P.R.R.& SBRAPNEL ORDERS 1 HELP BIG STEEL CONCERNS Canadian Oar ft Foundry Company Gets 980,000,000 Contract From 3 Bffassia —Pennsy's Move for Equip ment Wakes T/p Other Ballroads New York, April 23.—"The Iron Age'' says tho Pennsylvania Rail- 1 road's announcement that it is about : to buy or build 16,500 cars and 194 ' locomotives and tho tentative placing ] in this country of further large sec tions of the Canadian Car & Foundry Company's $80,000,000 shrapnel con tract have been the main contributions of the week to the news of better busi ness. There is also the expectation i that the Pennsylvania rail order will soon be distributed, adding 150,000 tons or more to the 20,000 tons already placed. There are signs that other railroads are getting more alive to the low prices car and locomotive companies would make just now, and the steel trade looks for further developments in this direction. How far tho large war contracts the equipment companies are now figuring on might affect deliv eries of new cars that may be wanted by fall, iB a factor not entirely over- i looked. Of the $80,000,000 Canadian con tract for Russia, it is now known that over $20,000,000 has been sublet in this country and that $20,000,000 more is nearly closed. Much less clear is the status of other pending business, involving mailt millious, presumably for Great Britain. Actual exports of iron and steel grow slowly, February showing a total of 145,000 tons for products reported by weight, against 140,000 tons in Janu ary. The rate of orders lately should give a 200,000-ton month soon. It is noticed this month that foreign in quiries aro from a variety of new sources in neutral countries and the prices renlized are often higher than on home business. Ocean transport is a serious factor in business with Europe. Sweden wants American pig iron, but 80 shillings is asked for vessel room. Inquiries for thousands of tons of pig iron have come up, including 12,000' tons for Italian Government works and large amounts, of hematite, for England, but little is put through. A radiator com pany has bought 6,000 tons of mal leable pig iron at Buffalo for shipment to its plant at Hull, England. The Lake Superior iron-ore market has been opened for 1915 by sales of Mesaba non-Bessemer and of old-range Bessemer ores in the past few days, the total thus far being less than 1,- 000,000 tons.' Prices, as expected, arc the same as in 1914—a basis of $3.75 at lower lake port for old-range Besse mer, $3.50 for Mesaba Bessemer, $3 for old-range non-Bessemer and $2.85 for Mesaba non-Bessemer. Vessel rates aro also the same as last year's. The volume of new buying in fin ished lines continues to be less than in j March. Shipments by some steel com panies are less, also; by others sub stantially the same. Tlie handling of the price situation in bars, shapes and plates lias been apparently more ef fective from the producer's standpoint than at other times when demand was not equal to capacity. In bars particu larly, the 1.20 c., Pittsburgh, price has been established, and in the past week several producers have named 1.25 c. as their price for third quarter shipments. This applies also to plates and struc j turnl shapes. ' In the Pittsburgh and Valley dis | triets the sheet bar market has quieted down lately after the active buying |by sheet mills which had been idle in I the deadlock over wages. The foreign rail trade has shown a I good deal of life, but British rail mills j have had no hand in it, the Govern i ment having well-nigh monopolized j their output. The Tata works in India | have taken 14,000 tons for govern- I ment roads there and the Dominion j works in Nova Scotia are reported to | have sold 35,1)00 tons more for South Africa, making 65,000 tons in all. The Broken Hill Proprietary Company, New South Wales, will roll 9,000 tons for South Australia and probably 38,000 tons for New South Wales. In the do mestic market a 6,000-ton order for the Atlantic Coast Line has gone to the Tennessee Company and there have been scattering orders of 7,000 tons. The Chicago surface lines have placed 20,000 tons of girder rails with the Lo rain Steel Company. DOUBT FATAL ELECTRIC SPARK Coroner's Expert Thinks Pipe or Cigar More Likely I/ewistown, April 23. —The C'oro- S ner's jury rendered a verdict last night j that Homer B. Detra, Fred C. and Amos A. Shatzer, Abner H. Knepp and j James K. Gibboney, died from burns I incident to an explosion, the ccuse of | which is unknown. The five men lost their live* in an explosion of chemical paint used to dip wheels, in lieu of painting them, at the Standard steel works, on April 1. James Spicer, chemical engineer from the Department of Labor and Industry, testified that only a spark at incandescent heat could have ignit ed tho vapor generated by action of cold benzine in the boiling paint. The trend of sentiment appeared to favor a spark from a pipe, cigar or cigarette. ENTERTAIN COMMANDER Veterans of Foreign Wars Have Oen. John R.

WORKED UNTIL HE WAS 100 Thought Some One Else Might Need Job—Temperance His Recipe St. Paul, April i2<3.—After worknig ninety years and having reached the age of 100, Edwin E. Fisher will step down and out to give his place to a younger man. Fisher has been employed as a pattern maker in a foundry on the West Side, and worked until five weeks ago, when the grip seized him and he had to lay off work. While taking this compulsory rest it dawned upon him that there were many in need of em ployment, while he, with no one de pendent upon him and with sufficient means to keep him, was still working from force of habit, keeping some de serving man out of a job. "How do you account for your longevity?" he was asked. "Temperance," he said. "There are more dangers from overeating than overdrinking. I have never done either. I eat what I want. I used tobacco for many years. When I thought that smoking was harming me I quit, but then I chewed worse than ever. When tho company that made my favorite brand was absorbed by the trust the dealer who supplied me said, 'That's your last plug,' and I took him at his word. I couldn't get my favorite and so. I let off altogether. Whiskey? A night cap does one good. No 'eyeopeu er,' thou'gh; that's <bad. No drinking during the day, but a drop on ret.ring is a good thing. "Yes, I am quitting work, although still able to hold my job. In the nature of things I can't live much longer. I don't fear death and it would do me j no good if I did. So I am just going to idle along for the few years that are remaining.''

Third St., next to Gorgas, Druggist H PAPERS WIN 1.1 BEL SLIT Jury Instructed to Find Verdict for Reading Journals Reading, Pa., April 23.—After one witness had been heard, Judge Wagner instructed the jury to find a ver dict for the defense in the suit for SIO,OOO damages for alleged libel brought by George D. Haagc, a local impresario, against the Reading Print ing Company and Alexandor Troup and Walter F, Dumser, publishers of the "Telegram" and "News-Times." The suit resulted from the publica tion of a review of a concert conducted •by Haagc, at which Francis Mac.Millen, the violinist, was the principal per former. Haage claimed that he was In jured to the extent of SIO,OOO through the publication of the criticism, which he termed malicious libel, inspired by the breaking off of business relations between himself and the defendant company.
