TEE METAL MARKET.
Review for the currsn. Week by the
Manufacturer.

Review for the Current week py tue
Manufacturer.
The conditions governing the iron and
! steel market continue to improve as the
season advances and out of door work
becomes permittable the Improvement
will be stu more marked, says the cur
rent issue of the Ohio Valley Manufac-
turer, The continued purchase of small
lots for immediate delivery shows that
dealers and consumers have no metal
ON hand, and that they are limiting
their purchase to the present demand.
The firm tone OF the market is mystify-
ing to many, as they are constantly re-
calling rates one year ago, forgetting
that ore, coal and coke have been ad-
vanced since the higher prices Of No
vember and labor also has demanded
and received large part Of the addi-
tional price Of the finished product. The
hesitating condition Of the market does
not indicate anything but Indifference
on the part OF the seller and deluded
hope on the part Of the buyer. There
are some few exceptions to the above,
for they are always to be found, no
matter what the conditions are. sellers
who have no regular market and are
only too willing to step in and quote a
close price to an occasional buyer. Bro
kers, too, are looking for Just the same
opportunity. Thus are rumors started
that cause the general trade to hold off
until assured that better rates cannot
be had and pressing needs force the
buyer to place his order. Meanwhile,
makers are, whIstllngi knowing full
well that harvest Is in sight and are
busy preparing for It,
Pig Iron.-Rumors Of the accumula-
ton or depletion Of stocks OF pig have
had the same Indifferent effect on the
general trade, even the report that
trades have been made at fifty cents to
seyenty-hye cents nderthe marketrnte
has not caused a ripple onthe placid sur
face OF the market. It is the general
opinion that such trade cannot have
any influence. The price remains firm at

Bfllets.-There Is still lack Of husi-
ness in steel bIllets and slabs, and
while the rate, R24, is the same as II has
been for some time, there is no active
demand nor desire to sell. Many Of the
makers are working steel into finished
products and have neither blllets nor
slabs 10 sell, while others have con-
tracts on hand that use all that is ship
ped them, and thus there is no evidence
Of giut in the market.
Finished Material.-sheet, bar, skelp
and muck iron are dull with few inqulr-
les at the present rates, While steel
sheets are active and inquiries numer-
Gus, yet makers are not taking any
business for deliveries after April /, as
the American Steel Company will have
charge of their mills by that date. The
plans of the new company are being
formulated rapidly and there is no
question as to the deal being consume
mated.
Old Materials.-The market for old
material IS in n generally healthy con-
dltion. and while tho demand for Iron
exceeds that for steel, prices are firm
and the demand continues in excess of
the supply

ga BLACK sheep.n

Next Saturday matinee and evening,
at the Opera House, Hoyt's great COM
edysuccess, "a Black Sheep" will make
It's bow to the thsatre.goers Of this city,
ana that the piece will be accorded a
royal welcome Is already evidenced. "A
Black Sheep runs over three acts and
is filled with good humor In the true
Hoytian style. The fun Is constant, and
from the rise OF the curtain to the fall
on the last act there Is not q dull mo
ment. There h no great effort ut a
plot, but there Is enough Of an idea to
enable the author to keep his audience
In continuous laughter. The piece is
handsomely staged, all the scenery be
ing OF special design. The costumes and
trapplngs ure said to be extravagnnt,
and the gowns worn by some OF the
ladies in the cast have been highly
spoken Of.

AMusENrENTs.

There have been farce comedies and
farce comedies from time immemorial,
but when Hoyt offered "a Trip to Chi
natown" there was something original
In It There was a careless abandon Of
everything conventional, yet nothing
harsh greeted the ears; It was as re-
fined as the most fastidIOus could de-
sire It was rolllclsing piece eof fun,
Astounding with ludlcrous situations
and teemlnE with rip-roaring denou-
ments 1t shook up the wornOut soul OF
the phlegmatic, jostled the risibilldes,
tIckled the senses, amused and stimu-
lated. This evening at the Opera House
Mr.. Hoyt's superb revival Of this popu-
lar comedy success will be presented.
The cast Is said to present the strongest
array OF talent ever organized for a
comedy production, including as II does
such people as Harry Gilfoil, every
body's favorite; Gus p Thomas. Of The
original production; Mable Montgom-
cry, the American Duse; Emile Gard
liner OF the Jaxson Opera Company;
Eleanor Falk. the queen OF Partisan
songs; Finn Reynolds, Maud Wynn,
George Shields. Frank c. Young. VIII
Lewis, Bertha Madison and others.

The Ohio Valley Trades & Labor AS
sembiy held regular meeting yester-
day afternoon. with a small attendance
The chief proceeding of interest was
the resolutions relative to the Red Ash
mine disaster. Otherwise, the session
was almost featureless.
The following resolution Of sympathy
for the Red Ash mine sufferers was
offered by Delegate Stein and unani-
mously adopted, and copies viii be for

GestiEation into the cause OF the great

The arbitration committee reported a
settlement of the protracted trouble be-
tween a merchant and the clerks I'M

The next proceeding was a motion
offered relative to direct legislation
which called forth from Mr.. Hays, Of
Bridgeport, whose hobby is socialism,
thlrty-fvs-minute dissertation from
the appeal to Reason" which he
yanked from his pocket. For awhile
the assembly stood the long, monoton-
Gus reading, but after half an hour Of
It there were rumbles of dissent, and
one delegate asked the reader ITO cut
1t short as several Of the delegates are
going out" The man with a hobby Is
hard to head of, and It was thus In
this case. He kept on despite the
coughing and laughter, and the ripple
grew to a storm of protest, and Mr.,
Hays had to sit down with a sigh. At
nearly every meeting he has Clucidated
the assembly on a similar topic, but
never at such length, Bis pockets were
gorged with literature.
The direct legislation resolution,
which also called for the election of
United States senators by popular
vote. was adopted without comment.
The trustees were empowered to re-
paper the assembly's hall. To recuper-
ate the treasury. committee Of eight
was suggested to mako arrangements to
give concert and ball. This was not
favored by President Bauer, who
thought the assemblys annual picnic
was enough. It was pointed out to the
president that II the ball was paying

honor tho national labor day this year.
This delegate thought tho ball would
pay before the primaries" but his
idea was opposed by others, who
thought the ball at this season would
lower the dignity OF the assembly.
The concert and ball motion was
then laid on the table.

apecause SIG loved Him 81

William Gillette's latest success, BE
cause She Loved Him &c." will be seen
for the first time in this city at the
Opera House next Friday night. March
IS. This is the play which packed the
Madison Square Theatre in New York
all last season, and everywhere 1t has
been seen this season 1t has duplicated
Its New York success. The piece is an
adaptation Of q French farce by Bison
and Leclercq. It is hard to believe that
such cleanly and innocuous plot ever
saw Paris or that Paris ever laughed at
It. Mr.. Gillette is such clever adapter
that the result Is an agreeable mixture
OF roaring farce and dainty comedy.
There are scenes which actually possess
that tender quality Of humor which
touches the heart, and there are scenes
so violently nonsensical that one must
not think about them at all, but simply
laugh. The play will be produced under
the direction OF Julius Calm, who has
sent in a number Of good plays in the
past.

There is occasion for a rain storm in
the first act of "At the White Horse
Tavern" which comes to the Opera
House Wednesday night, and this alone,
it Is said, is well worth the journey to
see. The storm begins with the usual
effects Of a darkened stage, thunder and
lightning. Then the rain comes down,
not a mere shadow Of the back drop"
but real rain, that splntters over every
thing, including the players. II runs
from the roof of the tavern In great
streams, and down the spout and into
