gaFding Nephew.
 New York. Dec. 13.--A dispatch to The Tribune from Pittsburg says:
 ]. B. Corey. uncle of William Ellis Corey, president of the United States Steel Corporation, issued a remarkable letter this afternoon, addressed to the newspaper reporters of Pittsburg."
 In it, MT. Corey tells of how his quiet life has been made miserable by the demands upon him for information about his nephew's affairs. and says he has decided to make good use of the additional information he possesses.
 Mir. Corey tells in his letter of hav- ing recently given $20,e00 to the fund for the relief of the suffering Jews in Russia and says that more money is needed. He says that, inasmueh as the public likes to read about scandal. they declares that he has number of let ters which were exchanged between himself and Andrew Carnegie, Charles M. Scha~b and F. R. Corey which he Is ready to hand over to the public for | $l00.O0O, the total amount to be ap7 piled to the Hebrew relief fund.

Ensicx Industries.

Considerable activity is noticed at the big industries in Ensley at present months business by the end of Decem- Der, and when the totals for the year are closed up there witl be wonderful showing. To those who are not in di- rect touch the marvellous things that are done in Ensley are unknown. The manufacture of pig iron, steel rails, wire and nails, castings, coal tar pro- ducts and such like is seen in Ensley as in no other place south of the Penn sylvania mills. The wonderful prog ress Is not at it's height In Ensley, but will continue to increase.
 Conservative people who are able to make an accurate estimate figure that there are enough mills and furnaces in Ensley today to make a city of 10000 people, who depend directly or indirect iy upon the plants, and with the pros ,nSects in sight even this number may De largely increased in two or three more years.

 Prices.


 Prices.
 Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 13.-The Iron Trade Review in it's current issue says: The iron ore situation continues to be of absorbing interest. While there are various estimates for the probable production of ore for next years de- livery. men of long experience in the trade do not hesitate to predict that if present prospects continue production next year will amout to 3s.000 600 tons It is estimated that dock facilities at lower lake ports an dthe lake steamer force will be capable of handling 40,- 100000 tons next year, but it is doubt full whether the railroads will have cars and trackage sufficient to care for such a trepepdpus tonnage. Certain Independent Interests, espec- ia1iy those which have purchased crude steel onkeontraets at lower prices than those now prevailing, are urging high CT prices of finished products but the United States steel corporation is un- derstood to be strongly opposed to advances and there is at present no probability of general change in steel bars. structural steel. pipe and plates although premiums will oeca- slonally be paid for prompt shipment. / The market for structural material in the east has shown increased activ- ity
