THE BICYCLE TRUST.
Moro Discussions Tint Threaten to
Disrupt the Combination.

Disrupt tho Combination.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The Herald
says: More dissensions have arisen In
the bicycle trust and threaten to dis
rupt TINT giant combination. When the
hundred or more manufacturers of BIZ
cycles and bicycle parts gave options
on their plants to A. G.. Spaldlng to
June Lit was understood that such
plants as were accepted by him were to
be paid for in cash by that time.
Scores of manufacturers came to the
city last week with the eXpecta ton of
closing their deals with the manager CT
the trust: They were more or less In
dlgnont when they were requested to
extend their options 10 August /. 1t
now develops that several OF them made
determined protests against delay and
at least one Of the biggest makers In the
combination refused fatty TO renew his
option.
More than this, the opposition to the
trust that was led originally by r. T.
Cileman, was revived and, threatens TO
develop more strength than It at first
possessed. 1t will be remembered that
after the Incorporation OF the American
Bicycle Company with capital OF $780,.
100000. Mr.. Coleman who had previously
incorporated the International Vehicle
and Manufacturing Company. n much
smaller capitalization. surrendered. The
attorney for Mr.. Coleman said yesterday
that Mr.. Coleman was now out OF the
trust for good. having positively re-
fused to extend the option on his plant.
Among manufacturers this is taken to
mean that Mr.. Coleman with the aid Of
several other large bicycle Manufacture
ers. vehicle md part makers. will follow
out his original Intention of fighting
the trust at all points.

THE IRON TRADE.
Market Getting Into an Excited Con-
dition--Scarcity Of Material.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Dlscusslng
trade conditions the Iron Age Will say
to-day: af
The market is getting into more and
more excited condition and the scarcity
OF material Is even more pronounced
than 1t has been. Prices are Irregular in
this respect, that they vary within
considerable limits, early deliveries
commanding a considerable premium,
whose magnitude depends upon the cir
cumstances governing each Individual
case.
Large interests have been covering
forward and requirements to an extent
which reflects both their confidence In
the future and the fact that they are
swelling their order books. Last week
a leading interest in the central west
bought $4,000 tons OF pig iron, but on
the hand another large consolidation
withdrew from the market an inquiry
for about 10000 tons. Since then the
market has advanced sharply and to-
dry the bessemer association Is to Ak a
new price. which It is generally ex-
pected will be SIS at valley furnace, It
Is estimated that the furnaces In the
association can only offer for sale at
the utmost for this years delivery be-
tween $4,000 and G0.OO0 tons.
IN the east there have been sales of
basic pig iron to the extent OF about
10000 tons at close to SIG, delivered.
In Chicago the Republic iron and steel
company has purchased large lots of
grey forge pig iron for their different
pl3nts and have also closed FOR about
5000 tons of sheet blllets at private
terms.
Reports are beginning to crop up
concerning the suspension of enter
prlses through the rapid rise in iron
and steel. We have Investigated one
important line. that relating to struc-
tural material for bridges and build
lngs and find that while number Of
Instances are cited. the majority of the
construction shops have not met with
such experiences.
THE great steel works and rolling
mills are crowded with work well Into
the eios!ag months Of this year and In
their sales have discounted the addi-
lions to plants now under way.
The really serious question Is to
what extent and at what prices buyers
who are now working up cheap material
va sS'e iHNo lHc 'idthet. me rapid
rise Is naturally causing uneasIness,
since n sharp reaction might lead to
cancellations and to withholding of

Is not the slightest Indication OF that.

Baron Speck Won Sternberg, represent

Of the British embassy ut Washington,

that they would satisfactorily end the
trouble in Samoa.

order his followers to disarm. unless the

the Germans are preparing compen-
