Advance In Coke Workers Wages One of

CLEVELAND, March 2l.-The Iron
Trade Review says to-day:
The important events of the week I'm
the iron trade have been The announce
ment or an advance I'm coke workers
wages with prompt strengthening of
the market for Bessemer pig, and the
beginning of negotiations that in all
probability will result I'm sales of Lake
Superior ores before the close Of the
month. No announcement of coke prices
has been made as yet, but the fact I'm a
few cases April coke was contracted for
a short time ago on the basis OF two
cents advance over existing prices for
every cent advance in mining leads 10
the belief that the advance will be very
close TO p cents.
Some operators. however. have been
asking a three to one ratio in providing
against wage advance.
This would mean an additional 81 cents
on ton of coke.
The question OF ore prices comes up
next, and it is likely that the beginning
OF another month will give the producers
OF Bessemer pig a very definite idea of
the cost OF their mixture on the new
basis for fuel and ore. Under present
conditions little is 10 be looked for i'm
actual transactions, except for prompt
delivery. In soft steel billets there has
been little effort to do business by either

tural mills are accommodating a large ton

If the Government would cooperate with

representations had been made 10 tne

ill-treatment which had been brought 10

Sir Edward Grey said that the captain
OF the British ship had only promised
Mataafa that his life would be spared

transaction which wiz make interesting
reading Some weeks ago Mr.. Morton
wrote to the purchasing agent OF tho
seed division of the department. inform
ing him that members of Congress had
been charged with dlsposing OF their seeds
In way other than was contemplated
by law, and instructing him to either
verify or disprove these charges In the
most substantial way.
SOLD BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT.
In less than week the agent brought
TO the Secretary a written order OF a
member OF the House Of Representatives
for his entire quota OF seeds. which he
proposed to sell to the departments
agent for the sum of SIS.
The purchase was directed to be made,
and instead of cash, the agent gave his
check, which was properly endorsed by
the vendor. and the money was with
drawn from bank.
So 1t happens that Secretary Morton
now has the seeds issued to this member
also the cheek, through which the money
was paid. and the signature OF the men,
ber who sold the seeds.
COST THREE TIMES THAT MUCH.
The department officials decline to men,
ton the name of the congressman now
or to locate him. but the assurance is
given that the whole transaction, name
and all, will appear In the report as "A
striking example of the evil to which the
Secretary has so frequently called the
attention of Congress.
The full quota of seeds furnished a
member of Congress by the department
consists. on an average. OF 400 packages
of flower seeds, 1900 OF vegetable, and
So quarts of field seeds. grasses, etc.
The total cost of this quota 10 the de-
partment Is between sos and &9. The
department In this transaction got the
whole lot back for SO. The Secretary Is
making an effort to abolish the free dis
tribution of seeds entirely, for the reason
that 1t has grown into an evil that wds
never contemplated when the original
law was enacted.
