IRON METERS ARE
MAKING INQUIRIES
Brisk Buying Movement is Not
Far Off
COKE IN ACTIVE DEMAND
Trade Conditions Are Favorable.
While Foundry Metal is Subject
of Much Inquiry, the Largest
Demand Is for Basic.

The Birmingham iron market continues
quiet but inquiries are increasing, and
it is believed a brisk buying movement
will set in next month.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati report
of yesterdays date Says
During the week passed trading in all
districts has been slight. Inquiries have
over balanced sales by large majority.
The greater number of those feeling the
market do not seem to have an inclination
TO purchase at this time, only desiring TO
keep in closest possible touch with its
changes. They are steadfastly refusing to
buy iron now, but expect to have to do
so in the course of a month or six weeks.
Reports of the blowing out of furnaces
continue, and the reduced production for
June will be more marked than at any
time this year. In spite of the fact that
there are some people talking blue days
and trouble" for the balance of the year.
present conditions in all lines, and the
judgment of those best informed, do not
bear them out. Unquestionably some of
the elements having the largest influence
on a satisfactory and busy six months
ing over of recent difficulties in connec-
ton with life insurance, the oyertures
for peace in the far eastern struggle, and
the crop reports will all tend unmistak-
ably toward improved business condi-
tons. The last element is one of great
assurance and as the summer approaches
the prospects of a hountiful harvest are
increasing.
Coke prices are somewhat easier, with
demand good and shipments heavy. The
placing of some furnace contracts for the
last six months has had its influence on
the foundry coke trade.
Matthew Addy & Co.'S report for the
week of June IL to II, 1905, follows
The main feature of the week is the
large number of inquiries in the market.
AS yet no considerable amount of pig iron
has been sold though there Is a steady
run of small orders for prompt ship
ment. These orders are all for immediate
delivery, and show that consumers have
waited as long as possible before buying.
But the inquiries are mainly for ship
ment over the last half of the year, and
lllSg COllt rum TIE utdNS uStIS. MI OilS
meter of iron or twenty has iron bought
for the latter part Of the year, and it is
self-evident that soon there will neces-
sarily be purchasing on a wholesale scale
for the general and special business is
good and will certainly keep UP. The big
buyers are now feeling the market and
getting all the facts obtainable so as.to
intellgently place their orders.
While there are excellent inquiries for
foundry iron the largest demand is for
basic irons. There are inquiries on hand
at present for this class of iron, consid-
erably in excess of 600 tons. This, of
course is natural, as the steel end of the
trade Is so unusually active.
Coke continues in brisk demand with
fine sales, principally for delivery over
the balance of the year.
All the indications point to very much
better business before the end of the
month.

Mr.. Rutfon's Reply.

Joseph Button, secretary of the State
democratic committee, who is also a
member of that body, last night in Rich
mond gave out a reply to a criticism OF
him by Gov. Montague in his Boydton
speech. The governor on that occasion
criticised the propriety of the secretary
of the committee using information be-
longing to the committee for one demo-
crat and against another,
Mr.. Button denies being the secretary
or manager for Senator Martin, but says
he has a right as a citizen to support
him as actively as he chooses. He then
carries the war into the enemy's coun-
try, and says Gov. Montague is going
counter to the constitution in canyassing
for one Office while filling another. He
quotes from the constitution that the
governor shall "be ineligible TO the
same Office for the term next succeeding
that for which he was elected, and TO
any other Office during his term of SER
vice" He also commends TO the gov
ernOr's attention a decision of Judge
Moncure, former president of the State
Supreme Court, in which he says that
the governor was made ineligible to
serve two successive terms to avoid ex-
posing him to the temptation of using
the means afforded him by his Office to
secure reelection. Mr.. Button denies
having any documents or information
from the State committee which would
benefit any candidate.
Senator Martin also made a statement
TO show that his claim of securing 81,
700, 900 for Virginia from the govern
ment was well founded, despite the gov
ernor's assertion that it amounted to
only So. so. His contention is that
Virginia must have paid out that sum.
had it not been established that the
government was indebted to her.

the Car and asked to be relieved to go
abroad. The Car refused to grant this
request, and it was reported that NJ.
White announced that he would resign
about Easter. The final slight which
led to Mr. Whites determination to leave
