THURSDAY EVENING,
SHARP ADVANCES
IN STEEL MARKET
Government Purchasing on
War Footing Scale Seems
to Be Reason
Belief in early Government purchas
ing on a war footing scale seems to
be the underlying reason for the
sharp advances and continued strength
of both iron and steel markets. Fac
ing the possible Government pre-emp
tion of space in mills, after suffering
the curtailment of output, particularly
throughout February, amounting, to
perhaps thirty per cent, as an esti
mated average, both pig iron and fin
ished steel are sensitive to even ex
pected buying of consumers.
In summarizing the situation the
Iron Age of to-day says:
"In all this any check due to di
minished exporting is discounted. In
some lines inability to supply on ex
port orders serves to reduce unwel
come high -ressure on mill operations.
Big sales have not been the order but
interest in protection for late 1917 and
early 1918 needs, with blast furnaces
and steel mills well booked for much
of these periods.
"Spot buying of Iron has taken a
second place to contracting for late
this year and for the first half
"How serious has been the coke
shortage Is Indicated in the pigiron
production figures for February, which
give the month's output at 2,637,042
tons or>a daily production of 94,180
tons, the lowest since August, 1915,
when the average dally output was
89,666. For September, 1915, the out
put was 95,085 tons per day. The
February output compares with 101,-
643 tons per day in January, or over
a 7 per cent. drop. Three more fur
naces were in blast on March 1, 315 in
all, tHan on February 1, but the rate
at which they were making Iron was
96,874 tons a day against 101,866 tons
on February 1.
"A rapid recovery may undoubtedly
be iooked for, as coke production is
better and railroad transportation is
improved. The fact Is shown In easier
prompt coke prices, Pittsburgh sales
being $lO against sl2 last week."

RAILROAD RUMBLES
STOCK BUYING IS
POPULAR MOVE
Reports Show Many Purchases
by Pennsylvania Railroad
Employes
Buying Pennsylvania Railroad stock
on the Instalment plan la keeping
Treasurer James K. Linn busy. He is
treasurer of the Mutual Beneficial As
sociation of Pennsylvania Railroad Em
ployes. In an address in Harrisburg
during February Treasurer Linn told
of the plan offered to Mutual members
to buy stock.
Since that time the Mutual officials
have been besieged with inquiries. The
following Is taken from the current
number of the Mutual Magazine:
Many Share* llouKht
"From the Ist to the 15th of Febru
ary, 141 shares of Pennsylvania Rail
road stock have been purchased for
members of our association, represent
ing a cost of $7,935.91. The purchasers
of this stock represent eight divisions
and the general office of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad and arc composed of
shopmen, clerks, laborers, trainmas
ters, car inspectors, conductors, brake
men, enginemen, telegraph operators
and agents.
"The first two weeks that our plan,
which enables our members to become
the owners of the best railroad stock
in the world, has been In operation lias
demonstrated the thrift of many of our
members.
Xew Plan Popular One
"In the past there has been no way
for the man with a small amount of
money to become the owner of stock
of this kind, but since the inuguration
of a plan by which It can be bought on
small monthly payments, he is placed
in an entirely different position and
we expect that the future will see the
employe stockholders occupy a very
important position.
"If the employes of our railroad i
company owned every share of out- |
standing stock, each employe would
only own, on an average, sixty-four
shares, and many of- them own more
than that number now. We believe the
time will come when ours, the great
est of all railroads, will largely be the
property of its employes. Thj®.., al }

