HEAVY METAL WORK LOOKS UP.
Prospect for Improved Activity and
Slight Advance in Price.

SllgnL ADVANCE IN frlCe.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Iron Age to-
day says: The markets for BesSemer,
pig and steel bilets in the central west is
higher, and it really looks as though the
turn had come. For the first quarter
Pittsburg and Wheeling are full of work.
Ii Is difficult matter TO ascertain what
the lowest point touched was, because the
majority of the sales were at delivered
prices. In quiet way a considerable
number of large transactions have been
closed, among them one for $4,000 tons Of
bilets and large conversion arrange
ment on wire rods. The great majority
of buyers of crude steel have covered for
the first quarter and many well into the
second half.
Eastern rolling mills are jubilant over
the capture OF the 81, 600 ton order for the
Rlackwe Island Bridge by the Pencoyd
Works, but that was somewhat prema-
ture rejoicing over another eastern
bridge shop that had carried Of the 1900
ton order for the Pennsylvania bridge
over the Delaware, for it has not yet
been placed. A good deal OF material Is
TO go In the New York Central improve
ments at Buffalo.
Altogether the prospects OF a heavy
consumption OF rolling mill products is
very good. While the big work does not
go into the shops for month or two, re-
cent developments show moderate re-
c0very In prices for the spring. For the
present low prices continue to prevail all
along the line on all material for prompt
delivery.

OF 700 farmers who will do no more trad

to town and the merchants do good
business. As result Of the boycott but
few people were in the city last Saturday
and but little business was done The

Decatur citizens extend to them no hos
pitality. They have established genera
stores at Preble and Monmouth and
