burgh Coal Issues feature
' JBV YOnK, AAitr. 18. Stocks wero not
a active in tlio trading on tho Stock Kx
thutiffo In tho short session todny. While
Mice movement woro not ns wide ns has
,rcti tho cno In tho last tew ilnyn, they
vero, with few exceptions, iithvarcl, In
terest still being confined to tho wnr
.edaltle. nnd tho prospect of ndilltlonnl
wr orders was a considerable Item In
fcccpmif tncBe issues in mo iimciignt. , as
its been inn case ior some time now, me
rsllronil shares lagged. A larpc amount
ef trading was of an evening up sort over
the week-end, ns Is generally the custom
on Saturdays.
rittsburch Coal Issues furnished tho out
fiunninR feature of tho day, both tho
.common ,nnii prctcrreti Demi? strong, tho
former moving up over 3 nnd tha latter
14 points before tfic end of the first
fkour. From time to time, In the last sev
eral weeks especially, there has been tnlk
ifcf some ravorauie aoveiopmcnts lor mo
'feompany While tho copper shares, with
"the exception of Tennessee Copper, wero
strong on me nigrner price lor inc meiai
and the better demand, both here and
(broad, they did not show largo ad
vncs. Tcnnessco Copper was a weak
saU at one time 6Mng off 3V4 points.
Tes Company developed some strength
fnd rose over 3 points.
f. Late In tho day there was somo prom
ising and tho market sold oft from tho
toy's best. Prices, as a rule, were up
1 for tne uay, nuwerurt uui mere was ccn-
ilderaolo more irrcRuiaruy man ior mo
bit four) days. Rock Island was weak,
(i was Tennessee copper. Tho foreign ex
chango market was heavy, rates going
down to the prevloua low point for ster
ling, reached yesterday.
No better Illustration thnt business con
ditions throughout tho country arc on
tht mend, and steadily, - too, Is needed
than tho weekly statement of the volumo
of bank clearings of tho country. In
the last sevcrnl weeks the increase over
the corresponding period of tho previous
rear has been tremendous, and this Week,
for Instance, there Is nn expansion of 52.2
per cent., an or mo large cities coming
In for advances with tho oxceptlon of
Baltimore, which showed a decrease of
islljhtly more than it per cent.
Another very favorablo factor to tho
general situation Is tho abundance and
cheapness of money, so with tho com
plications of the International situation
cut of tho way, and tho assurances aro
ihat they will soon be a thing of tho
!pt. Judging from tho optimistic reports
which .are being received, there should
be no reason why business should not
lave a long and uninterrupted upwnrd
turn.
Aside from tho international situation
.vthero is another rhlntr whtM, .v.,,.., i.
I adjusted, and that Is the foreign exchange''
r, mantei. n is realized that something
ftnuat be dono to put rates back on a
normal baslB, and that Will probably be
s accomplished when tho nrltloh and
PFrench bankers confer here on the ex
I change situation.
ine inci mat me United States for
the first time In history Is the leading
country ns nn exporter creates no little
amount .of optimism as to tho country's
future. In the llscnl year ending Juno
91, according to. figures just given out.
oar experts showed an increase of 17 per
tent, whereas for tho United Kingdom,
whlch,has always led heretofore. ihr.

Hertvy trndtnp; in Lake Superior was
tho outstanding feature of nn otherwise
dull geaslon on tho local exchange to
day. Many brokers were nbgent from the
Hoor nn1 commission houses bore h des
tltuto appenrnnce. demand for Lake Su
perior eel In right nt tho openlni?, fol
lowing the outburst ofwictlvltv In the
slock ,ust beforo the close lost night.
8omo SOOO shares wero token today, tho
price nilvnuclnur n fi action. Itesson for
tho rise was found In a statement by
tho llrltlsli Ministry of Munitions thnt
heioalter Cnnndn would bo specially in
voretl with wnr orders, The natural de
duction was that the Algoma Bteel
A orlts would receive a substantial nharo
Crnmp Shipbuilding, after nn lnltlai
drop from ay, to S1, advanced suddenly
to 87, but comparatively little stock
changed hands In th. process and It sub
sequently reacted. Drill moved up smart
ly nnd Electric Stornco Battery was well
taken around koIiib quotations for a time,
but receded nt the close. Otherwise too
market was tjvlcnl of a midsummer Sat
urday. On the purchase of 10 shares
Philadelphia Company preferred moved
up r, points to 40, but the common was
a trlilo reactionary.
United States Steel nnd Cambria Steel
ruled linn. In the trade specifications
on contracts continue heavy, and, It la
predicted, that AuKUst will make approx
imately as favorable n showlnff ns July
In this respect Exports contlnuo to ex
pand, the demand for large rounds for
shells bclrss particularly pronounced.
Prlccsi aro still advancing and nenrly nil
steel mills aro crowded.
It Is IntcirstlnK to compare the prices
at tho close of this week with tho year's
high and low levels. It will be observed
thnt, despite the recent reaction, quota
tions ale, not much below the best In the
moru active Issues.

LONDON STOCK MAKKET
Preparations for Payment of Instal
ment on War Loan Complete
LONDON, Auff. 28. Sentiment on tho
Stock Exchange was cheerful today, due
to the more cucouraRlni; news from Itus
slu. A llrmer tendency was displayed
In tho new wnr loan, Influenced by the
fact that preparations for the payment
of Instalments clue next Tuesday havo
been completed. Tho success of efforts
to utilize currency notes for gold has
had n reassuring effect.
Loans and discounts were easier, despito
tho exchango situation. Home rails wero
llrmer In spots, because of the brighter
outlook In tho Welsh coal strike
situation.
Although trading In American shares
was slow, a cheerful feeling prevailed.
.'Canadian Pacific was firmer. Argentine
rails showed creater buoyancy than any
thing cls6 ln.,t,he;.Jnar;Rets. Itubber and
oil Issues held steady.

Discussing the Immense savings nnd
profits effected by the use of by-product
ovens In the manufacture of coke from
coal. Chandler Bros. & Co. say:
"It may be Interesting to mention an
other remarkable saving process now
turned into on enormous profit. This Is
by Bteel companies In tho last few years
In the utilization of blast furnace slag.
This former waato product, which con
tains all tho essentials of cement. Is now
being made Into cement. One company
alone produce 25,ono to 35,000. barrels of
cement per day from this source; the
I'nlvorsal Portland Cement Company, a
subsidiary of the United States Steel Cor
poration, The value of tho product of
this plant Is about $15,000,000 per year.
On the basis of 30,000,000 tons of pig iron
per year (Charles M Schwab says our
production of pig lion in 1916 will be
40,000,000 tons), thu blast furnaces of tho
United States can furnish slag enough
to make 40,000,000 tons of cement, or 200,
OW.OOO bnrrels of cement, valued at be
tween $200 005,000 and $300,000,000. made from
