OIQ, Per FOREIGN EXCHANGE New'- Yorlt. Nov. 1. The foreign ex change market opened a shade easier due to tlie completion nf end month coverings. The tendency which strikes arc hnv iug to inrreuse prices of finished prod ucts, is already disee-rnible in the steel industry. In refusing to give tlie. ad ministration time in which to work out the price nroblrin and permit the coun try to settle down to production, the strikers are defeating their own cuds. K. II. (lary, chairninn of tlie 1'nited States Steel Corporation, yesterday an nounced that the company nan sun scribed to $1(1,000,000 of the new 1'nited Kingdom bond issue which bankers qvc offering here and is ready to take an additional $10,000,000 if necessary to complete the bucccss of tlie tillering. MMiis is the Inst day on which hold ers of vinrinnt.4 mav subscribe to new stock of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation lo the extent of 8110,1114 shares, or 110 per cent of the present outstanding capital. Tins stock was offered to shareholders nt $00 a share, hut bus been underwritten nt $"i7, so that the company is assured of $40, 414.0I1S additional working capital no matter what may be the outcome of tlie offering to stockholders. It is esti mated that with the completion of tills transaction tlie company, after ullow inir for current liabilities, will have over $().-, 000,000 of working capital to carry out its development program, which is now being actively prose cuted in l mm. Despite strained industrial condi tions, corn prices have increased this week owing largely to unfavorable weuther and tn car scarcity. MMie mnr ket this morning compared with a week ago was a.,c to 4c higher. At the same time oats were unchanged to 'jo up, and provisions varying from n i-cent decline to a rise of $1.10. Xpw Yorlt, Nov. 1 ,r Continued Im provement In tlie strike situation, an Increasing demand for various pro ducts and apprehension over the pos sibility of a coal strike were, tho out standing fentures of tlie steel situation during tlie last week. The possibility of the coal strike came in for first consideration among the lending interests. Ilccause of tills threatened trouble a number of the leading companies have suddenly shown u tendency to decline much nf the busi ness which has been offered for forward delivery, and consumers hnVe found that they nte compelled to wait until tlie situation clears before they can get orders for their requirements on tlie books of the Manufacturers. In connection with tlie demnnd the most significant feature lins been tlie tendency to cbnrgc premiums on fa vored deliveries by some of the smaller Independent concerns. It has been noted that in some instances the buyers have been willing to pay premiums, and although the tonnages Involved in such contracts have- been moderate, there are mnny who assert that such a condition indicntes an ndvnnce in quo tations if favorable business continues. Thus far none of the larger com panies has asked or quoted prcmLums, but iu this connection it might be stated, tliut the general opinion is these larger concerns nre not in u position to give tho nearby deliveries, and wliere consumers have been nnxious to se cure shipments as soon as possible they have been compelled to deal with some of the small corporations that arc able to furfill the contracts. All reports received by tlie local olliccs of the steel compunies during tlie lust week have shown further additions to the ranks of tho workers nt the steel mills. MMie more complete protection given tlie men willing to work by the city nnd state authorities nil over the country has shown results which arc gratifying, some authorities state. Among the labor developments of the wepk was the charge by President (iom pers of the American Federation of La liov that the steel companies wanted a strike to come. This charge, how ever, is not borne out by tlie past rec ords or the facts in the matter. In .Itinc of last year, the American Fed eration of Labor nt its annual conven tion took the first steps to start labor trouble in the sleel industry, nnd he resolution adopted nt that time was further strengthened by another ndoptctl at the convention nt Atlantic City last lime. These resolutions, which are n mat ter nf public record, clearly indicate where the initial steps to bring about strikes in tlie steel industry were taken. The fact that the labor organizers failed in securing sufficient members to make tlir strlkj' a success is pointed to by steel officials as concrete evidence that tlie workers themselves, with the ex ception of a small minority, did not want to strike. Officials of the. various steel com panies were not inclined to.mnke u reply to the charge of Mr. Clampers. They insisteiMhat tlioe interested in tlie sit uation could cct at the facts, and added that us the newspapers of the country, in their editorials and otherwise, lmve shown aU through the strike that the.v understand tlie situation, it was not necessary In ninkc an answer to Un charge. The statement of earnings of the 1'nited States Steel Corporation for the third quarter of tuts year was inane public during the last week and showed M'rndlng In the local market was of tli familiar half-holiday type, small in volume nml void of feature of interest. No effort was seemingly made to fol low the inspiring icnu set ty inc nuoy nnt upward swing in the New York innrkct. This possibly was largely duo to the fact of tho restraining holiday in fluence. As there is only n single mar ket session sandwiched between two holidays, there was n natural illiiln cllnntlon of the local contingent to ex tend or make new commitments. The early movements in consequence were extremely flnt and uninteresting. Price changes were smnll even in the speculative favorites. Kleetric Storage linttcry nnd the General Asphalt shares were without a sale in the first hour. IClsewlicre It was simply n game of frnctlonnl juggling. The results were about equnlly divided between gains and losses. Philadelphia Itunid Tran sit Inst fiO cents', I.nkc Superior Cor poration Vs. nnd American Stores the sntne fraction. On (lie other side, United Gns Improvement advanced . The outstanding development of the week was supplied in the successful nr icsting of the liquidating movement in 1 uitcd Gns Improvement stock. The leossiiring circular issued by tho busi ness development committee of the Phil adelphia Stock Exchange contributed greatly toward allaying the apprehen sion crentcd by the discnuritRiufS unin terrupted depreciation In tho market Ntlun of the company's slmvcs. It is needless to repent the statements fur nished, but briefly, tho circular supplied Ihn most wanted Information, whlcji was that tlie current dividend rate wart n nspmibly snfe for at least nnothcr jenf. If flic efforts of the business develop ment, committee is prolific of equally good work in relation to other securities dealt in on the Philadelphia Stock Kx- t change, the organization win have not been in vain. Tho committee has al ready issued four circular letters re viewing that pumbcr of local properties.

For several years many of the railroads huyc been getting nlong with much less than their usual annual quota of new rails, and as n result there is much replacement in all sections of tlie country.
