At first it was not thought the in- Juries of Mrs. Viets would be such as to prevent recovery. Later it was found that the injuries were more serious than at first thought and her condition grew worse until this after- noon, when it is regarded as critical. Besides general shock, lacerations-and abrasions she is suffering from serious concussion of the brain and a bad fracture of the right ‘leg just below the knee. : Mrs. Tryon’s condition s even worse. In addition to general shock with abrasions and lacerations, she has a fracture of the base of the skull and it is feared that she has internal _and a_ fractured ot badly automobiie, when struck, wa# dragged dlong’ for‘a few feet and then tosse§ to ope side.

The Tadiator was badly smashed, motive power discon- nected and, according to automobile men, the machine is so badly damaged as not to be worth an attempt to re- bufld 'it.

The occupants”of the car bled pro: fusely prior to their.removal to the hospital, having received multiple] abraisions and lacerations about the head and upper parts of their bodfes. The force of the impact was {llus- trated by the finding of one of the au- tomobile tires about twenty yards up the track while wearing apparel was scattered over a wide area.

'NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1917. Steel and Pig Iron Markets New York, March 22.—The Iron Age says: X Prices are undeniably the main concern: of :the iron and steel trade. This week.4ike those preceding marks further advanees. ~ Those already | made have been fairly well tested and there is nothing. discernible that {s calculated to reduce them for many mbnths unless it be a.lack of balance HMARTFORD: ‘H. 0. P. CLOTHES For Ladies and Men Are Most Attractive and Ser- in respect to the new capacity being | competed from time to time, +International - conditiops have, ‘if anything, stimulgted demand. Foreign bidding for materials seems not to have diminished in any particular and many domestic consumers are eager to secure forward protectiogp. = With mills booked for months with definite | business;’ ‘and of it bstantially fir- revocable, it is. mot .surprising that pressure from buyers forces . large price jumps nor that mills are dis- inclined to take on the usual sa- called domestic contracts which, with few exceptions, have proved ta be mere options of advantage chiefly to e buyer. At | ‘What purchasing is abandoned be- cause of high prices, and such is ap- pearing in. general building construc- tion, is regarded as-a stabilizing in- fluence as representing. a definite future demand. The uneasiness ac- companying the rapid advances seems to be disappearing. A policy in some recent finished steel sales of requiring the campletion of specifications in the last half of tis year for material to be: delivered in” the first half of next serves to remove fe#rs that prices are artificial, though an incentive in mak- ing the rise may have been to hold back foreign business and to provide sufficlently for our own government needs. ¥ As if to pyramid demand, word now comes that the new Russian gévern- ment is planning fresh loans to secure cars, locamotives and rails. Then, to add to the future backlag may be counted probable increased .railroad purchases for trackage, for if recent rallroad procedure gives any prece- dent, recognition of the lack of ter- minal facilities will follow increasing mative power capacity just as buying on this account came after a shortage in cars seemed to be the one need. The continued advance in pig iron, covering all grades, is measured this week by $1 to $2.50 per ton. Fur- naces seem unable to make deliveries for some of the iron under considera- ation, and thus the proportions of inquiry are enlarged. Alabama foun- dry iron is now $30, Birmingham, with some sales at $31. Withdrawals by some Southern producers are re- garded. as temporary and forecasting a further advance. The Virginia in- terest, accepting first half of 1918 business, has sold 40,000 tons dnd has put its price to $33 at furnace. In Pittsburgh, Bessemer iron is up $1 per ton and foundry iron has been quoted at $40 for the second half of this year, with $37 and $38 done. In Philadelphia, 2,000 tons of -foundry iron has been sold at $40. A large pump company has bought 28,000 tons for the first. half of next year. some of- this equivalent to about $32, Buffalo; an Eastern steel company has bought in all 58,600 tons of basic and two furnace representatives in Cleveland have sold this month in excess of 100,000 tons. Cast-iron pipe, reflecting pig iron strength, is $2 and $3 a ton higher in some markets and municipal buy- ing is receiving a check. These advances may be. noted: spikes, $6 per ton; shafting about $5 per ton; splice bars for rails, $10. That bolt and nut makers will not open books for last half business is taken to méan an advance for de- liveries beyond July. As indicating the possibility that finishing mills are not being com- pleted as rapidly as semi-finished ca- pacity, an offering of all of 100,000 tons of billets is noted. One of these proffered” sales is, however, for 16,- 000 tons per month for a year. Sheet bars have sold at $67 at mill, for a 2,000-ton lot, $2 above the minimum quotation. Discard steel, for some 5,000 tons, has brought $41 to $42, for rolling reinforcing bars and a widening mar- ket for reinforcing purposes is also developing for bar firon. It is clearer that ship plates for deferred shipments are differentiated from tank plates as they have been for nearby shipment, the ore rang- ing from cents upward, and the other frm 4 1-2 cents. Ship shapes are more commonly going at plate prices. No plate sales at 7 1-2 cents bhave vet been noted, but the wider tank plates more generally command 6 cents. For battle and scout cruis- ers for the United States government ! 98,000 tons have been closed, not in- cluding 16,000 tons of armor plate which went at the prices named last November. Following 100,000 tons of ship plates offered to mills without takers last week, .all of 75,000 tons was refused this week. ‘Export quotations on tin plates are: widely divergent. On 20,000 boxes $£10 per base box has been named, while on 5,000 boxes $8.76 has been accepted. PACIFISTS COME BACK Dr. David Starr Jordan to Bombard President Day and Night With Anti-way Telegrams. New York, March 22.—Dr. David Starr Jordan in behalf of the Emer- gency Peace Federation, meeting here, sent another telegram to Presi- dent Wilson today in which he said: “Our own autocrats are using every effort to force us to join Europe on Europe’s terms.

Prices were irregu- lar, initial quotations, bowever, show- ing more gains than losses with es- pecial strength in shippings, Central Leather and some of the metal; u. 8. Steel also rose a substantial frac- tion but reacted with marines, cop- pers and some of the ralls. Equip- ents and some of the active spe- \Jties also displayed irregular ten- dences. Further recesions were shown by the general list before the end of the first half hour. Reversals of the first hour ran from 1 to 2 points in most of the steel and iron shares, with over 3 points for Bethlehem Steel new and old shares. Shippings also sagged with Central Leather, Industrial Alcohol and various minor specialties. Fol- lowing its course of the preceding day, the list scored general recover- ies from lowest levels, coppers and marines leading the higher movement. before mid-day. U. S. Steel was under pressure, however, and rails also sagged. Bonds were irregular. An extreme advance of seven points in Ohio Gas and'{further activity in shippings were the only features of the early afternoon. Elsewhere trading was listless and price changes were mostly fractional. Prices were most confusing in the final hour, rails developing audqen strength, ‘while industrials and metals showed greater heaviness. The closing ‘was irregular.
