NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1917. A. KATTEN & SON Hartford One Price Clothing Co. 114-116 ASYLUM STREET Steel and Pig Iron Markets|, The Iron Age says: The situation has been further cleared by govern- ment announcement on November 5 of | agreed prices on sheets, wrought pipe, fence wire, tin plate, cold rolled shafting and scrap. The new finished material prices as carefully worked out by the steel manufacturers’ com- | mittee, are in line with those pre- viously fixed and the government makes the important statement that on products not yet covered by official schedules the manufacturers have agreed to adjust prices promptly. Thus it appears that further Washington announcements are not to be looked for, unless at any time a general re- vision should be made. Trade opinion is agreed that the ' new prices of this week are generally in line with the bases previously de- termined, with the possible exception of galvanized sheets, which at 6.25c for No. 28 do not give a profitable spread over 5c for black sheets, where the latter are bought in the market. In the case of scrap, the new schedule, as had becn expected, estab- lishes maximum prices at points of consumption. It is to be noted that on wrought pipe the new prices represent $4 a ton reduction from the last card of inde- pendent manufacturers, but an ad- vance of $8 a ton in prices of the National Tube company. In wire pro- ducts the new basis is $10 a ton below prices for some time made by leading independent companies and about §6 a ton ab those of 'the American Steel & Wire Co., at which, however, little or no commercial product could be had. ‘While the price basis on which the iron and steel trade nqw finds itself RichtersCo. 81 WEST MAIN STREET ..........c.....NEW BRITAIN, CONN.

London, Nov. 9.—Several transports | from Kronstadt arrived in Petrograd Wednesday carrying sailors who pre- viously had sided with the provisional | government, says a despatch to the, Daily News from Petrograd. The correspondent gives the following ex- tract from Nikolai Lenine’s address to the council of workmen's and sol- Jiers’ delegates on Wednesday. “The second revolution has been accomplished. We shall offer a peace acceplable to the proletariat of afl countries, publish all secret treaties, take over all Poland and establish the control of workmen over industry. The consequence will be the accom- | pajace. plishment of the third social revolu- tion.” M. Maslov, a social revolutionist is at present as well satisfied as any man in the war.

For the destroyers recently let 60,000 to 70,000 to: | steel have been given out, largely plates. A measure of the scarcity of plates is found in the estimate that govern- ment merchant ships, representing en- tirely new demand, will take in each of the next two vears 1,500,000 tons of plates. The total production of sheared plates one-fourth inch and thicker was not quite 2,500,000 tons in 1916, Besides the 30,000 cars for Rus o held up until responsibility for pay- to supply 5,000, more cars for our ex peditionary forces and upward of 6,000 for domestic roads are under consideration. Inability of certain manufacturers to count on steel supply promises to figure more and more in the war toll The automobile industry is much dis- turbed by the announcement that al- loy steel would be largely withheld from it, vet there is nowhere any defi- nite knowledge as to N\q such steel government needs will re- quire. The readjustment of prices on vari- ous products into which rolled steel enters, such as nuts and bolts, is be promptly worked out in line with the schedules the steel manufacturers have already made. As to nuts and | bolts, opinions of producers show con- siderable variation. The way in which these various changes are car- ried out will be a matter of close gov- ernment observation. It is intimated that fuel will not be forthcoming for manufacturers of steel or of collateral | products who do not carry out the terms of price agreement: The fact that various sales of coke Free De.very Telephone 1435-3 ment is firmly settled, and the 10,000 | cars for French railroads, builders are | sians' resumed {roubles | the bélief that Russia { through her internal ameunt of | to | | tion here today. ! continue tomorrow. up to 10,000 tons, lis d prices.

Two girls, knitting furiously a couple of, feet away from the mnoisy side of the orchestra at a Saturday matinee, had their neighbors a little worried. It was feared that when the base drummer dealt a resounding blow with his bludgeon and banged the cymbals they might nervously let fly a knitting needle or two. | But they were calm, phlegmatic knitters and minded not the din or | sudden clashes. They knitted right on, never pausing except during the love scenes, when they appeared . to forget their varn and take interekt in the story for a little while.
