of the dealings on tho local exchnnse

than a point nt one time, hut the Kaln

Asldo from theso two Issues the local

Tho strength of the metal shares Is
only natural nnd keeps pneo with the
rising tendency of plc Iron ns well as of
Mulshed products. Furnaces nre well
sold up, and the Inquiry now Is sub
stantially as Inrse for tho first half of
next year as it Is for tho present ycir.
Thoro were rumors today that tho Steel
Corporation had this week bouaht pig
Iron In tho North, following Its recent
purchases In the South. Thoro nro no
weak spota In the Iron nnd steel markets
nt present nnd some men In tho trodo
nre even expressing fears of n runaway
mnrket If existing conditions continue.
Ilesldes tho foreign orders the domestic
demand for Btecl products Is good and
the mills me falling steadily behind In
tho tnnttcr of deliveries. Exports have
rlson by leaps nnd bounds. Tho Mny ex
ports were 14 per cent, under the best
monthly record, while June exports were
16 per cent, beyond that record nnd ex
ports now nro bcllovcd to exceed a rate
of B.OOO.OOO tons a year,
The locnl anthracite group relapsed
Into stagnation todny. Tho 8trcet ap
proved tho statement Issued by I.. F.
Lorce, president of the Delaware and
Hudson, regarding the Interstate Com
merce Commission's methods of Investi
gation, but could not see thnt It was like
ly to have much effect. Meantime tho ac
tivities of the miners' unions hnn led
somo of the big companies to look for
labor troubles next year, and they nro
already beginning to storo up coal. Tho
demands of the men nro such thnt the
operators cannot accept them, nnd, In
fact, they have failed on nil ulmllnr oc
casions to have somo of them seriously
considered by the employers. For the
present tho trndo Is dull, but Improve
ment Is looked for shortly.

According to Drndstreets, country-wide
optimism, smarter nctlvlty In metal man
ufacturing, further slight Improvement In
lines thnt have lagged, heavier buying of
pig Iron ot ndvnnced prices, relatively ex
cellent crop news, war orders that over
flow regular, channels to. plants not here
tofore engaged In-that respect, better
collections. Incrcnscd calls for money
with which to move crops, some, though
not satisfactory, relief In the way of
higher frolght rates for Western rail
roads, a heavy Influx of gold to help bol
ster weak rates for foreign exchange,
which are at new record low levels, nnd
sustained public Interest In tho stock
mnrket, comprehend the chief features
of the week's development. Besides,
warm weather has helped retail traders
to dispose of summer goods nt greatly
reduced prices. Practically all visiting
merchnnts, irrespective of tho Bectlons
from which they hail, agree that the out
look for the fall nnd winter la exception
ally good, that Btocks In the hands of In

tho grain-growing sections high prices
mean reduced obligations and enlarged

WASHINGTON', AU5. 14. Kxports of
cotton In July this yenr were nearly
doublo those for tho same month In 1911,
the Census Bureau today announced. The
total for July, 1915, wns 213,522 bales, 'in
cluding llnters, against 126,211 bales In
July, 1911.
Claims of cotton men that the British
blockade has Interfered seriously with
their huslnens are borne out In part, how
