THE IRON INDUSTRY.


Special Dispatch TO The Star
CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 22-The
iron Trade Review, In it's current issue,
states that In spite of the continued outnut
of pig iron az an almost unprecedented rate
lurEace STOCKS a as a rule very low and
in many cases shI, Onts from make are
forced in order to supply the fnsistent de-
nands of foundries which are melting on
narrow margins. Travelling men report this
condition as quite general and 1t is further
evidenced by the speedy embarrassment of
fouEdrymen whenever a furnace which is
supplying their needs is unexpectedly
forced out OF blast. The pace at which
furnaces have been driven over a long term
has begun to have a noticeable effect and
reports of stacks blown out for refining are
common. The iron market of the past
week, while quiet, has developed still fur
ther the improved tone which it assumed a
fortnight ago, and prices are firm, with a
fair amount of current business and i'm
proved inquiries.
A striking feature of the week has been
the announcement that, except In certain
heavy sizes, structural materials can be
obtained for practically immediate ship
ment. This unexpected condition came
about through no dimunftion in demand.
but q result of the persistent refusal of
certain mills for some months past to ac-
cept new business. Building operations are
apparently on an even more extensive scale
than at any time during the present period
of prosperity, as is evidenced by the fact
that specifications on western mills for the
first seven weeks of this year are consider
ably in advance of the average for 1905.
These heavy deliveries are being called
for in spite of the fact that heavy tom
nages ordered for building operations late
in the season Of 1905 are just now being
shipped.
A famine In Bessemer ore is threatening
number of furnaces. which win probably
be compelled to change TO other grades OF
iron until the opening of navigation Bar
iron and scrap continue as the weakest
factors of the market.

snArlnI nisnntch to Tho Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, February 23.-There was quite
q brisk recovery in the stock market In this
mornings early dealings, and while the
trading subsequently lost the greater part
OF the animation Il displayed then, the bet
terment in prices was fairly well main
tained. The unexpected show Of strength.
In view OF the unsettled tone with which
the market closed on Wednesday, seemed
to be due In considerable measure to the
sentimental effect created by the substan-
tial advances IN American stocks In the
London market both yesterday and today.
This circumstance was particularly ef-
Gecuye being followed up by purchases for
foreign account which were especially
heavy in United States Steel common and
Union Pacific.
Commission house business continued In
extremely light volume. but there was an
apparent reversal in attitude toward the
market of number Of professional traders
OF sufficiently large caliber as to make their
dealings an effective influence in shaping
prices.
Scant attention appeared to be paid to
the report OF the insurance Investigating
committee, and, at all events, their findings
, and recommendations seemed to play little
part In affecting speculative sentiment.
Uncertainty About Miners.
The uncertainty with regard to the labor
situation in the coal regions was also little
more than a negligible factor In the trad
ing The European stock markets appeared
to regard the progress of the Moroccan ne
gotiatiors with cOmplacency and were unin-
fuenced by reports that Russian financial
affairs had attained more acute phase.
The local money market was relatively
easy. most Of the days borrowing on call
being arranged for between and Az per
cent.
The preliminary estimates of the principal
movements in currency during the week
varied widely. between a net loss of $780,
900 and a net gain Of near.y double that
sum. The estimates were, however, of
some significance, as the banks lost directly
70 the subtreasury more than SI.4G0,00o,
which would indicate that the return flow
OF currency to this point Is in larger volume
A favorable report upon the state of the
winter wheat crop in weekly trade publ
cation was received with satisfaction and
wheat options declined, while corn was
firm.
Sharp Break in Terminal.
A very sharp break in the Chicago ter
m!nal shares was unexplained except by
rather vague rumors that measures were
In contemplation looking to an adjustment
OF the company's finances, In which some
sacrifices might be required of the COM
mon aud preferred stocks.
Union Pacific was one of the most ac-
tive features OF the market, and the stock
was decidedly firm. There were quite def
mite reports that an early announcement
would be made to the effect that the COM
pauy had decided upon a plan for the dis
trihution to the shareholders of the equities
in lts Northern Securities investment but
these were generally regarded as being
somewhat premature.

Washington.-Arth Brown, former
United States senator from Utah, and
one of Utah's most brilliant lawyers,
was shot, probably fatally, in his
rooms in the Raleigh hotel here on
Saturday by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley of
Salt Lake, who avows herself to have
been his former mistress, and who
declares that he is the father of two
children which she has borne within
the past few years. The killing, she
says, was precipitated by his refusal
to marry her.
Brown is in critical condition in
the Emergency hospital. Two shots
were fired at him. One grazed his left
hand, and the other entered his abdo-
men, and lodged in the pelvic cavity.
The surgeons are fearful to operate
upon him for the present, but express
some hope that he may recover.

RIVER FILLING
SAL TON SINK
II Water Can Not be Turned
Back Into Channel Millions
of Dollars Will be Lost.
A Thousand People In the Basin May
Lose Their Homes and a Quar-
ter Of Millions Of Acres of
Farming Land Laid Waste.

Yuma, Ariz.-Once more the en-
tire Colorado river is flowing into the
Salton Sink, and Imperial and Goa
chella valleys are menaced by rising
waters. The main line Of the new
Southern Pacific must again be moved
to higher ground, unless the water
can be brought under control. A thou
sand people in Salton basin must lose
their homes, including a quarter OF
million acres of farming lands, the
Southern Pacific musts build 200 miles
of new main line, and irrigation
about Yuma must be abandoned. The
government Laugana dam irrigation
project may become an impossibility.
At a conservative estimate not less
than $25,000,000 of present values are
at stake upon the success Of efforts
to close the break.
What is known as the Hind dam
was thrown across the new channel,
and an earth dixie was built up paral
lei to the river for ten miles, mainly
In Mexico. On the Arizona side of the |
river is the government dixie. Three |
days ago water found its way through |
both dikes, flooding large areas. This
was thought TO be serious, but was
not considered critical until Sunday
night, when the water developed a
Instinct channel and Monday morning
disclosed the fact, that the entire
liver had found its way around the
Hind dam into the channel from which
t was just barred. The dam itself is
lninjured.
When the water was turned into
he new channel Sunday night, the
Searchlight on the Colorado
'elow the break was stranded two
niles from the water.
