ception" for Baltimore Cathedral.

New York. Dec. 5.-The board of
classification of the United States gem
eral appraisers has just announced a
decision regarding statue representing
the statue of the Immaculate Concep-
tion,' which was imported from Italy
and presented to the cathedral of Balti-
bore. s,.
The statue which was invoiced at $500
lire was consigned to the Rev. C. G..
Thomas. but it was the gift Of the
Misses Andrews to the cathedral. The
statue is of Carrera marble and is about
5 fet inches in height.
The board in an opinion by Colonel
Tichenor holds that the statue Is the
work of professional sculptor and
that it was expressly imported for pre-
sentation to a religious corporation. It
therefore Is exempt from duty. The de-
csion of the collector at Baltimore is
reversed.
A decision was also rendered with
reference to a group on marble by the
Sculptor Marqueset, of Paris, entitled
Maternity invoiced at 10000 francs,
which was purchased by Henry p.

cHAFFEE CLOSES THE PORTS.
Plan to Stop American Money Getting
to Insurgents.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Manila, Dec. 5.-General Chafee has
issued the orders for the closing of the
ports in Lugana and Batangas prov
inces. The quartermasters there will
cease paying rents to the Filipinos for
the buildings used for military pur-
poses, as it is known that large pro-
portion of the money finds its way to
the insurgents in the shape Of contribu-
lions and General Chaffee intends that
no more government funds shall find
their way into the hands Of the enemy.
The reason for the closing of the ports
is that too many supplies are found to
be getting into the possession Of the in
surgents.. 50 S>
General Chaffee intends giving Gen.
eral Bell, commanding the troops in the
Batangas province, every, assistance
he may require to subdue the insurrec-

Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 5.-The Iron

tions this week, says:
THE elements of strength in the iron
trade which have been commented on
from week to week persist. This banner

fair from all conditions today to be sue

standing that this year closes on the
highest point of the IL months.
1.-The advances of the past month have
been in the face of strong and wide
spread conviction that there were pos
sibilities Of harm in the situation But
conservatism has ruled up to this time.
and there are powerful influences at
work to prevent anything bordering on
a runaway market.
Pig Iron Leads in Interest.
Pig iron has been the conspicuous fac
tor for some weeks, and still leads in
interest. In spite of the advance of the
past week, amounting to about ii
ton on most of the foundry grades, there
has been a quieter market. due. in large
part to the fact that most buyers have
contracts covering their wants for the
early months of 1902 and many for first
half, While & rev important concerns tHaL
have sold their own product far ahead

1T is practically impossible now to
get December iron, and what can be
had goes at a considerable premium. In
the Pittsburg market all kinds of iron
has brought higher prices in the past
week, gray forge as high as SIS and Bes-
semer in small lots as high as 1855.
Large Purchase Of Bessemer.
It Is probable that the United States

considerable purchase of Bessemer iron
