The fact that new orders for roll ed steel have exceeded shipments in the past three weeks at a number of Central Western plants has led to more selective policy by sellers, and both in export and domestic business bidding in some lines is more restricted. Wire products, sheets, tin plates, bars and pipe still lead in activity. In sheets and tin plates some sellers have booked in the first half of July nearly double the orders taken in the full month of June. It is estimated that this year's tin plate production will amount to 70 per cent of last year's output. R. R. Buying Delayed Railroad buying is still delayed and a number of plate mills are waiting for business, but If railroads and shipyards add their require ments later in the year the situation in heavier products may develop in teresting possibilities. Labor sup ply and coke supply may then prove to be pivotal factors. The Washington hearing on the proposal to establish Chicago dis trict basing prices indicated that the Federal Trade Commission in vestigation will be far Teaching and may require months. The outcome may be f. o. b. mill quotations which will affect the competitive situation in all steel-consuming industries east of the Mississippi. Boston Transportation Is Completely Tied by Strike By Associated Press. Boston, July 17.—Car service on the street, subway and elevated lines here and in 12 adjacent cities and towns was tied up yesterday by a strike of 8,000 union employes of the Boston Elevated Railways system. Thousands of workers walked from suburban homes while scores of extra "shuttle" trains and added coaches on the regular trains on the Boston'and Maine, Boston und Albany, and New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail roads, were brought Into service. Com mercial and industrial concerns were handicapped by depleted forces, as thousands of employes were forced to remain away during the early hours for lack of transportation. The strike was called as 'a protest against alleged delay on the part of the war labor board in announcing an award in the wage dispute between the company and the car men. The strik ers demand an eight-hour day and a wage of 73 1-2 cents an hour. These demands were rejected by the public jtrustees of the railway.

Favor Corporation to Finance Equipment Many railroads are in favor of the plan of the railroad executives to form a $280,000,000 corporation to finance the equipment allocated to them by the Railroad Adminis tration, although some objection was made to the high rate of 6 per cent, proposed by the govern ment on the sums due. One dis senting road is the Delaware, Lack awanna & Western, whose financial position is said to be so strong that it will be able to finance its re quirements without leaning upon the proposed corporation.
