HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9. 1914. CONTRACTION IN VOLUME 1 OF ORDERS CONTINUES Steel Corporation's Un&lled Orders Ex pected to Show Large Reduction for September—New Orders Fell Off Last Week The ''lron Age" says: Contraction in the volume of new orders for steel products continues. Its effect on the operation of mills has not been pro nounced thus far, though in some lines specifications also are falling off con siderably, but it is plain that running schedules must be cut down more be fore they improve. The Steel Corporation's total of un filled orders which will be published this week is expected to show a large reduction for September. l>ast week us ingot production was at 60 per cent, of capacity, and this has been substantial ly the rale for several weeks. New or ders have fallen off sharply with all steel companies in the first week of Oc tober. Some have booked at 25 per cen,. of capacity this month; in the Chicago district the rate lias been but little over 10 per cent. Following the record of the year, another buying movement would be due in December. The preceding ones were January-Feb ruary and .lune-July. The posting of the required 90-day notice of wage readjustment bv the Carnegie Steel Company has been wide ly interpreted as pointing to a general reduction. The fact'is tnat, while for merly this notice was given each year, whether reductions were made or not, it has been omitted for two or three years anil now its posting is resumed, l'or the Steel Corporation the statement has been made that it has not now any intention of reducing wages. Publications of specific export orders lor steel in the past week have includ ed much guesswork. Other weeks since the war opened have had larger totals, but the volume is still good. Thus far none of the expected 100,000 tons of sheet bars for Great Britain has come to this country. Wire rod and wire business has been notable. Ruropean governments have ordered on a consid erable scale in several lines, and the machine tool trade has been particularly encouraged bv these orders. Plate mills have been the hardest hit t\v the stagnation in railroad and other home-buying and there is a larger per centage of idle plate capacity than in any other line. At Chicago prices have got to a I.loc Pittsburgh basis, and 1.15 c Pittsburgh can readily be had in the Kast. The two battleships 011 which bids were opened this week will each require 13,000 to 14,000 tons of plates. The Lackawanna's latest rail order, about 13,000 tons, has been virtually closed, going to an eastern Pennsyl vania and a New York State mill. The Southern railway will buy 3,500 tons additional. For the present the C. H. j & D. orders for 2,000 cars reported placed some weeks ago are held up for lack of financing. Scattering inquiries for galvanized sheets for South Africa, India, China, | Cuba and the Philippines is an inter esting feature as the home market drags. In the tube trade, with merchant de mand still halting, two line contracts have been taken—lo miles of 6-inch pipe for the Greensboro Natural Gas Company in Pennsylvania and live miles of 10-inch for the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company. Pig iron production fell off in Sep tember, the total being 1,882,57 7 tons, or 62,753 tons a day, against 1,995,- 261 tons, or 64,363 tons a day, in Au gust. There, waj a net loss of 11 fur naces and the capacity active October I 1 was 60,427 tons a day, the smallest I since July, 1911. Merchant furnaces j turned out 16,409 tons a day in Sep-j tember, which is their smallest rate in | three years. J. BORDEN HARRIMAN DYING Former New York Banker in State of Coma Many Hours Mt.

Moon Theories There is a theory that the circular, crater like Mountains of the Moon are not of volcanic origin, but are the re sult of the moon's being hit by plan etoids. Another theory is to the ef fect that the earth was at one time en circled by a ring similar to that which now encircles Saturn and that this gradually coalesced, gathering first around a large number of nuclei and finally uniting in a single sphere—the moon. 7
