Money market conditions last week
foreshadowed no especial disturbance
this fall. The New York banks are grad

the drain imposed by Federal Treasury

heavy. Secretary Shaw is distributing

In the week much transformation was
circulated regarding the position of the

Steel shares was accompanied by va
rious reports that had their origin in
the Offices of stock manipulators. As
to the position OF the trade, the follow
ing remarks by a director OF the United
States Steel Corporation are of interest:
There is no good cause for uneasiness
in regard to the steel situation. To be
sure, there is not a company in this
country which has received as many or
ders during the last four months as II
did during the corresponding period a
year ago. A few orders have been can
celed. but most of the stories which are
now IN circulation are malicious lies.

spectators. A few of our Pittsburg
mills have been shut down for neees-
sary repairs, and for the reason that we
have caught up with the pressing orders
for immediate delivery in certain lines.
In general, however, our mills are oper-
ating TO their fullest capacity. and we
are booking large orders ahead"
The Washington times., 1903-09-21

The reports of the national banks 10
the Comptroller of the Currency will
probably disclose the fact that although
the Eastern banks are somewhat srron-
ger than at the corresponding period
last year, the Western banks are dis
tinctly weaker. This would indicate
that the East will be called upon heavily
for funds for crop movement purposes.

The industrial question is one that
must be worked out, and the opinion
is held that the decline in these shares
Will place the market for other securi-
ties on a more substantial footing. An
other favorable factor is that the de-
mands from interior banks is lighter
than last year. notwithstanding the
lateness Of the crops. From now on the

necessarily be very heavy. and the same
results may follow In exports of the

Missoula, March 31.-Carl Dowdell
has taken a change for the worse,
the change being noticed about mid
night, and from that time until this
forenoon he grew much worse. His
temperature, which had been below
100 for four days, ran as high rs los
yesterday morning, but under treat
ment it was reduced during the day
and at 9 o'clock last night it was 102.
The attending physician and nurse
state that this rise in temperature is
occasioned by the infection OF his
arm, which has been giving more or
less trouble for the past five days.
The deep wound in his arm Is badly
infected, the entire member being
swollen and in1amed and the wound
full of pus. Still, they hope by keep
ing the wound well drained to stop
the spreading in infection.
The physician and nurse assert that
the wound in the abdomen is doing
nicely and that they believe they will
overcome the trouble in the arm.

Of the Edgar Thompson steel plant of

Pa, early today. 81,
AS far as can be learned at this
time, the explosion was due to a sup
posed defect in the electrical equip
ment of the furnace. During the night
the furnace worked unsatisfactory,
and at daylight a number OF men were
sent to the top to repair the trouble,
which was located at the ".bleaker."
At the same time the discovery
was made that the automatic electri-
cal equipment was out of order, n
additional men were detailed to To-
cate the trouble. While II men were
at work either at The top OF bottom.
a "hang'' in the furnace was found,
and before the alarm could be given
there was a terrific explosion Of gas
and the workmen were enveloped in
a rain of molten metal, coke and lime,
which burned the clothing from their
bodies and rendered them uncon-
scious. Notwithstanding the danger
of a second explosion, a party was or
ganized and the men rescued from
their perilous position. Only Is
could be found, however. and it is not
known whether the, two missing were
blown into the furnace or are wander
ing about the district in a semi-de-
mented condition.
The injured we're brought to the
hospital and everything possible done
to relieve their sufferings. A thor.
ough investigation into the cause OF
the explosion is now in progress.
