WEEKLY REVIEW
OF IRON MARKET
Demand is Principally For Early
Deliveries.
NO. FOUNDRY H0LDSAT ST.
One Large Southern Interest Has With
drawn Because of Oversold Condi-
tion-More Hopeful Feeling Among
Producers and Consumers
NO. 2 FOUNDRY HOLDS ATS11

Cincinnati, September 2-(Special i'm
reviewing the iron market for the week
ending Saturday, September 1, Rogers,
Brown & Co. say:
THE business of the past week has been
very satisfactory both in number of orders
booked and the aggregate tonnage. The
demand continues principally for early de-
livery, although some contracts have been
accepted for the remainder of the year and
a very limited number for the first six
months of next year. Standard grades of
Southern iron are principally sought, and
there has not been much dealing in the
central territory in charcoal iron, high
silicon or special brands. These will I'M
doubtedly have their turn somewhat later
"A peculiar feature of the situation is
tLat numerous sales of certain brands have
been made at very low figures, and the fur
mace companies most emphatically state
that they have not authorized the sales
and have not received the orders
Zone important Southern interest has
practically withdrawn from the market
for the remainder of the year on foundry
grades because of their oversold condition
They will not accept less than $11. Biz
ningham. for No. foundry, and other
large producers claim to be holding at
from $11 to S11.50. In spite of this a few
companies or their agents, seem to have
become panic-stricken for fear there will
No, be enough business to go around, and
it is reliably reported have been making
sales of No. 2 foundry at about $40, Bir-
mingham basis. There is a decidedly more
hopeful feeling among producers and con-
sumers, and if the trade will only buy to
cover legitimate wants and avoid specula-
ton, there is every prospect for healthy
business during the remainder of the year.
Our quotations remain the same as last
week, but it is to be understood that some
furnaces will not sell at prices as low as
the minimum, while others will perhaps
sell certain grades at less"

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
Business Shows No Signs of Revival
Boom Expected

London, Sept. 1.-The stock exchange was
more cheerful last week, owing to the end
OF the Taffvale Railroad strike, to the be-
lief that the war in South Africa is draw
ing rapidly to close, and to the probable
ity of the withdrawal of the allies from
Pekin. Business, however, shows no signs
of revival, although those who fancy them
selves to know, argued that there must be
large sums waiting investment which cam
not be held much longer, and that a boom
will soon come, feature of which will be
the rise of consols and all other gilt-edged
securities.
The principal dark spot on the financial
horizon is the possibility of a big Russian
loan contracted in France It is known that
Russia needs something like f4O, 900 900 (s2OO,-
OOO,00O to complete the Trans-S Siberian Rail-
road, the necessity of which has been DEM
onstrated during the Chinese crisis 1t Is
argued that If the Russian minister of
finance, M. De White, gets the loan, in
addition to supplying Russia with the
sinews of war, in case she should be dis
posed to break the peace, the large amount
secured would enable NJ. De WHITE to re-
commence his auromaniac policy of hoard
| ing gold, thus disturbing the money mar
kets of the world
On the whole, however, the week was a
good one, prices improving, although con-
soils lost half point
Americans continued dull, largely due to
the prospect of Labor Day, as affecting the
New York market; but prices closed a frac-
ton above parity. Southern Pacific shares
rose ss of point; Baltimore & Ohio, u;
Atchison, u; Erie, VI Norfolk & Western,
| a, and Union Pacific, ".
| Mining shares were steady with unm-
portant variations Rands rose Is points for
| the week.
| Gold continues to flow in. Discount rates,
| though harder at the beginning of the week,
| closed fairly easy, until Monday, per cent,

Advertises the South at the Paris EXPOSE
tion-Receives the Highest Awards.
That the exhibits of Southern products
which the Southern Railway is now max
ing at the Paris Exposition, are attractive
and typical of the enterprise of that pro-
gressive system is fully shown by the
awards which are given. These include two
grand prizes, the highest award given at
,De exposition, and two silver medals.
The Grand Prizes were gwen to the
Southern Railway, one for it's exhibit of
Southern products in the United States
Agricultural Department, and one for the
Forestry Annex, probably the most unique
structure in the Paris Exposition. This
building is of the log cabin style, made of
long, straight. symmetrical yellow pine
logs from along the Southern Railway
All of its material is an advertisement of
Southern timbers. Inside is the office of
the Southern Railway, the front and sides
OF which consist of eight Doric columns
of hard, finely polished Southern woods;
the flooring of Southern pine as these are
in. the exposition, the ceiling and sides,
of more than seventy varieties of Southern
woods; and the walls hung with many fine
photographs of mining, manufacturing
numbering and landscape scenes. For this
Photographic display a silver medal was
given, as we'll as another for a similar dis
play in the Department of Social Economy

BALLEYHOO BEY
Is BADLY HURT
May Not Be Able to Run Again
This Season.
TROUBLE AMONG JOCKEYS
Tod Sloane Charges That the Other
Boys Formed Conspiracy Against
Him-McJoynt is Suspended
For the Season

New York, September 2.-The World to-
morrow will say:
William c. Whitney's Balfyhoo Bey, who
won the Flatbush stakes at Sheepshead
Bay yesterday, was cut down and may not
run again this season, If ever. McJoynt,
who caused the injury to Ballyhoo Bey,
was suspended for the remainder of the
meeting. Foxhall Keene charged Sloan
with fouling Tommy Atkins and declared
that he would not start another horse at
the meeting, and tried to scratch Voter in
the Ocean Handicap, but was too late. Tod
Sloan charged that the accident was a
Jockeys conspiracy to beat him. Hardly
had the race ended when Foxhall Keene
rushed to the judges stand. He was as
white as death from anger and excitement.
He claimed a foul against Ballyhoo Bey.
McJoynt was called to the stewards stand;
Spencer went up without being called
Tommy Burns went up and Sloan was sent
for. MoJoynt said that his horse had
swerved through no fault of his; the state
ment of Burns and Spencer was that Sloan
had fouled them. Sloan said that Tommy
Atkins and Alard Sheck had struck him.
The stewards refused to allow foul and
then suspended McJoynt
After the race Sloan said:
Smile and Alard Sheck were beaten
McJoynt and Tommy Burns saw 1t. They
heard Tommy Atkins coming up and one
Or both deliberately pulled over to shut
him off, and thinking it me on Balyhoo
Bey, they shut out Spencer and hurt the
man they wanted to help"
William c. Whitney Said:
MY colt was so badly cut that If he
was not as game as he is speedy he would
not have won. He will hardly run again
this season.
