IRON TRADE REVIEW.
SLIGHT Decline in Business, but Prices
Well Maintained.
4 VERY ACTIVE WEEK AT CHICAGO
Some Anxiety in New FORK as to the Exact
Stability of the Boom.
TIE UPWARD TENDENCY OF VALUES

The volume of iron business the past
week shows a slight decline from that of
several weeks past, but there are no indica-
tions Of any decline in prices. Markets. are
very firm for all grades Of iron and steel;
in fact prices are fully as strong as they
were asweek ago. The quietness of the past
week is mainly due to the tact that con-
sumers had stocked up largely when the
boom in iron started and that there is a
general disposition to clean up preparatory
to January settlements.
In last June gray forge iron was very
slow at S13 75 per ton. Now 1t is very firm
at SIS so and all signs point to still higher
prices. Bessemer iron was hard to sell
in midsummer at SIS 70. while now it is very
firm at S24 So Charcoal irons have undergone
very little change in the recent advance. The
advance in this grade of iron has not amounted
to over 81 per ton since the lowest price of last
June. Then No. foundry was sold at So So
and now the price is SIS So
THE STEEL RAIL BOOM.
The advance in steel rails on the present
boom has so far been close TO Sl0per ton. About
oDe-third of this advance goes TO tonnage
labor. The Edgar Thomson Steel Works are
producing close to / loo tons every "a hours, and
the advance of $40 per ton must furnish COM
Portable profit, not to speak of profits before
the iron boom.
Among the features of the iron and steel
trade worthy of note is the fact that notwith-
standing the advance on all grades production
has not materially increased so far. The
cspacity of steel production has been worked
up TO It's limits for some time past and it will
be impossible for some time to come to produce
an overplus of stock. The Edgar Thomson are
now sold ahead for months. All iron and steel
products are at this date strong and firm, and
year of funwonted:actiyity is certainly before us
in both lines.
RULING QUOTATIONS.
In raw and manufactured iron there has been
q strong demand during the week The follow
ing prices are quoted:

Country PrOduce-Jobbing Prices.
Everything in produce lines is quiet. Friday
is looked forward to by commission men as the
best day of the week. This Friday has been
altogether disappointing to the trade. Dairy
products are slow. but prices are unchanged.
Eggs fail to come up to their usual market
standard. Hens are getting in their work far
in advance of their ordinary time by reason Of
spring-like weather. The demand for fancy
apples and sweet potatoes is strong. Cranber-
ries are very iYm at the recent advance. Poul-
try supply is not up to demand. The Christ
mas turkey promises to be higher than it has
been for years. They whose Christmas turkey
was contracted for weeks ago at stipulated
price were wise. All poultry has advanced
since Thanksgiving.

An Upward Tendency In Values.

ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcE.I
CINCINNATI, December 20.-Rogers, Brown
& Co.'s iron circular says: The upward ten
dency in values continues in all branches OF
the pig iron market During the week there
has been a further stifening in prices of North
ern mill and foundry irons. Lake Superior
charcoal and all products of lake ores. This
grows out of the extensive early buying OF
lake ores for next season at an advance OF
about 81 ton over last seasons closing prices.
There has been no further advance in South
ern coke irons. which have been ruling rela-
lively higher than Northern irons for
some weeks past Very liberal sales are
reported, however, on the basis of price es-
tablished by the warrant buying in November.
Southern makers do not desire 20 see any fur
ther advance, believing 1t will stimulate TOO
many new enterprises in their district. Already
there is generous crop of them started. Ohio
furnaces generally are heavily sold and are very
slow to name any prices on round lots Tor in-
ture delivery Consumption continues very
heavy in all lines.

TO be Very Profitable.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK. December 2O.-The account Of
President stickney's projected stockyards,
warehouse and wharves on Staten Island, and
his steamship line to England, was disclosure
to most railroad men. The letting of the
contract for the wharves will prob
ably be announced within a month. Eras-
tus Wiman said to-day that he was
familiar with Mr.. stickney's inientlohs.
THE site chosen,' said he, 'is the most availa-
BILE anywhere around New YORK. Most Of the
stock of the company will probably be held
in England, and the company will be organized
there. Mr.. Boyle is related by marriage to the
Barring Brothers, of London, who will take an
active interest in the scheme"
Mr. Wiman said that the company would
bring live stock and corn from the Western
plains to the seaboard and ship It to Great
, Britain. They will be able to ship 1t at mini
mum of cost for terminal and transportation
charges.

AN APPOINTMENT In DANGER.
Opposition TO the Confirmation of Amor
Smith, of Cincinnati.


WASHINGTON, December 2o.-The refusal of
the Senate to confirm Amor Smith as Collector
of Customs at Cincinnati may be still another
sequel to the ballotbox forgery. Smiths nom
Ination is now hung up in the Senate Commit
tee on Finance. at the request of Senator Sher-
man. who is a member of the committee, and a
favorable report on It to the Senate will depend
upon tie result of the Congressional inquiry
into the ballot-box forgery. Smiths name was
connected with the matter as a go-between, and
Investigation if establishes the fact that he as
not in any manner party to the forgery his
confirmation will follow. If he is guilty he will
have to suffer the consequences.
Congressman ButterwOrth, when accused of
fighting Smiths confirmation to-day, said: ~
am not antagonistic to Smith now and shall
not be unless the Congressional investigation of
this ballot-box outrage establishes his connec-
tion with it If il does shall fight his confirma-
tion tooth and toenail, and do it openly, too."
