IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.

Rogers. Brown & Co. in their weekly report on
the pig iron market says:
OF very necessity pig iron markets are quteter.
The furnaces that are in position to take con-
for deliveries pro: October TOO few TO
any figure. When il to deliveries the
last quarter Of the year. there Is hesitation on the
part of many buyers who think increased output
may bring prices down. There is. however. a CON
siderable tonnage being booked for October. No
vember and December. presumably to cover con
tracts for work taken by fOundrtes and mills. In
view of meters having quite generally contracted
for their needs for the next six months ana the
prospect OF steady increase of output OF pig as
trar sportation and other difficulties get straight
ened out generally believed that prices will
go much If any higher. 1t is greatly 10 be de.
sired that they should not. and the weight or
influence of nearly all sellers Is thrown against
further advances. II Is a singular but gratifying
fact that throughout the entire period OF scarcity
of iron supplies there has been, apparently. com
plete absence of speculation. At time In the his
tory of the trade have prices more genuinely re
hected the law of supply and demand A number
OF important foundres are reported as closed down
for lack of supplies of iron However If strikes IN
the fuel districts be avoided and railroads can
supply cars furnaces soon help out those VINO
are in trouble. The current month OF April should
show decided increase In output as compared with
February and March. when operations were GRIP
pied by floods and car famine.

DUN'S INDEX NUMBER.

Dun's index number of the course of prices with
due allowance for the relative Importance OF each
commodity was 1893 ODD April l. compared with
s101 .593 a month previous and s94.910 year
The fall of 80 per cent during March was the
logical result of the advancing season. which
brought higher temperature and expanding produc-
ton many articles of food Consumptve de-
mand continued heavy, even when supplies were
procured with difficulty. owing to the prosperous
condition of the people. so that quotations were
sustained at an unusual position AS stocks re-
turn to a normal figure 1t Is natural that
prices should do likewise In comparison with the
index number April !. 1901 there now appears
a gain of 10 per cent. This is mainly due to the
advance q per cent In breadstuffs and nearly -
per cent in meats. In alone there has been
an advance of IS cents bushei, and In oats the
change is almost striking, while all provisions
are now a greatly advanced level. In dairy
products there is little change although eggs are
still liz dozen higher than they were a
year ago. despite the recent collapse. Butter.
cheese and apples are also somewhat higher. Mis-
cellaneous food products are fractionaily lower
than they were year ago. coffee having fallen

Clothing shows a small gain. cotton being higher

recent advances in iron and steel products, metals
as a whole exhibit decline. the widest change
being five a pound in copper. with smaller
losses in lead and petroleum In the miscellaneous
division the conspicuous change during the
year the rise OF u in turpentne. while

The Days Work.

Albert Champion, the famous motor cy-
clist and pace follower, who Is training
for the coming season with Tommy Hall,
the little English champion, at the great
Coliseum, at 18th and East Capitol streets,
has already worked himself into racing
form and Is now riding fast enough to war
rant his manager and hacker, James C.
Kennedy, in issuing a challenge to meet
any man In the pace-following division
The splendid condition in which Champion
and Hall have worked themselves during
their short stay in this city speaks well for
washington as the most suitable place for
ball players, athletes and cycle riders to
get themselves in shape for a hard cam
paign- The cycle stars have been very for
tunate in having such fine weather for out
door work. and now they are reeling off
miles in almost as fast time as was made in
many Of the races here last season. The men
are working both inpthe morning and after
noon. and Mr.. Eckhardt, who Is managing
the Kennedy combination, is more than
pleased with having selected Washington
for his men. and figures that his team is
far more advanced than many of the other
riders who are training In New York, Walls
burg. Boston, Providence and other eastern
cities. ii'i
The work of the men yesterday made It
evident that Champion and Hall will surely
have something to say In deciding the mid
