STEEL TRADE EXPANDING Larger Mills R mining orv Greater Percentage or Capacity Wire Products Higher and Orders Taken for Kails. NEW YORK. Jan. 15. Continued im provement in the investment situation was shown todav In the increased demand lor listed and unlisted bonds and notes at higner quotations. Other developments were tne confirmation of a "credit loan" to the Rus sian, government, receipt of a moderate amount of gold from China, which was di verted from indon because of the war. and the exportation of a nominal amount 01 French gold from London to this country. The Russian loan, which amounts to $1.. 000.000. takes the form of a short terra note purchase, the proceeds remaining m this country for buying of supplies. Betterment In the steel trade was re ported by authorities In that Industry, the most important mills running- at larger percentage of their capacity. This is par tially neutralized, however, by "'age " .1 Justmenta affecting principally the highest paid laborers. One of the United States Steel subsidiaries announced advances In wire products, and rallmaklng was stimulated by orders from the New York Central, Now Haven and Reading roads. , Official figures dealing with our foreign trade show a handsome gain of exports over Imoorts for the Inst calendar week, the ex cess amounting to over $35,000,000. Stoc'is inclined from an irregular tone to gradual heaviness, most Important issues showins not losses. Trading was relatively light. Pressed Steel Car and a lew other Specialties declined abruptly. Bonds held their recent fnins on a fair amount of Imsiness. Total sales, par value. $2,002,000. I nlted States Government bonds were unchanged on call. Restoration of arbitrage dealings between New York and European markets, under re strictions to be defined at a later date, was approved todav by the governors of the New York Stock Exchange. All such operations are to be for Joint account, thereby impos ing equal responsibility upon buyer and seller. Renewal of this class of trading is regarded as further evidence of the progress toward normal conditions in the relations be. tween this and foreign securities markets.

W. ilk select ed, the wrong time yesterday to inform the City Council that the unemployed who are housed temporarily in a build ing at Second and Everett streets will work, but not for less than union wages and not more than union hours. On the strength of a bold declaration to this effect outlined in a petition sent to the Council signed by 704 of the "un employed," the Council held up an ordi nance appropriating 300 to pay the rent and fuel bill of the unemployed headquarters. The ordinance was up for final pas sage, having been prepared by the Council after statements made by va rious persons to the effect that the un employed who sleep and eat in the North End building are worthy for the most parL A number of I. W. W. agitators ap peared in the Council chamber yester day and. apparently not knowing that the appropriation ordinance was com ing up, gained the Council floor and presented the petition. It was signed bv 704 persons said to be inmates or the North End building. In the petit tion the declaration was made that statements to the effect that the men would not work were groundless. "W e, the undersigned, will work," the peti tion reads, "but not for less than union wages and not more than union hours." Protest is made against the Troy woodyard and the municipal wood yard at Beaverton. A few minutes af ter the "won't work" petition was pre sented the ordinance appropriating the $300 came up and was placed on the table.
