The net Improvement in operations of the iron and steel mills during the week was better than an week since the strike began, mi evidence thnt the strike is fast dying. The increase In disorders it plants is pointed to bv steel men as further eyldcuce that the men interested In maintaining the strike realize that the struggle is lost and arc ugly. Activ ities of the coming week will be greater nt Youngstovvn nnd C'levelund, nnd the American Sheet and Tin Plate Com pany expects to get virtual! 00 per cent of its sheet plants In operation, the Pittsburgh district being now vir tually normal. An effect of the stiikc is the further evidence of u pig iron shortage because many blast furnaces were closed. The l'lttsburgli district lias benefitted fiom the more sellout conditions iu other places-. The Cambria plant at Johns town is still completely closed and the best men have been (oming to the Pittsburgh mills for work. Mill man agers are devoting moie attention to rebuilding organizations than to gcttlng out tonnages and some very skilled and well-paid men have been refused posi tions. There is n shortage of almost all kinds of product, but on the whole the larger producers lire inclined to adopt a moderate price action so that no grent advance in prices is probable. In many lines premiums nie offered on goiug prices for prompt delivery, nnd S2.70 has been paid for early delivery bars. An insistent demand is in the maikct for most goods for delivery next year. Stocks in warehouses have been pretty well exhausted. More Ulast Kurnaccs The steel corporation has increased the number of blast furnaces in opera tion, and its subsidiaries are no longer biiing iron in the market, l'oundry grades are nil higher and furnace men all figure on higher selling prices. The total purchases of the American llridge Company for its Pcnco.vd works aggre gated lU.dUU tons. i lie demand lor foundr iron for prompt shipment in lots of 100 to ItOO tons from (onsutners having theii tegular sources of suppl cut off continues active Several Ohio furnaces ale still selling early shipment foundi.v iron here at i-SU to $.'i a ton premium.

The New York offices of the firm were raided csterdny 'at thercciuest of Pistrict Attorney Kotnn.
