THE WEEK IN IRON CIRCLES.

The Present Outlook is Not Very En-.
couraging.
All along the line the immediate out
look is not very encouraging. Stocks
of pig iron are steadily increasing, and
are now the largest known. Prices,
especially on Southern irons, are re
marlSly low.
AS contemporary states, the furnaces
are simply swamped, and nothing can
help them until the enormous overplus
of pig iron now on hand is worked Off.
stocked with iron bought some time
ago, when bottom was thought to have
been reached.
Western reports indicate that the
founories there are not carrying heavy
stocks, but buying from hand to mouth.
Detroit reports brisk demand; Gin
cinnati large sales in the aggregate,
made OF small orders and widely scat.
tered.
This is regarded as favorable sign,
showing that the foundries are not car
rying large stocks, but melting freely.
Louisville reports little buying; Chicago
irregular; Pittsburg further decline;
New York dull and irregular, and con-
ceSSlons general: Philadelphia a shad-
ing of prices on &C uil sales, and
increasing weakness on unsold iron; in
baltimore extremely low prices are
quoted on Alabama iron.
Muck bar is weak and dull, owing to
steel billets being freely sold at So and
$50 below muck bar. a good deal is
being done in finished iron, but at
ruinously low prices
The only CLEAN of light is that a
number of furnaces have gone out
and moro are expected to shortly follow
AS rule Virginia furnaces are carry
ing heavy stocks. On the Norfolk and
Western the Gem, Bristol and Max
Meadows are out. Buena Vista is
banked. Dora at Pulaski is sticking
up, but will not blow in until the mar
ket improves.
1t is generally reported that Salem
will bank as soon as she uses up her
stock, and that one Grocer will go out,
but in the absence of Mr.. Fackenthal
this could not be verified. This would
leave one Grocer. Roanoke, Pulaski,
lvanhoe and Graham blowing.
One thing seems certain that the mar
ket cannot be worse than it is, and that
any change must be for the better.

ITS NAME CHANGED.

The BaIahak Club to be Known Hence
forth as the Bachelors Club.
The Balahak Club is no longer known
by that cognomen. 1t is now called
by the much moro appropriate name.
1.-THE Bachelors Club"
The membors of this organization
offered prize some time ago for the
suggestion of q name best suited to the
club. After a hot contest between John
Randolph" Collingwood, who wanted to
attach the name of some NEUROLOGICAL
god to the club, and e. w. Lazell, the
latter was declared the victor.
The board Of governors has not yet
decided just what the prize will be, but
it is probable that box of Havanas will
be awarded the winner. The members
of the board think this would be tho
most appropriate, as they could assist
Mr.. Lazell in enjoying the fruits of his
victory.

A PROPER MOVE.
Name One of The Cruisers After
the Magic City.

The following is the text of q resolu-
ton which j. Allen Watts introduced at
the last meeting of the Council, and
which was passed by that body. This
matter vii be taken up and pushed with
the utmost vigor.
This resolution will DO engrossed by
the clerk of Council and copies sent to
the Secretary of the Navy, Senator Dan
iel and Representative Edmunds:
Whereas in the opinion OF this Coun-
Gil it would be appropriate and desirable
to have one Of the new United States
cruisers named after tho city of Roa-
nolke; and
Whereas this Council has been in
formed that the Secretary of the Navy
is disposed to look with favor upon any
reasonable and proper request with this
end in view: now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Secretary of th o
Navy be and is hereby requested to
name one of the new cruisers after the
city of Roanoke, and that in the opinion
of this Council the said name will be
appropriate for many reasons: First,
because this city is the best example of
the rapid and unprecedented growth and
development which has taken place in
the South in the last few years, it hav-
ing grown from a wayside station of
few hundred people to town Of twenty
odd thousand in the course of eight or
nine years, and having within its bord
ers some of tho largest and most varied
industries in the whole South; second,
because the name "Roanoke," on &C
count of it's historical associations, de-
serves consideration, the first English
sc ttlement in America having been
made at Roanoke Island, and the first
tobacco smoked by civilized men having
been grown on Roanoke Island, and
third, because the name of Roanoke is
already we'll and favorably known in
connection with the naval history of the
United States.
Resolved, secondly, That q copy of
these resolutions be sent TO tho Score
.ary of the Navy, with the respectful
request that he give this matter his at
tention, and that If it is consistent with
the pubic good he comply with our de-
sires.
