to man. 1t made girl artificial to

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD,

There is growing disposition

against them for real or imaginary
injuries. They lose sight of the i'm

THE IRON TRADE.
Activity of Market Continues
FREIGHT Rates,

CLEVELAND, Ohio October 20.-The
Iron Trade Review this week says:
The increased activity in the iron mar
ket that set in with October has kept up,
and in pig iron the past week has been
the highest price of the year. Consump-
ton has been overlapping production for
several weeks, and while meters of pig
iron bought in the market, particularly
foundrles, find no market increase of or
ders they are steadily melting more iron
than in the summer months.
The statistics indicate that pig iron out
put on October 1 was at a rate of about
16.5O0,0OO tons a year, while in March,
April and May the spring "freshet" car
ried it up to a rate of 1S,00O,OO0 tons. Pig
iron production is now on it's second up
turn for the year. and the extent of this
movement depends on several factors.
One is the strength of the coal stock in
the strike. Another factor is the amount
of idle capacity that will come in as
prices rise.
The advance has not been enough yet
for the blowing in of furnaces that have
been waiting for a real profit. But the
important fact is that merchant stocks
of pig iron were reduced $4,000 tons last
month, with coke and anthracite produc-
ton $4,000 tons more than in August.
1t would seem that too much has been
made of the marking up of southern iron
some producers. With little or no iron
selling at the prices. they scarcely
more significant than was the $12 price
named in early 1902 by oversold pro-
ducers who had no iron to sell at any
price. Northern foundry irons have ad-
vanced, however. in the past week on
actual sales, and the minimum for No. 2
foundry is now S12 at central western
furnaces. while sales have been made at
S12.25-an advance of % to 50 cents In a
fortnight. Bessemer iron has sold at
$12.25 at furnace and $3.50 is now asked.
The steel rail situation is waiting one.
Manufacturers cite the we'll maintained
freight rates of the carriers as an inn
portant element in the problem Of rail
prices for next year. While $24 is COM
monty discussed price, conditions in the
next few weeks may fix 500. or even $2S,
as the basis. While rail requirements for
next year are expected to be considerably
beyond the buying for 1904. standard Sec
lions are inactive today, but light rail
business Is good.
