de-
livery has caused some to revise
their schedules although production
in general steadied today at 90 per
cent of capacity.
There Is less action in forward
orders, the magazine Steel said to-
day, although previous expectations
OF higher prices next year have been
modified considerably.
Higher cost of zinc and tin, how
ever, leads to expectation of price
advances on tin plate and galva-
nized products.
The fact that mills already have
fairly large orders for early 1910
delivery indicated no marked let
down in operations. Part of the
recent large railroad bookings will
not be rolled until next quarter due
TO other more urgent needs.
Pig iron production holds near a
record rate, with several more fur
naces scheduled to go in blast this
month. Steelmaking was curtailed
In five districts last week, however,
as open hearths were withdrawn for
repairs.
Export markets are fairly active
and shipbuilding accounts for large
orders. Restrictions of automobile
operations have had little effect.
Farm equipment builders are more
active. Tin plate production is
steady at 95 per cent.
The scrap price composite de-
cllned SO cents to $2O.33.

sentative Randolph of the House
District Committee and Senator
King of the Senate body, the coun-
Gil will ask that funds allocated in

struction be held up until thor
ough investigation is made and that
hearings be granted Southeast rep
resentatives as soon as possible. "

sulting the Southeast section Of the

more than 20 would be maintained
on the premises at one time. Earlier
in the meeting citizens called espe-
cial objection to the wharf as q

voiced the fear that the structure

use of trucks to carry prison manu-

spite the contention that transpor-
tation cost would increase 13 per
cent over that of waterway naviga-
tiop."
Declaring the wharf would be a
"sore spot" to the Southeast section,
Charles c. .Gillikin, delegate from
Lincoln Park, said "such criminalin-

of the community" and pointed out
that public schools are situated in
the near vicinity of the planned site.

"Made In America" Should Count !

President Roosevelts statement that Argentina
beef is superior to American beef has brought pro-
test from American beef producers and it is prob
able that the remark will not bode we'll for the
Democrats in 1910
In asking for the American market for the
American farmer" the United States navy is not
exempted, and purchase of foreign grown products
the expense of those who pay large part of the
bill for national protection is to way of thinking
a "boner'.
We brag about standard of living, a require
ment that necesstates higher prices for goods and
labor, yet willing to tear down that heritage by
purchasing foreign products said to be government
subsidized in preference to American pro-
ducts.
News reports state that President Roosevelt dis
closed Friday that he had directed the to accept
a proposal from the Argentina meat cooperative to
pound, exclusive of duty The beef, he said, was
superior to domestic canned beef at % cents.
1t is hard for residents of the agricultural COM
munities to reconcile themselves to this preferment
for foreign goods, and some of wonder if agri-
culturiSts not the victims of the loudly touted
good neighbor policy. Most rural people have a
different conception of neighborliness and they real
ize that hand must wash the other successful
existence
Our American sea-going sailor-warriors should
have American meats and butter, we'll as Ameri-
can made bullets and ships. Made in America"
should be the recommendation for purchase for all
good Americans and not goods made in foreign lands
by Americans who operate in countries where lower
labor costs and cheaper markets prevail Maintain
the American Standard of Living" is not joke or a
campaign promise but necessity for which every
American should strive, regardless of higher costs.

article is particularly interesting
in that it sets forth the results

If the stand for a valuation re-

prised to see general cut in all
Minneapolis realty assessment val

per cent in 1910. If that can be
done in Minneapolis, is it possible
to do the same in Sank Centre, OF
to make any cut at all? To my
mind, the answer lies in a survey
for Sank Centre along the same
general lines which the Realty
Board followed for Minneapolis. In
that way only can we establish q
reasonable base for a reduction.
