Consumers of iron and steel products are still anxious regarding conditions during the next three months. After July 1t Is believed that deliveries will be am- pie According to the Iron Age, the weekly capacity of pig Iron furnaces in blast on March 1 had declined to sl070 tons or about 10000 tons from the pro- ductlon on February l. All records prior to February 1 are still eclipsed and the resumption of many idle plants this month practically assure new high water marks in the near future. The furnace stocks of pig iron declined only about 25,000 tons during February. The most important event of the week was the heavy buying of steel bars by makers of agricultural implements in anticipation of higher prices becoming effective on April i. Billets command large premiums For spot delivery and more purchases are reported from foreign makers. Pipe and tube gre more active. Large contracts have been placed for structural shapes. Better transportation for coke is rapidly supplying furnaces with all the needed fuel.
 All the labor disturbances have tended to strengthen the tone of textile pro- ducts. Sellers recently declined much business, notwithstanding the uncertain price of the raw material, and in good rcsition to stand Interruption. All'
  fected and a general advance in quota tions will follow any interruption to man. ufacture and transportation owing to the healthy consumptive demand. Important business is still checked by the firm views of holders. Complaints are also heard as to the delivery of woolen goods but trade is only fair. The statement that 23 per cent of the enormous wheat yield re- mained in farmers hands on March was not calculated to sustain values. Needed rain in the Southwest made the market look more favorable for the next crop. A sustaining feature was the interior move ment of only 2,6S1S91 bushels against B. 902 $50 last year. while on the other hand total exports from the United States were but 259S. .472 bushels compared with 4.962,- 674 a year ago. Corn receipts aggregated Il Sg3 eeG bushels against 4,130,337 year ago, while Atlantic exports fell to the lowest record for many years, 96,109 bush els against 3,339, ,902 in 1901.
 sCotton was pulled both ways: light re- ceipts, reports of almost exhausted stocks at tue interior, ready purchasers by Southern sph1ners, and fairly well main fined divisions in this staple keep all alert.
 Failures for the week were 232 In the limited States against 209 last year, and 34 in Canada against B in 1901.

Are You a Mason?

Next Thursday the Jefferson Theatre will present that very funny farce, Are You a Mason?' When it was produced at the Irving Place Theatre. New York, the audience laughed so heartily MT. Leo Ditrichsteln concluded that a free trans lation would be just as amusing. The English version proved fully as laugh able, if not more so, and for weeks last spring 1t filled Wallack's Theatre. The New York stay was cut short by a pre- vious contract made by the management of the house. However. after success ful run at Powers Theatre Chicago, it was returned to New York to open the Garrick, and again the standing room only" sign was nightly displayed. Since then the farce has also scored a pro- nounced hit at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London. The company which achieved metropolitan success for Are You a Ma son?" will be seen here entire. In addi- tion to the author, MT. Ditrichstte.l, the cast includes John c. Rice. Thomas A. Wise, George Richards, Charles Hal,<n, Charles Edwards, and Misses Matte Fer guson, Esther Tittell, Grace Hadsel, Ha- gel Chapple. Amy Muller. Sally Cohen and Maude Travers.
