Steel Jobbers Doing Ten Per Cent, of Normal Business I The Wall Street Journal has this to I say of the depression in the steel trade: "The depression in the steel 'trade is being felt by jobbers, who are doing about 10 per cent, of their nor mal business. One company which specializes in railroad business reports that not only are roads not buying new materials, including machinery and locomotive parts, but are putting their engines in shape and white leading them and storing them, as they have no use for their entire equipment at present. Machinery markets arp extremely dull, as all the buying consists of parts for repairs. The outlook for steel merchants is, according to jobbers, worse than it has been for fifteen years, with prices showing a softening tendency. While it is not expected that prices will make a new low record before the end of the year, it Is not probable that they will be increased much until the Eu ropean situation is cleared up to some extent. 62 New Members of Centenary at Reception In honor of the sixty-two new mem bers who have joined Centenary Unit ed Brethren Church during the past year, a reception was held in the Sun day school room last evening.

AWAIT BETTER TIMES TO START NEW TRAINS Western Maryland Still on Econ omy Orders, but Hope For Better Things Special to The Telegraph Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 26.—-Pros* perlty Is anxiously awaited here by the Western Maryland Railroad officials In order to put Into effect plans for in creased passenger and freight traffic. In the words of one official, "passenger trains would not he running to and from Harrlsburg via of the Reading lines, but for the business depres sion." Schedules were worked out long ago for through trains from Pittsburgh via of Connellsvllle, this city and Har risburg. When hard times came the plans were shelved. Economy is now being practiced. The strides made by the property in recent months In developing operating and transportation economies has been the one pleasing feature of the com pany's statements. As far as earnings were concerned, the fiscal year was a disastrous one. Gross fell off heav ily .and the company reported a deficit after all charges of over $2,500,000. In March last, when the new man agement took charge of the property, the average freight train load was only 565 tons. In July, last, It was 717 tons, an Increase in five months of 27 per cent. Tons of freight carried per locomotive mile show the remarkable increase of 52 per cent, from 356 tons in March to 641 In July, the locomo tive efficiency being half again as large in July as in March. Average tons per loaded freight car Increased from 30.87 to 32.65 tons. Again big savings are shown in helper engine service over the West ern Maryland heavy grades. The per centage of helper engine miles to total train miles in March was 4 4.16 per cent., but in July it was only 27.87 per cent. Earnings per freight train mile In March were $2,866, but In July they were $3,799, an increase of over $32 per cent.

Railroad Appeal Denied. —The State Supreme Court has denied the appeal of the Pennsylvania Railroad to take over the remaining property of the Pennsylvania Canal Company as pre ferred creditor.
