CAR SHORTAGE HURTS STEEL

The car shortage is rapidly becoming a serious factor in the steel and iron Industry. Some of the mills complain that they are unable to deliver' their finished product according to contract, which Is adding to the general confusion and helping to retard the business. Bookings have been particularly heavy for some time, and, with the poor shipping facilities available the mills are working under additional handicap. So far traffic men In the Pittsburg district have been unable to get any satisfaction from railroad officers, but as the railroads will suffer to a large extent In the event of steel deliveries being held up H is believed that something will be done In the near future to relieve the congestion as far as this trade Is concerned. All of the various branches of the

I industry continue to report good busi

ness. New orders are still coming In in large volume and the books of a number of the smaller companies have been closed for the first quarter of the coming year. All Indications point to new production records for 1913, and unless new business becomes lighter practically al lof the mills will be booked ahead for the first half of next year by the first of January. Production is already ahead of 1911 and by the end of the year it is expected that the 3,000,000 ton mark in exports will have been reached. Much bars are In heavy demand and supply . Is small. Consumers are endeavoring to hold down prices, but it is thought that )3S a ton will soon be the general rate. Wrought Iron Is also being sought and this market Is un

usually active. A prominent buyer recently contracted for 60,000 tons of bessemer Iron for delivery during the first three months of next year. Plate

makers report that orders placed so far this week have been heavy and specifying against contracts continues at about the same rate as during the last two or three weeks. These mills have enough business in sight to keep them busy for the next six months. The railroads are a trifle slow in placing their orders for equipment for 1913, but some of the roads have entered the market and It Is expected that nearly all of them will do so within a short time. The railroad material plants In western Pennsylvania are booked to capacity up to the end of February, Structural plants r working on a full schedule and will probably continue to do so for some time. The pipe market is quiet, but orders already booked are keeping the mills busy and prices firm. Wire makers say that the market is in first class condition, with large bookings ahead.

SAFETY LOCKS FOR GARY SCHOOLS The Gary school board last night authorized the purchase of eighty safety padlocks for the Gary public schools. They will coit $50 each, The valuable feature about ths locks is that the locked doors can be instant ly opened from the Inside when slight pressure Is applied against the door. This is regarded as firs protection of unusual merit.
