Pittsburg.—Failure of the motor j industry to come through with r j shower of orders in June, ar had been anticipated, caused general disappointment among steel mag-! nates in the Pittsburg district. Two factors, a much weaker de mand for automobiles than at the corresponding period last year and j contemplated new models, are hold ing up the orders for steel, it was j learned. But officials of the steel mills are confident that those or ders will he forthcoming la'er in the summer. Demands for strip steel was stimuli 1 ted to a certain extent by orders jus' i dared bv on > mo Lor concern which recently began to manufacture six-cylinder carf. The steel industry hopes this will be a forerunner of other large or ders from different manufactur ers in July, August and Septem ber. On the whole production at the more important mills in this re gion is normal. Iairgc independent plants are operating at 70 per cent capacity, and at the corporation mills the percentage is about 80. Regardless of the attempt to litnit production in the Seminole oil field the demand for pipe con tinues to be good, indicating no cessation of drilling operations. Prices remain -unchanged. Summer road-building is keep ing the demand for reinforcing steel above that of all other types, leaders of the industry say. Plate orders are Small. Although Pennsylvania has more automatic ‘atop-and-go” traffic beacons than most states, the Pennsylvania Motor Federation, through Richard C. Haldcman, its president, expresses its preference for the ordinary traffic “cop." Movement of traffic with a po liceman on duty is infinitely more rapid than when a traffic beacon i* the regulator, Hatdeman finds. The federation urges ail small towns, most of which now have one or more automatic signal lights to replace them with traffic ‘cops’ on Sunday and holidays when traf fic is heaviest. The advantages to he gained through the substitution of officers on Sunday and holidays more than recompense u municipality for the additional expense, in the saving of time, Haldemnn declared. Nor should the wear and tear on the nihids and dispositions of motor ists he overlooked. There is no "back-to-the-farm" movement in Pennsylvania, the state department of agriculture an nounce*, adding that in the last six years the number of farms that have been abandoned has doubled. Latest records of the depart ment show that 13,182 Pennsyl vania farms are either idle or occupied by persons not engaged in farming. This means that 1. 164,000 acres formerly under cul tivation are unproductive now. So serious has the situation be come that the department of agri culture is endeavoring through census enumerators to get exact figures to determine the princial causes for farm abandonments.
