IRON AND STEEL
Business Still Remains Firm in Spite
of the Wire Mills Shut Down.

NEW YORK. April 1s-The Iron
Age today says:
Those who have been working to Sc
cure lower prices for iron and steel
have been ably reinforced from an un-
expected quarter during the week. 1t
is quite unusual for men representing
large producing interests to come out
plainly and say that the trade is suf-
fering from overproduction and that
heavy reductions in price are to be
expected.
Ordinarily such conditions are con-
cealed as long as possible and conces-
sions are made secretly so as not to
alarm the trade generally. But we are
now being treated to an apparently
frank admission Of a serious conges-
tion in important branches OF produe-
tion, so serious as to require heroic
treatment.
A round dozen wire nail factories
and wire mills have been shut down
to enable an accumulation Of stock to
be worked of
They were not all shut down at once,
as enormously reported, but during
period of a week or more.
Representatives of other important
branches OF the iron and steel trades
deny the right of wire manufacturers
to speak for them and claim that iron
and steel pri,es generally have not
been threatened with the danger Of
a collapse. Reductions have been
made but they have been brought
about gradually and naturally without
disturbing the trade and no sharp
tumble in values is expected unless
this development in the wire trade
should produce such an effect
The week in other respects has
brought forth indications of inprov-
ing business. Large Western consum-
ers Of foundry iron have placed heavy
contracts for extended deliveries,
among the buyers being some of the
shrewdest members of The trade. The
movement thus begun was reasonably
expected to spread to other consuming
interests. Even in the East, where
buyers have been least inclined to an
tieipate their wants, a disposition to
purchase in greater quantities was be-
ing manifested. Orders for export have
been larger.
This business will probably be check
ed for a little time, as the new con-
ditions here were promptly cabled
abroad, but if it is found in time that
prices have not been demoralized by
what has happened. it is believed that
the endurance of this trying experience
will have quite re-assuring effect on
both home and foreign trade.
The most important event of the
week in finished steel was the placing
of contract for approximately $4,000
tons Of plates, shapes, etc, required
for the construction of the rapid tran
sit tunnel in New York City, which was
secured by the Carnegie Steel Com
pany.
The reduction in the West OF s. per
ton on merchant steel bars and bar
iron, announced as a proof Of rapidly
declining prices, was merely an open
acknowledgment of what several man
ufactu,e ers have quietly been doing for
some tune.

THE RUPTURE WITH TURKEY.
That Country's Minister Does Not Be
lieve the Sultan Agreed to Pay
Our Claims.

/ NEW YORK, April 1s.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish min
lister to the United States, will call at
the state department tomorrow to as
1 certain what foundation there is in
the reports that the administration is
preparing to hand him his passports
in the event the Sublime Porte declines
to pay the missionary claims pending
against it.
Similar queries will be made by rep
resentatives of European governments
in Washington. The state department
is maintaining a discreet silence. al
though it is known that when Secre-
tary Hay returns from New York he
will sign a peremptory lote to the Sub
lime Porte demanding prompt action
upon the American claims.
Ali Forrouh Bey, in discussing the
matter today. declared that Turkey is
not responsible for the claims as it had
given adequate protection to foreigners
residing within its boundaries during
the revolution of some years ago.
Il can hardly believe" he said, that
any foundation exists for the reports
that there is grave danger Of a rupture
in the diplomatic relations between the
United States and the Sublime Porte
on account of the latter's failure to
pay claims arising out Of alleged out
RACES suffered by American mission
aries in Turkey. The relations between
the two governments have always been
of a friendly character and are too
sacred to be so lightly broken off. The
claims amount in all to $4,000, a PAL
try sum, think, upon which to base
such a regrettable and injurious act.
While / have not conducted negotia-
tions on the subject and am, therefore,
not familiar with all the facts, l am
sure that had the sultan given his
promise to pay an immediate settle
ment would have been made.
My government is desirous of full
filling its just obligations and If the
claims of the missionaries can be es-
tablished they undoubtedly viii be set
tied.
Il may add that my government is
responsible in the eyes Of international
law for damages done the property Of
foreigners during revolution. At the
time Of the revolt, however, the Sublime
Porte provided ample protection for
Americans and their interests. This is
all that could have been expected Of
it. Not a single foreigner was killed
or injured.
My relations with the state depart
ment are so cordial that l can hardly
believe there is any foundation Tor the
report that a rupture is impending,
and besides the officials are too far
seeing and possess too much judgment
to assume the responsibility of such
grave policy"
Those close to the Turkish minister
declare that the United States would
be a greater sufferer than Turkey in
the event that diplomatic relations
were suspended. 1t was pointed out
that the importation of American goods
into Turkey is much larger and more
valuable than the importation Of Turk
ish goods into the United States. There
are several hundred missionaries, with
their families, besides other American
citizens in Turkey and they would be
left without protection Of the United
