The Iron Market.

The grave danger of a general strike
of coal miners has introduced an
element of uncertainty into the mar
ket, says the Cleveland Iron Trade
Review of Thursday. A few furnaces
have Withdrawn quotations pending
the settlement of the question
whether there is TO be'a strike; but in
many quarters strong hopes are still
entertained that peace will prevail
between the operators and their en-
ployes. While consumers Of pig iron
would be embarrassed, furnace in
terests would probably suffer more
severely. 1t is not believed, however,
that the immediate effect OF a st: Ike
would be important because very
large quantities of coal and coke have
been stored. The pig iron market is
very quiet with signs here and there
of weakness, but for the most part
prices are well maintained. The fur
mace men who justify the present po-
sition of consumers In not freely are,
as a rule. refusing to make lower quo
tations, as they believe such action
would result in further weakening Of
the market. The ferro manganese
market gives promise OF the demand
being more nearly met In the future
than for several months. as the pro-
spect of their resumption Of ship
ments from their principal source of
supply of European ores, the eau
casus, is favorable. A sale was made
in New York within few days at
800 for second half delivery. The de-

Early Dancing Hours.

The idea Of beginning dances at
eight o'clock instead of nine or ten
and thus finishing the festivities at
midnight, has met with favor in
many places. People, young and old,
commend it. The women say that
there is no good reason why it should
not come into vogue. They can as
easily prepare to go to a dance at
eight o'clock IS to Il theatre at the
same hour. The young business men
vino attend the dances are unani-
mously for it. There seems to be no
objection whatever to the change
and many reasons for it. 1t would
do away with much of the tired feel
ing the next morning. and thus make
the dances much pleasanter for every
body.
