Producers and Consumers in Iron Mar
ket Have Nothing to Complain Of.
Cleveland. March 24.--The Iron
Trade Review in this weeks issue
says:
Response Of both producers and
consumers to the Improvement In the
iron market that became plainly mo-
ticeable two weeks ago has been gem
eral In pig iron. while the important
contracts made. in March were at
prices ranging from 50 to $3.50 for
Southern No. Q foundry, there has
been a fair business In the past week
at 80. rs and $40 and the latter is now
generally maintained. There is some
Improvement in the business OF smelt-
ers of iron. slight as yet but like
ly to go farther as the spring ad-
vances. Northern furnaces have gem
orally followed the southern advance
and $3.50 at furnace for No. is
rare now, sl3 being maintained by
most producers in the middle west.
while in the Chicago market s14 is
quite generally asked for No O..
Bessamer iron has advanced since the
large buying Of the past few weeks.
For April and May sls.S5 at Valley
furnace ss now commonly asked and
for April delivery $3.50. The sit
uaticn in steel is decidedly firmer and
not only are schedule prices for billets
being maintained but mills are strict
ly adhering to extras. An Indiana
inquiry for thirty thousand tons Of
sheet bars has been up in the past
week Plates are in better demand
and structural steel is more active.
A four thousand ton order for Chicago
also not IS 1000 ton contract for car
shapes. The cotton tie business has
been large in the past week and after
about $4,000 tons had been placed an
advance was made in the price from
Is cents to so cents bundle. The
hoop and band manufacturers have
again established prices after period
OF cutting, The revision in wages in
the sheet and tin plate trades, on
which vote is now being taken in the
union lodges, provides for a reduction
to about 70 1-2 cents box but the
base has been reduced from S4.25 per
100 pound box of coke plates to $S.5o,
a concession to the Amalgamated AS
sociation, which at present price of
tin plate, ss,45, would increase wages
two per cent. Proposed reduction in
the sheet scale range from 10 to 20 per
cent,

furnished him. and he has hope oi
bringing the criminals to justice.
Long wing was the victim. He wa
on his way 70 the corner sof Seven
teenth and Burnside streets about 10
O'Clock Monday evening. Just before
he reached his destination he was
stopped BY o white woman. She said
she wished 10 20 down Davis street
and asked The Celestial to accompany
her a. guide, as she was afraid 10
be out alone ut that hour Of the night
Wing replied:
"Me ch.naman. Can't go with
white woman. Police would think
something wrong"
Regardless Of hts protest. the wo-
man insisted that he 80, and she
promised him small amount Of
money for HIS trouble. He accom-
panied her.
She led him along some Of the darker
streets. AT last they had reached the
Arsnory, and as they were passing one
OF the dark corners two men. both
carrying reyolvers, gprang upon the
Chinese and robbed him OF all he had,
taking $40 and gold watch. While
the two men were going through the
clothes of the native OF the orient the
woman stood at ease and watched the
proceedings, with the nerve Of pro
fesslonal thug. After the highway
men had secured the chinamans
money and watch they. with the wo-
man. disappeared around the next cor
ner In the dark.
The chlnaman was 80 badly fright
ened that he could not give an accur-
| ate description Of his assailants, bn
the information furnished Detective
Hartman viii in all probability lead
10 their arrest.
The police expect to receive Other
reports Of similar holdups. This Il
one of the best methods criminals
could adopt, say the officers, as mar
can be easily trapped and lured int
danger by woman without suspect
