FAG TTTO. CONSUMPTION OF PIG IRON HAS MATERIALLY DECLINED Critical Situation In the Iron and Steel Trade Has Not Been Allayed During the Past WeeK. New York, June 9. From the sta tistical returns It looks, says the Iron Age, as though the consumption of pig Iron had declined very materially since March, while expanding1 production has not been checked from last month. The output for May was 1,633,500 tons of anthracite and coke pig Iron, as compared with 1,654,000 tons In April But the rate of output, which had reached 366,000 tons a week on Slay 1,. had dropped back to 336,000 tons on June 1. The corrective was quietly applied, but meantime-stocks-which were de dining steadily during the first quar ter of the year, were Increasing dur ing May, there having been an accumu lation of 100,000 tons during that month alone. Two-thirds of this ad dition to the stock must be credited to the central west and to the north west. This indicates quite a shrink age In the demand, which even the cut ting down In the receipt of production may not counterbalance. It , was to be noted, however, that already there lias been a further reduction In the output by the blowing out of additional furnaces since the opening of the month. It is not surprising that the pig iron markets have weakened further, and Bermingham Is now on the basis of 9 for No. 2 foundry with one transaction Involving 12,000 tons closed this week. It Is Interesting to note that some ex port business in southern Basic pig has been done. Valley furnaces are barely getting S12 for No. 2 foundry, and Bessemer pig and one exceptionally low sale of low Phosphorus pig iron has been made in eastern Pennsylvania. Pool prices on steel billets are more and more out of line with present condi tions, compared with those prevailing when the schedule was adopted. The demand is still light in the heav ier branches of finished trade. In the structural trade some of the long delayed Baltimore business has been coming In, no that expectations of larger orders from that quarter are revived. The bar trade is disappoint ing, and cutting Is going one, notably In the west Negotiations are in progress and are expected to be completed within a few days, according to the Herald, whereby control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad, known as the "Natural Gas Route," will change hands. The syndicate now In control of the Pere Marquette system probably will have a powerful If not dominating voice in the affairs of the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton. Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati, who Is one of the largest stockhold era, has been in the city several days past completing preliminaries looking to the passing of the control of his property. Associated with him is II. F. Shoemaker of this city, also a large stockholder. These two men have been In conference with representatives of the Per. Marquette line. Incidentally It became known that the Pere Marquette had secured con trol of the Toledo Belt railway, which was built by S. F. Fordyce. Bankers have recelxed propositions to buy S3, 500,000 of bonds on this property, the bonds to be jointly guaranteed by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Pere Marquette. At Toledo the two big systems will connect and the aqulsition of the To ledo Belt line is considered a valuable factor. Officials of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, while admitting that a change in the control of their property was about to be made, refused to con firm the report that the Pere Mar quette would absorb it The deal is likely to be closed this week. The Zimmerman road runs through a rich manufacturing center of Ohio and Indiana in the natural gas fields of those states, it operates more than 650 miles of line and has a capital of $16,000,000 with 315,000,000 of bonded indebtedness in addition. would, she could not sink.

WOMAN WILL HANG. Pardon Refused Female Murderer in New Jersey. New York, June 9. For the first time In 40 years, a woman has been doomed In New Jersey through the refusal of the court of pardons to Interfere with her death on the gallows for murder. Mrs. Anna Valentine, who killed Mrs. Rosie Salza at Lodi, N. J.: last March, will be the victim, and she probably will be executed June 16 at Hackensack, N. J.

Sold for a Fortune. New York, June 9.--At a sale of the Gaillard collection, says a Herald dis patch from Paris, a large plate from the Faenza factory, decorated with flowers on a blue and yellow back ground, which belonged to the king of Hungary Mathias Corunth, who ruled prior to 1490, has been sold for $10,200.

An astonishing exhibition of Joy has been noticed among the acquaintances In Harlem of Miles B. McDonnell over the murder of the former gambler in Albany. Along East 125th street, In the saloons! and resorts where the man was well! known and feared, his death was toast ed and it is even reported that some of the friends of. George Price, who was killed by McDonnell in 1900, got up a dinner in celebration of the event : aJThe gambler. neves forgave McDon nell for shooting Price, although be was acquitted "on the ground of self defense. He has been mixed up in a score of fights and In one Instance is said to have cut an ear from a man he accused of swindling while employed In his gaming house. The ear was nailed up on a wall of the room. His trial revealed the' inside facts regard ing gambling in Harlem and caused the closing of many notorious places, much to the discomfiture of the pro-i prietors and hangers-on. They have lived to see themselves avenged and his death caused much Joy. GREAT BILLIARD GAME. Exciting Contest In New York Before Large Crowd, New York, June I.