BIG RAIL ORDERS
Reading Approves New Equip
ment Plans Announced
Several Days Ago
Orders for Pennsylvania and Read
ing railroad equipment to cost about
$4,500,000 were placed yesterday with
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania manu
facturing plants. The Pennsylvania
system ordered 68,332 tons of steel
rails for delivery in 1918 and the
Reading contracts called for 45 loco
motives. The steel rail order of the
Pennsylvania compares with a total
of 205,000 tons contracted for to be
delivered in 1917, the great cutting
down of the sie of the order being
caused by the high price now being
charged for steel rails.
Rail* For Linos East
Of the 191 Border 41,666 tons are
for the requirements of the lines east
of Pittsburgh and 26,666 tons for the
lines west. These amounts cover not
only the directly operated lines of the
Pennsylvania system, but also the
New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk
Railroad, Cumberland Valley Railroad
and Long Island Railroad, affiliated
lines operated under separate man
agements.
The contracts given out by the
Reading anticipated one week ago pro
vide for the building by the Baldwin
company of five Mallet locomotives
and 20 other heavy freight engines
and tho construction at the Reading's
own shops of ten. passenger locomo
tives of the Pacific type and ten heavy
switching engines. The cost of all will
be in the neighborhood of $1,500,000,
the prices being wel advanced from
those of last year.
Passenger locomotives which cost
SIB,OOO several years ago now cost as
much as $42,000, while switch engines
that then cost around $12,000 now
cost $27,000.

MAYOR TO PROBE
ALLEGED GRAFTING
Reading Executive Calls on
Editor McCormick to Name
Letter Writer
Reading, Pa., March B.—ln an ef
fort to compel William McCormick,
editor and publisher of a local news
per, to reveal the name of the man
who charges members of the Reading
police force with accepting bribes to
protect disorderly houses, Mayor Fil
bert caused a resolution to be Intro
duced In council yesterday calling on
McCormick to give the name of "West
Reading X," the writer of a communi
cation published on February 28. The
resolution was passed unanimously,
even Councilman Ruth, who has been
friendly to McCormlck's newspaper,
voting for the measure.
The Mayor said he will welcome any
information that he can use in prose
cuting any police officials or employes
who may be guilty.
"I am going the limit in trying to
find out if any one is accepting protec
tion money," he said. "I am not going
to stop with this resolution, for X re
gard the charge is an attempt to be
little the administration."
The Mayor's first demand on Mc-
Cormick for information was made on
March 1. McCormick, a former Har
rlsburger and relative of Vance Mc-
Cormick, promised to supply the name
"when he got the writer's consent."
The publication alleged that a num
ber of proprietors of disorderlv houses
were paying from S3O to SSO for pro
tection.
A marked change in attitude toward
the Mayor has been noticed in the last
few days. The hostile section of the
press Is more moderate in tone, and
one newspaper praises him for stop
ping an objectionable show planned by
local amateurs.

York Man Discusses the Man-*
ncr in Which Farmers In
crease Their Crops
"Things which seem to Indicate!
what is going on in our soils cams
under my observation during the last
season," says Franklin Menges, soil
and crop expert of the Department
of Agriculture. "A sod field was plow
ed for wheat or fallowed for wheat
early in July in Somerset county, and.
after plowing, frequently harrowed
and rolled until the seed bed was
about Ideal. Early In September this
land was seeded with wheat, the Indi
ana red waive, and during the fall the
seed showed more than normal vigor
and went into winter in splendid con
dition.
"Early in the spring when the snow
disappeared, the wheat came out a
dark green with f£w of the leaves v
frozen back, so that It was not nec-.
essary for new leaves to start as 19
the case when wheat grows up lux
uriant and sappy In the fall. In this
way the growth made in the fall was
not lOBt, but leaves and roots were in
healthy condition, so as soon as the
frost was out of the ground and the
sun rays had warmed the soil suffic
iently for some of the fertility In the
plowed down organic matter of the
clover and timothy sod to be made
available, and enabled the leaves of
the wheat plant to become active and
take up carbon dioxide out of the
air, growth began. Not a languid, sa
pient, indifferent growth but a vigor*
ous, overcoming obstacles growth,
which continued throughout the sea
son and made a crop of wheat yield
ing forty-five bushels per acre, rather
an abnormal yield for this section or
for that matter any section of this
country.
"Wheat had been raised in this
field In the regular rotation for sixty
nnd more years and never before did
It make such a yield."
