have also been a factor. "Our Chicago report calls attention to the railroad specifications there, which have been on a larger scale than for aome time. In track fastenings counting in current orders there were 30,000 kegs on the east bridge work on which the Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western and New York Central will take bids, amount to about ,600 tons, and the Lackawanna has let a contract for 2,200 tons. "Apart from railroad buying, how ever, current demand Is not Important, though it should be said that some of the steel companies have found reasons in the past fortnight for rather brighter forecasts. There have been occasional reports of cancellations in bars, and they are verified to this extent. "Two mills have been getting basics with the promise of thirty-day deliv eries. A few buyers, chiefly jobbers. have placed such early delivery orders and have made corresponding reductions in the total of their specifications with other mills. "The- one definite change In finished material prices is an advance of about l a ton In steel merchant pipe -and line pipe. The last similar advance made 'on April 12 was designed as an antidote for the cutting that had been prevailing for some time. In the wire trade a like expedient had been resorted to, but wire manufacturers still have the price problem with them in view of the slow movement of their products. Prices of plates and structural steel as with those for steel bars are maintained on contract business, but earlier deliveries are possible in plates and shapes particularly the latter. MASONS CONSIDER SITESFOR HOME Indianapolis. Ind., May 29. The problem of a location for the proposed Masonic home, for which a large amount of money already has been col lected, waa taken up by the Indiana grand lodge of Masons at the Masonic temple yesterday. The failure of the trustees of the grand lodge to recommend a Bite left the full responsibility .with the grand lodge. Five minutes waa alotted to a representative for each city desiring the location of the home to present the advantages and . the offers of his home city. Jeftersonville, Crawfordsvllle, Rushvllle, Franklin, Zionsvllle, and Bedford were active in the contest. Jeffersonvllle had much to offer, because with the location of the home at that city, on account of a bequest of property valued at from $225,000 to $275,000 by James A. Holt,' formerly a member of Clark lodge No. 40, to be used for the establishment of a Ma sonic home, an income of between $16,000 and $17,000 a year from this estate would be assured. The Clark lodge has obtained options on suitable sites for the home near the Ohio river. The trustees said they would "hesi tate to recommend any other place were Jt not for the fact that we recognize a very strong sentiment against locating the home so far from the cen tcr of the state; so that In this report we do not recommend any place, but have presented the facts to each so that the grand lodge may determine from these facts what should be done.
