STEEL TRADE PROSPECTS
SEEM TO BE BRIGHTENING
Further Kail Orders Given Out In the
West Tend to Increase Optimistic
View of the Situation in the Iron
Industry
New York, Jan. 29. —"The Iran]
lAg<>" says: On the whole the reverts ;
iroiu works give rather a hotter a*
»ount of the steel trade than current i
tales. But it is to be noted that mills
iiave been shutting down anil resuming,
•mi that only the resumptions get pub
licity.
The Stefcl Corporation s report of
$10,900,000 earning in the last quar
ter of 1914. or $2,500,000 loss than
the previous low record, in 190-4, shows
that the last two months of the year
were worse than was generally known
lit the time. The figures should serve |
to cheek the tendency in some quarters i
to take too favorwble a view ot Janu
ary conditions, for it has been a creep
ing improvement and nothing more.
Some further rail orders have been
given out —close to 75.000 tons iu the
west, of which 4 0.000 tons weut to the
Colorado mill, made up of 20.000 tons
for the Missouri Pacific and 10,000
tons each tor the Burlington and the;
3\io Grande. The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois bought 15.000 tons and the
Vnion Pacific 10,000 tons. The Tur
lington has placed another supplemental
order of 5,000 tons at Chicago. The
ISt. Paul and the Rook Island are in
«)uiring for about 2 5.000 tous. Eastern
mills have taken 15,000 tous for the
(Boston and Maine; the lnterborough is
41 sking for 5,000 tons and the N'ew
"York, Ontario and Western for 3,500 j
tons.
In the export trade the chief item ;
is the booking of 10,000 tous of rails j
J'or the Chilean State railways. Prance!
B\as bought 10,000 tons in England and!
•Germany has an order from Sweden for !
15,000 tons. In spite of high freights j
pome business in semi finished steel for |
[England lias been taken here, including ;
S.OOO tous of billets which the Teu
nessoo Company will roll. In wire and
shrapnel bars the export demand seems
to have subsided. The French recon
struction of bridges, investigation by
American structural mills show, will
Jargelv await the ending of the war. j
Uteel for smaller repairs lias been
jilaced in England.
Recent rail orders will give the Gary
in ill work for two months, and in view
of its starting up on February S one
of the idle blast furnaces there has
I>een Mown in. The Stool Corporation
is also to blow in this week a furnace
at Lorain. Ohio, and two in the Pitts
burgh district. Active ingot capacity
of the corporation is now close to 50
j>er cent.
In structural work a somewhat bet
ter prospect is indicated. About 3 7.-
000 tons is represeniel iu live ;rojects
in the east, including 15.000 tons for
the Pennsylvania railroad and 13,000
tous for third tracking of elevated rail- ;
roads in Brooklyn. For track eleva- :
tion at Indianapolis 20,000 tons will
l'e required and bids are being made on
0,300 tons for a bridge in Vancouver.
Pipe line work has come in well.
"With 155 miles of S-inch pipe for the
Petroleum Company and 2fi
miles of S-inch pipe for a gas company
in Oklahoma, the total recently closed
is fully 1.000 miles.
With a total of eleven vessels now
under contract, three about to be pla.-ed
f in! others pending, eastern shipyards
look forward to one of their busiest
years, apart from the government 's na
val program that will come later.
Galvanized sheets have already ad
vanced $3 a ton. or to 2.90 c. for No.
28. due to the sharp rise in spelter, and
sellers of sheets are none too readv to
quote this figure.
SUNDAY'S VOICE is FAILING
Evangelist to Undergo Surgical Opera
tion About February i)
J Philadelphia. Jan. 29.—"8i11y"
Sunday's voice is giving out under the
strain of his taberuade tirades, and
his throat is in such condition that it
has been found necessary to have re
course to surgical means to prevent last
ing impairment of his vocal chords.
The operation will be performed at
Sunday's home at 1914 Spring Garden
street, on February 9 by Dr. Goehring,
of Pittsburgh, who has attended the
evangelist ;n previous campaigns in
other cities.
Under the stress of his daily decla
mations, Sunday's voice began to give
out a week or so ago, and lost much of
its carrying power, according to Dr.
Drew, the evangelist's personal physi
cian. Recently the evangelist has been
forcing his voice, and the trouble has
become accentuated. Last night, after
his two sermon-, it was painful for Sun
day to talk.
"The operation will be oniv a minor
one," declared Dr. Drew, "and Air.
Sunday may not even miss a sermon
if things go as we expect."

appropriation for further experiments.
One of three shells fired at 10,000

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR
Soap should be used very sparing- >
ly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most ■
soaps and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This drirfS the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
I ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
i .just ordinary mulsilied eoeoanut oil
! I which is pure and greaselesst, is
| cheaper and better than soap or anv
-1 thing else you cau use.
One or two tpnspoonfuls will
i cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with i
! water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing I
i every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves th<,
<calp soft, and the hair tine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
Sou can get mulsitied eoeoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and a few ounces .
will supply every member of the '
I family for months.
