In conclusion the petitioners state: “We feel that we are justified in asking for the teachers of New Brit- ain that our salaries be increased somewhat in proportion to the higher cost of living and to an extent that will enable us to meet 1 meagerly the expenditures always expected and demanded of us in keeping abreast of the times in knowledge and n- eral equipment for efficient work. We believe that the maximum alary should be high enough to attract and retain capable and efficient women in the teaching profession. “The undersigned, representing the grade teachers of New Rritain, wish to expr their appreciation of the courteous treatment that they have received in the past from the school committee and now respectfully pre- sent this petition to vou with full confidence that it will receive your favorabie consideration.” Te ’ Committee Report.

Osborne, the lawyer, Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says today The November rush of pig-iron buying, and the excitement attending it have given way to a quieter mar- ket. There have been good sales in December, but the rise of northern iron to $30 at eastern and central wes- tern furnaces has had a sobering ef fect on many buyer: Even in ’the face of predictions of kigher pig-iron, some foundry buyers wait to know what the demand for castings will be on the new level of cost. In the steel market the week’s de- velopments point more strongly to sustained high prices, and the inabil- ity of some mlills to meet the demands upon them both in domestic and for- elgn trade 1s more marked. November pig-iron production, as was expected, did not measure up 1o the remarkable rate of October. The total was 8,311,811 tons, or 110,394 tons a day, against 3,508,849 tons in the 31 days of October, or 113,189 tons a day. FHowever, no other month of the year equaled the November rate, in spitc of coke and car trou- bles. It is evident that no early relief of the pig-iron stringency is to come from increased output. Several fur- naces have blown out after long and hard campaigns and others will fol- low. On December 1, furnaces wore in blast with capacity of 108,127 tons a day, against 325 furnaces No- vember 1, producing at the rate of 109,022 tons & day. Another 30,000-ton sale of Besse- mer iron for export and inquiry for 50,000 tons more from the same source indicate a large European de- mand still unsatisfied. At Buffalo up- wards of 20,000 tons of basic was sold to Canada at $30 at furnace and eas ern sales of over 20,000 tons ‘were made at $30. TIn the central west 6,000 tons of basic for the first half of 1917 sold at the same figure. At Pitts- burgh basic and Bessemer irons have been less active. The southern pig-iron situation mixed, with an increasing disinclina tion to sell. Little iron can be had for the first half, and while some produc- ers are holding aloof, sales of No. 2 foundry have been made at from $22 to $25, Birmingham, for various de- liveries in 1917. In northern Ohio southern iron has been offered at $2 to $5 under the new $30 to $31 basis established by local furnaces. By far the larger part of current business in foundry iron is for the cond half of next year. Buyers of castings, who ordinarily place con- tracts in December for six months or a year, are concerned over the pig iron level and see a falling demand for their own products at correspond- ing prices. In steel such fears have not been realized. Rail buying for 1918 is becoming general. Sales in the Chicago district have taken up most of the local rail mill capacity fo the first half of that The St. Paul, the Tllinois Cen- and the have closed in the past week for about 150,000 tons, of which 18,000 tons will he rolled at Ensley and 30,000 tons at Pueblo. The St, Louis Southwestern has bought 13,000 tons and the D. L. & W. 10,000 tons. Both the Erie and the New Ha- ven have made some reservations for 1918. Probably 1,200,000 tons in all has been placed for that delivery. Locomotive orders have been crowding upon works of late. In No- vember the number placed was 586, of which 60 per cent, was for ex- port. Russia has given contracts for about 300, but the large Russian car orders wait. To Dec. 1 nearly 4,000 locomotives had been booked this vear, against 1972 for all of 1915. American plate mills are looked to to take the brunt of the world’s ship- rd work. A Scandinavian inquiry s for a total of 72,000 tons on a B-yr. sliding sale contract. An order just booked is for 12,000 tons for Nor- wegian vessels building at Vancouveér. Foreign business is constantly offered for delivery next year, and mills are asking 5c. and 6c. A new Tacoma shipyard is in the market, New advances in finished products come with each week. Iron bars are up $5 a ton and some Central West- ern mills are withdrawing from the market in view of the high price of scrap. Another advance of $4 has been made in black and galvanized steel and iron pipe, and spikes are 25c. a keg higher. The leading tin- plate producer has fixed its price for 1917 delivery before July 1 at $6.50, which is 50c. above the original contract basis, but independent mak- ers have gone to $7. The production of ferromanganese and spiegeleisen in November wags by far the highest on record at 44,97 tons. The increasing competition in the domestic market is also indicated by a late sale of ferromanganese at $155, delivered in Ohio, It has been estimated steel companies having contracts from the Allies will enter the new year with about 3.000,000 tons of am- munition steel on their books. Near- 1y two-thirds of this Is for delivery in the first six months, SHOWER FOR MRS. BURR. A miscellancous shower at the home of Mrs. D.
