The operation of mills is more satisfactory under September conditions and some headway agalnst accumulated orders should be made In the next six weeks. The outstanding fact in the present congestion is the small impression | made upon it by the year's additions | to steel-making capacity. A canvass shows that about 2,700,000 tons of in- gots a year Is represented in new open-hearth furnaces started up since ! n 1. and about 509,000 tons more will be in operation beforc the close of the year. This Is an 8 per cent. increase on the 400,000,000-ton rate | of steel production at the beginning of 1916, or less than the normal gain. There is little promise of any pro- nounced change in the reldtion of sup- | ply and demand from new capacity | before the middle of next year, it | then, | New contracting for steel to be de- | livered in the first half of 1917 is not | noteworthy, yet a good many con- aliowed to discharge a portion of theil | sumers have not covered for that pe- riod. In the case of plates a good deal of business for the third quarter of next year is already booked, and plate inquiry is unending. Just now 75,000 tons is before eastern mills, in the effort of individual users to preempt a place on the books in view of the heavy demands the government will make with its navy program. A Maine shipyard is in the market for 10,000 tons and Japan, with all her buying of ship steel, still wants 6,100 tons, In the export market the shipping of greatly needed material is getting precedence over new buying. But Russia has just bought 13,000 tons more of barb wire for shipment this vear and on 7,500 of tks Russian cars that have been under inquiry for months there is some better chance of early action, Tn rolled steel, prices hold all the strength that has developed from the situation as to semi-finished material. ‘While plates for forward delivery can be had at 3¢, from 4c to 4.5c is done on prompt material; hut universal plates for early delivery are available at $5 to $10 a ton less than sheared plates.

FINANCIAL NEWS MARKET REACTION NOT PERMANENT Prices Are Steady and Show Same Desire to Climb Wall Street—There were no signs at today's opening of the reactionary tendencies which proved so effective in the final haur of yesterday's re- markable sesston. Gains of 1 to 2 points were registered by the leading specialties, including industrials, equpments, shipping shares, coppers and Mexicans. Uniteq States Steel was the only stock to record a wide open- ing, its first sale comprising two wlocks af 1,200 and 3,000 shares at a fractional advance. Rails, notably Reading, Union Pacific and New York Central, also improved substantially. General Motors, Studebaker, Indus- trial Alcohol and International Paper were under slight pressure. Prices were inclined to sag after the opening, but a spirited advance in 1ails, with Union Pacific selling at its best price since the war, righted the list except in a few unimportant in- stances. Driggs-Seabury led the mu- nitions at a gain of 8 points to 100. Steel bounded forward later, dupli- cating its high record af 107, but fail- ing back at midday with other lead- ers on renewed realizing. Bonds steady.
