IRON MARKET
IMPROVEMENT
Sales During The Past Week Show
Better Increase Than Since
Midsummer Of 1908.
BAR AND WIRE ARE ACTIVE
Marked improvements Along
All Lines OF the Iron Mar
ket I'm All Sections
Cause Surprise.

Cleveland. Jan. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review says;
A decided improvement In demand
has appeared IN the Iron market In
the past week Not since mid-sum-
mer OF 1908 has there been such a
weeks buying In finished material,
the developments, In some lines, being
q surprise TO even those In closest
ouch with the situation. Blast fur
naces In the east, west and central
west have resumed operations or have
made ready for early resumption. The
Carnegie Steel Company will have 10
more stacks going by the end OF the
week than were active January l. and
the resumption elses here win quickly
bring the added pig iron production up
to yearly rate OF fully 2.250,000 tons.
The production OF pig iron by fur
naees In the central west connected
with the movement for curtailing the
output reached low point December 81
When out OF the 1866 furnaces In the
movement 1903 were idle. on that
date the capacity OF the idle furnaces
was e5 per cent OF the total capacity,
as against 81 per cent at the close OF
November.
The most pronounced activity OF
the past week has been in the bar and
wire products. In the closing week
OF the old year and the first 10 days.
OF this year II is estimated that the
sales OF wire products amounted to
fully 100000 tons, most of this ton
mage being ut concessions OF SO to S.
from the prices previously quoted.
Demand of such proportion at this
season reflects the good buying ability
or the agricultural committee and
gives promise OF n large spring busi-
ness, on It's heels has come an ad.
vance of 81 a ton from the low point
and the leading producer and lnde-
pendent PIttsburg .and Ashland, Ky,
district interests are maintaining uni
form quotations, this being the first
agreement of the sort In many months
Another evidence Of sound agrioul-
tural conditions Is the good demand
for bars In the week. Chicago report
ing 10000 tons closed. Manufacture
ers of steel bars met In Plttsburg Tues
day and reafflrmed prices, though an
advance of 81 a ton had some sup
porters. Bar Iron made low record
In the past 10 days in the central west
but It is now about 81 ton above
The low point. The sheet trade shows
sharper competition, with prices about
81 n ton lower In the week.

STORY OF SMITHSON.
His Dust Soon to Be Buried in City
Of Washington.
EneIIshmen who Gave Ills All to a
Country He Had Never seen and
Founded "a Great Instffu-
tion of Research.

The dust Of James SmIthson, the Eng
Iishman who gave MS en.ae fortune u
found the Smithsonian institution al
/ Washington, WILL soon be brought 10 4
final resllIg place in this country. Dr..
| Alexander IT, Bell, one OF the regents Of
that institution, has onered to bear the
expense OF bringing il across the At
lantic, and is now III zen. !. aor that pur--
pose. II Is planned To place the remains
IN the grounds OF the institution in
Washington, where there is ample room,
and where monuments have been placed
TO Prof. James Henry, who first directed
the work; to DR.. Samuel Gross, the
famous physician, and TO L. j. NJ
Daguerre, the inventor of the earliest
type Of the photograph.
James Smithson, the man who gave his
all to country he had never even seen,
died in Genoa in 1929 He was buried on
the heights of San Benigno, in little
British burying ground. For years a
stone quarry operated by the govern
ment has been slowly eating away the
hill.
Smitbson was a natural son of the
third duke of Northumberland a grad
uate of Oxford, and scientific writer of
distinction. He once said: THE best
blood of England flows in my veins; on
my fathers side | am Northumber-
land, on my mothers | am related to
kings, but this avails me not My name
shall live in the memory of man when
the titles of the Northumberland and
the Percys are extinct and forgotten"
The circumstances OF his birth caused
him to lead wandering life, somewhat
emblttered by the fact that he could not
take the position in the British aristoc-
racy which his ancestry deserved. He
inherited his mothers fortune, and did
much work of value along scientific lines,
but, up to the time of his death, he
seemed to have done nothing to make
good his prophecy Then he drew up

sionally there is a feast, or fiesta, once
or twice week, you may see it makes
considerable difference to the busy
mine-owner or manufacturer who may
be employing scores of those exceed
ingly religious poems.
On the day of the Feast of the
Passover quite curious ceremony
takes place. During the day everyone
in the village. man, woman or child,
repairs to the church. On this occa-
sion the affairs and galleries are
draped in purple, significant of mourn
ing, and the priest. after brief services.
advances to the altar rail to bless the
faithful worshiper.
AS the suppliant kneels before him
the priest, by means of little pow
dered charcoal and rubber stamp,
places a black Greek cross upon the
upturned forehead.
1t is a most curious sight to note
the old men and maidens, business
men, stately senoras, tattered beggar
or babe in arms, each bearing the
symbol of the faith.
For years 1t was a universal custom,
and is even yet maintained in some
parts of the republic. to crawl upon
the hands and knees for miles over
thorns and rocks as a penance or as a
supplication for divine favor
At the entrance of the mines you
will invariably find little shrine be-
fore which each miner will bow his
head and cross his breast before enter
ing to work, and at night the ends of
the dripping candles will all be placed
in front of the little altar to propiti-
ate the blessed saints and assure good
will during the coming darkness.
Once a year, on the day of Corpus
Christi, early in June. there is a grand
procession and the virgin is besougnt
to bring rain and sun to the summer
harvest.
A statue of the virgin is carried
about the town and then placed in
some wayside shrine Here she stands
for ten days, and If it rains during
that time it is taken as token of the
