Boston, Sept. 15.-The American
board Of foreign missions has received
reports from the various sections of
eastern Turkey in which serious dis.

agree fully with that recently made by
United States Consul Norton, who is
now in that region by direction from
the state department at WASHINGTON
to investigate the conditions that pre-.
vail there. Secretary Barton, of the
board, states that not less than 15.O00
persons are in a most desperate con.

them. The missionaries of the Amer.

The American board had property

press no anxiety as to their personal
safety and they do not anticipate a

New York, Sept. 15.-The all absorb

From all accounts current, the

rent, the tonnage in the steel trade is
good. A clear indication of this is
furnished by the fact that the indepen-
dent mills are taking their purchases
of raw material right along. The last
furnace returns reflect the fact that
foundry industries, too, are consuming
at an increased rate while that of the
Bessemer furnaces association furnish
es a reduction of capacity during Au-
gust of 13 per cent. The only point
now raised is whether the larger vol
ume of work really reflects the busi-
ness taken before the recent distur-
Dances in the steel trade took place
That a reduction in prices will be
made is conceded on all sides, but the
exact figure has not been settled 1t
seems to be the concensus of opinion
that larger differential between bill
lets and sheet bars will be adopted.
The beam mills have reached an
understanding concerning the mini
mum price Of S13 net ton for fabri-
cation and an additional $12 ton for
the erection. From number of quar-.
ters in the steel and machinery trades
