The Iron and steel Trade Depression

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2-The Secretary
of the American Iron and Steel AssOcia-
ton, in re view of the years trade, esti-
mates the shrinkage in price of No. ! an
thracite foundry pig iron at 81 per ton,
gray forge pig iron at SO per ton. steel
rails at So per ton, bar iron at 4-10c. per
pound, and nails at 81 per keg. The Sec
retary says:
sit will be seen that the decline has
been very seriOus-much more serious
than is generally supposed. 1t would
seem that prices cannot go any lower
than they now are, and this theory would
appear to be sustained by the fact that
the owners of furnaces and rolling mills
and steel works on every hand have put
out their fires because the future offered
no hope of their realizing living profits

FREE SHIPS OPPOSED.
The Bill Not to Pass the Committee, bt
Mr.. DingIey's Measure safe.

W WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The select Com
mitee on American Shipbuilding and Ship
owning met to-day, but as there was not
quorum present no definite action was
taken. 1t is the opinion of some of the
members that the bill authorizing free
ships will not pass the committee. In the
discussion Of that subject to-day Repre-
sentative Hunt, of Louisiana, a Democrat,
eXclted some surprise by strongly oppos-
ing the measure. He thought that such
bill, should it pass, would kill ship
building interests. An effort, however.
will be made to get it before Congress
either through the Committee on Shipping
or through that on commerce. Mr..
Hunt also expressed himself to-day in
favor Of aiding the merchant marine by a
change in the payment for carrying the
mail. He said that he favored a more
liberal payment OIL the part of the govern
ment, and thought that it was by
such policy that England
had built up her merchant marine.
Mr.. Dingley's bill to remove certain
burdens on the American merchant ma
rine meets the approval of the committee,
and with few minor changes will be re-
ported to the House at an early date. 1t

ton of the hospital duties, and some
