Robert Tait. 35, in | to escape from the third dow, fell to the sidewalk and was killed. Hjalmar Jacobson jumped from the second story and had both legs broken. His wife's hair burned from her head and her badly scorched. Ruby Dickston, months old, was dropped from the third story window into the arms of a negro sailor. As the result of the fall and the shock it is expected that the infant will die. Rowland Dick- stone, 2 years old was caught by the same sailor, after being dropped from the window and is not seriously in- ured. ral other roomers were slightly burned and partly suffocated. Tait, the man who was killed, was for several years employed by the General Electric Co. in Pittsfield, Mass. Tt is understood that he has a family in Pittsfield. The cause of the fire has not been determined. Some of the roomers made escape by improvising ropes from sheets, by which they lowecred them- selves to the sidewalk. A ladder from a nearby garage was also used to aid in taking the people ont of the sec- ond story windows. The interior of the building which was occupied on the street floor by a saloon was gut- ted and the damage will probably amount to $15,000. 29.——Fire in at the ¥ the attempting story win- was| hand three < Sov NEW RAT EFFECTIVE, Cotton Exchange Approves Increase in Commissions, New York, May 29.—Increases in rates of commissions for cotton sold on tte New Yorx cotton exchange were approved today by the board of man- agers, and the members will vote on the amendments on June 9.

The Iron Age says: Demand for steel has improved measurably and sentiment throughout the trade has turned for the better Some of the change is due to the fail- | ure of the Railroad administration to break the price of rails and to the belief that the 200,000 tons grudgingly placed must be 2.55¢, & on orders The business of the past week is thought much of because the trade | has got on so long on so little, Significant contracts are those just closed by two large automobile com- panies, one amounting to more than 300,000 tons of billets, sheets, wire and tubes, on which deliveries extend into 1920. A third motor car builder is now In the market for a large ton- nage. While no formal guarantee of prices was made on these contracts, they are considered to be subject to revision on undelivered portions if the market declines. More buyers have market in the 'past ten days to make contracts for 60 to whereas hand-to-mouth buying been their nule for six months. 6000-ton sheet-bar contract ample. The Railroad administration has bought, under protest. the 200,000 tons of steel rails on which bids were taken May 17. paying $47 for open- hearth rails, the price named by the Bethlehem, Lackawanna, Colorado, Carnegie, Tllinois and Tennessee com- panies. The Midvale bid was $57 for open-hearth and 5 for Bessemer rails. The Lackawanna and Bethle- hem awards were 40,000 tons, while the Colorado mill received 20,000 tons and the three Steel corporation sub- sidiaries 100,000 tons. It is evident that urgent needs of the railroads have been ignored while the director-zencral has been fighting ! to break the steel market, since de- livery of all the 200.000 tons in 60 day called for and more than 50 lines will share in the order, an aver- age of 4,000 tons each. Further buy- ing is looked for, as legitimate put at a million tons more Contributing to the better f the market is the decision to state on car builders’ hooks 20,000 cars in France.
