DRIFT OF STEEL TRADE TO LOWER SCALE UNCHECKED Reduction of Working Forces Very Slight From Week to Week—Small Buying Movement Might Bring a Turn for the Better New York, Ocf. 16.—"The Iron Ape" say? that while the drift of the steel trade to a lower scale of opera tion? is still unchecked, it is to be not ed that the reduction of working forces is very slight from week to week. This gives ground for the opinion that even a small buying movement might bring a turn for the better. As the belief grows that the war will last much longer than has been com monly thought, its disastrous effects on New York, Ocf. 16.—"The Iron Age" says that while the drift of the steel trade to a lower scale of opera tions is still unchecked, it is to be not ed that the reduction of working forces is very slight from week to week. This gives ground for the opinion that even a small buying movement might bring a turn for the better. As the belief grows that the war will last much longer than has been com monly thought, its disastrous effects on American trade are more thought of, with less disposition among steel manu facturers to count on large exports help out a home situation that was bad before the war came. The course of the British iron indus try, for example, has been disappoint ing. There has been a curtailment of i blast furnace steel works and rolling; mill operations there, iu the face of the cutting off of imports from Germany, which means that little business can be done in England by American steel com panies. That British steel exports have suffered more than was looked for has caused much uneasiness. Low prices | have resultedk One British rail mill has taken 30)000 tons of Australian! rails and another 20,000 tons for South Africa against keen competition from, Canada and presumably from this coun try. tn spite of duplications in published reports of export business, the orders for wire products takeu bv Pennsylva nia and Ohio mills have reached a good total. In the past two weeks 12.0001 tons of barb wire have been sent abroad and more of this business is pending, including 3,000 tons for| France. A Youngstown mill has sold; 3.000 tons of wire rods for prompt j shipment to England. With little new buying, the various I lines of finished products are affected' much alike. Prices for all are weak' and any sales of bars, plates and shapes at 1.20 c. would mean 1915 delivery. For this year 1.15 c. is done, and on plates the equivalent of 1.10 c., Pitts-1 burgh, in the Chicago and I'eutral Western districts. On bar iron 1.05 c. and Ic. quotations by Chicago district mills continue to be heard. Apart from a Nashville, Chattauooga 4: St. l-iouis inquiry for 1,000 box cars,' and that of the Northern Pacific for ! 1.000 steel underframes, % car works see j no promise of business. ' Chicago re ports a Western road in the market for 5,000 toes of rails, while sales there; are a beggarly 1,500 tons. The Bridge Builders' & Structural' Society reports that contracts taken 1 by the bridge and structural shops of 1 the«counfry in September amounted to 38.5 per cent, of a month's capacity,; against 27.5 per cent, in August.

Our IAHKIOII cable notes an uncon ; firmed report of America'n sheet bar 'sales in Great Britain. Prices of semi, finished steel in the Central West have weakened to S2O for billets and $20.30 for sheet bars at Pittsburgh and $19.50 and S2O respectively at Youngstown. In cast iron pipe, competition is sharper. A Cleveland water works contract for 3,250 tons was taken at $21.20, delivered. Southern pipe mak ers are encouraged at the prospect of getting Pacific Coast business with an $S rate via Panama Canal, as against sl3 heretofore. Foundry pig iron, added to the vicis situdes of many months, has now to contend with new low prices for cast scrap. The cheapness of the latter has led foundrvmeii to use increasing ; amounts in their mixtures, so that the consumption of foundry iron has fallen off considerably. Some inquiry has ap peared in the Central West for foundry iron for first quarter delivery, but mak i ers are unwilling to quote to-day's prices. Cincinnati reports two sales 'amounting to 5,000 tons for this year | and early 1915. An inquiry for 1,000 tons of South ern iron couies from Italy, which has | just bought 500 tons.

