THE IRON MARKET

tRepoTted by Rogers Brown &c Coz
CHICAGO, Jan. THE pig iron mar
ket for the week has been of the tradi-
tional holiday nature. few transactions
however of considerable volume have
been put through and seem to Indicate
that the general dullness is only tempo
rary.
Sales of basic and low phos. pig are re-
ported On liberal scale and one or two
large lots of foundry iron have been
placed by Eastern Lake furnaces. Quo
tations for some weeks have varied
widely according to the willingness or
reluctance of producers to book business
ahead. The recent low sellers are now
advancing their figures. and prices are be-.
level. ,.'S' 49, $3.50 . 'ne a1s''
The copiols rains of the week will bring
decided relief to coke producers and

quickly improved. With an actual short

satisfactory traffic is anything but good

Conditions during these closing days OF
the year present an interesting contrast
with those of twelve months ago. At that

duction in output which cut furnace ca

Consumption had shrunk even more than

basis that warranted recovery, the temper

GREATEST GOLD
CAMP ON EARTH
At Close of Strike Cripple Creek
Again Makes the Above
Claim

the close OF one of the greatest labor
strikes ever known in Colorado the Grip
pie Creek district has again established
its claim as the ''Greatest Gold Camp on
barth,a largely through the untiring eff
forts on the part of the mine owners and
lawabiding citizens. The camp is now
strictly non union, and the production fig
ures for the year show that the best
miners and workmen severed their con-
nection with the Western Federation and
are continuing their labors unmolested
The truth O. the statement that Cripple
Creek is the greatest gold camp on earth
is the better demonstrated by presenting
few figures, showing the production in
tons during the year just closed as COM
pared with that of 1908, and the value of
the-ore produced in 1903 as compared
with that of 1904, as follows:
Tons of ore produced, 1904. -. CSC, ,O40
Value of gold produced, 1904. .S22 220, $50
Dividends and profits paid,
Total production of camp $500. f72, ,003, $40
In 1903 the tons of ore produced was
546.069, showing an increase in tonnage
of 133,961 tons for 1904 In 1903 the value
of the ore produced was s17,63O, ,107,
showing an increase for 1904 of 81, $50, ,573.
The output by years from the opening
UP OF the camp to date is as follows.

REMBERTS.

Rembert, S. c., May 23:-The
chief topic Of discussion among
the farmers in this section is the
crop situation, and I am sorry
to report there has been DC
change for the better since my
last letter. It has been raining
since last Sunday, and very few
planters here are clear Of grass.
Cotton that has been chopped
out looks well, and a few OF our
neighbors still have a good por-
ton of their cotton to yet chop,
with quantities of grass. Early
planted corn looks badly and has
turned yellow and the second
application of fertilizers recent
ly applied does not seem to
bring about the desired effect.
Labor SENS to be plentiful,
but very unsatisfactory.
Oats are ripening rapidly and
the reapers and binders are get
ting in shape to commence cut
ting next week. Messrs. S. L.
Young and j. NJ. Reames each
have just bought new machines
and are, having them put to-
gether today.

ssFrom all over the country comes
the reports of cotton dying out dis
tressingly. One gentleman remarked
the other day that he believed that
fully % per cent of his entire cotton
crop bad died out and he had about
decided to plow it up and plant again.
It is said that the recent rains which
sbave fallen followed by such hot
weather is the cause of tDe weed dying
out so in places.
"a good many farmers throughout
the country are ploughing up and
planting over aud some are planting
something else instead. 1t is said that
the crop is dying out worse in low
lands than anywhere else.
