Action Of Carnegie Company Follow
ed Ity Jones And LaughHn.
Pittsburg. Action taken by the
Carnegie Steel Company, In advanc
ing prices on merchant steel bars,
steel plates and structural shapes 1
a ton over the recent selling price,
which move was followed by the
Jones Laughlln Steel Company,
marked the end of the rate war In
the steel Industry.
The rise in prices Is taken to in
dicate that the big steel companies,
which have been engaging in a rate
war, have booked enough low price
orders to keep their mills In opera
:ion and that hereafter the prices on
steel products will Bteadlly advance.
The prices now asked are still below
:hose prevailing before the rate war
started. All the other American
manufacturers are expected to follow J
die example of the local concerns.
The demand for steel products has
shown such on Increase as a result
3t the reduced prices that some of
the Independents are now said to
be doing 80 per cent, of their normal
niisiness. The Lackawanna Steel
Company Is ono of them.
The advances will enable steel
manufacturers to make some profit
on their increased business. At the
prevailing schedules some of the
companies have suffered an actual
loss. Improvement, however, in
Bvery branch, but particularly In
structural steel, Is reported from all
luarters. The better conditions are
reflected in the stiffening of the
price of pig Iron, which has recent
y shown an advance of 50 cent's.
The only Inactive feature of the
ndustry is the steel rail business
n which no cut has been made, or
will be made. The railroads have
oeen holding off in the expectation
.hat a new tariff bill may lead to
some change In the arbitrary prlc?
:hat has been maintained for several
ears, but recent events In Washlng
:on have given thorn little hope. The
steel men haxe sent photographers
ill over the country to take pictures
if the roadbeds of the various rail
roads, and some of these pictures
show t'.i..' rails so badly worn that
:heir corporations will bo compelled
:o come into the market this season.
The United States Steel Corpora
tion, since its acquisition of the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company, has a
practical monopoly of the manufac
ture of steel rails, although some of
its rivals manufacture a moderate
smount of Uessemer rails. Aside
from the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company, only a few make open
hearth rails, which the Union and
Southern Pacific have adopted.

Says Foreign Missions Get Five Per
Cent. Of Contributions.
Reading. At a meeting of the
laymen of the Reformed Classls
held In St. John's Church, it was
announced that Reading was willing
to contribute her share ot the million
dollars which the Harrisburg Com

tion of ten million people. Prof. J.
H. Apple, of Fredericksburg, Md..
Bpoke directly on the "Laynien'b
Missionary Movement in the Reform
ed Church" and was very pointed in
his remarks. He said in part:
We fall In the habit of spending
elx days for ourselves and a few
hours on the seventh for the work
of the church. It has been shown
that 95 per cent, of the money rais
ed for missions is used at home and
five per cent, abroad."

woman in Scotland who had Just lost
her husband. He tried to speak con
solingly to her by pointing out that
the deceased was in a much happier
state.

both them off between the ankle and
the knee.
