Special Dispatch to the Observation-Disclosures.
VANCOUVER, II. G., June 20. - The
steamer Alpha. which arrived here on
sunday night from Cape Nome, owes 1t
to good luck alone that she was not
caught by one of Uncle Sans revenue
cutters. The Alpha carried Canadian
goods and passengers to Nome without
paying cent OF duty, and her breach
of the customs laws is now notorious

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL.
A Glance at the Markets.

A Glance at the Alarkets.
Ohio Valley Manufacturer.
Room 10, Masonic Building,
WHEELING, February LIST, 1900.
A marked improvement in the iron
and steel trade is reported. The sales.
of the past ten days are larger than for
the thirty days preceding Ever since
the high price of last November, buy
ers have been endeavoring to beat the
price, and while they have been sue
cessful they must remember that there
is limit to their power. On reliable
information we can state that rates are
as low now as can reasonably be ex-.
pected for some time to come. The
sales of the past week have been very
satisfactory to makers, for in some in
stances an increase of fifty cents on
ton has been asked and accepted. The
buyer that finds weak holder is en-
titled to his reward. Sellers feel more
sanguine than at any time during the
last sixty days, the orders that are in
sight being delayed only by the hope
of the buyer for some additional con-
cession, and as the market has become
so firm, the seller has the power to set
prices. The month of February will
be very active, as many of the contracts
now open will be closed, and the mar
ket rates will be firm.
Pig Iron-The market for Grey Forge
and Bessemer pig is firm at an advance
of fifty cents per ton. The demand is
not supplied as shown by the report of
the metal brokers. Their figures show
about one-third the amount on hand
compared with one year ago.
Billets-The demand for steel billets
and slabs has fallen off and the general
opinion is that the makers are SO well
sold on future deliveries and large buy
ers are supplied, yet the market is firm
at s34.50
Finished Materials spring ap-
proaches the demand for all kinds of
finished iron and steel Increases. The adj
vance in tin plate and the bright out
look for the canning season is not the
only cause of the demand. Bar and
structural steel are in brisk demand and
makers are being urged for prompt de-
liveries.
Old Material-There is more life in
the scrap market than for several
weeks, and while the amounts sold are
small and the price weak, yet the bust
ness has been fairly satisfactory.
