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.

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.
