Loree, who is working on a plan for the merger of the Kansas City South- ern, St. Louis Southwestern Missouri-Kansas-Texas Raiiroads, ye terday was named chafrman of the board of directors and chairman of the executive committee of the “Ktay" system, to succeed C. E. Schaff, who retired as president after 64 years of railroad service. Because of the criticism leveled at 0. P. Van Sweringen in the Interstate Commerce Commission's decision re- Jecting the “Nickel Plate” merger for retaining executive control of the principal units in the consolidation, it was believed in some Wall Street quarters that Harry S. Black, who was recently elected to the board as one of the Loree representatives, would be named as chairman. Plans for bringing the three roads into closer unification are expected to be announced shortly after the return of Mr. Loree from California, around the end of the month. B — GALLOWAY RE-ELECTED.

DETROIT.—Michigan farmers are recelving from $3.25 to $4.50 a bushel for potatoes on the open market.

The importance o of orders has been materially Hand-to-Mouth Buying mes called “hand-to. become not compan is somet buying but - in The steel on a back log closer to corsumption with and more frequent orders coming each day. For a time this produc a certain amount of anxiety until the producers found they could on disposing of about the same mount of goods under the old system, by which specifications fre. quently were held up even on orders previously placed. The motor truck has also been a factor. For example, Cleveland pro- duces a large quantity of steel prod ucts used in automobile manufacture. A consumer in Detroit can telephone Cleveland and have a shipment de livered to his plant the next mornir Hundreds of truck trains, consisting of a tractor truck and three trailers, are running from steel centers to con suming center: In the steel and iron indus carriers and consumers have adjusted thefr individual methods to this trend so_smoothly and gradually that_the public scarcely realizes what has been accomplished. Production Is Higher. For the industry as a_whole, duction in the last month amounted to 2.8 per cent more than in the c responding period of 1924, the pre ous high mark, and mill executives, independents as well as those of the leading interests, expect this close buying to continue to the end of the present quarter. The mills in the Pittsburgh district are running at 85 per cent of capacity and other centers are approximating this rate. Steel mills were timid about making predictions in March. At times they were on the verge of cur- tailing production, but a new flood of medium sized orders would come in and make this unnecessary. Now they have more confidence in the continua- tion of this kind of buying. There has been a-slight increase in the output of automobile steel in the last week. PNEUMATIC TOOL PROFIT.
