THE IRON AGE REVIEW.

E New York, Oct. 29.-It is exceedingly puz.
cling with the spectacle of works closing and
starting again to each any conclusion, says
the Iron Age as TO the real volume Of con-
sumption. Buyers keep very close to shore and
manufacturers decline to stock product when its
cost promises to be lower with the opening of
next year. Under such conditions consumption
face but what is really troubling makers most
is the uncertainty of the future. During the
winter months In normal years the consumption
Is lighter than at any other times of the year.
and 1t is too much to hope that this will prove
an exception. With the tonnage on the books
wasting away ii is difficult to hold prices.
The most interesting development Of the week
has been the report that lot of 10000 tons
of pig iron has been sold for shipment to Man
chester, England. II that transaction has been
put thru 1t means that serious cut below our
own domestic level OF values has been accepted,
The steel trade is dull and in the territory east
Of the Alleghenies Is affected by the offerings
i'll a restricted market of open hearth billets by
works usually consuming their own steel prod.
uct but now having a surplus.
The markets for finished iron and steel are
generally speaking dull, and the new tonnage
coming up fails to replace those which are pelnG
shipped on old orders. There Is good deal
Of talk of export business. but thus far compare
lively little tonnage has been secured SoznsthAne
has been doing In steel plates In moderat,
way on the basis OF about $l3O at mill lor ex
port orders.
| The extraordinary events in the copper indus
try may have very serious effect upon the
metal trade. 1t may show Itself In all 40
tual advance of electrolytic copper above the
Eprice of lake since the former Is preferred by any
copper wire makers. .zs.sE-H53#

GIGANTIC SWORDFISH'
Rammed a Fishing Schooner and Bored
Great Hole. $50


Boston Mass.) Cor. New York Herald.
Leaking 200 strokes an hour, and with
the sword Of a gigantic swordfish thru
her hull, the fishing schooner Actor. Cap
tain Frank Norwell, came into port to-
day. The fish rammed the vessel off the
Georges a week ago, and had her crew
not kept constantly at the pumps until
she got to Boston, Captain Norwell says,
she would have gone to the bottom
The fish met the schooner in a head-on
collision and the force of the impact shook
the vessel from stem to stern. AT nrst
the crew thought she had struck sunken
wreckage, but later they discovered the
sword Of the fish under the starboard
bow, about two feet below the water
line. 1t had. penetrated the hull and
half a foot of it was broken off by a
sailor who went into the hold to in
vestigate. = =A..
Captain Norwell and his men tried to
pull the sword out and stop the leak but
they were unsuccessful. At last they
found the water gaining SO rapidly in the
hold that the Actor was headed fcr Bos-
ton. This afternoon she went to Glouces-
ter to have the sword extracted and re-
pairs made.

BLAIR MUCH BETTER
Missourian Who Is Accused Of EN-
bezzlement and Who Attempted
Suicide, Is Improved.
The Grand uJry Has Not Yet In
dicted Him but May
s Do>So.

st. Louis, Oct. 29.-James L. Blair,
the attorney passed a comfortable
night and this morning his physicians
stated that he showed greater strength
than at any time since his accidAnt
Saturday. He is expected to be suffi-
GENTLY improved in health within a
Journey which, it is said, the whole
family will take soon.
The furnishings of the Blair man
sion at KirkWood, near St. Louis, are
being dismantled and packing boxes
and trunks are being sent to this city
for shipment. The sale of the Blair
horses and equipages has continued
until the stables have been completely
eral thousand dollars worth of hand
some furnishings, rare bric-a-brac,
costly rugs and pictures.
The grand jury continues the inves-
tigation of the Blair story from day
to day. Reports that the signature
and seal of the office of the recorder
of deeds had been forged, resulted
yesteday in calling before the grand
jury, Paul Young, Jr., the recorder.
Alfred Hahn, former chief clerk in
the office Of the recorder Of deeds,
has been summoned as a witness to-
day. Mr.. Hahn, according to James
Il
flee when George S. Graham, attorney
for Dick Bros. & Co., Of Philadelphia,
made teh investigation of Mr.. Blair's
affairs
Tried to Kill Himself.
That James L. Blair planned and
attempted to take his life under most
dramatic and unusual circumstances
at two different times within the last
few weeks is now positively asserted.
That in SO doing he broke a pledge
given to his wife, to whom he had
confessed everything, is also estab-
lished.
This information came from a per-
son who has talked with Mr.. Blair
several times since his last collapse,
and the person quoted positively that
Mr.. Blair confessed to him that on
both occasions he tried to end his life
and insure his wife's future by making
available the million dollars life in
surance he has carried for years.
Blair is further said to have confessed
everything to his wife six weeks ago,
when she heard the rumors tat were
on every ones tongue, and asked him
to make a clean breast.
