Successor Appointed.

LONDON. Dec. 31.-The Daily News says
that the signatures TO the memorial which
Mr.. William r. Creamer, NJ. F.. will present
to President Cleveland and the American
Congress in favor of an arbitration treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States. are those of unofficial members of
the House of Commons Three hundred and
forty-five members signed the memorial
and the number would have been increased
had the members of the government been
invited to sign it. Most of the Liberal and
Irish and fair number of the Unionist
members signed The intention is TO the
memorial to assist the adoption of Senator
Allison's resolutions. II this resolution Should
be adopted there are good grounds to believe
that the British government would readily
enter into negotiations for an arbitration
treaty. Mr.. Creamer will sail for New York
on the White Star line steamer Teutonic on
Wednesday next. He has long been an adj
war. and since 1878 has been secretary of the
International Arbitration League and editor
of the society's organ, the Arbitrator.
By trade Mr. Creamer is carpenter and
joiner He founded the Amalgamated So
ciety of Carpenters and Joners and was the
first secretary of the International Work
ingman's Association. Both as a speaker
and writer he has long been known as a
leader among political workingmen and
dresses have been translated into the prin-
cipal European languages and largely cir
culated. In 1880 the President of France con-
ferred on him the cross o. the Legion of
Honor. He sits in the House os Commons
for the Haggerstown division of Shoreditch
in the interest OF the Liberals.

The OUTLOOK.

The Iron Trade Review Resume Of the Week In
Iron Circles.
A further weakening OF iron and steel
values has taken place within the week
and in some markets the lowest prices
Of tho year have been touched. This is
true of Bessemer and Of northern ioun-
dry irons, except in the Chicago market,
where the marked concessions Of some
weeks past were recently withdrawn.
While November and December accu-
naulation of iron hae been looked for,
with an attending fall in prices, actual
Transactions have discounted all allow
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1894-12-15

ances. Bessemer pis has sold as low as
$3.50 in the valley the equivalent OF
$10.15 Pittsburg. whereas the lowest
price in the period OF lowest values pre-
ceding the coal strike was $10.25, Pitts
burg. Northern No. 2 foundry iron has
sold in central western markets at %
cents ton below the low quotation Of
early spring. $9.35 at furnace being
touched as against $500. The prices
named are extreme and there have been
many transactions on n higher basis,
while some producers refuse 10 consider
current figures and are confident that a
reaction will come quickly, when any
considerable buying movement develops.
The present situation is only significant
OF the easerness OF certain producers TO
get business at time when demand is
suspended, with buyers running stocks
TO the lowest point for the taking oi the
yearly balance. There il little in any
quarter that goes TO establish market
DRIFT beyond the present month. II
present prices were to continue, there
are producers who would feel called ON 20
retire for the time being, and thus the
corrective might come naturally.
Among makers OF Bessemer iron there is a
caution about entering into low priced
contracts, begotton OF the coke strike
experience OF May and June. There are
ct oh
OF a new strike as the winter wanes; aud
while 81 coke will be available after the
first OF the year, the failure OF the Con-
nellsvile operators TO carry out an agree
ment once practically made TO advance
selling price, increases the chances OF
labor trouble. IL would seem that a
strike, whether il would come sooner or
later, will only be nverted 10y such IN
advance in coke as will permit Of paying
higher wages TO the men. Thus the coke
situation is still the most important
iactor in the outlook for Bessemcr pig
and soft steel. The effect OF the reduc-
tion in steel rails for 1895 cannot be
measured as yet, though there are sever
al inquiries in for round lots. Car and
locomotive building il more active aud
the prospects in these directions are
much more encouraging. In the central
west there Is fair amount OF business
in plates and angles on ship building and
bridge contracts. The demand for beams
and channels on architectural account IL
light, but there is good deal o
! figuring on work that is TO come
up next year Indeed the chiei
encouragement in all departments Of the
iron and steel trades is derived from th,
expectation OF an expansive demand il
the early months OF 90; il present vol
ume and present prices were taken alonC
as the basis Of judgement, the opinion
would be far from optimistic.
There have been more small lot sales
