It was de- cided that such a trip would entail a cold sea voyage of at least two days hefore the ship could get into pleas- ant weather south. The officers and crew of the vacht, who had been re- fused shore leave for Christmas time, now have been given liberty. Ouly Immediate Family. Probably no one outside the imme- diate members of the wedding party | knows much about any of the ar- rangements or the bride's trousseau or | the gifts she has received. No formal announcement of the latter is ex- pected,, but something about them may be made known informally after the wedding. It is known that while there has been no organized sending of gifts by congress, government offi- cials of the diplomatic corps, in- »dividuals in all the sets in the capi have sent presents. Many of them | ¢ said to be rare and beautiful. "The presents have come not only from official and personal friends of the president and Mrs. Galt, but also from persons unknown to either of them in this country and abroad. Many have come from children. The list of guests has not been en- rged and, as was at first planned, will include only the immediate rela- ves of the president and Mrs. Gailt. far as is known the invitations ave not gone far enough outside the | family circle to include ‘the president’s close and intimate friend, Col. B. M. | Jiouse of New York. It is said alsb Lhat the president will be unattended By a best man, VILLA FORCES LOOT MERICAN RANCH W. A. M.

Yet in November, when a similar condition prevailed, actual bookings were enor- mous, as the Steel corporation’s in- crease of over 1,000,000 tons in un- filled orders is ful! proof. Some inde- pendent cmpanies also booked nearly as the latter were readjusted after the pbut others kept their new contracts down. 1t is known that some sales for the deal at 1.70c to 1.80c for heavier finished materials, but they are not now on the books is really third quar- ter business, since the mills cannot deliver it earlier. Scarcity of Coke. The outcome of the railroad con- gestion, particularly in the east, is a matter of no small concern. Aggra- vated in some districts by heavy snow fall it has resulted in a scarcity of coke and some blast furnaces have paid $2.75 and higher for prompt coke 28 against $2.10 a week ago. Iron ore, pig iron and finished ma- terials have been active in the past week in the order named. Sales of Lake Superior ores have been very heavy at 75c advance over 1915 prices Minnesota freight rate reduction of five cents. Oldrange Bessemer is thus $4.50 and non-Bessemer $3.75, while Mesaba ores are $4.20 for Bessemer and $3.55 for non-Bessemer. It is be- lieved practically all the merchant ore that can be shipped will be sold by the end of the month. More Boats Bought. Lake ore producers are exercised over the supply of mining labor and this question is now of equal moment with that of vessel room and _rates. More boats have been bought by ore shippers to make sure of getting down their ore, nearly a score being thus taken up. Large sales of Port Henry, N. Y ores have been made for 1916 delivery at an advance of about 75c over this year's schedule, making the range 8 1<4c to 9c a unit, delivered in eastern Pennsylvania, according to the grade of ore and the freight rate. Lump ore for open-hearth and puddling furnaces has sold at $4 at Port Henry Over 1,000,000 tons o stern ores have been sold in the t few days. Pig Iron Climbing. Pig iron has been making up lately for the months when it while steel was climbing. in foundry operati is shown ood buyin particularly in the and in the lake districts, for early delivery.