CARDEN INTERVIEW OEM ED Criticism of President's Mexican Policy Repudiated Washington, Oct. 16. —Sir Lionel Garden has repudiated the interview I ascribed to him upou his sailing from New York recently, in which he was; i said to have reflected severely upon ! President Wilson's policy in regard to. Mexico. The repudiation came to the State Department through Ambassador Page | jin Liondon, who had inquired of the I ! British Foreign Office as to the au-' thentk'ity of the interview. Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Minister, told Mr. Page that while Sir Lionel had submitted to an interview regarding conditions in Mexico as he left them, he had not reflected in any i way upon the policy of President Wii-j son. It was intimated at the State Depart-! ment that this closed the incident.

VOLUME OF TEXAS RIVERS Amount of Water Flowing In Streams of Rio Grande Basin Washington, D. C., Oct. 16. —The de , termination of the amount of water flowing in the streams of ithe Rio Grande basin, which covers the greater part of New Mexico, large areas in southern Colorado and a considerable territory in Texas and old Mexico, is , j of' unusual importance to that region, which is for the most part an arid 'agricultural country, entirely depend ent on its streams for irrigation. Water Supply Paper 328, just issued by the United States Geological Sur ' | vey, contains records for 1912 of the discharge of the Rio Grande and its principal tributaries, together with that of Brazos river and Colorado river ; of Texas. The data are of international impor , tance, for it is alleged that the in equitable diversion of the water in | both Colorado and New Mexico has de stroyed large agricultural values in 1 Mexico. < ertain issues have also aris j en between the States of New Mexico and Colorado because the people of New Mexico contend that a dispropor tionate part of the water of the Rio I Grande originating in Colorado is di j verted in that State, to the detriment lof interests in New Mexico. These in- I ternational and interstate complications . are now beiug iuvestigated undeP com j pet en t authority, and the results of the stream-flow measurements con ! taiued in this report of the Geological I Survey constitute a part of the evi dence that will be used in the final de | cisions. In addition to the results pro cured by the Suivey in co-operation : with the States of New Mexico and j Colorado, the report contains records of the discharge of the Rio Graude prop er, obtained by the International : Boundary Commission, the stations at which the measurements were made be ; ing at El Paso, Presidio, Langtrj*. ! Devils River, Eagle I'ass Laredo, j Roma and Brownsville, all in Texas.

(How ard charged his misfortune to a care less and negligent vaccination by a municipal physician. Howard, with 3,500 residents in the district bounded by Parrish street, Gi rard avenue, Thirteenth street and Broad street, sunmitted to inoculation so that he could get out of the quaran tine that the Board of Health had es tablished during a smallpox scare in May, 1910. His leg was amputated as a result of an infection which began in an arm and was due, it was charged, to the negligence of the city's physician. Howard testified that the doctor rubbed the wound with his finger, which was not clean. In addition to denying the charge of carelessness, the city's counsel disclosed that the plaintiff wiis employed in a ! veterinary hospital and that he went to i work immediately after the vaccination and performed his duties among d.s --1 eased animals with his shirt sleeves rolled up and the inoculated arm ex posed. The case will be taken to the j Supreme Court. Mrs. Splurge—l just 'hope those Oheeplings from their seat in the bal conv will see us in this box. Splurge—Thev will.

THINK HARD It Pays to Think About Food The unthinking life some people lead often causes trouble and sickness, il lustrated in the experience of this lady. "About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities. This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly 1 could scarcely walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to regain breath and strength. "I became alarmed and tried dieting, wore my clothes very loose, and used other remedies, but found no relief. "Hearing of the virtues of Grape- Nuts and Postuin, I commenced using them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes or hot biscuit, and in one week's time I was relieved of sour stom ach and other ills attending indigestion. In a month's time my heart was per forming its functions naturally and I could climb stairs and hills and walk long distances. "I gained ten pounds in this short time, and my skin became clear and I completely regained my health and strength. 1 continue to use Grape-Nuts and Postum for I feel that I owe my good health entirely to their use. I "I like the delicious flavour of Grape-Nuts and by making Postum ac cording to directions, it tastes similar to mild high grade coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battje Creek, Mich.

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de stroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It in gently with the finger tips. Do this to-night, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applica tions will completely dissolve and en tirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much danil ruff you may have. You will find too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to preserve your hair, ic them for general debility, nervous prostration, niei.tal depression and unstrung nerves caused by over-indulgence in alcohol, tobacco, or overwork of any kind.
