New York, Jan. 19 With some minor
exceptions the markets all along the
line have been rather quiet during the
past week and there are, says the Iron
Age, some alarmists who show symp
toms of uneasiness. The very fact that
the trade is producing and consuming
so enormous a quantity for this sea
son of the year seems to inspire doubts
corporation is turning nearly every
wheel which It controls, the manage
ment is forced In many finished lines
to prorate shipments in the order In
which specifications have bvn re
ceived, being unable to till the demands
of nil. The steel corporation is run
ning 94 per cent of its blast furnace
capacity, has every steel plant except
Columbus, in operation: is operutlng
99 ier cent of the tin plate mills, 98
per cent of the sheet mills and is run
nings' full on tubes bars, plates and
shapes.
A considerable tonnage of ore is be
ing contracted for. - Eastern furnace
men have taken several hundred thou
sand tons of non-Hessemer Mesabti
ores on the basis of t3 a ton as com
pared with 12.40 a ton last year. The
eastern furnaces already have bought
some considerable quantities of Kuro
pean and Cuban ores, while eastern
home producers are crowded for deliv
eries beyond their capacity.
The event of the week has been the
purchase on the part of the steel cor
poration of 2.'.000 tons of Bessemer pig
at $13.50 Valley furnace. Otherwise
the crude metal markets have been ex
ceedingly quiet In all the distributing
centers.
The attitude of sellers and buyers
to the futuer has been indicated by the
outcome of some large Inquiries for the

of a runaway market as the usually
busy season, snrinsr. approaches. Pow- I
erful influences are arrayed on the
side of keeping prices of finished ma
terials at the present level, with the
possible exception of wire products, and
this causes hesitation on the part of
smaller manufacturers to book much
additional business when they must
cover the raw material at the present
range of prices. Some of them seem to
look . forward to another period of
premiums over official prices for quick
delivery.
In spite of the fact that the steel

The steel market is quiet. The mak
ers continue confident, and count on
some very heavy orders later on for
the west and southwest.
New York. Jan. 19. Police activity
continued throughout during the early
hours In the campaign against gamb
ling houses and illegal resorts.
A sqihid of officer closed In on a
suspected v jiouse on West Twenty
eighth street and found gambling in
progress. The frightened players
struggled with -the detectives. All
were permitted to escape except two
men who were charged with conduct
ing the place. The furnishings were
seixed.
Karly in the night raids were made
on two drinking resorts In Twenty
ninth street near Hroadway and sev
eral wagotiloads of habitues were ar
rested. Two or three slumming par
lies got into the police net and the
women members became hysterical
over the situation. They were liber
ated.
Palmists and the like appear also to
nave fallen under tile ban. One wo
man was arrested after laying two or
three policemen low with her lists. A
police matron had given her marked
money in return for pretended service.
