IRON AND STEEL.

The iron and steel situation shows in
rent reports, the furnaces are all sold
up, and it is actually difficult to Sc
cure pig iron for nearby delivery. The
principal furnaces. in fact, are said to
be sold up for the remainder of this
year. Under such a condition of
things, prices are very firm, with the
possibility of any lower quotations for
the remainder of the year practically
removed. Ore is reported also to be
scarce and Notwithstanding the fact
that wages have already been advanced,
there is said to be considerable danger
from labor troubles. The total fur
mace capacity shows but little increase,
although some new furnaces are going
into blast. Manufactured iron and
steel are likewise firm and advancing.
The advance in building materials has
been very appreciate in nearly every
thing except bricks. For these it is
true, slightly better prices are being
asked than were obtained several weeks
ago, but there cannot be said to be any
thing like a very radical and general
advance. The market has not been
booming in any sense of the word.
The supply seems to be fully adequate
to meet the demand, and, as far as can
be seen at present, it is likely to be
for some time to come. While um-
Der and all kinds of metals have been
advancing rapidly, bricks have remain
ed practically stationary. This ac-
counts doubtless to some extent for the
increased number of brick structures
which have begun to be erected lately,
and while present conditions last, this
tendency towards increased brick con-
struction will probably continue.
Whether this will in time result in such
an enlarged demand for bricks as to re-
duee supplies and materially advance
prices, remains to be seen.

Frederick Komp, in his suit in the
New York supreme court against James
l. Raymond, president Of the A. A. Van
tine company, claimed that the latter
owed him something over $6000 while
the defendent claimed that it owed him
but $3.50. In December, 1890, Komp
agreed in writing to render services in
the empire of Japan for the defendant
for five years, at a specified yearly sal
airy, a portion Of which was to be paid
monthly to him in Japan, and the bal
ance when he had completed the con-
tract. After the services had been per-
formed, a dispute arose as to the bal
ance due. which depended upon whether
the plaintiff was to be paid in Japanese
money called yens, or the money of the
United States. If the former then the
defendant was right, but If the latter
the plaintiff was entitled to $4,000. 1t
appeared that plaintiff accepted and
used check from defendant for $1250,
and signed the following, which was in
dorsed upon the back of the contract:
Received payment March 8, 1896, $3.50,
being in fun payment of his contract,
expiring Jan. 1, 1896, with salary, inter-
est, and allowances, besides closing this
account to March l, 1885, The first APP
pellate division has reversed judgment
given on the trial in favor of the plain
tiff, holding, by Justice Mclaughlin,
that the transaction constituted an ac-
cord and satisfaction, as matter of law.
