IMPORTANT ORE TRANSACTIONS.

The Deadlock Between Furnace Men
and ore-seliing Firms Has Been Broken.
Little Change in Foundry Irons.
CLEVELAND, O., March 23.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: "The
deadlock between furnace men and ore.
selling firms has been broken at last
and beginning with last Friday transac-
tions for this years ores have been
closed, totaling several hundred thousand
tons. The reaction seems to have come
which it was intimated in these columns
six weeks ago might result from the
attitude Of certain large ore buyers who
had set their figure below the point of
profitable operation by the heaviest
producers of Bessemer ores
Bessemer pig at $14 %, Pittsb urg
and billets at $23 $23 %
have given the Bessemer ore
market frmer tone and the estimate
that G, 900, 900 tons Of Bessemer ores will
be required from the Lake Superior
region the coming year indicates that no
occasion for ruinous prices in ore will be
furnished by lack of demand at least.
Foundry mill irons show little change
in the week. Southern furnace men are
denying recent reports of exceptionally
low prices, but the fact that contracts
for deliveries running through the year
are taken on the basis of present low
quotations indicates no confidence that
there will be early betterment.

The death Of ex-senator Ell SanlsbDrv
recalls more forcibly that did the death
OF his two brothers, the exciting Incl.
de Is Of the historic Senatorial contest
of 1871 and the remarkable political
situation which narrowed the candidacy
FOR that much sought honor to three
men Of close kinship.
Every Delawarean knows something
Of that famous fight but few of the
younger generation, except that substan-
tial part Of IL which has cast its lot in
the political sphere, are acquainted
with the phases of the liveliest canvass
Delaware ever knew.
Three Brothers Run for Senator.
Willard Salisbury returned from the
National Capital in 1871 after a second
term which to many would have meant
political death The free exercise of a per-
suasive tongue. however, won the ardent
support Of his Kent county constituents.
with whom his undoubted ability and
magnetic personality far outweighed his
reputed failings and his canvass for re-
election Mt once assumed promising pro-
portions.
Chosen as a Dark Horse.
But the ambition Of his brother, Cove.
then chief executive Of the state, brought
the latter forward as a rival Of no less
energetic calibre, and in the Legislative
caucus the first ballot stood one vote In
the latter's favor and recorded three
votes for ELI, then q modest practi-
tioner at the bar. The excitement
was intense. When three ballots had
been taken without result Willard threw
his entire support to Eli and on the
fourth and last ballot Cove was defeated
by vote of l3 TO l6 and Eli was sent to
hl the seat Ia the Senate which his
brother had occupied.
He was successfully reelected and
served until 1883, when the Wolcott
tight sent Anthony Higgins to succeed
him. Since that time he lived retired
life until death claimed the last living
member Of the great trlumvirate yes
