The great work of democracy does not depend upon commercial enter- prise declared the speaker, but rather upon the development of the race and that is the work entrusted to the mothers. Your time for influencing your children is very short and has to a large extent passed when they have reached the age of ten said Mr. Moore. After that the influence of the school, their playmates and other outside causes will be stronger than your influence. Tonight’s Program.

TEEL MARKET IS HEAVILY OVERSOLD New Buying Falls OT as Sellers Are Not Encouraging The Iron Age says today: The oversold condition of leading steel producers and the tightening of the steel market so far as concerns deliveries this year are more plainly indicated by the developments of the past week. Leaving out rail new buying has fallen off, but mainly be- cause of the definite efforts of llers to repress demand. particularly in bars, billets, plates and shapes. Europe eking round lots of war steel for this year, and the situation has now gone beyond the point of fencing over the price; few large makers are in position to consider at all. New capacity is under construc- tion, but i xpected output has heer sold, perhaps in some cases more than once. The Duluth plant of the Steel corporation is sold to the end of the year, New capacity in the central west is also well pre-empted. Scarcity of Steel. ithout regard to the demand for finished product the sit- still one of a sca of steel and indication are that some months will be deter- mined accordingly. In general, the attitude of sellers both toward do- mestic and foreign buyers is that of letting the demand fix the price, and the weck has brought a new crop of advances. With rerolling billets at about two cents per pound, steel rounds for shells are rather dis- posed to ask four cents than 3.50 cents. But considerable amounts of steel are involved in options at lower prices, which certain domestic makers of shells can exercise before July 1 The rail advance of $5 has been se- cured on 9,000 tons sold by one mill. Some railroads scaled up their re- quirements beyond the average of re- cent years in trving to cover at the old price, with the result that offers of 200,000 tons were declined by Chi- cago mills and of 100,000 tons by the mill at Pueblo. estimated that 800,000 tons of s for next year has been booked in the past six weeks. Latest contracts include 24,000 tons additional for the Southern Railway, 20,000 tons for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, 20,000 tons for the Burlington in addition 0 a large lot placed in Colorado, 000 { tons each for the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Reading, 5,000 tons each for the Seaboard Air Line and the Chicago Great Western, 8,000 tons for the Vir: ginian railw: The Stele corpo tion’s mail orders for the week were 110,000 tons and 35,000 tons wa placed by frog and switch works for delivery this year. Other Advances. Wi particular uation i stee | prices for $45, or sellers of Bolts and nuts and rivets are the leaders in the week’s advances. In cutting off 10 per cent. from bolt dis- counts actual advances have been from 15 to 25 per cent. on former prices. Implement makers’ contracts are pending and autemobile demand has been unprecedented. Rivets are up $10 a ton. Shafting has advanced $5. 1Iron an dsteel pipe is $4 higher and on some sizes the advance reaches $12. . The long-projected $2 advance in wire products may turn out to be $4; at all events, a new level is looked for early in Ma Western car works are operating at 50 to 75 per cent. of cay buying falls off as prices rise. . Today railroads are asked 100 per cent. ad- vance over the low price of last year. There is no sign of ¢ plate pric Contract plates for ond half have been placed at cents. Two eastern mills now four cents. Shipyard work is piling up. Seven vessels were placed last week, requiring 20,000 to 25,000 tons of steel, three for Norwegian owners. With no further rise in prices pig iron has shown good activity in spots. A radiator interest has bought upward of 50,000 tons, chiefly at Buffalo. St. Louis transactions include 50,000 tons of southern basic, and eastern malle- able interests have taken 20,000 tons, while a steel works contract for hot metal represents 25,000 tons. An east- ern steel company which ordinarily sells basic iron has been a buver. Iie- ports of the inquiry for Bessemer iron from France have been exaggerated. About 60,000 tons i wanted, dis- tributed over the year On portions of this and of 40,000 tons for Italy bids of $22 to $24 at Valley furnace have been made. A Pittsburgh buyer has taken 20,000 tons of Bessemer at §21 at Valley furnace.
