.PIG IRON SHOWS
 IMPROVED TONE
Several Heavy Inquiries Have
 Been Reported
RECORD PRODUCTION MADE
Specifications Show That Building Per mits Are 50 Per Cent Heavier Than Last Year-Elghty-
 seven Furnaces Active.

Cleveland, O.. February 14.-(Special.) )- The Iron Trade review tomorrow will say: The pig iron market shows con- siderable improvement in tone. While no large sales are reported there is a general increase of interest on the part of buy CTS and some heavy inquiries including one from the Allis-Chalmers company for from ten thousand to fifteen thousand tons, are pending. The steel corporation has purchased 16,oOO tons of Bessemer from the Bessemer association on the op- ton obtained at the close of the old year, the price being s1725 valley. This purchase takes all the iron the assoeia- ton has to sell for the first quarter
 The foundries are busy and the prices of foundry grades are somewhat strong CT. Basic is not as active as it has been. The price of hoops has been ad- vanced to $4 per ton New business in finished material is not as heavy but the demand for delivery is insistent. Specifi- cations show that building permits are about 50 per cent heavier than for last year and that in spite of the fact that a large amount of building has been done, this winter there will be great activity during the spring and summer. Sales of structural material include 1000 tons of shapes for new lake vessels while the same vessels will require about 14,000 tons of plates. Deliveries are somewhat easier on plates but the mills have all they can do and in the east premiums of $2 per ton are obtained on some busi- ness.
 Electric railways have been heavy buy CTS of rails during the past week. The buying of track materials continues at d lively rate. Steam railways are specify ing heavily on the large purchases of standard sections which they have made. The pressure for delivery of wire and wire products is unabated and stocks are low.

The students sang two or three songs for the President who afterwards greeted each one personally. President Roosevelt addressed them, saying in part:
 Tt is a peculiar pleasure to me to greet YOU today, and no body of your fellow citizens can have greater claim to be received at the White House than body like this, which stands for the funda- mental duty of American citizenship, the duty of self-education,
 "The only way in which any section of our citizens of no matter what color can be permanently benefited is by teaching them to pull their own weight, to do their own duty, their duty to themselves their duty to their neghbors, their duty to the state at large"
 After listening to the songs the Presi- dent made the following remarks:
 "The other day a great French literary man who was peculiarly interested in popular songs in the music developed by the different people of the old world came here and happened to mention to me that as far as he could see there were but two chances for the development of schools of American music, of American singing, and these would come, one from The colored people, and one from the vanishing Indian folk, especially the southwest. I want all of you to realize the importance and dignity of your mu- sical work I feel that there is very strong chance that gradually out of the capacity for melody that your race has we shall develop some school of American music"
