The track is a switch from the E., J. & K. and the material is to be hauled from the Wisconsin Steel company's yards in South Chicago. The work of laying the track Is completed to within a few hundred feet of Kuclid avenue. It is also being laid in Cedar street and ,Gary boulevard.

"Tlore emphasis has been put thi.j

(Special to The Times.)

East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 1. It has been learned that the detinning concern to whom was recently sold a tract of fifteen acres at 151st street and the canal Is the Goldschmidt Detinning Co., with headquarters in Chrome, N. J., and another plant In Germany: Work has already been begun, the rfartigan Teaming company having put a force of teams and men on the job to do the grading. A track is being laid which will be used to haul in material for the construction of the plant. The track is to be a permanent one for use subsequently as a switch track for the hauling of material to be worked up in the establishment. Frommann & Jebsen, architects. 505 Schiller building, Chicago, have received the rough drafts of the buildings, two in number, and will get to work immediately to perfect these plans In detail. This firm will have entire charge of the construction work which will be rushed to the earliest possible completion. The plant will cost 9100,000, both buildings to be of brick and steel. One of the buildings will be the plant in which the main work will be done, while the second structure will be used as offices and laboratory. This building will be three stories. The' firm has a contract for the entire scrap output of the American Can company in Maywood, which amounts to 4,000 tone a month.

It comes from an aut lioritative source that the I'nited Slates Steel Corporation is shading in prices, contrary to public announcement, and is in consequence getting a larger volume of orders. This appears to be one of the few encouraging things in the general outlook at this time. The fact that the corporation is seeking new business along moderately competitive lines, and getting it, will have a beneficial influence on sentiment when the amount of unfilled tonnage is reported. There is no suggestion of a price war, but competitors have for a long time been adapting their prices more

I nearly to the demand than has the steel corporation. A little unbending should do no harm, but on the contrary encourage a movnent in trade.
