HIGH PRICES FOR ] PROMPT SHIPMENT
Reports from Iron Centers Show Advancing Tendency
SOUTHERN PIG IS NOW $14
Car Shortage Is Becoming More Seri- ous and Is Causing Much Delay 
 In Delivery of Ma
 teriaI.

Cleveland. O., November S.-(SpeciaL)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Additional evidence of the substan- cial character of the prevailing prosperity in the Iron and steel business is furnish CT every day. Although melters of pig iron have been buying freely. 1t is certain that many will find that their contracts will not meet their requirements. Buyers desiring delivery this year or the first three months of next year find 1t very difficult to place orders; and in some cases very high prices are asked for prompt shipment.
 Reports from all iron centers show an advancing tendency while many furnaces are slow to quote except In small lots to regular customers. It is confidently believed that the price of pig will go to nearly S20 before the end of the year.
 Although favored customers may obtain occasionally slight concessions. $1700 at Valley furnaces Is now the ordinary quo- tations for basic Bessemer and No. ?. foundry basis has been sold at $l7.25 at the furnace for the first quarter of next year. although other sales are reported at somewhat higher figures. Southern pig iron Is firmly established at S140O Bir- mingham, Southern and Central Ohio furnaces have advanced to the Valley price of s17.O0 for No. foundry.
 In the east buying of pig iron has been rather light, the principal transaction be- ing for 11,000 tons of basic for New Jersey company. There is an extremely strong demand for both iron and steel bars. Agricultural implement markers are specifying promptness. Deliveries on structural material are not now promised in less than six to eight months.
 The new structural mills at Clarion, Pa. and South Chicago will be in opera tion in about two months, and each will have a capacity of about 10000 tons a month The car shortage is becoming more serious and Is causing much delay in the delivery of finished products as well as in handling the crude material

Charles F. Murphys home district, ana in the sixth. of which Timothy D. Sulli- van is the leader. .
 Mr Hearst's proposed action met with warm approval in many quarters, even among those who opposed his election. and ne received many assurances or support. District Attorney Jerome ex- pressed himself in terms of strong ap- proval of Mr. Hearst's programme and declared that he would immediately in- stitute searching investigation of the alleged democratic frauds. He also or dered the returns from the eighteenth and sixth districts to be carefully guarded.
 Wins Commends Hearst.
 Ira c. Darrin, the newly elected dis trict attorney of Queens county on the republican ticket, made similar state- ment. William M. Twins, the defeated republicans candidate for mayor, also commended MT Hearsts action and ex- pressed the belief that a recount would show that Mir Hearst had been elected.
 After a secret session of the executive committee of Tammany Hall held this afternoon, the following statement was issued:
 .The executive committee of the demo- cratic organizations protests against the outrageously published threat Of the de- feated candidate of the people. as ex- pressed by the vote cast on election day and directs its law committee to exert its best efforts and take such steps and in- stitute such proceedings as will safeguard the election of George B. Mcclellan as mayor of New York.
 We also call on the commissioner of police and the custodian Of the ballot to preserve the same intact from all in reference by anyone from any unauthor- ized source.''
 Some of the leaders after the meeting expressed the opinion that the returns showed censure of MT. Murphy's leader ship, and that he should as a result ster down and out, and make room for man against whom nothing could be charged They thought that it was time for George B. Mcclellan to assume the leadership himself.

Want Prisoners Released.

St. Petersburg, November S.-The League of Leagues has adopted another strong set of resolutions in favor of com plete amnesty for "The martyrs who remain entombed in prisons or are living in exile, at Archangel, or in the depths of Siberia While these heroes are not given their liberty freedom Is farce and the gallows still awaits new sacri- fices"

boxes and should not even touch them, a new aspect is placed on the case.
 First Similar Order Ever Issued.
 This is the first time such an order was ever issued and heretofore the police have always had charge of the ballot boxes after the count has been taken at polling places. They are removed to the station houses immediately after the inspectors and clerks have counted up the ballots.
 Mir Twins, the defeated Republican mayoralty candidate, was asked by Hearst to act as his counsel in the fight he will wage to be declared mayor. MT. Wins refused, but said he would gladly CO., operate with the attorneys who would conduct the fight as an assistant coun- sel.
 When notice was served on the ser geants in command of Charles Street and West Twentieth street stations to send their ballot boxes to the bureau of cleo tions. the sergeants refused. saying the captains of their stations were the men to tell them what to do, and that they would not send the boxes until their superior officers had notified them.
 At 2:45 o'clock this morning two patrol men from the East Fifteenth street and the Elizabeth street stations arrived at the bureau of elections the first with twelve ballot boxes and the other with fourteen boxes.
 At that hour the bureau of elections was not open. State Superintendent of Ele' tions Morgan said that he would send deputy superintendents to the bureau, but none had arrived.
 Bitter Fight VIII Be Waged.
 That a bitter fight will be waged in the courts to decide whether George B. Mcclellan or William Randolph Hearst is to be mayor of New York for the next four years, is now assured. The com nlete returns give Mcclellan plurality of 34s5 votes, the smallest ever recorded for a successful mayoralty candidate, and a result which might readily be reversed by a recount of the fyallots.
 MT. Hearst today announced his inten- ton to take an immediate appeal to the supreme court, his managers having de, clared that they had secured evidence oi illegal acts against 1000 inspectors or cleo tion, and 5000 Harst men who went tc the polls to vote for MT. Hearst had found that their names had already beer voted. Most of this fraudulent voting Is said to have been done in East Side assembly districts, especially in the eighteenth

Superintendent Ives report shows
that the enumeration OF school chill
dren in Bates county has gradually
decreased from 10,O27 in 1898 to
s,543 in 1905, or an average loss Of
1861 each year for the past eight
years. A reference to the state su-
perintendent's last report shows the
same condition in a great majority
OF the counties in the state outside OF
the big cities. There has certainly
been an increase in population and
why a decrease in the number of
schoo clildrenis to 1sim XXI ] C Ible
Local conditions might account Tor
such state, but when four, nfths OF
the counties in a growing state like
Missouri show gradual decrease in
school children every year for eight
years, there is certainly cause iorit
somewhere. 1t looks like there might
be something In Teddy's race suicide
ideas, and 1t may be law will have
to be enacted placing premium on
children and thus encourage the
production. While children have
been growing less in the rural com.
munities the cities have had a sur.
plus and thus the result as q whole
has been fairly satisfactory.
