Dun 3 %.
NRw YoRK, Jan. 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review, say:
Iron is perceptbly sustained in price
for the time by the enforced curtailment
OF production, but the feeling prevails
that resumption Of work in the local mines
may be followed by lower prices OF iron.
In all branches Of this great industry the
decrease in railroad demand is felt.
A better tone in the steel market has
been observed within two days, but the
business 10 still mainly left to BpeculAtorB,
and the inability OF promoters to place se-
curities may retard new railway building
for some time to come, though current re.
ports still show large gross earnings. The
storms, the strikes. aud the recent disa.
greements about rates may be felt little
later.
There is better movement in wool but
quotations average little lower. Cotton
Is unchanged, while prices Of many makes
OF bieached and brown goods and fancy
prints have been advanced, and print
cloths are quoted at 1894 for 64,. The
boot and shoe business is fairly active,
with shipments exceeding last years, and
prices Of almost all kinds Of leather

Data Showing the Cost of Gas Compared

PIrTsRuReR, Pa, Jan. 27.-The meeting
OF the Natural Gas Association at the
Monongshela House last night was Of
special interest.
The often discussed question Of the
relative cost Of natural gas and coal were
brought up by the presentation Of careful.
ly prepared data.
A member Of the association who was
seen this morning said: "Complaints
have been coming in from consumers ever
since natural gas was adopted as fuel.
Everybody, in an effort to secure still
cheaper gas, would insist that they could
get the same reeulta OF lees cost by using
coal. We concluded 10 demonstrate prac.
tically that this was not true. Painter's
mill was selected, as their engines were
considered the most economical that were
in use In the country. We put the matter
In the hands Of one Of our most competent
representatives. he accurately ASCERTAIN,
ed the number Of pounds Of the best coal
required per horse power hour. The
quantity Of natural gas required under
the sRme conditions was then determined
The result proved that, figuring on gas as
the price that We have suggested, its price
Wonld not exceed SO per cent OF what the
coal would cost. These experiments we
regard as proof that there 10 no foundation
for the reporta that gas Ia costing coneum-
erg more than coal"

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Ths reception accor-
dsd to Mr.. o'Brien last night at Mallow
hes set the Chief Secretary and bis sble
castle assistants at work trying to devise
some plan by which such demonstrations
as the Mallow banquet may be sup
pressed. 1t is exceedingly CALLING to Mr..
Balfour to find that after season Of im-
prlsonment Of the strictest nature the Irish
editor Is sgain ready to enter the lists
against him. II was not surprising, there:
fore, to hear from Dublin this morning
that the Castle was disturbed or that new
counsels were being held. The most sig
nifcant feature OF the banquet last night
was the presentation to Mr.. 0'Brisn otthe
medallion composed Of bullets taken from
the kodies Of the Mitchellstown martyrs.
This means that Irish patriots will never
forget that occurrence, and that every ef-
fort will be made to psrpetuats the mem
ory OF those who were shot by the Gov
ernment soldiers. Mr.. 0'Brien will not
appear at many more public receptions,
but It 10 his intention to get away some-
where and rest until Parliament opens.
