THE IRON MARKET CONTINUES STRONG Southern Companies Have Sold
 Half of 1903 BASIS IS S17 FOR NO. 2 Spot Iron Is Bringing $21 for No. i and SPA for No. Foundry-Ex- tracts From Rogers, Brown
 and Company.
BASIS IS S17 FOR NO. 2

The iron market continues strong The southern companies have sold practically all they will make in the first half oe 1903 and free selling of contracts for de- livery in the last half of next year is now in progress.
 The basis for the first half was ST for No. foundry and 1t Is understood that the same schedule has been agreed to by the large concerns for the second half. and s24 for No. ?.
 Extracts from Rogers, Brown & Co., circular of yesterdays date follow:
 At Cincinnati.
 Cincinnati = Transportation conditions are getting worse every day with no indi- cations of improvement until next spring. The car shortage of last winter has been increased by a scarcity of motive power existing on all lines The Pennsylvania railroad is reported to have placed a temporary embargo on coal shipments de- stined to points east of Altoona to re- lieve the congestion on its mountain lines A prominent southern coke carrying line reported BPS car loads of coal and coke in one district twenty miles long with scarcely any motive power in proper condition to handle it. All roads have large orders for engines placed for future delivery extending through 1903, but the excessive service required of those in operation retire them faster than new equipment can be supplied Unless a de- cided improvement occurs by November further decrease in the output of coke is inevitable as the inability of ovens ship or in any way to relieve the present congestion of coke will result in putting many ovens out of blast until shipping conditions again permit regular drawing and moving of the coke Coal shipment will also be affected as the congestion of loaded cars at the various mines prevents the placing of fresh empties The tangle Is the worst ever known. All familiar with the situation must realize that not only more cars and more engines are needed, but double tracks, more sidings and larger terminal facilities.
 The pig iron market closes very firm.
 At PIttsburg.
 Pittsburg. Beyond the limited demand for early delivery foundry iron and the scattering number of orders for prompt foundry coke, the week has been without feature.
 At New York.
 New York-The commencement or an- thracite mining has had marked effect upon the immediate demand for Iron. Consumers apparently feel that eastern furnaces viii now rapidly catch up on de- layed deliveries and that this will relieve pressure upon southern and western rur- naces. It would be reassuring to the in- dustries of the country depending upon mig iron if this were the correct view. The fact remains that the tension in the furnace fuel situation is in nowise re- lieved, and prospects are for very little change for weeks to come.

LONDON TREATED
 ID ROYAL PARADE King Edward and Queen Alex
 andra Given Ovation
A PICTURESQUE PANARAWA
Slight Misunderstanding Caused a Break In Procession Which Mingled E Princesses, Generals, Maids, Po-
 licemen and Others on Streets.

London, October 25.-King Edward and Queen Alexandra started on the royal trip towards the city shortly after noon in somewhat dull weather. The rain. however, kept off, and the temperature was sufficinetly mild to make the day enjoyable. Outside Buckingham palace, which naturally was one of the greatest centers of attraction, great crowd had been waiting for hours, watching the arrivals and tsseps.I ttilI os, and the forming up of the procession.
 The brilliancy of the latter was greatly detracted from the fact that all the troops were cloalxed. The only touch of color was from the lance pennants o the lancers, and the brass helmets of the heavy cavalry. Khaiki-painted guns of the artillery and naval gun of the same hue added to the general note ofs som breness. The roofs of houses near the palace and other points of vantage, giV- ing a view of the picturesque panaroma in Green park, and the historic Mall, were well filled with spectators whose cheering announced to the less privileged public the starting of the state carriage with their majesties. The procession formed up outside the gate and had al- ready moved off, when the first carriages containing royal personages and mem bers of the household emerged therefrom. The veteran Duke of Cambridge who was in a carriage with Princess Vlc- toria, came in for slight cheering. but Lord Roberts and his staff passed almost unnoticed.
 Tedious Interval.
 There was a somewhat tedious interval before the appearance of their maJestles, who drew forth the first real cheers or the day as they passed through the rows of blue jackets from the frst-class cruis- CT Terrible, lining either side of the main entrance to the palace. The King wore a field marshals uniform. with the cloak thrown back, showing his decorations. The Queen had on a straw-colored toque and a fur colarette and cloak. Both the King and Queen looked extremely well, and continuously bowed their acknowl- edgements of the warm welcome extended to them. The Kings escort Of life guards, eouerries, etc., was about the only de- tachment of the procession not wearing cloaks, and these troopers made bril- liant display, in striking contrast to the general lack of color pervading the page ant.
 Partly in consequence of the length of the route, there was nowhere great crush of people, with the exception of open spaces like Trafalgar Square, where the city council presented the King with an address of welcome, and where the Boer generals, Botha, DeWet and De- larey, were prominent among the specta- tors, and at the city boundary, Temple Bar, where the lord mayor, sheriffs and other city officials welcomed his majesty and presented him with the cfty's sword.

KILLED BY CAREOLIC ACID.
NO STRIKE EXPECTED
Probable Granite Labor Dispute at
Barrs Likely to Be Settled on Same
Terms as Those at Quincy.

Barre, April 1O.--The committees repre-
senting the Barre Quarrymen's association
and the Amalgamated Quarrymen's Union
met at Miles hall in this city this after
noon and after a discussion of some length
came to an agreement. The proposition
agreed upon was virtually what was pre-
scented by the association The union and
the association will nave d meeting to-
morrow night at which the committees will
make their reports.
The agreement as reached by the COM
mittee conference if ratified by the two
bodies, will put an end 10 the proposed
strike. The stipulations of tine agreement
were not made public but it is understood
that they are practically the same as the
agreement reached at Quincy last month.
The meeting this afternoon was quite
harmonious and both parties evinced a
desire to settle the differences.
In case the agreement is ratified the tie
up of the granite business which was
threatened will he aVcrtcd 1t is quite posi-
tive that the quarry association will agree
TO the proposition as prominent members
said to-day and it is almost certain that
the union Will do lik wise.
There is general satisfaction here in
Barre that the strike promises to be set
tied. In case the agreement is signed to-
morrow night it will mean one of the most
prosperous seasons for Barre.
