SEATTLE, July q. 1872
To THE EDITOR: I beg to take exception TO

Claim 10 De familiar with the conditions.
IL must De borne in mind that there is wide
difference in the character o. pig iron produced
in different localities. The South cannot pro-
duce anything but "cold short iron. high in
phosphorus These irons have limited special
Use, for cast iron pipe stove plates and castings
where strength Is not q requisite
The limit of phos. in Bessemec pig iron is 0. 10
per cent. Southern irons carry from to l. 25
per cent phos., and steel ty the acid or Besse-
mer process can not be made from them Inc
open-hearth basic process has not been a success
with Southern irons from the high percentage
OF paos- required 10 be eliminated. The basic
process is in successful operation In Pittxbury,
using non-Bessemer irons from Lake superior
ores, the pig iroa carrying oil 20 az per eeat
phos.
The large consumption of Southern iron IS in
the North and West for mixing with red
shorts" to produce a neutral for use in cast
ings and for common iron Neutral pig can be
produced in Pirtsburg from a wide range Of
non-Bessemer Lake superior ores for ST. Is for
material, Labor, Incidental expenses and re-
pairs. The low price of non-Besserer ores has
been caused by large DEVELOPMENTS of the i'm
mense Lake Superior ore deposits, and carrying
trade on the lakes, with comparatively short
rail haul from lake ports TO Pittsburg, al low
rates on immense tonnage, the roads having .
return carriage on coal for shipmen: by LAKE.
southern forge iron at 50 az furnace, laid
down in Pittsburg az s12, would leave So for
rail haul OF little over SOD miles, or less than
cents per ton per mile, withou; any return haul.
rate lower than it is claimed railroads eau be
operated In December, 1883, the rail rate from
Birmingham to Plttsburg on pig iron was 81. %.
In 1899 the rate was reduced 70 Sass. Within
the past few months a further reduction OF .
cents per ton was made, present rate OF 81 So
or over cents per ton per mile. With SO pig
iron at furnace and rail haul OF $3.50 would give
the cost laid down In Pittsburg $3.50
southern iron will not make Bessemsr steel:
it cannot compete in price of steel output wi
low phos. non- Bessemer irons, and cannot
be delivered in Pittsburg at as low price as the
same character OF iron can be purchased for at
that point. 1t certainly LOOKS like an error 10
ascribs the cheapening of prices to their compe-
tition.
Abram 5. Hewitt made some investments in
the iron producing section of the South. The
firm of Cooper, Hewitt Co. still do business at
the old stand, Trenton. N. j.. with Offices in

ward Of 81, 90 would have tempted every
male or female associate of presumptive
ruffians 20 run them down" in order 10
get the reward. Rarely is any presump-
tive ruffian so isolated in this world that
there is not some man or woman who can
follow his trail with certainty of success,
and yet months went by and there was alb
solutely no clue TO the Nathan murder.
The diamond studs and watch taken
never came to light in any pawn shop or
private hands. A rufhan, who took the
watch and diamond studs. would naturally
part with them, but the size Of the reward
offered may have frightened the assassin
into throwing the valuables into the river
OF reducing them to an unacceptable
condition.
The reluctance of the public to believe
that the great reward would not discover
the murderer. if he was an ordinary mis-
creant, finally forced it back to the theory
that some inmate of the family who knew
the house well had committed the crime
and had robbed the victim only as a blind
10 turn suspicion in the direction OF pro-
fessional thief and murderer. The house
keepers son was subjected to examination
and surveillance, but nothing came Of it,
and during the last fifteen years the
Nathan murder has been relegated to the
list of those crimes whose history seems
to show that the popular belief that
murder will out" is not justified by the
history OF crime.
As matter of fact, murder. the killing
Of human being carefully plotted or con.
templated before the cutthroat is face to
face with his victim, is not found out
probably in at least third of the cases
where the coroner decides that murder
has been committed. Crimes committed in
the heat Of passion, like manslaughter. are
easily brought home to the homicide,
but murder carefully plotted has
far better chance to escape justice than
theft, for stolen property leaves always
strong scent for the sleuth hounds OF the
law to follow.
The melancholy thing about the failure
to unearth the murderer of the elder
Nathan is the fact that the spectre of un-
just suspicion and revolving notoriety fol-
lowed his unfortunate son all his days
and greatly embittered his existence.

trusts that his friends will not think OF using
his name.
John Van Horn, the efficient sanitary officer
of the city, is a candidate for one of the Repuo-
lican nominations for constable. His energetic
and competent work in his present Office has
given him strong support
VA. Beck, a stalwart young Democrat, has
his eye on the nomination for constable. Dur
ing the last few campaigns he has been one of
the most effective party workers among the
sesndinavians. A short time ago he was ap-
pointed clerk OF the municipal court, but he
was unable to qualify for the Office, for though
Seattle has been his headquarters for three or
four years, he had within a twelve month been
living on a claim in the country.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Pruden, of Edenton,
North Carolina. are stopping at the Rainier ho-
tel. Mr.. Pruden, who is successful lawyer
and active Democrat, has come TO the Coast for
rest and recreation. In speaking OF politics, he
said last night: 'Wi,h Us the great issue in
this campaign is and must be the force bill.

not absolute free traders; but with a solid negro

government in our state, We cannot but regard
the force bill as the dominant issue. The Peo-

OF it the Democrats will have a good majority,
if they organize thoroughly and work hard"

The Pittsburg Manufacturer of the 18th in

The Pittsburg Manufacturer of the 14th in
its review of the iron markets reports of the
pig-iron trade of Philadelphia
I 1.-The improved tone of the trade continues
to be fully maintained and there has been no
retrograde movement whatever since last re-
port. The inquiry for pig metal has now be-
come such that sellers have altogether de-
clined to enter long time orders, and none are
inclined to quote prices for deliveries later than
December. A number of furnaces are about
TO go into blast, it is said, and with the in
creased consumption market for their pro-
duct seems to be assured. The whole situa-
ton of the market seems to have wholly
changed the past week; buyers are taking more
iron and producers are talking about advanc-
ing prices Still the consumers are not wOr-
ried about the situation, believing, as they do,
that any advance at this time will be but Il
gradual one, and that it is better to run the
risk than to lay in stocks. Brokers are dis
posed to the opinion that the business is about
ripe for an advance in prices and if nothing
occurs political or otherwise another month
will find quotations materially changed from
what they are to-day"
What is here said of Philadelphia may be
appropriately applied to the pig-iron markets
generally in the North and West
The Chattanooga report says
THE slight Improvement in the condition
OF the pig iron market as indicated in our last |
report has been fully maintained during the |
past week, and while no further change in |
prices is to be noted, the market is firmer and |
the furnaces are not disposed to make con-
tracts for delivery later than the first three |
months of '93. No specially large sales have
been reported for the past week, but sales in
small lots for early delivery are quite active.
II is probable that two or three of the furnaces
that have been out for repairs will resume
during the next few days, and the new fur
mace at johnson City is preparing to go into
blast"
The Bnena Vista, Va, furnace has com
pleted repairs and is ready with large stock
Of raw material on hand, and prepared for
quick delivery to go into blast at the earliest
time. The stock of pig iron on
land has all been sold
