THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Early Months of '96 Will Doubtless See Rise in Pig-Reports of Numer-
 ouS Inquiries.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 26-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 While holiday dullness is upon the iron market in all it's departments and seem- ingly intensified by contrast with the his tory made in the year just closing, there are reports from all quarters of inquiry, much of which means early business. Hesitation. rather than stagnation, is still the word. Here and there a buyer, who must know the cost of his raw ma terial for the next six months, because of pending contracts with the consumers of his product, is taking hold at current prices, and these are so close in nearly all cases that the transactions involve little or no risk The truth Is forced home upon many producers that the principal basis of labor cost Is out of proportion to current prices, and it would not be surprising. if the market contin- ues at the present level, to see in January a movement for such a readjustment in wages as has been taking place in the product Sales of Bessemer pig iron the past week have been at $10.75 at valley furnaces, and it is intimated that $1050 is possibility. The fact that the buy CTS who took considerable. blocks of metal a few months ago, with deliveries in December and the early months of 1896. have paid a price per ton for the cancellation of their contracts, leaves the iron on the furnace companies hands. To get this iron out of the way the makers have been content to realize cost having already been paid their profits by the original buyers. Foundry irons do not show like weakness, because they were free from speculation. but prices are lower at $13.50 at valley furnaces for No 1, and SIS for No. is current for small lots What could be done on con tracts for the first half of the year will only be known as inquiries come up. There is report that the present $1.60 basis for furnace coke will be continued, and that 1t will not only be the circular price but the actual price There is also a report that the $2 programme will be carried out It is believed that any con- tracts made will be limited to thirty dave

CONTRACT AWARDED.
Newport News Company Will Build the
 Battleships.

baLLleSn1pS.
 Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary Her bert today with the approval of the president, awarded the contract for the construction of battleships Nos. and 6 (the Kearsage and her unnamed mate) to the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock company of Newport News, Va, at it's bid of s2250000 for building each ship according to plans prepared by the navy department. The secretary closes a long communication to the presi- this course instead of awarding one to San Francisco at greatly increased cost, or accepting the proposition of the Cramps, as follows:
 "To me 1t seems clear that the depart ment cannot undertake to say that bid by responsible and competent com pany. fairly made after due considera- ton, is lower than fair price for such work. This company Is bidding, not only for one of these ships, but for both, and 1t insists upon its right to build both: For the government to reject the bid under these circumstances, and insist upon paying a higher price for the ships or for one of them, to be built elsewhere, ony any such ground as that the bid of the Newport News company Is below the market price would be ruinous policy The government Is entitled 10 have its ships built at the lowest price at which it can procure the doing of the work, and the policy would dictate the announcement instead of the discourage merit of low bidding"

 New York. Dec. 26.-The members of the New York produce e, change, at meeting at noon today. unanimously passed the following resolutions:
 Whereas, The members of the New York produce exchange with concern view the depletion of the gold reserve. re- sulting in distrust of the governments ability and determination to meet it's obligations. tending to gravely injure all business interests and disastrously affect values; therefore, be it
 Resolved That we strongly urge upon congress the necessity of taking, in ac- cordance with the recommendations con tained in the recent message of President Cleveland such immediate action at this time as will meet the exigencies of the case and restore public confidence in the financial ability and integrity of our gov- ernment, and we appeal to the patriot- ism of our representatives to see that the action taken is free from any political bias or party prejudice. which might endanger it's success; and the president of the ex- change is directed to transmit copy Of these resolutions to the president of the United States senate and the speaker of the house, and to each member of the New York delegation in congress.

in an understanding that such reorganl- zation shall not be operative until Janu- ary 1, inasmuch as all employees have been paid for the present month. and confusion would result from an immedi- ate transfer It is not thought that a di- vision will be called for when the reso- lution determined on by the committees Is laid before the senate. although it is not improbable that some one may desire to put the senate on record. If the yeas and nays are called for the democrats will vote against the republican resolu- tion, but the republicans, having more votes than the democrats, will have a majority of a quorum and carry their programme through. This will probably be done Monday next. the senate, under the present understanding, not intending to be in session Saturday.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SCORED
A Pastor Creates Stir in His Congregation
 by Abusing the President.


 by Abusing the President
 Hagerstown, Md. Dec. 26.-The Rev. Henry Evans Cotton, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, in his sermon yester- day morning made a violent attack upon President Cleveland, for whom he had voted for president, though the pastor is a republican.
 Hour by hour" he said. "the presi- dents utterances stand impeached by the honest common sense of the people. Bit ter disapproval has come to many who felt that with his great gifts he might have lifted the nation to higher. surer planes of action; but he has been dragged from his place as a statesman down to the level of the political leeches that sur round him. By one breath of his mouth he threw millions of the peoples money into the maelstrom of financial ruin; in another brea tn he piteously invokes his congress to avert the crash he has called down upon our heads, and millions of lives are disturbed by the horrible possi" bilities-God grant, the impossibilities-- of cruel war;
 The pastors words created great stir in the congregation.

 Still Solvent

Still Solvent.
 Albany, N. r.. Dec. cG.-There were many rumors floating about the city to- day concerning the financial standing of Patton & Co.,, lumber merchants. Henry Patton, one of the members of the firm, was seen today at his office, and said: "The report published this morning was largely a matter of fiction, and wish to say that we have not made an assign ment and are paying bills as presented, even this morning. In regard to our financial matters, we are in consultation with our friends, and hope to be able to straighten out any difficulty that may have arisen. As to the Forest report and Beaver river concerns. they are solvent. Our clerks are now at work on the books and our exact standing will soon be known"

Officially Confirmed

Constantinople, Dec. 2O.-The capture of Zeitoun by the Turkish troops is off, cially confirmed. No details of the fall of the place are given.
 Izzet Pasha, who recently addressed a large report to the sultan pointing out the deplorable condition of the country, has been placed under arrest and is now awaiting trial by court-martial His trou- bles are due to the report, which the sul- tan refused to read. When Izzett Pasha found that the sultan refused to pay any attention. to his report he resigned his office of chief equerry, but the sultan refused to accept his resignation. Five times was the resignation repeated but the sultan refused to allow Izzet to re- tire voluntarily.
 An official report has been issued stat ing that the government is making an in- quiry into the outrages at Harpoot. It denies that any missionary property was burned in the presence of the troops. On the contrary. 1t says that the officials used the troops to the utmost of their ability to protect the missionaries and other foreigners and thereby prevented the burning of a large part of the mis- sionary buildings. A company of troops, the report adds, is still guarding the mis- sionaries property.
