The traffic sttuaitlon continues to b the inost lmnortant ami Intersstlnc subject discussed In the Iron and steel trade, rrogreas la being made against ths freight accumulation, but the large h.1nners scarcely expect full relief In side of several week, although partial resumption Is likely on most or the East ern line within ths neat week or ten darya. The Pennsylvania system seems to he In worse straits than the smaller roads. The former continue Its em bargo on all classes of freight with ths except Win of foodstuffs and ooal for public service utilisation.!!) freight department nf the New York. N. w Haven and Hart ford system reported yesterday that Western roads had raised ths embargo ago Inst shipments to th New Haven syeiem. which had been In effect for a week or more. A already noted, th New Haven Is prepared to accept ship ment." from ell point m on connecting lines, and is nuiklng rapid haodwny In ths moving of lu. noo cars now licr with its floating equipment. It developed yesterday that Western sh ppers were .consigning Koartern Insight l way of the Pennsylvania sys tem to Newark and then transferring to th l iel aw are. I -sacks wanna and Western and West Shore Hi es, through which there has been a iietter prospect of reaching tidewater. This scheme, how ever, lias been block,! by the Pennsyl vania Itailroad, the embargo being placed further Inland, but th sains transfer nmy take place at New Bruns wick. Freight la consigned by shippers to themselves at the abov points, and the transfer com only IS per car. s The present congestkjn at New , Tork terminals demonstratea how inadequat storage space Is In the metropolitan dis trict. It is said, however, that the Penn sylvania Itatlrottil Is determined to give relief as ieedlly us lensslble and to thnt end has given an order that all export freight that haa been on curs ten days In the New York terminals bo unloaded whatever the cars happen to be. Tbla has already happened as far back aa Morrlsvllle. The consensus In railroad circles now- seems to lie that the Inter state Cotiiinerc Commission Itself Is largely responsible for much of ths freight congestion on the Eastern sea board. Home time sines), when the com missioners made an Investigation of rail road fax-ill ties at New York, they ad vised trunsiiortatlnn companies to get rid of at leant half of thalr floating equipment, as It was entirely unnecre aary. The New York Central Itailroad Is aald to have adopted this suggestion and diaposed of half of lta lighterage craft. The New York Central la now trying to buy boate to replace the light ers sold. The bridge builders are much encour aged by reports emanating from the rail road tau larger contracts for liihhte work will be placed this winter In time for sqirlng service. No adequate esti mate of tonnage to he derived from such contracts can be given, but especially large ordera are expected from the Bal timore, and Ohio and h fair tonnuge from tin Pennsylvania. The New Haven also, ss SOOn ns finances will jiermlt, will go ahead with the Thames Ktver bridge, as previously noted. This work will call for the expenditure of about fli.ljOn. 000. The coal roads, more especially the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and leehisHi Valley, are constantly In the market for bridgewotk. The Southern Railway has placed an other "jiitrart for liridgework. calling for about 600 tons of structural steel, with the Virginia, itridge and Iron Com pany, and another contract for alum 100 tone of bridsrework with a Northern shop. Inquiries are still In the market f'oin the same road for about 400 tons Of steel for bridges. The Iehigh Val ley has put out a new Inquiry for two lirldges, calling for 250 tons of steel Bhspes. The New Haven aieai hits an Inquiry In the market for two small ' . tree. Three Western mads are on the point of closing bridge contracts calling for almut 3,500 tons of struc tural steel. The American Bridge Company has been awarded the contraiit for 700 ton of structural steel to be used In the construction of an extension to the coal hunkers at Newark, levering Gar rtgiie have secured the contract for 400 toeis of fabricated steel for the building of a garage on West Sixty-seventh street for the Hudson Motor Company. The same fabricators, it is understood, will also furnish r.on tons of structural shapes for the Bullard Machine Tool Company machine ehop at Bridgeport. The Hooker Electrolytic Chemical Com pany of Buffalo bus placed a contract for another factory at Niagara Ealla, calling for BOO tons of steel, with the Ferguson Iron and Steel Company. Re