IRON REVIEWED
Situation Continues to Improve-General
ACTIVITY Noted

New York, Sept. 6-The Iron Age, in its
weekly review of the condition of the iron
and steel trades, says the situation in pig
iron lis not yet really a thoroughly sound
one. although it has continued to improve.
There has been slight movement in Bess-
emer pig at Pittsburg, but at the sacrifice
of prices.
Continuing, the Iron Age says Our blast
furnace statistics which we have succeed
ed In getting together much earlier than
usual, show that there has been further
decline in the current rate of production
by 1850 tons weekly for the coke furnaces,
which would represent $4,000 tons per
month. But stocks have exhibited further
increase this month of "a 900 tons, so that
apparently supply and demand are not yet
balanced. This leaves out of considera ton.
however the invisible stocks in the hands
of meters which we know are lighter than
they have been.
ION the other hand II asserted that the
the large steel works who make their own
iron, and these are not included in our re-
turns quite heavy
1.-The movement in foundry iron has con-
tinued. This time 1t Is Cincinnati which re-
ports a heavy tonnage, largely in the low
er grades We are advised that a local fur
mace interest has also sold from 10000 to
IL, 900 tons of forge and foundry iron in the
Pittsburg district.
Manufacturers make much of increased

Some Late Fashion Notes.

Laces will be used on everything this fall
from chiffon to fur
A novelty to be introduced the coming
season Is phosphorized SILK, SO caiieo De
cause the surface has a phosphorescent ef-
feet. intended to suggest the glimmer on
the sea-
Another novelty is panne metallique. A
special process gives metallic sheen 10
the panne and it is highly enectlve.
Changeable striped and broche panne is
also shown.
One new fad is a tiny mirror in an
enameled locket that is worn on long
gold chain. At the side of the locket is
pretty design, generally with figure
upon it, then when the slit opens the mir
ror is disclosed.
Buttons promise to be very fashionable,
and handsome new designs are made of
steel, gold, crystal, jet, mother of pearl,
as we'll as a combination of steel, gold,
mother of pearl and paste jewels. Enamel
buttons, with and without jewels, gold
and oxydized silver and cameo buttons are
also in vogue.
Persian and other Oriental embroidery
designs are the latest idea in shirt waist
decoration, embroidered bands being in
serted idBOHdiy at TIE lioht
Embroideries and spangled GALLON will
be among the foremost trimmings of the
fall and winter, and very handsome new
designs are put forth every day.
Lace and spangies: will be used to a
large extent, and form an important feat
ure of evening gowns Spangles will be
used merely to outline patterns on the
dress fabric instead of covering it COM
pletely, as was the style last year.
Diamonds rubies and emeralds for even
ing wear are cut to the shape for which
they are required and set so that not an
atom of gold is visible. The very best
style of mounting is on simple and al
most invisible wire or thread of platinum.
Trails of light flowers or separate motifs
that can be Joined together to make
necklet or parure for the hair are being
mounted in this manner

cost of production, but notably in the case
of the southern furnace companies, the
claim of past low figures fingers too per-
sistent1y.
.Steei billets continue very quiet, and It
is intimated for large quantities 81 would
be considered. The settlement of the tin
plate scale will involve a monthly consump-
ton of steel of 10000 to 5000 tons. Then 1t
is likely, too, that the Union Bar Mills in
the central west will settle labor matters
this week which will furnish an outlet for
further tonnage. But until the demand of
finished matter develops sales of billets
must remain quiet.
in the metal trade the most important
development is the starting of the tin plate
mills. Now that probably the old high
priced contracts have been worked off, the
trade expects some lowering to correspond
with the decline in raw material

PROCEEDINGS
To Enjoin Payment Of Bonds Issued to
Railroad

Chattanooga, Sept. 6.-Proceedings have
been instituted here in the chancery court
to enjoin the city of Chattanooga from pay
ing the bond issue of 100000, which will
soon be due the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road Company. The case had been pending
in the federal court but was transferred
to the chancery jurisdiction, and will be
heard at the October session. The grounds
of the injunction are that according to the
State constitution the bonds were illegally
issued.
