NEW YORK, July 27.-Discussing
trade conditions, the Iron Age" says
to-day:
The uneasiness and scarcity of labor
is one of the most serious phases Of
the present situation. The slightest
pretext is apparently seized upon for
an opportunity to strike. Such disturb
ances have their immediate effect IN
throwing the whole line Of industries
out of gear, so closely dependent upon
work to full capacity is each link In
the chain.
The lake ore situation seems to
cause most uneaSineSS in this d1rec-
ton, and it looks as though estimates
of the. probable tonnage to be brought
to market before the close of naviga-
ton will have to undergo revision.
That this has been anticipated by some
of the large interests is indicated by
the reports that arrangements have
been made to haul large quantities OF
Lake Superior ore to the furnaces by
rail during the whole winter.
1t is somewhat difficult to judge OF
the demand. A good many of the urg-
emit requirements which come up are
really to cover material purchased
FROM but not delivered by other
makers. The majority Of the consum-
ers of raw material seem to be buying
from hand to mouth and show little
disposition to place longtime con-
tracts. unless prices are guaranteed,
which is sometimes done.
On the other hand. testimony from
the leading Western distributing mar
kets for foundry pig iron all agrees on
the point that. the large sales for de-
livery far into next year are being
made at present full prices. This is
certainly not true of the country. east
of the Allegheny Mountains. =
The DEVELOPMENT of the pig iron pro-
duction has, been, as was predicted,
very much slower than the sanguine
were willing to admit. But while that
was true during the first half of 1899,
it will certainly not be true during the
second half Furnaces to make foun-
dry iron are blowing in right and left,
and there will be a notable Increase IN
this direction. The majority of them,
it is true, are sold, ahead, but any dis
turbance of consumption would be
quickly felt.

rious in Bessemer pig, and it is re-
ported that one large interest has been
drawing steadily on its emergency
stocks and may be soon forced to sup
plement its own supply by purchases in
the open market.
There is very little doing IN steel,
although very stiff prices are paid for
small lots for early guaranteed deliv-
cry A second Eastern steel plant has
taken large order for steel pillets for
delivery during the current year.
In the West and East the demand
for bars, shapes, bands, hoops, etc,
continues heavy. Car builders have
placed some good orders and season
contracts from the agricultural imple-
ment makers are coming IN. The
structural mills are under heavy pres
sure and the plate mills continue
swamped.
The wire industry is reported to be
quiet, so far as new business is con-
cerned. This is usually the off sea-
son.
The European markets seem on the
crest of as extraordinary a rise as our
own. In England buyers seem now to
be holding off. From the continent a
continuous stream of inquiries is still
coming in, but little Is being actually

employment in a carriage factory. Gall

victimized out Of $1,000 by two we'll
dressed young men who worked a neat
game. Just before the hour for clos

the German Insurance bank was
rung up by the telephone and asked if
he could accommodate the Citizens
national bank with $1,000 in cur
rency. On being answered in the af-
frmative the inquiring party said he
would send two men around to get the
money. Shortly afterward two young
men appeared at the bank with
check for $4,000 bearing the supposed
signature of the cashier Of the Citi-
zens' national bank. The assistant
cashier, suspecting nothing wrong,
counted out the money to the two
young men, who were profuse in their
thanks as they accepted the money.
When the check reached the clearing
house it was discovered to be a forgery.

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Thieves Entered the Home Of james H.
Campbell In Kansas City and Get
Away With About $1,000.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 7.-Robbers
made a rich haul when they gained an
entrance to the residence Of James H.
Campbell, at 1925 Brooklyn avenue, at
ten o'clock yesterday morning and
made away with $1,000 in currency, q
United States gold-bearing bond Of the
value Of 500 and about $500 worth of
diamonds and jewelry. The story re.
lated to the police by Mrs. Campbell is
that the robbers entered the house
while she and number Of other ladies
were in the parlor. The house was
wide open at the time. The thieves
encountered no difficulty in gaining an
entrance, and they performed their
work SO quietly that the theft Of the
money and diamonds was not dis
covered until nearly an hour after
wards. The money taken by the rob-
bers was tied up in handkerchief and
had been carefully tucked away in a
bureau drawer in room on the second
floor of the Campbell residence. The
police say the robbery was perpetrated
by some person familiar with the
premises. Detectives who visited the
Campbell home soon after the robbery
say that Mrs. Campbell objected to
their working on the case.

FOR A RESERVE FUND.
Important Changes to Be Made In the Laws

Kansas City. No., June THE head
camp of the Modern Woodmen of Amer

two matters Of great Importance to the
order and one which is scarcely of less
interest. The most important action
taken was at the night session, when
the camp voted for the formation Of
reserve fund of some kind, the

question, and one which excited scarce
