BOX OFFICE Amusements of War., All the places of | amusement in Paris took in 17,000,- 000 francs less in 1915 than in 1914 and about 44,000,000 francs less than | in 1913. The legitimate theaters took in about 8,100,000 francs, which was only 300,000 francs more than the woving picture shows and only a quarter of the receipts of 1913. The situation of the moving pic- ture houses as compared with thea- ters is partly accounted for by the fact that they were open throughout the year but there is also a remark- able growth. In five years, including wo and a half years of war, they have doubled their receipts notwith- anding the fact that the best critics wve persistently maintained that their programs were becoming more medioere every month.

The past week has emphasized the tightening of the situation. Predictions lately made of a les- sened export movement in 1917 are to be taken in the light of larger ex- poctations of an expanding domestic demand which the mills cannot put aside. re has come out concerniny shell steel hought for the Allies for the s¢ ond half. Jur- companies took on large amounts, and the (buyers want much more, which present the mills could not safely agree to deliver. Canada in partleular is now trying to buy such stecl In rails, rolling stock and plates there is a floor of foreign inquiry. In addition to the large rail tonnage itely offered from Ingland, Rus nd France, there are now nesot tions on behalf of many small coun- trics. For Spain 25,000 tons is want- ed; for Cuba and Porto Rico, 3,00% 0 5,000 tons; for a western Buropean state, 20,000 to 40,000 tons; for the Orient, 2,000 tons. Jrance would take 40,000 cars, but 20,600 may be the total purchase, as 100,000 tons of steel Is sought on this account by car works. Thus far about 5.000 of these smaller type cars have been placed. Highly signiticant is the report, though with little detail, that Great Britain Is seeking to buy vessels here. Another item in the new demand from abroad is a large tin-plate tonnage for China, put at more than 400,000 hoxes. Billets at $65 in will more a A- the Central West are a gage of continued scarcity of steel, as Is also a sale of 10,000 tons by a Pennsylvania mill at $62.50 for hipments to Italy. More rails for export have sold at $60. Again the railroad situation at Pittsburgh is reported worse. With the industry now seriously deranged by crippled motive power and lack of cars, the coming on of severe win- ter would be nothing short of calam- ity.
