IRON TRADE DEADLOCK.
Awaiting Better Data for Price Basis
for Buying Movement.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 1S-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
The deadlock in the iron trade continues.
but it Is a wait for better data as~to the
price basis for the next buying movement,
and not necessarily an indication of
check upon consumption.
Construction work still stands out as the
strong feature of current demand. The
American Bridge Company closed 1900
tons on well-distributed buying the past
week. and estimates a total of 10000 tons
for May.
Bids on the new Pennsylvania railroad
station foundations in New York have gone
in. representing 10000 to q 900 tons, and
the superstructure will require 10000 tons
more At Chicago the steel for the new
Baldwin building was let. On the lakes.
contracts for three large freighters were
closed in the week for delivery in 1906.
They Will require about 1900 tons Of
steel The American Shipbuildng Com
pany now has eleven boats to build for next
year. and never has had so many contracts
so far ahead. That the car-buiding pro-
grams of the railroads are to go farther Is
now more certain than appeared only recent
ly The total of steel car orders placed this
year is now estimated at SO 900, and of all
cars at 10000. Considerable additions to
the rail tonnage of 1905 are also expected.
Steel bar contracts for the second half of
the year are not expected to be nearly AS
large as those of the latter part of 1904
1t is plain that some buyers in agricul-
tural lines covered for most OF this year
when they placed their orders at 1.3Oc.,
though the material was stipulated to be
taken out before July l. and will be SO
taken out. 81.
Production of coke and anthracite iron
was reported at 1,922,041 tons, or at
daily rate In excess of that for March.
In all pig iron markets the feeling Is
easier as the weeks pass without the APP
pearance of buying. For southern iron
Sl3 Birmingham is now quoted, and on
northern irons both in the east. where
lines have been well held by the furnaces.
and in the central west quotations are
from % TO 80 cents lower. The market Is
practically lifeless.

Purchase of Supplies for Canal

SUBJECT ON CHANGE
SPECULATIVE SENTIMENT SOME
WHAT DISTURBED.
New and Unsettled Influence on Other
wise Weak Market-No Other
Significant News.
srecInl Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, May 1S-There was virtu-
ally but one topic of discussion in Wall
street today, and that was the announced
intention of the administration at Wash
ington relating to the purchase of supplies
required in the construction of the Panama
canal This question in its various aspects,
all of which are obvious as not to re-
quire elucidation, served to quite thorough
ly disturb confidence and to disconcert
speculative sentiment. 1t was perhaps quite
natural that the views with regard to the
probable upshot of the administrations poll
icy should have been reflected in empha-
sized form in the dealing in the United
States Steel scurties.
OF course, neither the United States Steel
Corporation nor the others of the country 5
great manufacturing concerns can Sui1er
from the loss of a business which they have
never enjoyed but the chief bearing of the
Administrations policy was thought to lie
in its probable relation to revision OF the
taTin at the next meeting of the national
Congress. AT all events. here Is a new ana
unsettling influence obtruded upon Situa-
ton already more or less weakened by the
several familiar events of the present
spring. London appeared to take the same
view of the Panama question that obtained
in New York. and foreign houses were par
ticularly heavy sellers of the United States
Steel stocks in the market
The general London stock market was not
weak the higher grade issues showing
strength on the very easy monetary situa-
ton at that point The total operations
here for foreign account amounted to over
10000 shares. fully 5000 shares of which
represented sales of the United States steel
stocks. There was no news at all. aside
from that of routine character. of gen
eral or particular significance. The grain
market firm. although the days
weather advices from the grain belt were
rather more assuring.
The money market remained extremely
easy, although the banks increased their
loss in cash to the subtreasury on the week
to 81 ri 600. The market was wanting in
some of the more striking features of yes
terday'S dealings, except around the open
ing of business when renewed speculative
activity was observed in the instances of

Lodgings, Three Cents.
From the Broadway.

No enthusiastic advocate of cooperative
schemes ever dreamed Of such results as
have been achieved by the clerks OF the
railway mail service who work In the trav-
cling post Offices that run in and out of
New York.
They have a lodging house at No 20
Vesey street. which they maintain. at a
cost of $12 year for each OF the 100
clerks who put up there at the New York
end OF their runs. This is trifie over
three cents night for each clerk
For this sum, hardly the cost of launder-
ing the bed linen. each railway mail clerk
who does not have a home in or near the
city has clean bed whenever he Is In
New York. with the use of comfortable
reading room. and he is in no peril OF miss
ing his train through the carelessness Of a
hotel clerk, for the call system In force is
so perfect that only four men have been
late for their runa In eight years.

Points

NEW YORK. May 1S.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of one to seven
points on active covering, with nearby
shorts particularly uneasy. and May selling
at 1856 on the call The buying was
prompted by very firm cables and large
spot sales reported in the English market,
while on the advance there was heavy real
izing by bull leaders.
After the first rush of covering. conse-
quently. the market sagged off, and by the
end of the first hour had declined to net
loss of about two to three points on the
active months. The market was less active
at the decline and looked very nervous.
After the active trading of the early ses-
sion. during which the bull leaders were
estimated to have disposed of some 25.OOO
bales to shorts and fresh buyers for long
account, the market became quiet and had
a very nervous look. with prices about
five to six points net lower.
Spot cotton quiet; middling uplands, $50;
middling gulf. $50.

Great Irrigation Work In Nevada.
From the Search-Light.


The reclamation service has planned some
gigantic irrigation works In Nevada The
first proposition is to raise the dam at the
outlet of Lake Tahoe thirty feet The lake
is fourteen by twenty-eight miles In area
To raise this thirty feet will make a mighty
volume of water. At Wadsworth the
Truckee is to have a dam seventy-five feet
high. This water is to be carried twenty
eight miles through great canal across
to the Carson river. The Carson Is to have
dam no feet high. which will make a
reservoir i3h miles long and 81 miles wide.
which will hold water enough to cover
2S600 acres OF land one foot deep. Other
great works are under way to conserve the
water of the Humboldt which now In high
water runs to waste.

COUNCIL TO CONSIDER MATTER
OF Contract for Lighting City and
Pumping Water.

With two propositions before them
for street lighting and pumping water,
the members of the city council will
discuss the subject very thoroughly
before the next regular meeting of
that body on Thursday night next,
when definite action is probable.
Two companies are in the field, each
desiring the contract.
The Rhode Island company desiring
the franchise has submitted o very fa-
vorsble bd. setting forth IN detail the
exact figures at which the work can be
performed.
A new Richmond IN the field is rep
resented by Mr.. Fred Sawyer, of an
Americus company.
This latter company has ample imam
cial backing, it is unders TODD, and will
be a competitor when the contract is
given out. In the meanwhile the coun
cilmen will investigate the matter flu y
and be prepared to act advisedly,
The representative of the Rhode Is.
land company states that, while it viii
not contract to lay a street railway, ht
feels safe in saying that this enterprise
would follow the building of the greG
electric plant it proposes to erect IL
| Amerlcus.
Under the Georgia law a city canno
aid in building a railroad, hence any
] agreement of this kind with Americu
might be voIdtd.
Upon the other hand. while not con
tracing to construct an electric line, i
will be to the company's interest, il
due time, TO install a railway system
here, to be operated in conjunction
with it's power plant. OF it's building
there is little doubt.
Council will consider both PROPOSE
tons very thoroughly before reaching
any agreement or awarding the con
tract to either company.
