SCARCITY OF MATERIAL M A V U'MK APVXtE IX IKOY MARKET. Labor Trouble Threaten to Catixe IM.stiirhatiee of a St-rioiis Nature. i NEW YORK, April l3.-ln Its cur rent Imue the Iron Age says: The struggle to bold values down continues unabated, with indications that the market is not fully under control of the conservative element. Negotiations have continued between the United States Steel Corporation ami the Bessemer Association, the furnace men holding out for better term for the requirement of fourth quarter, on the ground that sale are being made at my muc'hetter' fig ures and that other grodes of Iron are selling at a much better price, rela tively. The impression prevails that 117 at valley furnaces, 117.75 Pittsburg, may be the basis of the new con tract. To the leading interest the matter aet-ma to be a question chiefly of the effect of higher prices on sen timent, since the existence of many sliding scales based upon the price of Bessemer pig Iron will largely compen sate for any actual advance paid. In the foundry Iron trade the lead lug southern producers still hold to the ofllottl quotation of $12 for No. 2 at Birmingham, which applies to the markets of the Central West SUll, other Southern interests and the North ern furnaces are selling some Iron at higher prices. Pittsburg reports the sale of 26,000 tons 'bvssemer pig for malleable iron purposes. In the Atlantic seaboard markets the scarcity of pig iron Is emphasized by the fact that a very considerable part of the tonnage usually available as foundry iron has been diverted earlier In the year Into basic pig, chlelly for the Pittsburg market. The danger of labor troubles is cloud ing the - horlmn. With the normous current consumption any check in pro duction, be it only trifling, will kill a good deal of business. A moderate amount of business con tinues to be done In foreign steel. In the finished Iron trade the reports are all favorable as to tonnage. In fact, In some Important branches the flow of orders booked is greater than the current deliveries so that it la becoming more and more hopeless to oatch up. PRICE OF SILVER.

"They killed directly or by 'slow tor ture nearly 4000 of their own country men during the years 1S0O and 1901 beacuse they would not contribute money to support the insurgent cause. "I know of nearly 400 .icses In my own district In which natives were bur led alive, and many of these were women an dchildren. "They committed Inconceivable atro cities on American soldiers who fell Into their hands. I had the pleasure of capturing and hanging some fiends guilty of this. "The officers In the Insurgent army ordered the, assassination of each oth er in order to hold their places. Per sonally I owe a good deal to Aguln aldo. but he told me he had General Luna killed for no other reason than he was coming to the front too fast.
