' p ; i : Periodically the Steel corporation has been making public the aggregate of orders on its books. We will say that the steel plate tonnage1 of the books of the company on Jan. of this year was 800,000 tons and the base was price of steel plate at the time nawould belief $1.60 Pittsburg. The orders turally prevail that these were to forced be would that the purchaser accept at the price named, within a certain period. But this is not the case. The consumer is not forced to take any of the tonnage ordered at the prevailing price. Only the amount he orders for delivery. Consequently, the old orders on the books of the steel companies that are members of the various associations do not now represent the margin of profit many people believe they do, for the simple reason that consumers are privileged. to have it delivered under the lower prices that now prevail. The reduction in the prices of steel products has thereby started the movemtnt of the old tonnage booked. Consumers that believed that prices were too high are now ordered deliveries at the low figures. Specifications for new business will naturally come in rapidly on a basis of the lower price schedules and the tonnage booked will grow in consequence. Leading steel men estimate that the number of heretofore idle steel workers who have within ten days been given steady work in the Pittsburg district and elsewhere, is not less than 70,000 and this number may be too . - low. This increase brings the total of steel workmen now employed, excepting here and there a few sporadic strikes; to about 85 per cent, which compares with about 70 per cent a month ago. d It is the belief of trade men that the gain thus made will be held at least until the close of the year. It is apparent that many of the new orders upon vrhich the various mills are working call for deliveries some time in the fourth quarter of this year, or in the first quarter of 1905, which means that the mills must turn out the products as soon as possible. Contracts like the big one the Carnegie Steel company secured from Japan insure steady work for a consder-abl- e period and at as lively a rate as the specifications can be secured. There is a well defined belief that the railroad orders for equipment and for track and bridge supplies will come in at a steady rate after Oct. 1 and that this new business will be. supplemented in the new year by rush or- - Examiner. The Tribune every day is filled with slur and innuendo and is continually harping on the lack of ability on Mr. Cutlers part to discharge the. duties of the high office of governor. We submit that this is hardly fair, coming as it does from the personal organ of the distinguished senior senator from Utah, who has a national reputation for statesmanship and oratory. Of course, it is natural for a man of such transcendent genius and such ripe scholarship as the senior senator possesses to hold the mortal in contempt ordinary every-dabut at the same time it hardly comports with the. chivalry of a great mind to fling at and slur those who are less gifted by nature and who have been less fortunate in having oppor-- . tunity to acquire knowledge. We hope the senior senator has not personally directed these attacks as it lowers him in our estimation to engage in such petty I I . k. i 'I. t I VII ST. LOUIS RETURN GO VIA i r s .
