The funeral | of ingots, Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: The effect on the domestic market of the Government embargo on cer- tain iron and steel exports, effective July 15, will not be important, since exports of pig iron, steel billets, struc- tural shapes, plates, ferro-mangan- ese and scrap to neutrals have been small. It seems likely that some re- striction will be put upon exports of ship plates to Japan, as this move- ment has. been considerable and plates are greatly needed for the ships building here. There may be some reselling of ex- port products now on the books, as in the case of pig iron for Sweden and Holland, but the volume will be even less than that represented in the resales of recent months, where Ves- sel room could not be had for pigiron or steel that had been shipped to var- ious seaport. There is no present basis for the published report that the Exports Council will use its control to dictate prices at which exported commodities shall be sold. . Steel manufacturers’ estimates of Government and Allies’ total buying of steel products, expressed in terms approximate 12,000,000 tons for the coming year, at the higher rate of shipbuilding now thought pos- sible, or nearly 30 per cent. of the country’s present steel output. In plates and shapes the percentage tak- en for Government use is expected to go to 40 or 50. A considerable addition to the 81,- 000 tons of shell steel recently placed by the government is under negotia- tion. There are evidences also of the release of a large amount of business that has been awaiting Washington action. This applies to machine tools as well, shipyard purchases running into large figures. Government demand for sheets has been an important factor in that mar- ket. Prices for No. 28 black and No. 10 blue annealed sheets are near to & parity at 8.75c. Under present conditions manu- facturers are making headway on their contract obligations, as illus- trated by the reduction of 503,000 tons in the Steel Corporation’s un- fllled orders. Yet congestion at mills is still hampering operations, car sup- ply showing no such improvement as might be inferred from the exten- sive co-operation of rallroads and shippers. In the pig iron market the feature has been the beginning of contracting covering the, second half of 1918. The amount of such business is small, however, one Southern seller of foun- dry iron being a leader in the move- ment. Prices are irregular. the de- cision of some sellers to g6 $2 farther into the fifties being apparently in- consistent with concessions on offer- ings of resale iron. Prices on steel making iron vary. While sales of Bessemer iron are re- ported at $57 and of basic iron at $54, there have heen offers of Bessem- er at $55 at Valley furnace. An in- quiry in the Pittsburgh district is for 15,000 tons of basic iron for the first half of next year. Prices on prompt blast furnace coke are steadily declining and $13 is more common this week. A contract for 8,000 tons a month for the last half of the year has heen put through at $10 at oven. Indications are that coke output and consequently pig iron output will show some increase in the second half of the year.

Police court offered but little of in- terest this morning, the only case to Judge James T. Mes- ane in which Theodore alias Emmanuel, and Paul were each fined $7 and costs for assaulting Lucas Emmanuel. The fight took place yesterday afternoon in a store at 153 North street. Em- manuel is said to have brought suit nist Porfiros for the payment of a loan and the fight resulted. Louis Thompsson, charged with as- saulting Charles Weare, appeared in court this morning and his case was continued until Saturday, Due to a misunderstanding, Thompson did not \ppeaer in court vesterday and at that time a $100 bond, posted by David Coleman, was declared forfeited.

Hartford, July 12.—The Connecti- cut State Council of Defense today forwarded to Secretary of War Baker a protest “‘against the use of the fig- ures reported to be estimates of the population of the state of Connecti- cut, as shown by a document entitled “Estimates of Population” and issued by the federal government under date of July 1. These estimates, accordinz to the preface, have been made “sole- 1y for use as a basis for the appor- tionment of the forthcoming draft.” The statement gives the total popu- lation of Connecticut as 1,719,623, A previous estimate by the government gave the state’s population as 1,334,- 804. The new estimate, it is explained. is made qn the nation-wide percent- age of registrants to the estimated total population of continental United States, exclusive of Alaska. The Con- necticut State Council of Defense contends this method to be unfair to this state, because the excess of men from 21 to 30 years of age in this state is almost without exception em- ployed in atms and munitions fac- tories. | = AMERICAN WOMAN AN ENVOY.

Financial MARKET RALLIES FROM EARLY GLOOM Statement by President Felt at Opening Hour Only ~ Wall Strett—President Wilson's statement in regard to the profits during the war caused an abrupt re- action at the beginning of the day’s trading, losses in important stocks | extending from 2 to almost 6 points. | Steamship issues registered the greatest reversal, Atlantic Gulf and West Indies breaking 5 5-8 points and Marine preferred 2 3-4. U. S. Steel | was quoted at 126 1-2 to 125 against | yesterday's final price of 127 1-2. | Other industrials and war shares | were lower by 1 to 3 1-2 points, Pitts- burgh, Coal, Baldwin I.ocomotive, Studebaker and Industrial Alcohol were heavy to weak. Rallies of 1 to 2 points ensued hefore the end of the first half hour, The early decline proved little more than a bear raid, shorts soon running to cover. The rally | made greater headway on official con- firmation of a satisfactory settlement of the industrial situation at Wash- ington. Many severe losses were en- tirely relieved. Advances of 1 to 5 points were made by Industrial Alcohol, the to- bacco, United Railways common and preferred and Philadelphia company. General strength prevailed at noon. Bonds were firm, the Liberty issue, however selling at 99 49-100. Price movements during the early | afternoon were rather irregular.
