locomotive companies, bridge builders and pipe makers report order books filled al- most to completion. There seems to be in all markets a conservative generosity of purchases, which is at the bottom of all ideal industrial conditions.
 It is interesting to note how certain phases of foreign affairs influence the market here, and just now the Russian revolution is proving of considerable mo- ment in the price and production of Fer ro-manganese There is quantity of this material imported into this country, and within the last two weeks the price has advanced materially. The English manu. lecturers report that the internal disturb ances in Russia will cut down the pro- duct of manganese ore to such an extent as to make their production of Ferro-man- ganese very uncertain, with prices fiuctn- ating accordingly. On this account some. of the leading consumers in this eoun- try contemplate placing business for an extended period in large quantities at present figures. It appears to be only question of short time before prices on this commodity will see further adb vance.
 The west has come to the front the past week with a large purchase, by a leading implement manufacturer. of about fifty thousand tons for delivery at their various plants during the last half of this year.
 In spite of the fact that better wealth CT conditions have made transportation : easier. ovens In many directions are com plaining of car shortage and coke is not moving with the freedom that all would wish. Prices are without change
 Matthew Addy X Companys pig iron report for the week says:
 The most important news of the week is the announcement of the March sta tistics showing a reduction in the mer- chant furnace stocks last month of more than 3l 900 tons. This reduction in the face of a largely increased production is significant 1t shows that iron is be- ing shipped ont from the furnaces at q faster rate than it is being made. When a careful analysis Is made of production it Is seen that the increase is not in foundry irons, but in irons intended for use in steel manufacture-basic and Bes- semer. There has been no increase what ever, or at least none worth mentioning. In the output of foundry irons. Taking the matter as n whole the amount of iron on hand at the furnaces is less than weeks supply. In fact this available stock is mere bagatelle, and indicates that the consuming interests of the coun- try are dependent on shipments from day to day to keep running.
 Were anything to happen to shut down even a small number of furnaces there would at once be a shortage which would compel consumers in various parts of the country to either shut down or largely curtail their operations These March statistics have been awaited eagerly by both producers and consumers and they cannot fail to very materially strength en the market, being so decidedly on the right side of the ledger.

 CHURCH TOMORROW
THE REV. DR. A. B. CURRY, FOR
 MERLY OF BIRMINGHAM, WILL PREACH AT THE SOUTH HIGH
 LANDS BRIAN CHURCH

Dr. Curry was for long time pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, and has many admirers here who will be glad to hear him again. He is considered a splendid pastor as well as an able speaker, and it is expected the church will be taxed to its fullest capacity.
 The South Highlands Presbyterian church was organized in 1888, and for some time worshipped in a frame struc- ture on Eleventh avenue. In 1893 the present building was completed, the Rev. Dr. Thornton Whaling being the pastor at that time. The mortgage was not lifted however, until April 1, this year, when several thousand dollars was raised The church, situated the corner of High land avenue and Twenty first street, is handsome structure of stone, with 0 large seating capacity, good acoustics, and well heated and lighted. It cost $25,000
 The congregation was at first small but has steadily increased until now it has 8 membership of over three hundred, with five elders and nine deacons. The Rev Dr. Sterling J. Foster, the present pas tor of the church. has been here a little over two years, anc it is largely due to his efforts In building up cooperative congregation that the church debt was paid

FURNACE STOCKS
 GREATLY REDUCED
THIS IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT MARCH PRODUCTION WAS THE LARGEST ON REcoRD-VERY STRONG OUTLOOK.

Rogers. Brown X Co.'S Cincinnati report of yesterdays date says:
 The greatest monthly production on rec ord Is reported for March. Two million tons output for the month and reduc- tion in furnace stocks of over 1000 tons Is effective evdnce of neavy consump- ton. If the makers of pig iron and coke were In absolute control of the situation. they could hardly effect one which would be more satisfactory to all concerned than that now existing. The market remains on a most conservative basis. and all the influences which go to make up the iron trade are tending unmlstakably to a continuance of present conditions.
 There has been talk of higher prices. and these will probably come, not by talk ing advantage of unwary buyers or from a wish to gain on account of the momen- tary situation but as a natural and direct result of the increased cost which all fur naces will have to meet during the last half of the present year. Each day brings forward more strongly the fact that the blast furnace interests are having difficult ty in keeping up with the demands which are being made upon them. This is very much more noticeable in some grades than others. Those used by steel mak- CTS are clearly to be called scarce. and the recent heavy purchases of Bessemer iron have emphasized this fact
 From some points there have been com plaints of orders not coming in with all the rapidity desired, but it must be re- membered that the present scale of oper- ation is so much greater than for long time past, that what seems like dullness in comparison with quite recent purchases is really fair. activity.
