Condition of Iron


 Pig iron has been very strong all the past week at SITS per ton. The furnaces are getting all the orders that they want at that price, and they are correspondingly happy. Some of them predict an increase of price to SS if the demand keeps up.
 The Tennessee company nas during the first ten days of September sold 23,CoJ tons of iron, and the remarkable part of It IS that 22,OOO tons of it were for export trade. Vice-President Bowron is the authority for this statement The local demand is not so great as it has been, but the. foreign demand is as strong or stronger than 1t has been in several months past.
 The Sloss company has sold very little iron since September l, because they have none to sell. They had already sold all the iron for this years delivery that they can turn out before January 1.
 The railroads are yet experiencing no trouble in handling the iron, though some of them have contracts for moving large quantities. One railroad alone has con- tracted to move 3O,OO0 tons as fast as ton mage can be had for it in vessels sailing from the gulf and south Atlantic ports. The shipments are larger than the amount of pig that is being produced. con- sequently the stocks in the furnace and warrant yards are being drawn on heav- fly.
 The principal furnace news of last week was the blowing in of furnace No at Ensley. This furnace has a capacity of 200 tons daily. It is expected that furnace No. 1 at Bessemer. which has been out of blast for some time, will be blown in early this week.

CRET TO ALLoT THEM.
New Police Station Is Favored-The
Health Department Is Left
Out in the Cold.

A secret conference was held last even
ing of Supervisors Devany, Haskins,
Britt, Sheehan and Delany, to determine
what disposition should be made of the
$3.50 900 surplus cash derived from the re-
cent tax levy. It was not exactly meet
ing Of the Finance Committee, for the
chairman of the committee, Supervisor
Rottanzi, was absent. The caucus, how
ever included the leading spirits of the
close combination in the board which die
tates the policy in all important matters.
AS stated IN yesterdays Call one item
Of proposed expense is for the building
of a new police station on Seventeenth
street. in the Mission district. The esti-
mated cost is sec, 900 and the Supervisors
in caucus favored the appropriation. 1t
was a mooted question with them wheth-
or or not the Board of Health should re-
ceive an additional $4,000 for carrying on
its work. .,
Some weeks ago, prior to the election,
Britt and other Supervisors favored giV-
ing the Health Department an extra $l9, :
0O6 as requested, but the result OF the
baJloting has completely. changed this
feeling and the Democratic Supervisors
caucus yesterday was against doing any
thing to help out the Republican Board or
Health, which it is expected will be soon
