TO KEEP IRON PRICES
 DOWN REST OF THE YEAR

would stand $15' said well known iron maker of this county. Buyers would buy just as much at $15 as they buy now. The big companies may call their SIP basis agreement wise, but I cannot see it in that light"
 Rogers, Brown & Go. say in their cir cular of Saturdays date:
 "The great mystery in the Southern situation seems to deepen. Articles have been published stating that hundreds of thousands of tons are yet unsold for the last half and buyers are still being told that SIP is the price of No. ? foundry at Birmingham. In spite of these statements some of the shrewdest consumers are cov- ering their July to December requirements at $14 and think they are acting wisely. They cannot understand why, if the pro- oucers who are quoting at $12 have such a large unsold reserve, they cannot ob- tain some part of it. The inference Is apparently obvious to them that either the reported reserve Is mythical or the producers intend to hold 1t unsold until later in the year when prices can be put up without the disastrous results that might follow now in the way of advanc- ing mining and freight rates, which would cut into the profits on the large tonnage of low-priced orders on their books at present.
 ''If the market is to be held down lib- eral offerings of iron are necessary, for numerous large concerns are considering the advisability of covering their sea- sons requirements
 Notwithstanding the improvement in transportation most blast furnaces have no accumulation of coke and are uneasy in consequence of the threatened trouble with coal miners April 1, when, 1t Is un- derstood, a new scale is to be presented for the operators in the Virginia and West Virginia districts to sign"

BROOKLYN LEAGUE SAYS HE DISRE-
CARDS EXCISE VIOLATIONS
AND FOOTPADS.

The Brooklyn League, which has been inactive
for about six months. came out yesterday with a
set OF resolutions and a long statement whlch
sent 10 Deputy Police Commissioner Ebstein
and the newspapers, calling attention fragrant
violations Of the excise law and to the fact that
dsreputable women and footpads infest the prn-
cipal streets of the borough at night, The state
ment names certain vile resorts" as within three
blocks Of Police Headquarters. one within Few
doors Of the Adams-st. police station. Of which
Eddie Milan IS said 10 be the proprietor. ana an
other Flatbush and Third aves, where a man Is
said 10 have been robbed OF all his clothing ana
sent home in old suit borrowed from the pro-
prietor. The statement declares that Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner Ebsten IS censurable, because
Of his disregard of the deplorable situation
OF affairs in Brooklyn"
Commissioner Ebsten. when seen by Tribune
reporter after the receipt OF the Brooklyn League
literature, said:
Il am amazed that such a condition exists IN
Brooklyn. I had a notion that Brooklyn, when
compared with other cities Of It's size, was pretty
good place to live in. I cannot believe that an
these things have sprung up since January l. IN
the preamble and resolution sent TO me had not
noticed that any resorts supposed to be inhabited
by disreputable characters were specified. see'
however that the statement sent to the newspapers
does name certain places. This refers to a place
supposed to be kept by Eddie Milan IN MyrtIe-aVe'
I shall have that investigated at once"
Commissioner EbsteIn called Captain Beden. or
the Adams-st. station. who at headquarters.
and instructed him TO make an investigation OF
the resort. and TO have II constantly watched
IF the Brooklyn League will furnish me with a
list OF these resorts" Mr.. Ebsten continued II
will have investigation instituted IN each case

League IN anything that may tend to benefit Brook

Brooklyn at night. and I must say that never
have met any Of these Objectionable characters.

FIERCE FIRE IN WARREN-ST
ELEVATED ENGINEER SPEEDS TRAIN
TO GIVE ALARM-BRAVE WORK BY
FIREIEN-DAMAGE $4,000.

One Of the most stubborn fires that has oc-
CURED in the downtown district in some time
broke out last night in the five story stone
building at No. 30 Warren-st. II spread TO the
building in the rear IN Murray-st and Tor a
time threatened adjoining buildings Ihree
alarms were turned in. and after two hours OF
hard work the fremen had the blaze under con-
troll Fifty thousand dollars was the estimate
Of the damage.
The fire was discovered by the engineer Of a
Sixth-ave elevated train bound for the South
Ferry The engineer noticed a thin column Of
smoke issuing from the windows on the fourth
floor Of the building at No. 30 Warren-st. Put
ting on full steam. the engineer swept around
the curve from West Broadway into Murray-st..
where, IN the middle Of the block, the quar-
tiers Of Fire Patrol No. /. Stopping the train
in front Of the quarters, the engineer blew his
whistle in sharp. successive blasts. The fire
men rushed into the street to see what had
happened. There's a fire around the corner."
the engineer shouted from his cab.
BY the time the fiTemen arrived in Warren
st flames completely enveloped the two upper
floors OF the building and We're bursting from
the windows. The four upper floors were occu-
pied by the New-York Bag Company. The
large quantities OF paper and leather goods
burned fercely.
Four hremen from Engine Company No. Z
mounted the fire escape on the front Of the
building with q line of hose. They were direct
ing a stream into the roaring furnace the
third floor when the flames shot out Of the win
dow, enveloping them. One by one they climbed
down TO the second floor. Then while immense
crowds cheered them they mounted the fire
escape again 70 the third floor. Flames swept
around them and six times they were driven
back. It seemed as If they were counting death.
Finally water tower No. placed in front
Of the building and the powerful stream of
water 1t poured into the third story gave the
firernen a position from which 70 fight the
flames.
The flames ate through TO the top floor. and
burst through the roof.
The building in the rear, No. 90 Murray-st, is
occupied by A. L. Tuska, importer and dealer
in japanese art goods. The two upper floors of
that building were burning bTisky when fire.
men broke through to get to the roof TO fight the
flames that We're rapidly destroying the Warren
ST building. Several companies were immedi-
ately sent through the MuTay-st. building with
lines of hose. and before the fire had gained
much Of a start they had It under control.
The fire in the Warren-st. building burned
down 10 the ground floor occupied by Surpless.

The Sixth-ave. electric cars and the L trains
were blocked for more than hour.
Chief Croker directed the work Of the men.
