10 COPYRIGHT NEWS.

Proposed to Give Energetic Publishers Pro-
teetion in Great Britain
LONDON, August 10.-The copyright
bill. as amended by the House.of Lords
select committee, has been issued.
In a memorandum to the bill, Lord
Thring calls attention to- clause Il,
which provides that the proprietor of
any newspaper or news agency shall be
entitled for is hours to the exclusive
right to publishing foreign news which
he has obtained specially and indie
pendently, and impose minimum
penalty CT one pound, and maximum Of
so pounds on each copy of a publication
in which news is published within is
hours without the consent of the pro-
prietor.
His Lordship remarks that the clause
odds to the law by making news indie
pendent of the form in which it is con-
veyed, the subject of copyright, and
by imposing an efficient penalty for in
fringment He adds that there seems
no reason why news acquired by the
exercise of great ability and great ex-
pense should not be protected by copy
r ght as much as a letter or article COM
menting on news so acquired.

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, August 1O.-In lbs re-
view of current trade conditions the
Iron Age to-day will say:
Our monthly blast furnace statistics
again show a more moderate increase
in the output than there was reason
to expect, the growth in capacity being
from 2S7,345 tons weekly of coke and
anthracite iron ON July 1, to 261, 4S3
tons weekly On August /, an increase of
Abs tons, or say 1900 tons month.
The furnace stocks have declined 1890
tons and the warrant stocks 7,1O0 tons,
a total of $4,000 tons, so that the bal
ance of production and consumption
would seem to be pretty close now, if
it were not for the consideration that
consumption has been actually hamper
ed by the scarcity Of pig iron.
A comparison is instructive between
the capacity at work on August /, 1899,
and on the corresponding date of last
year. In the east and in Central Penn
sylvania there were running on August
1, 1898, thirty-eight furnaces, producing
weekly 32,557 tons. In the beginning
of this month there were active in the
same districts So furnaces producing
weekly AZ, 807 tons In the central west,
including Western Pennsylvania, the
Wheeling valley, Cleveland, Illinois and
Northwest, there were at work SO fur
naces with a productive capacity of 140,-
$50 tons per week, while now IS are
working, making 176,136 tons weekly.
In the South the increase during the
year has been from 81 furnaces, max
ing 1922 tons Of iron to IS stacks,
burning oIt 36,140 tons per week
Both the east and the south are still
expanding. The west is up to its limit,
the only additions possible being the
new stacks approaching completion at
Lorain, Youngstown and Pittsburg.
Buying for delivery during the first
week of 1900 is decidedly expanding in
the pig iron trade, and evidence is ac-
cumulating that the business is being
done on the basis of present prices TO
very considerable extent. In some
sections and in some cases prices are
guaranteed by the seller.
In foundry iron large sales have been
| made in Chicago, Buffalo and at other
points, largely for 1900 delivery. There
have also been resales of warrant iron
for immediate delivery. that being the
only means to secure iron at once.
We understand that about 10000 tons
have been placed in this manner.
From Pittsburg comes the report Of
the sale of about 10000 tons of Besse-
mer pig for the first half of 1900 at the
record-breaking price Of s21.50 at valley
furnace.
Steel is very quiet, but good run of
orders is still coming up in the line Of
finished material.

Stocks-To-day's stock market was
q good deal more active than for some
time past, and showed undeniable eyid-
ence of strength. But the strength was
for the most part in spots and the
speculation did not get far outside pro-
fessional limits. The favorites were
the industrials, and only few of the
railroads made any conspicuous gains
The most prominent movement of the
day was in Leather stocks, the common
rising 15s, and the preferred IA on
very heavy dealings in the first
named.
The iron and steel stocks as a group,
all showed strength in somewhat vary
ing degree, but gains in most of them
reached a point and in some of them
approached two points. Tennessee
Coal and Iron was the leader of the
group and of the market, with rise
Of nearly 8 points on very heavy de-
mand. The strength in this group is
accounted for by the extraordinary con-
dition in the iron trade, where produc-
ton of the lower grades, although
largely increased, seems quite unable
to keep pace with consumption in the
higher grades of the industry. Ana
conda mining shows handsome gain,
and there was q very large demand
for National Lead American Smelt-
ing. American Tin Plate, Colorado Fuel
and various other stocks more or less
affected by conditions in the iron
trade were firm in sympathy. Sugar,
Peoples Gas, Detroit Gas and Lipseed
Gil preferred had their periods Of
strength.
In the railroad list speculation was
inclined to hold aloof pending the pub
LEGATION of the government crop report.
The ST. Paul statement for the first
week of August, prompted some buying
of the grangers. Gains of point or
over were shown by Chicago, Great

Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, Oregon
Navigation, Hooking Valley preferred,
Wheeling G. Lake Erie preferred, Pitts
burg, C. c. & st. L., Iowa Central pre-
ferred and Pacific coast. Develop
ments in the money market continued
to receive much attention but were not
important to-day. Anxiety as to the
outlook was, however, appreciably less.
Outside money continued TO be offered
in the local market call money con-
tinued rather easy and rates for prime
mercantile paper was shaded slightly.
Time money, however, continues firm
and lenders are not anxious to do busi-
ness at present rates. The failure Of
.the Bank Of England to advance It's
Frates above 3l5 per cent, seemed to
have a good sentimental effect on the
london market, bat private discount
rates there were unchanged.
London bought stocks here to mod
crate extent.
