J IRON TRADE REVIEW.


NEW YORK. July 10. Revie~ing
the trade conditions, the Iron Age says:
Our usual monthly pig iron statistics
sho that production while it continued
TO increase in June was inadequate to
meet the demand, the stocks having
been further reduced. The production
OF the coke and anthracite furnaces ex-
banded from 249.00O tons weekly on
June to 257 900 tons weekly on July l,
and yet furnace and warrant STOCKS
fell from 215,00O to $4,000 tons, or TOUR
days supply, reckoned on the Whole
output This figure is, however, some
what misleading since the STOCKS cover
only the metal on, hand at the iur-
naces running for the open market,
representing about one-cuarter OF the
output. But even making due allow
ance for this the stocks are at very
low eDb.
It is true that a number OF furnaces
have started since the first Oh this
month and that others will be in before
the beginning of August but yet an
easing in the situation is not yet IN
sight. particularly since an important
group Of furnaces in the Shenango Val
ley are banked on account of labor
troubles. Although they are expected
to start soon a certain amount OF ton
mage has been lost
The pig iron markets have been
fairly active and in the east continue to
display an advancing tendency. In
Pittsburg there has been a moderate
movement in Bessemer pig at 5000 de-
livered.
Some moderate sales of steel billets
I have been recorded and there is now an
inquiry in the eastern market for a
block of about $4,000 tons for delivery
during the current year.
In regard to the contract for lS0,0OO
tons OF steel rails for Russia we have
it from good source that the business
is practically closed.
Structural material mas been advan-
ced S. per ton during the week, thus
bringing that branch into line with
other departments.
The sheet market has shown great
activity and q further advance has
been made.

CHANGED THEIR MINDS.

WASHINGTON, July 13-Secretary AL
ger this morning received a telegram from
San Francisco containing the unanimous
request of the Oregon regiment for mus
ter out at San Francisco. The Oregon
regiment had previously elected to be mus
tered out at Portland, but evidently came
to the other decision en- route. After con-
sultation with the President it was decid-
ed to accede to the request. Travel pay
and Communication of ratons will be issued
to the Oregon soldiers.

Stocks-The heaviness which was
predominant in the stock market to-
day represented the shifting Wall
street sentiment regarding the money
situation more than anything else,
though it was emphasized by the rise
in the Bank of Englands minimum rate
of discount to 3@ per cent. and the
acute weakness of the local traction
stocks, especially Brooklyn Transit,
which dropped over 31a at one time.
Wall street had it that a strike had
actually been declared, and the stock
in that group rallied when this can
ard was denied. Wall street seemed
to lay more stress on the advance in
the Bank Of England rate than London
itself. The stock market there was
dull, but prices, especially of Ameri
cans, were well maintained, in spite of
the rise in the private discount rate.
There was sharp rally in British
consols and in French rentes and for
eign markets seemed to be relieved
from the tension of apprehension over
the Transvaal situation. But never
theless prices of the internationals led
the decline in New York and many
stocks had fallen point in the course
of the first hour, the grangers being
conspicuous. Sugar also developed ear
ly weakness and only partly recov-
cred its decline. The southwestern
stocks offered a point of resistance,
Missouri Pacific leading, as was the
case yesterday, and st. Louis South
western preferred and Texas & Pacific
following the rise. Anaconda was also
strong, following London's lead, and
was one time up 2 points. There was
sympathetic activity and strength in
Amalgamated Copper in the outside
market, the shares rising above SO.
During the afternoon strength devel-
oped in Federal Steel, American Steel
and Wire, American Cotton Oil, which
induced general recovery in the spe-
cialties. Northern Pacific rose to 81
in the late dealings and checked the
declining tendency on realizing. New
York Air Brake, after an early decline,
jumped ~ points and Mobile & Ohio
rose 5. The local money market was
easier in tone, but operators who
bought yesterday on the prospect of a
favorable bank statement were inclin-

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.

During the storm yesterday after
noon, a frame house at the corner of
Hampton and Twelfth streets, occu-
pied by Lewis Parry and family. was
struck by lightning and several strips
of siding torn from the building. one
of the women in the house was peeling
potatoes at the time, and was so fright
ened that she cut her hand with the
knife she was using. The damage to
the building was small.
A streak of lightning also flashed
through an opening in the roof of the
mule barn at the Hampton mine and
killed two of the mules tied in the
building. The structure was not dam
aged.
a frame building situated in Lincoln
Heights was struck by the fiery ele-
mcnt and damaged to some extent.
