IRON TRADE DRAGS.
Prices Decline and Orders Fall Of at
Same Time.

Cleveland, O., May THE Iron Trade
Review this week says:
Current activity in the iron trade does
not furnish proper gauge of underly-
ing conditions The halt in buying in
one important department, the foundry
industry, more or less colOrs the entire
situation The steel end of the market
continues strong; but there is a general
desire, even in lines not directly affect
ed. to see the outcome in pig iron. Al
ready the wait on the part of pig iron
buyers, prolonged throughout April, has
shown itself in the Lake Superior ore
market where sales have been almost
unpTPcedentedly light for the spring
months, the recent heavy chartering of
vessels being very largely for interests
In mining their own ore The gradual
disappearance of the unparalleled
freight and fuel difficulties of months
has been taken in some quarters as an
indication that reactionary tendencies
were already at work, on the assump-
ton evidently that the pinch of railroad
tie-ups, rather than proper dispatch is
the normal condition. The disappear
ance of high prices for prompt coke,
prompt pig iron and prompt finished
materials of some descriptions, partic-
ularly plates. has contributed to the
waiting attitude of many buyers. Mean
time there is not little difficulty in es-
timating the relation of production and
consumption. Labor questions have in
trOduced an element of uncertainty. Sc
curities have declined for several
months; pig iron has declined and in
finished material, with premium disap-
pearing, the top has been seen. Yet
these conditions are accompanied by
demands for very considerable advances
in wages. with shortening of hours,
making new and important increments
to manufacturing costs. Generally the
concessions are being made: but the
consumer who must pay it is yet to be
heard from. The disposition among pig
iron producers appears to be to let the
market drift. Associated southern fur
naces are not meeting the prices of out
at furnace for No , iron. this price hav-
ing been named on central western bus
mess. Little business results. and the
indications are that the contracts when
placed viii not be for long periods

WASHBURN WON 1T.
Defeated Creighton University
in Fast Ball Game.

Washburn defeated Creighton uni
versity, of Omaha. Nebraska, on the
Washburn baseball field Wednesday by
the score Of . to 1, the same score that
was made in the game at Omaha two
weeks ago between the same schools
1t was a fast, clean game, in which
both pitchers were very effective
Washburn won because of a streak of
good luck On the merits of play, the
teams were almost a standoff. Wash
burn was painfully weak at the bat. as
usual, and secured only one hit, which
was two-bagger, by Moss.
While Creighton outbatted Wash
burn. Gill showed himself to be much
more steady and effective pitcher than
Welch, the Omaha artist. 1t can be
truthfully said that GilIs pitching and
MehIs good catching Won the game.
Several times Gill pulled himself out
of distressing situations by steady
work, aided by the good fielding of his
supporters In the seventh inning. with
the score to 1. the first Creighton man
to bat ripped out three base hit on the
first ball pitched But the man did not
score. Not for a hit nor a sacrifice
could the next three Omaha batsmen
find in Gill's curves.
Five hits were made by Creighton,
but they were not punched Gill struck
out four men, and gave two bases on
balls
WeIeh struck out six men. but offset
batsmen hit by pitched balls They say
thai WEIGH is a professional and he
certainly bats like one, but his pitch
ing is too wild to keep him on the
salary list of any professional team Of
Importance.
Creighton secured its first and only run
in the fourth inning when Mohler get eX-
cited and tried to shut off man ut sec
ond when a runner had just reached third
He threw the ball ten feet above the sec
ond baseman's head and the runner at
third scored
Washburn evened up matters in the fifth
when Presley scored ON a combination OF
errors by Creighton. Gill was caught 1t
the plate in this inning by decision
which some of the crowd were inclined 70
question In the sixth Washburn got an
other run by means of some dumb playing
by Creighton. Anderson being the man
who crossed the plate Pitcher Welch con-
tributed largely to these scores by comDil-
mentary passes to first base which he IS
sued to several batsmen.
The crowd was so small that it all re-
turned to town on two street cars. Wash
burn lost about 800 on the game No doubt
the threatening weather. but it is also Ger
tain that the game was not properly ad-
vertised. Nobody knew anything about
the game except the manager and the
team until day or so before it was
