SAYS WORST IS OVER.
Reports in Iron Age Declare That
Trade is Improving.


NEW YORK. June 23-FrOm influential
quarters. says the Iron Age. come reports
widely quoted that there has been an i'm
provement In the amount of orders. and
that the worst is over. 1t is difficult to
trace any actual data upon which to base
such a conclusion. although many in the
trade are in receptive mood for anything
which will encourage a change Of senti-
ment in others. But it would be idle to
claim that business has increased in the
iron trade or that the immediate outlook Is
perceptibly better. On the contrary some
branches which have been active with the
spring business have been falling on. and
the important mills, notably in the wire in
dustry, are cutting to keep running fully.
The tin-plate mills are very busy. the
leading interest having 90 to 80 per cent OF
the capacity at work. The sheet interest Is
less favorably placed and concessions are
being freely made. During the spring 62
per cent of the capacity Of the consolidated
works was operating. Now 1t has dropped
back to 53 to 81 per cent. Pig iron mar
kets little weaker. A moderate ton
mage has been placed, interest centering
more particularly on the bidding on one lot
of $500 tons in the central west. Some
good sized inquiries are in the market, but
are heading up rather slowly. Little reller
can be expected from export sales OF pig
iron.
Reports from the cast-ron pipe trade
have been rather unfavorable lately. Some
good structural tonnage Is coming out in
the Pittsburg district. a part having been
already taken. but the amount Of bridge
work Offering is very small. On building
work low prices are being made on fabrica-
ton.
The billet structural and plate pools are
to meet in this city early next month, but
no radical action Is expected. The feeling Is
that the time has long passed when low
ering in prices by agreement would have
any stimulating effect on consumption.

During his recent visit to Annapolis Ad-
miral w s. Schley announced to his friends
that In the fall he would apply to tho regis
tration officers of the city of Annapolis to

slightest difficulty in the way of such a
course. Admiral Schley was formerly a

NORFOLK. Va. June 23.-The tests to

weather was ideal yesterday afternoon for

TO SETTLE JAPs PROMPTLY.
Kuropatkin's Speech to Troops Inten-
SITES Public Interest.

ST. PETERSBURG. June %. 40 pm
The expectation of great battle has been
Intensified by Gen. Kuropatkin's speech to
Gen. Stakelberg's corps on Monday at
Kai-Chou. when the commander-in-chief
said he would see the troops again soon
that they must settle the Japanese prompt
ly and that they Were not going home
until this had been done. The general Is
understood to have meant that he would
return from Lao Yang with a large force
and give battle.
1t Is pointed out that he can afford to
leave a comparatively small garrison at
Lao Yang in view Of the absence of any
direct advance from Feng- Wang -Cheng and
the concentration of the Japanese forces
south In the opinion of many conserva-
tive military men kuropatkins massing of
troops at Kai-Chou does not necessarily
indicate his intention to give battle. but
merely to check the Japanese advance and
defer the occupation OF Niuchwang, the
possession OF which would be of great ad-
vantage to the Japanese during the rainy
season. affording the enemy housing ac-
commodations and enabling them to land
supplies and harass the Russians.
The occupation OF Siung Yo-Shan by a
Japanese detachment indicates the con-
nection between the enemys armies Is
practically assured as Siung-Yo-Shan is
half way between General Oku's and Gen.
eral Kuroki's positions. at Senuchen and

General KuroSi down has at different times
