FALL OFF 80 PER CENT OR
ABOUT 5000 TONS.

Cleveland, o.. July 17.-The Iron Trade
Review, in its current issue, has this to
say of market conditions:
There has been heavy buying of pig
iron In the Chicago district for the past
week. a total of 100000 tons being re-
ported, including two transactions for
1903 delivery, one for maleable and the
other for foundry iron. which, together.
amounted to over $4,000 TONS

men are increased. however. OF the
thirty Alabama furnaces on the active
list. thirteen were banked because of the
strike and some of these will not re-
sumo until toward the end of the month
Many of the miners have not yet return
ed to work and it will be next week be-
fore the mines are running as before.
The pig iron production of July in
Alabama, Ii is estimated, will fall off
about 80 per cent or about 5000 tons from
that of June.
Sales of Southern iron for 1903 continue
to be made, but some producers in that
section are not ready to do business for
next year.

furnace prices ranging from $3.50 to 81
for No 2 foundry.
At PiEsburg, sales of 10000 tons of
foundry iron have been made in the week
for next year. The troubles of the north
crn furnaces, banked because of coal
strikes. continue. and in the central west
some stacks that have been operated
steadily of late are now in doubt from
day to day as to how long they can keep
going.
With all the hindrances, the production
of iron keeps up at a surprising rate, the
active furnaces July l having reported a
capacity of 352590 TONS which is the high
record. The uncertainty of supplies of raw
material makes the immediate future a
problem both of furnaces and foundries.
The latter are having increasing difficulty

certain that not a little IRON bought for
this year will not be delivered until after

of Philadelphia delivered the funeral SER
mon. After the mass. Cardinal Gibbons
pronounced absolutions. The body of the
dead churchman was then borne to q

will be removed later to its last resting
place in the new cemetery of Mount Car
