THE IRON MARKET.
Steel Corporation Fixes Prices for
 Next Year.

New York, Dec. 12-The Iron Age says:
 "A decision of far-reaching importance has been arrived at by the managers of the United States Steel Corporation. Af- ter considerable discussion and a number of conferences. 1t has been determined to fix the price of lake Iron ore for the coming season the same as 1t was dur ing the current season, viz. A.25. as the base price for old range ores at lower lake ports. Some of the outside ore in- terests showed a strong disposition to favor an advance, while in isolated cases a moderate lower rate was advised. It Is practically settled that the present ore prices will prevail for another sea- son.
 "The same tendency is displayed in certain finished lines The beam and plate associations have held their meet ings during the past week, and after continuing the life of these organizations for another year. have left the basis to remain as they were. Our monthly blast furnace statistics furnish further proof of the tremendous consumption which Is now going on. On December 1, there were coke and anthracite stacks in op- eration. with a capacity of 317, ,35S gross tons, an increase of 3.5S3 tons, as com pared with November 1.
 'In the past month stocks have de- clined 42000 tons. Counting in the char coal furnaces, we are now producing at the rate of 16,S50,000 tons per annum as against the maximum record of 13, ,7S9 001 tons In l9OO, ana vet We are constantly drawing on what little stock the country is carrying.
 "The difficulties in securing a supply of coke made the production of Novem- her fall below the quantity of the blast furnace returns for, the beginning.
 This caused a deficiency of product close to 100000 tons. On the other hand some furnaces had to pile iron because they could not get cars to send it to customers eager to secure the raw ma terial.
 Quite number of independent fur nacemen have contracted for their next years supply of coke at $2.15 to $2.25 at the ovens, an advance over last year
 "A number of malleable iron foundries in the Chicago district have been unable to secure prompt delivery of coke pig iron. Some good sales have been made and others are pending.
 Some large tonnage has been placed in plates. both in the Philadelphia and in the Chicaoo districts

DOWAGER EMPRESS DEAD
Mother of Emperor William Of Ger
MANY Passes AWAY.

Cronberg, Aug. 6.-Dowager En-
press Frederick died yesterday at
6:15 p. m. The death of the dowager
empress was somewhat sudden. AT
4 o'clock her physicians reported no
change in her condition. Emperor
William and her majesty's other chill
dren We're in the SICK room most of
the day.
Hamburg, Aug. GA premature
statement that the dowager empress
was dead was given out officially at
Homburg castle shortly after noon.
Copies were posted in half the shop
windows of the town. The blinds
were drawn in the windows of many
of the residences and all flags were
half-masted. A little later the prin-
cipal street of Homburg was filled
with shoppers buying black. Then
came word that the news was false.
There seems little doubt that the
message came from Friedrichshof, al
though who sent it no one seems to
know. Count Marshalhaupt, who
gave out the accurate announcement,
has been summoned to Cronburg The
false news was telegraphed widely,
and many German cities displayed
signs of mourning. When the official
contradiction was sent, this was
scarcely believed. Some of the mourn
ing emblems in Cronburg were al
lowed to remain. These were great
ly multiplied when the flag on Erie
drichshof futtered down to half
mast. One by one the little shops
brought out fog poles bearing Ger
man colors at half mast, with crepe
above and below. Even the cottages
were decked with scrap of black.
Soon after nightfall Emperor Will
liam, accompanied by the empress
and the crown prince, drove back to
Homburg. Whether the body will lie
in state has not vet been determined.
The details for it's removal to be in
TERED by the side of the remains of
Emperor Frederick will be discussed
in Homburg tomorrow. The dowager
empress knew her days were few.
She had said farewell to most of her
servants. 1t is understood that she
has arranged for the future of near
ly every one of them. She had eN-
pressed desire that not much
should be known by the public con-
corning her disease, lest some should
be saddened by the condition of her
sufferings. There was much reluct-
ance in summoning King Edward, as
it was not desired that he should
have long wait. Tonight the chill
dren of the deceased placed floral
tributes around the body. The face
wears a singularly peaceful express
sion, almost childlille, having shrunlS
from it's normal size. In the course
of the evening several kilograms OF
coincidence arrived from European
sovereigns addressed to Emperor Will
liam.

Many Rebels in Cape Colony.

London, Aug. 3.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail
places the strength of the Beers in
Cape Colony between 1000 and 5000
men, almost all of whom are rebels.
The Daily Mail contrasts this with
the official statement long ago that
there were only 1000. "The colonial
authorities" the correspondent con-
tinues, ''haye just awakened to the
possibility that the last shot in the
war may be fired in Cape Colony, and
unless vigorous efforts are put forth
there is nothing to prevent the Beers
from holding out another twelve
months"
It's a good thing to swallow your
pride, provided you can digest it.
Australia is tired of pounds, shill-
ings and pence, and is considering the
advantage of adopting the decimal
system in counting it's money.
Curiosity is one of the conspicuous
traits of lady in Ellsworth, Ne. She
is also so afraid of fire that at night
she frequently scents the smoke of
imaginary conflagrations. Suddenly
awalling her husband one night, she
solemnly declared that there was
smoke in the air. ut smells like rub
Der burning" she said. sOh, it's your
neck" the husband drowsily replied.
With a snort Of contempt she at once
shut up.
