URBACH’S
RAILROADS PREPARE FOR HUGE
VOLUME OF FREIGHT—AGRI
CULTURE STRONG
NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (>P)—The posi
tion of steel, the most widely consult
ed barometer of American business in
activity will be maintained at a record
dicates today that general business
breaking level well into 1926. Steel
production in the Pittsburgh district
which has averaged around 80 per cent
of capacity has increased this week.
The Carnegie Steel Company has
topped 77 per cent. Jones and Laugli
lin, leading independents, are running
at 85. Production of sheet mills in
that district as approaching 85 per
cent. The plate mills are operating
at 80 to 85 and wire and pipe plants
are well above 70 per cent.
Prices in nearly all lines are firm.
Rivets have advanced $2 per ton, and
cold rolled strips S3 a ton at Pitts
burgh. The high price of tin which
is hovering around the high water
mark for the year has caused consid- :
erable talk of higher tin plate prices >
but best judges assert the S5.50 fig- :
ure is likely to remain unchanged. The !
bright prospects of the canning in- :
dustry are indicated by the fact that ;
the orders placed by leading can com
panies with producers of tin plate \
show they expect to do even larger ,
business than in 1925. :
The American Sheet and Tin Plate '
company is already assured of prac
tically capacity operation for the first !
half of 1926. The railroads are pre
paring to handle a record volume of :
freight. Agriculture is strong steel ,
farm equipment being sold with in- :
creasing liberality. <
AN OUTBURST OF ENTHUSIASM
.tourists visiting Seward in the sum
mer season marvel at the wonderful
scenery glimpsed from Harding En
trance on into the port of Seward, yet
;f those same visitors could only see
Resurrection Bay at this time of the
season, they would be enraptured with
the marvelous change. The gleaming',
white capped mountain range flowing
for miles on either side of the bay
with the evening sun’s rays reflected
from the rugged and towering crags,
makes even the old time residents
wonder. As a whole winter in Alaska
is looked forward to as much as
spring time. If it wasn’t for the ex
ceptional contrast, neither would be
appreciated.
