GAEKWAR DISAPPROVES
 SENSATIONAL PRESS
Foreign Potentate, Just Before De- parture, Airs His Views About
 American Newspapers.

New York, July 27.--In an interview be- fore his departure the Gaekwar of Ba- roda today expressed himself regarding
 While the American press Is excel lent. though inquistlve, I believe that your so-called yellow press is doing harm. It is purveying sensatlonalism rather than seeking to instruct While the press should seek to interest the higher class. 1t should also seek 10 instruct the lower class. for they should be taught as well as amused. This end cannot be attained by printing sensational stories. murders, elopments, police cases and items which appeal to the lowest rather than to the highest in men"

Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port follows:
 There has been heavy buying of pig iron this week. All kinds of iron have been in demand and the position of the furnaces has been much strengthened by the free purchasing. Some of the Ohio furnaces are sold up for the balance of the year and all of them have splen- did order books.
 The southern furnaces have had more business offered them than could be han dled and many of them, in consequence, are entirely out of the market
 There are no stocks of iron on hand in furnace yards and there are many re- quests for quick shipment that the fur naces cannot handle. It Is an undoubted fact that for the last two months pro- duction has been declining This has come about from variety of causes; a lack of labor, short supply of raw materials and an unusual number of furnaces out for repairs. At the same time, consump- ton has been steadily increasing so that the situation is one of great strength. In fact when it Is remembered that the most active time in the year comes in the fall months, 1t is easy to see that the prospects in the iron trade are rosy"
 Prices have advanced 25 cents on south ern iron during the week and northern iron is being held at a maximum. The coke market Is decidedly active and prices are very firm

P|G IRON MARKET FIRM AT ADVANCE Hardens at S14 on No. 2
 Basis HIGHER PRICES EXPECTED Great Demand for Iron and Demand Is 7 Likely to Become clamorous.
 There Are No Stocks
 On Yards.
HIGHER PRICES EXPECTED

The Birmingham iron market Is now firm on a $14 No. 2 foundry basis. This Is an advance of 50 cents since the first of the week and S1 over the price at which some of the furnace companies were sell ing two weeks ago. The tendency is de- cidedly upward and next week it Is prob able the price will be s15 for No. 3 foun- dry. There Is a brisk demand for foundry iron and it Is likely to be clamorous.
 Rogers, Brown X Co.'S Cincinnati re- port for the current week says:
 Excellent business is the rule in all markets. The great scarcity of steel malS- ing grades of pig iron has resulted in the lack of any large sales, but the general run of foundry business Is thor oughly satisfactory. The market Is strong and prices are firm with an advancing tendency Reports from the south show that there Is the same solG-up condition among Birmingham furnaces as has been the rule in the north for several weeks past. Shortage of labor continues and production is still below normal. with little prospect of early improvement. Any uncertainty as to business during the DdldHGb Ol lillS year WHICH ids HlAHtIAp existed, should now have been dspell- ed, and there Is every prospect of an excellent market during 1906. There are several good inquiries out for tonnage during the last quarter and business is contemplated for the early part of 1907.
 There is absolutely no let up in the immense demand for steel rails and struc- tural steel. very large tonnage in both lines was placed during the week.
 In the central west there is unusual ac- tivity among stove makers and foun- dries making similar light castings. This has made the demands on southern fur naces greater than ever, and these de- mands will very likely exceed the pro- duetion of southern tonnage.
 The shortage of labor in the Councils vile coke field Is acute and Is causing very serious interference with the full running of Connellsyille operations. This is to be deplored coke Is in good de- mand and prices are very firm. This same holds true of other districts and 1t Is thought will likely continue.
