FIRM AND DEMAND
CleYl ind, July SO. The Iron Trade
Review In It laaue thl week aaya:
The tennatlonal fall In aecurltiea this
wet'R and the Acute feeling of peaaim
iam attending it have begotten no cor
refpontMng sentiment In the Iron trade,
but naturally they have not helped to
break the lull In the market. No note
worthy bunlneea has resulted from the
revival of the billet agreement, with a
price basis somewhat below that recent
"ly prevalent but there to sufficient Id
encourage buying by rod mills. That
steel mills which have had' no ateel to
sll fur months are now able to offer
a certain small fraction of their output
on the market Indicate that furnishing
capacity Is not a fully occupied aa It
tlKht be. even after the shut donna
of the first half cf July. " t
While there are no Indications thus
far that consumption is to be nwteril
ly reduced In the near future yet the ef
fect of the Wall Street cniah, or rather
of the cuuoos that led to It, upon the
business Interests of the country is be
ing seriously discussed. Over exten
sion of credit on industrial operations
Is likely to be followed by the sam
scared scrutiny and shifting aa have
come to the stocks of over capitalised
consolidations.
The railroads, while not scrambling
for early places on order books of the
tail mills keep on contracting for next
year and it Is estimated that close to
lftOOOOO tons for 1W4 delivery Is now
booked, including what was originally
placed for 1903 that must go over. Tho
Investigations by the granger roads
Into the probable yield In the wheat
and com states have brought them to
the conclusion that every car will be
needed to meet the demands of Mi
fall and winter. Pig Iron la weaker.
Stocks have been Increasing while
foundrymen have waited and the large
buyers of foundry Iron assert that
Southern iron Is within sight, though
reports of a law block being taken at
that figure are again denied. Contracts
for castings are being taken with every
week, for which the pig Iron la yet to
be bought. Importations, presumably
under old contracts, have been more of
a factor than has been generally sup
posed, being 79000 tons for June and
SKOOOtons for tn5 year enaing June tv,
or euual to the output of 12 foundry
Iron furnace each producing 200 tons
a day.

cupy during the conclave, but it can
not be said that they returned very en
thusiastic over -the ,ldea of being con
fined In what are rightly termed"cells"

dissatisfied was Cardinal' Maszary who
as primate of Hungary is the wealth
iest of the cardinals.' He Is credited
with an income of $100000 annually.

and must have bis meals outside.

successful. The revolving dum waiters
were also tested. They are character

in color and rivalling the natural gems
are today easily produced from the
chemist's crucible. The secret of their
production, which he says was known
in France years ago, but was kept sec

tier of small,- cheap stones into a sin
gle large one. It Is said the manufac
ture is now being carried on extensive
