In the main operations at 75 per cent, were re ported. with the Steel Corporation's percentage somewhat higher. "The large sales of round bars for shrapnel and for gun barrels are still the outstanding feature. 60,000 to 70,000 tons of such business having been placed in the Pittsburgh district in the past week. One considerable shrapnel contract on which work is under way in the Central West Is un derstood to be for the United States government. Foreign business is well maintained, but the scarcity of vessels is more pronounced. • » • New Hail Specifications "The Pennsylvania Railroad has put out a new specification for its 138,000 tons of rails for 1915 and it may be several weeks before the order Is dis tributed. The casting of Ingots with sinkheads, as in the case of some of the rails ordered in 1914, is called for. The extra of $4 asked by the mills for rails under the original 1915 specifica tions was not satisfactory to the road. "Rail orders of the week have been for minor tonnages—s,loo tons for the Norfolk and Western, 3,000 tons for the Louisville. Henderson and St. Louis, 3,000 tons additional for the Chicago and Alton and l.fiOO tons for the Southern. The Southern Pacific order for 27,000 tons reported last week is for rolling in the Spring of 1916. The New South Wales rail mill is making itself felt, taking a 30,000-ton Aus tralian order that would have gone to British, Canadian or American makers. "While Pittsburgh mills have kept up their recent rate of operation, there ha* been some slowing down in the Mahoning Valley, due to the cutting down of sheet bar rollings now that so many mills are out of the galvanized sheet market. * » • "In addition to 50,000 tons of basic iron sold in the Pittsburgh district as reported last week 30,000 to 40,000 tons has been placed for last half de livery with a furnace east of Pitts burgh. With less than Valley freight, the delivered price is equivalent to $12.50 at Valley furnace."

NEWBMGEEI CAUSES 1 TROUBLE When Summer Rush Is on Extra Clerks May Be Necessary; How Trunks Are Valued The new baggage valuation law, which went Into effect Tuesday, has not yet caused any trouble in Har rlsburg. Local baggafee officials say there has been no' rush, and until business Increases no trouble Is antici pated.
