Stel Bniinegg Boominff. All stKns point toward the writing of new chap ters ln the history of steel and copper during the remainder of this year. Trio whole world in beKBlng these trades to accept enormous order. The making of more and mora materials ; of war, of course, account for tho bulk of the demand, but the normal industries of the countries outside the nones of war are calling for copper and steel in quantity, and the mines 1 and mills of tlie United Staten must i b? the bi-ni-ficiarles, because buyers , cannot go elsewhere to satisfy their ' needs. j The present situation, according to I steel and copper men. Is unite differ ent from thttt of two months an. Said , an officer of a leading steel company: ! "Forging billets are selling at $65 a ton In I'itisburg. The average prlco i for six months preceding the outbreak of the war was $:!.'. a ton. Steel bni'- are quoted at $2.60 per hundred pounds, asainst M.3.'i beforo the war began. Foreign buyers are taking j thousands upon thousands of tons of I these seml-f minlied commodities ac- cepllng uuotd prices without question and demanding only that deliveries I may be made quickly." !

In an editorial Ion "lieficleney of Kullway Equipment j in 1915," t lie Hallway Age Clazettn comments on the annual statistical ! statement of (lie Interstate Commerce commission hm lollo-ws: j "No 1 v; i 1 1; s 1 .1 11 illiif the natural 'growth in Uc demand for railway equipment ltotti year to year, there 'were at tl.r. close of tho fiscal year I 1915 7342 less freight cars In service I and 815 locomotives than were In serv- ice. at the close of 1914. On a theoreti cal basis, this falling off In equipment in 1915 is a reflection of a condition in support of whose existence no argu ment Is required. I'.tisiness In trans- portaton lines waa slack, Financial Aid Scares. But a eonsld i erable of the statistics from a prac j tical point of view Indicates another 1 reason why missing equipment num I bers, at least, have not boen filled. The I necessary financial resources have not been available. The railways are now enjoying a little prosperity. It may be only temporary. Hut they have the results of considerable periods of Pad business and of Ill-advised regulation to maJte up for. The average rate of dividend on all stock was less In 1915 'than in any year since 1900; and the percentage of all slock on which divi dends were paid waa also less than In any year In the same period. The amount of equipment for the handling business is shown by a correspond ingly bad record. It will take much longer than the present period of pros perity can be insured to last to bring 1 the equipment supply up to a fair nor mal for handling a normal business, mercantile Marine Readjustment.

Goods Trade Active. John V. Far- well eompuiiy of Chicago say in tha Weekly Review of Trade: Chicago wholesiile dry goods business lit been unusually active this wtck owing to the greutly increased number of buy; tr in marvel from all parts of tna country. The feature of the general market was the sudden and big advance In ci tton followed by to "ic advance on gray cotton goods. From present Indications tlmte will be a higher price level on pcrcultis and bleached good lor spring, 1S17. The fabrics and colors that will be ftiong sellers for fall and winter are well established as shown by garment exhibits at the style show and by he. attive demand of merchants now In market covering wants not taken Care of In early purchases. Good chiffon broadcloth and veloure both plain and fancy are the pro nounced sellers. There is also on un- j usual demand for plaids and checke ft.t skirtings As anticipated earlier j in the season f.n cent retailers in wool dress goods are scarce and buyers are picking, up Ihese goods w herever they can be found. White grounds with colored, i.lno black combinations, are looked upon with favor for spring, 1117. l'laid silks are selling freely and fancy .silks are holding a very prominent position in the fall demand. lyle tendencies emphasize the fact that lace in tinsel effects will play ft strong part in the gown trimming field. Sliver trimming on white net are the most popular with gold trim-., mlng on ecru as a close second. X.eoomotiTe Profit Heavy.
