THE IRON MARKET
Wekly Resume of the Great Iron
Industries of the Country.
MARKET REPORTED WEAKER
Noticable Falling off for Manufactured
Products in Iron and Steel Noticable
in the Great Manufacturing Industries
of the United States
New York, June 8. This has been an
uneventful week in all directions, says
the Iron Age. What is almost a dead
lock between buyers and sellers of pig
iron coutinues, the ouly fair degree of
activity being in the Chicago district.
Virginia furnaces have sold there and in
St. Louis basic pig to the extent of about
7.tXX) tons and inquiry for this class of
ron is cropping up in other directions.
The Birmingham market is weaker in
spite of the fact that there is some un
easiness over the possibility of troubles
with the coal miners.
The absence of a demand for pig iron
by the large steel companies is causing
pressure upon the market on the part of
merchant furnaces who usually supply
them and who are now accumulating met
al.
The market for steel is easier and some
of the interests who have had little to
offer in the past are now hunting for bus
iness. A moderate amount of aditional
tonnage has come up in plates and shapes
Among the larger orders placed is one of
10,000 tons for a large industrial plant
in Milwaukee.
In the lighter lines the shading of the
prices continues and is becoming more
general. Black sheets have sold below
$2JZo for Xo. 28 and some business in
iron bars has been secured only by con
cessions. In the wire trade there has
Wen a .-li:ht improvement in some quar
ters.
Export are more actively pu-hed
in all diivctiuns and special efforts are
being made to market more highly finish
ed material. Tims quite a considerable
business in sheets for exjKirt has been
done lately.

Kew York, June 8. Resolutions sug
gesting radical reforms in the manage
ment of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society were adopted at today's meet
ing of the directors. These affect all

many important changes in the financial
policy of the society.

Somerville declared that no allowance
can lie made to importers on any impor
tations for depreciated currency in the
absence of currency certificate issued by
the American consul.
The importer claimed in their pro
test that the goods were purchased with
the depreci ited paper currency of Greece
and that it should have been taken by
the collector at a discount of aliout 02
per cent as compared with the standard
coin, drachma.
Judue Sommerville pointed out, howl
ever, the importance of obtaining consu
lar certificate to show that such de
preciation is recognized ollicially and
must lie attached to the invoice, as re
quired by the consular regulations. The
collectors' valuation, which was based on
tables compiled by the director of the
mint, was therefore upheld.

FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Petition Being Circulated in Upper As
toria Precincts.
A petition was circulated yesterday in
Upper Astoria asking that the question
of local option in the district east of the
Clatsop mill to the eastern limits of the
city, be submitted to the voter at the
city election in December. The petition
was generally signed, very few to whom
it was presented refusing to sign.
There is a strong growing sentiment in
that section of the city to close up all
the saloons, it being claimed that it Is
a resident district. Knthusiastic meet
ings have ieen held during the past
month and a strong public sentiment
worked up. The question will 1 sub
mitted to the voters at the Dcecmlicr
election and there is no doubt but that
it will carry by a large majority. There
are five saloons that will In- effected if
the proposition carries, all of which will
be forced out of business. The city de
rive a revenue of $2,000 a year from
theses saloons.
