Hard of Philadelphia leaped or fell 1 a window on the sixth floor of a h tel here today n.ml was lpmtly year progresses is perhaps the Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: Pig iron continues to hold the spot light. The spurt which thé car con- gestion gave to prompt delivery buy- ing two and-three weeks ago was ac- eentuated in the past week by still higher, and ‘more widely djvergent prlmw Dependent largely on the present unusual situation, prices are sooner or later expected to come more nearly in line with contract levels. Interference with contract shipments has affected steel-making as well as foundry iron. ‘With every day that much nearer the, final removal of the snow bar- rier and with the improvement noted in car movements, industry is again looking forward, although rail ship- ping questions are still the greagest concern. Destruction of shipping by submarines has not yet been a factor. That stocks at seacoast terminals may ultimately check operations at mills is regarded as so remote as not yet to warrant comsideration. What is noteworthy in the inten- national situation is an inflow of in- quiries which shows no diminution. Coupled with a heavy domestic d mand and generally low stocks in the plants of consumers, some strength is given to the talk of still higher prices for finished steel. Buying for the government's pre-. paredness needs goes on slowly, wait- ing largely the disposition’ of the appropriation bills now before con- grees. It is practically established that ' the. Midvale Steel & Ordnance company will providp facilities for making 16-inch navy guns, and prob- ably $2,000,000 will be expended for the additional equipment. Some fresh sidelights on the do- mestic situation may be briefly sum- marized: Numbers of blast furnaces have sold their entire ouytput into Oc- tober. Pig-iron contracts are report- ed, covering shipments exténding into the first half of 1918. It appears that some 250,000 tons of steel bars for the agricultural implement mariufac- ‘turers have been closed for the last half. Fully 300,000 tons of plates, it is estimated, could be $old on do- mestic account for delivery through 1918. Fair-sized lots of boiler tubes for use a few months hence have sold at 20 per. cent. above going prices, which represent- themselves unusual- 1y high profits. Good-sized quantities of wire and wire nails have been sold at $3 per ton above preésemt general levels, and an advance of at least this amount is expected before the end of the week. Steel bau% for delivery in a few months ase difficult to get at less than 3.50c., Pittsburgh basis; struc- tural material is also somewhat stronger and there is talk of even higher prices for ordihary tank plates than 5c, per lb. Thé notable devel- opment of the Westinghouse interests at Essington, Pa., calls for the largest list of machine mou wve‘flns in vsteel shows = some signs of easing. Pflce\a for prompt shipment billets are well sustained, but the additional steel-making ca- pacity coming into operations as the oc- casion for the ecxpectation of a re- vision on deferred delivery purchases. The canning trade is cutting down its contracts for the last half, partly, it is stated, because tin plate is so high, but the tin-plate demand makes this no factor. For export, 15,000 tons of shell steel billets has been sold by one mill for delivery after June at no less than 5 cents per pound. A leading open-hearth interest, in addition to 200,000 tons now under contract, has taken 75,000 tons for the last quarter, as has another steel producer, these billets, it is understood, going for $85 at the mill. Besides 150,000 base boxes of tin plate for Italy, fully that much is wanted by China. Of the Russian barb wire inquiry, which has not yet been wholly closed, 30,000 tons is desired as soon as. possible, while 75,000 tons will' be taken in the latter part of the year. Another pig- iron inquiry has come from Italy, for 30,000 tons for March-June delivery. “A price of 6 cents for six mionths shipment extending through the first quarter{of 1918 has been accepted in the sale of 25,000 tons of ship plates by one mill in the last two weeks. Japan has bought 13,000 tons from an Eastern mill at siightly under 6 cents for the first half of 1918 and nego- tiations are under way for 10,000 tons at 6 cents.for the second quar- ter of next year. Japan’s present un- satisfied -inquiries amount to some 50,000 tons. In addition to the five 15,000-ton boats placed with ‘the Bethlehem Steel company by the Cun- ard line, three 7,600-ton freighters are to be built for the same owners at a Tacoma yard. 5 s N t SUMMER COTTAGES BURN. Madison Beach Buildings Lost Under Suspicious Olrcumstances. Madison, March 1.—Two fires of unknown origin at Madison Beach be- fore daybreak today, destroyed two summer residences—those of Thomas A. Humason of New York city and Herbert L. Baker of Mount Vernon. These cottages are just west of the Madison Beach hotel which was on fire a week ago. Tne loss on both will probably be close to $15,000 as not only were they substantial structures but were very well furnished and practically nothing was saved. People who livé at the beach and were out of doors about 4 o’clock saw no signs of fire but a half hour later a woman did see a blaze in one cot- tage and called up the hose company for assistance. Two garages in the rear of the cottages were saved and a roof fire on the hofise of Mr. Reynal of Clinton was extinguished.’ ‘William H.

PRICES $11.98 to $335.00 Financial WAR STOCKS YIELD IN HEAVY MARKET Disclosures on International Sita- ation Cause Prices to Sag -Wall Street.—The heavy tone of to- day's early market resulted from fur- ther selling induced by, overnight dis- closures bearing. upon international crisis. Shipping and "Mexicans were | down 1 to 2 points, with continued heaviness in the various equipments and specialties comprising the war stocks. United States Steel and the Bethlehem steel issues yielded a point or more, with Central Leather, Gen- eral Motors and Industrial Alcohol. The moverhent spread to rails, Read- ing, New York Central, St. Paul and Missouri ‘Pacific dealing pressure. On very moderate offerings, éxcept 'United States Steel the market contin- ued to sag at the leaders as well as specuatives issues exfending initial losses. Extreme decline of 1 1-4 points was caused by reverse in steels, shipping and some of the high priced specialties and utilities. Local trad- ers held off pending more definite de- velopments in the international situa- tion, Bonds were Leavy. Liquidation ceased. for a time in the early afternoon and prominent indus- trials rallied a point or more. The improvement proved to be only tem- porary, however, United States Steel and .other leaders falling back again on comparatively light selling.
