The nature of his old injury was such, however, that he was rejected, much to his disappointment, t is at the sessions of the exemp- s boards that the men of the city show their true calibre. Some show themselves to be red-blooded Ameri- cans, whether aliens or native born, while athers show a distinct saffren shade. Of the latter were several this morning. One man at first refused to sign his examination sheet and did 80 only when threatefied with arrest. When he learned that hejhad been accepted by the surgeons wlmo: fainted and when he was informe that because he had no dependents he couldn’t seek exemption on those grounds he left. quently, however, to file a claim for lemption an industrial reasons. He ost scored. a knock-out with the clerk when he declared that he is a butSher by occupation. Numerous ther men, mostly aliens, refused point-blank ' to Join the army because they said, they were making from $15 t0 $20 per week hete and they couldn’t do that in their native land. As they were¢ aliens the board could do noth- ing except think. From Honeymoon to War. Ffom honeymoon to war bids fair to be the experience of Harold H. Frost of 64 Prospect street. Mr. Frost and Miss Mable Jester were married anly a few days ago and while spend- ing their honeymoon at Pleasant View, R. I, the groom received his sum- mions to appear before the examina- .tion board. He left his young bride, réturned, and was examined this momning. He passed the physical tests and will probably be enrolled in the new army. Following is a list of examinations up ta noon today, those examined this afternaon not being printed inasmuch as it is hardly probable that they will be included in the first quota.

Pressed by some of its Allies to get for them much- needed steel, the government is hur- rying its cost-fiinding inquiry, but as telegrams for iron ore costs only went out this week the investigators are some distance from the end. Without taking a final position on the question of selling to the Allies at the same prices as to the govern- ment, steel manufacturers have ac- cepted orders from officials at Wash- ington this week applying on 10,000 tons of annealed wire and 20,000 tons of wire rods for Italy, prices to be fixed after the trade commission’s findings are made up. When these Italian inquiries first appeared some weeks ago, '4.50c was quoted on the wire and $85 on the rods. While the general question s in abeyance, it is understood that some steel interests have expressed a will- ingness to take business from the government at prices to be deter- mined later, even though the mater- ial is for an ally. For the American army, in France a 20,000-ton inquiry for 25-lb. rails has come out, for use in portable tracks. UnMke the recent contracts for 150,000 tons of 80-lb. sections no price is fixed, but bids are asked. Con- trary to reports, none of the $0-l1b. rails were refused by the mills, but on two of the lots concerning which a question was ralsed as to price, or- ders to go ahead with the rolling have not yet been given, though all these rails are wanted in six weeks. ‘While specifications on the govern- ment’s requirements for its standar- dized merchant ships will not come to the steel mills until early in 1918, plates are being placed each week for government vessels that are being constructed after builders’ plans. In- dependent steel companies are now getting considerable orders for such steel in view of the large tonnages already taken by the steel corpora- tion. The latter, it is estimated, has on its books nearly ‘800,000 tons of steel for the navy, for government merchant ships and for private yards. Of the 17,000 cars wanted for the American railroad in France 9,000 have been placed in the past week, and thus far about 75,000 kegs of spikes have been ordered. ‘What is generally known as to the effect of present high prices on con- struction is definitely indicated in the report of July bookings representing 41.5 per cent of the country’s fabri- cated steel capacity., This s the smallest total reported since Febru- ary, 1916. The outcome of efforts to secure emptions for workers in iron and ste and metal-warking plants have been ‘disappointing to employers. It is of vastly more consequence to the gov- ernment than cost finding that there be adequate working forces at coke ovens, blast furnaces and steel works. One Eastern steel company has been seriously effected by the large drafts made -upon its working forces. Only special intervention from Washington, even to the extent of new legislation, seems likely to avert an acute situa- tion. Shore coke supply in particular is affecting the entire industry. With pig iron production in the first half of the year 350,000 tons less than in the first half of 1916, and:550,000 tons less than the second half, only an un- usual use of scrap has made increased steel works output possible. The supply of steel in the form of billets, sheet bars and slabs is in- creasing in the open market and prices are ylelding. A sale of 2,000 tons of open-hearth billets and one of 1,000 tons are reported from Pittsburgh at $85, or $5 less than the prompt mar- ket of one week ago. Italy is inquiring for 15,000 tons of rerolling billets. In finished material the weeks of inactivity have brought no apprecia- ble price changes. Some increase in the supply of plates has been expect- ed from the export embargo, but neither deliveries nor prices appear to be easier. Afh easler pig iron market has re- sulted from the inaction of the past month, but the condition i{s not one of positive weakness. With stocks about half those of one year ago and in viey of the inability of furnaces to get Sufficient coke, prodycers are standing on their well-filled order books and as yet are not conceding that Government revision of coke to a $3 or $4 basis will mean any consider- able reduction in pig iron. Some concessions are being made by fur- naces which have not been long in blast. ELKS TO RAISE $600. At the meeting of the Elks last eve- ning it was announced that $600 was New Britain lodge’s share of the $1,- 000,000 which the Elks voted .to raise for a war rellef fund at their last national meeting at Boston early in July. The local lodge plans to hola a clambake in the near future. BAND CONCERT TONIGHT.

U. S. Steel Marine preferred, and some of the minor specialties gained small fractions, but these were soon lost in the heaviness of indus- trial Alcohol, Bethlehem and Cruci- ble Steels, Central Leather and other equipments. Rails pursued their re- cent narrow and irregular course and [metals were apathetic. Price movements became more er- ratic< during the forenoon, some stocks adding to first gains, while others extended their initial losses. Alcohol was under special pressure, declining 7 1-4 points, subsequently rallying 2 1-4. Delaware and Hudson dropped 4 to a new low record. Other rails, including coalers, were reac- tionary. Among the more active in- dustrials and equipment the usual week-end closing of short committ- ments was indicated. Liberty bonds sold at 99.80 to 99.86. Selling of the transportation stocks broadened later, taking in New York Central, Reading, Canadian Pacific, and several minor issues at recessions of 1 to 1 1-2 points. Industrials har- dened, some steels exceeding best prices of the morning. e .
