IRON IS FIRM BUT
BUYERS ARE SCARCE
FEW OF THE IDLE SOUTHERN
FURNACES, Ii is SAID, CAN GO
IN BLAST WITH LESS THAN ST
ADVANCE IN PRICE.

Cleveland O., April THE Iron Trade
Review, discussing market conditions III
It's current issue, says:
The uncertainty concerning the exact
outcome of the present negotiations be-
tween producers of Lake Superior is car
rled over to next week the New York
meeting having been postponed to April
~. The developments of the past month
have not been such as to promise any
change In the attitude of the merchant
ore firms, and in this connection it is it,
timated by large producing and consum-
ing interests that il there is no assoca-
tion this year none need be expected in
following years Meantime, further long
time ore contracts are negotiating, which
will make the market price of Lake Sn-
rerior ore from year to year less of a
factor in the iron industry than ever.
Pig iron Is firm at the moment, but
with little promise of an early resump-
tion of the active buying of March. In
Besemer a purchase of 10000 tons by the
steel corporation at s13.S5 delivered at
Cleveland and Lorraine is the feature This
transaction, in connection with the heavy
output of all corporation steel works, is
thought to point to the taking of the
1900 tons o. iron for May delivery, COW
cred by the corporations option expiring
April 10. Steel-making pig iron as foun-
dry iron Is still being consumed in excess
of current make. Basic has shown some
activity as also phosphorus Bessemer, par
ticularly In the east. Foundry iron mar
kets are quiet and as most buyers are
supplied for much, If not ALL the first half,
and furnaces have orders taking their
product for that period, an interval of
comparative quiet Is ahead. with little ex-
pectation Of an immediate change In
prices.
Figures given In the Cincinnati mar
ket report shows that about so per cent
of the capacity of Southern coke furnaces
the central west. Is per cent of those
answering a recent circular letter have
iron enough bought to carry them to
July J. The remainder expect to buy
little. Few of the idle southern furnaces,
1t Is estimated, can go in blast on less
than 81 a ton advance over the present
price of iron. The situation is regarded
likely. therefore, to remain at a stand for
some weeks, so far as prices are con-
cerned
Three furnaces in the Pittsburg dis
trict started this week with four addi-
tional to start before July /. This means
an increase of one million tons year.
The effect of the possible turning of
some merchant furnaces to foundry iron
is to be considered in this connection.

MANY ABLE PLEAS
FOR GOOD ROADS
Interesting Discussion of the
Whole Subject Matter
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Principle of State and National Aid In
Improvement of Public Roads is
Endorsed-congress Urged
to Support It,

New Orleans, La, April with the
adoption of a series of strong resolutions
advocating state and national aid, the
southern goodroads' convention compile
ted its session today. Many able ad-
dresses were made at both forenoon and
afternoon session, and there was an inter-
esting general discussion of the whole
subject matter.
Former Land Commissioner j. b. kille-
brew of Tennessee, made a strong pre-
sentation of the sanction to be found in
the constitution for federal aid to road
improvement. A. NJ. Hayes, land agent
of the Southern railway pointed out the
deep interest of the great Transports
ton lines in the movement. President
Alderman of Tulane said good roads were
unquestionably an evidence of civiliza-
ton.
Rural Roadways of South.
He compared the neglected rural
roadways of the south with the roads
of Holland, and continental Europe
where country life had become so civil
lied and the relations of the people so
interviewer, as to make connecting roads
an absolute necessity. Mayor Capede-
vielle, Mr.. A. S. Mann of Florida, Judge
]. S. Nc. G. Lawrason of Louisiana and
R. W. Richardson, secretary of the nat
ional goodroads. urged the Importance of
the movement.
President Stuyvesant f ish of the Illinois
Central spoke in response to a resolution
of invitation. He said the railroads were
as deeply interested in road Improvement
as were the farmers. Freight rates had
been brought to a minimum, and If fur
ther economy in the handling of produce
is necessary it must be found in the de-
velopment of the country roads Mr.
Fish said the fault in the past had been
in the want of a systematic campaign in
the interest of road construction. Con-
ventions of the character of the one held
here would go a long way toward the re-
moval Of that fault
Resolutions Adopted.
d. w. Phillips presented the resolu-
lions of the convention. They were adopt
ed unanimously. The resolutions indorse
the principle of state and national aid in
the improvement of the public roads and
highways urge members of congress to
support equitable legislation along the line
of the cooperation of national, state and
local governments urge the immediate
organization OF permanent good roads as
sociations in various parishes and coun-
ties; ask the cooperation of the clergy,
and petition ministers of the gospel to
preach the doctrine of good roads, recon-
mend that the good roads movement be
made part of the public school curricu-
lum; suggest laws for the employment of
short term convicts on the public roads;
appeal to the parishes and counties to
provide for direct taxation for road inn
provement, and ask the general assem-
blies of the states represented In the
convention to establish comprehensive
scheme of public roads construction under
state contract and state supervision.