portl come from Buffalo that the latter company will expend 11,500,000 In plant Improvement before April 1 of next year. This company is understood to have gained great bene, it from heavy war contracts. An Inquiry Is In the market for about 300 tone of structural aleel for the building of a court house at Durham, N. O. The Board of Chosen Freeholders of Hudson county have awarded the gen eral contract for the building of the Hudson county Jail to W. 11:" W. Csne of Jersey City and New York. The contract price Is t S l.SSo. It Is Inter esting to note that n the previous occa "lon, atsnit alx v eeks ago, when bids were taken, J. T. Brady Co. of ew York submitted a lowest bid, 1754, 440, or more than llOn.OOO less than the contract Just awarded. According to one contractor yesterday this Is an ex ample of .lersey economy. The higher price submitted is said lo have been due to the higher prices prev ailing for plain steel material and for the erection of the fabricated steel. a Th Samuel I,. Moor Corporation is understood to have taken bids yester day on the construction of a machine shop calling for I.&00 tuna of fabricated structural sleel. It may not be generally known that ths Moore corporation Is a subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany. THE SUGAR MARKET. Raw aad Krflned Inactive s-H-tares t nse-t tied.

Th export thurlness In wheat during yesterday's session showed no appreci able diminution and the sentiment In opvculstlve quartera became more bull ish In consequence It was said In con servative quarters that prloss were being lifted so rapidly that foreign buyers would soon weary of the paos, especially as the font of shipping wheat seemed ex orbitant and financial conditions In ths various foreign countries were pre carious. On the other hand, ths sig nificance of wheat being among th cheapest and the most adaptable of food stuffs is not being lost sight of nor Is It forgotten that prices havs been regu lated by the business from day to day, rather than by the measuring of the available supplies In all poe.tlons. The quantity of wheat sold abroad yesterday wns estimated at close to 1.800, 000 bushels. Hlnce Saturday the foreign tsklngs of American and Can adian wheat hays reached almost &. 000,000 bushels, a considerable part of which was taken at th Oulf. There was nothing new In th advices from abroad o explain the eager absorption of wheat offerings, so the trade concluded that stocks at foreign points again required reptenlfditng and that the abssnos of re lief In the tonnage situation aa applvlng to Australia and Argent! na was respon alble for the urgent buying. Wheat of ferings in Australia and Argentina are sold to be liberal.

JnsKph B. Davlea, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, add 1 1 SO 1 the American Export Manufacturers As sociation at the Hotel Blltmore yester day on the urgent requirements of American Industry to meet the Interna tional competition which will Inevitably follow tha close of the Uuropeon war. Ths reorganisation of Industry, ha said, when finally established 1n Kurope. will be Invested with a degree of efficiency that will command the respect of all rivals In tha markets of the world for the reason that an industrial and a military organisation has bean developed in tXirope that haa eclipsed anything of the kind ever seen. "To speculats oa to the oondltiona following the war," said Mr. Davlea, "la idle. But It Is still greater foMy to assume that In the long future these lesson derived from these conditions will not be translated with military ef fectiveness and discipline Into efflclencUs and economies of production snd dls trlbitkin when tl energies pent up tn the struggle shall be released for In. lustrlal endeavor. The stimulus of ne- cessliy will p,. these processes, for Inton mi, mat bills will have to be paid through reversing balances of trade, snd every effort will be made by Uov ernments Involved to sustain themselves from destruction. "When these oondltiona obtain It will require all of our vision and discipline, enterprise and conservatism, sagacity and during to meet them. It will re quire that our Industries shall be inte arated and stabilised that the social wall being of ties workers be sustained: It will require a large minded Intelligence and vision In the division of fruits of Industry between capital and labor." Tn the evening Mr. Davlea told theh National Credit Men's Association that His Federal Trade Conunlaalon la mak ing a aurvey of trade conditions In Central and South America, with a view to having obnoxious conditions remedied.
