Consumers are acting on the more efinite signs that with the war pro- lcnged through 1917 the steel works of the country will continue to have to choose between buyers. A signifi- ant case is the buying of 230 loco- motives by the New York Central, Deliveries are not wanted before tho last quarter of 1917. Locomotive vorks could build them earlier, but the railroad looked rather to the steel situation and ta the Jarge im- pending foreign orders.

In that district new business keeps pace Wwith output, even with 1he increase due to cooler weather. Scarcity in wire and tin plate is in- dicated, both having been sold in a large way for export. Woven wire fence has been advanced about $2.50 per ton. Tin plate mills have made large sales far the first half of 1917, and will have a large carry-over from this year. Contracts are made with the price to be fixed later, probably $5.50 per box. The Pearson oil interests are in the market for 100 miles of 6 inch line pipe.

Specialties of various descriptions, in- ‘cluding equipments and munitions also made material recoveries from yesterday's final quotations, while rails were more moderately respon- sive. United States Steel scored a slight gain at the outset, but this was soon forfeited under the weight of extensive offerings. General Motors, on a sale of 100 shares, was down 45 points at 700, and Baldwin Locomotive and Crucible Steel became suddenly weak. Strenuous efforts were made by the short interests in the first hour to fol- low up yesterday’s advantage. Selling concentrated upon certain of the bet- ter known specialties, including mo- tors, equipments and some of the war issues, which declined 1 to 4 points.
