REVIEW OF THE IRON TRADE.
Outlook All Over The Country Shows
Decided Improvement.

Cleveland, Dec. 81 The Iron Trade
Review in it's issue this week says:
With growing activity in some di-
rections, even at the expense of prices,
che closing week of the year finds IN
creasing expectations in the iron and
steel market. The lower prices of the
week are in finished material chiefly.
In pig iron the tendency for the time
being is toward firmness in southern
iron, while northern furnaces have
shaded prices in some instances to
take business in closely competitive
territory
Several conferences have been held
at Birmingham this week looking to
the reorganization of the southern pig
iron association or the adoption of
some plan to establish prices on a
firmer basis and keep them there
There are some better indications in
finished material, though no realizing
movement is looked for until after the
opening Of the year. "A number Of rail-
roads are buying equipment and orders
sggregating $500 cars have been placed
by the New York Central, the Chicago
Il Northwestern and the Illinois Central
In steel cars pending business aggre-
oates 1000 cars and an order from the
Wabash railroad IS FOR 1000 cars. Chi
caso notes more activity in plates, 5000

yards and bridgeworks have work on

vided after January 1.

for their lives. Then the crush be-
came terrible, and the members of our
party, Mrs. Rollin A. Keyes, Mrs.
Pearson, Misses Charlotte Plamondon,
Catherine Keyes, Amelia Ormsby, Grace
Hill, Josephine Eddy and Miss Eliza
beth Eddy realized it would be impos-
sible to get to the street through that
door.

when somebody knocked down two
doors which had been locked and the
majority of the people on the first
floor escaped through them without
serious injury. Miss Catherine Plamon-
don, who was bruised about the face
and hands, and I were the only ones
in the party who escaped with our
wraps. The others had their clothes
torn almost from them, as they were
hurrying from the burning theater.
Before we had left the boxes the
fire had spread to the first row of seats
and the stage hands were endeavoring
to lower the asbestos curtain. When
1t was about half down 1t became
caught and the attempt to drop 1t was
abandoned. A great gush of fire then
spread to the draperies over the boxes
The people were wonderfully calm, it
seems to me, for so crucial a mo-
ment, and it wasn't until the smoke
filled the house that the people became
frantic and screamed for help. We
could hardly breathe and believe had
we been in the theater few minutes
longer, we, too, would have been suffo-
Gated, as the heat and smoke were be-
coming unendurable. Had the exits
been open and unlocked the loss of
life would not have been nearly so
