Unpaiallolcd Activity In This Lino of
Business.
Prices Now Ate Low, But Many Prot'uc"
era Are Scaling Prices Much
Higher.
Ur ANNOclnteil l'rcmi lo the Juiirnnl.
New York, Dec. 23 In Its rcvlow
of trade condition, Iron Ago says:
The year 1808, with Its extraordtniry
record for production, closes with a
burst of actlylty unparalleled In the
nlstory or Industry, except In the
year 1870. An enormous tonnage bus
been placed for 1890 delivery, but nt
very low prices. An Increasing
number of producers, having their
order books In good shapo for many
months to come, are virtually with
drawing from tho market or usklng
higher prlcps. The Western markets
for foundry Irons havo been com para
tlvcly quiet during the past week,
but there has been continued activity
in the cast, whero tho furnaces had
been relatively low for some time past.
Tncso furnaces havo now advanced
prices and aro calling a halt.
In steel material Pittsburg notes
sales of ono block of 25,000 tons of
Dcsscmor pig. Tn tho east Micro have
been a number of sains of round lots
of basic pig Iron at tho range of $10.25
to 810.75.
There has not been much doing In
steel, cast or west. Makers of billets
are firm on tho basis of 810 Pittsburg
and $17.35 to$17.C0In Eastern Pennsyl
vavla. Buyers, however, arc resisting
the advance.
To what an extent and In what
manner the tlnplatc consolidation
has control of the supply of tln-plute
bars has not transpired. It Is re
garded as probable that some arrungo
ment must have been made.
In tho rail trado tho event of the
week has been tho salo by tho Mary
land Steel Company of 00,000 tons of
rails to Asiatic Russia, thus following
up the former sale of 40,000 tons to
the same parties. The loport of a
sale of 35,000 tons of Australian de
livery cabled from London looks like
u belated reference to an old trans
action. The Pcnnbylvunla railroad
Is in the market for a largo lot ot
rails.
Tho wire trado Is developing
strength. Rods uro scarce, uud pretty
high prices havo been paid by Cana
dians. The negotiations for the con
trol of largo additional plutcs by the
leading Interest have actively
progrc86cd,atid are reported to havo
resulted In tlio acquisition of ono Im
portant establishment In the Clncln
nattl district.
Further orders havo come to tho
plate mills East and West, and they
aro now so overloaded with work that
prices nro being advanced and busi
ness Is being turned down. An Intci
csting transaction was tho salo of a lot
of -1,000 tons of plates for export at
Philadelphia.
The makers or structural material
are getting a fair amount or business
for this season of tho year, and the
Indications point to a full volume or
work for 1891).
In tho West, particularly, all the
concerns who supply material for ear
building aro very heavily engaged,
tome of them being full of work for
the tlrst hall of 1809.
In a few Uses prices are still irreg
ular. Thcro Is complaint of cutting
of prices In sheets, while In cotton ties
a lively strugglo ror orders Is progress
lug In some markets In tho South.
Tho cast-iron plpcmukcrs aro llyur
Ing on a lot of abont 20,000 tons for
Yokohama. Tho prospects for heavy
export trudo next year aro regurded
as promising,!
At thoclosoof this week tho exo
cutlvo commltteo of tho American
Tluplate Company is to discuss and
detcrmlno the policy of tho consolida
tion on prices, The metal trado Is
looking forward to tho decision with
the keenest Interest.

A Snlem Merchant Wakes Up to Find
His Fenee doing Away.
Fred Wiggins, was nroused by a
noise this morning nbout 4 o'clock
and going to the window saw a man
bulsly engaged In taking down tho
fence along the creek bank Just back
of his rcsidenco nnd between It and
tho Blind School. Near by was n
double rig. After quietly tearing
down the fence he drove tho homes In
and disappeared among the trees and
brush.
Mr. Wiggins telephoned central for
a policeman but nono responded, and
this morning un examination ol the
place was made. The fenco had been
pulled down, tho posts being pulled
up and the horses driven over tlic
ml re. From there tho tracks lead be
tween trees stumps and along the
creek bank, until they ilnally emerged
from tho bed under tho bridge lust
north or tho Blind school.
Tho actions or tho man and the
hour of tho night seemed suspicious,
and what his purpose was is a mystery.
Ills identity li known, but for fear
of casting unjust suspicion upon his
name will not bo mentioned. Ho
rented tho rig last evening early, say
ing ho wus going to a dance In the
country, but seems to have not at
tended any such gathering. The
buggy was returned about 0 o'clock
this morning with a badly wrecked
tongue. What Is up Is unknown, but
those who saw him think thore Is
something In tho atmosphere
