THE IRON INDUSTRY.
Buyers Holding Back Orders for Flu
ture DEVELOPMENTS.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 1.-The
Iron Trade Review. in its current issue,
centers in the volume Of buying which will
be necessary to cover the needs of the sec
ond quarter and especially of the last half
made up of small tonnages for immediate
shipment and the aggregate is not large.
Especially in the central west buyers are
manifesting a growing inclination to await
developments before contracting for for
ward delivery and the situation is conse-
quently quiet. Much the same conditions
prevail generally. Furnaces are we'll sold,
however, through the first quarter and in
many cases until July /, and are not suf-
fering.
Little fear Is expressed that the present
period of dullness will become permanent;
record activities in foundries and every
branch of finished production furnish as
suranee that the heavy demand of iron is
agricultural works are driven to the limit
and plate and sheet mills are still behind
in orders; but 1t is chiefly in the line of
building that the greatest activity is man
Tested and the prospects for an extremely
busy season are brightest. -
New York reports construction operations
planned or under way which will require
100000 tons of structural materials. Chica-
go reports about $1,000 tons for that city
and vicinity and in other sections the same
conditions exist. This heavy tonnage has
developed in the face of the continuance
of building operations, though a mild open
winter Is evidence Of the tremendous scope
of the present period of activity.
Steel rail orders of unusual size have
been placed during the week and inquiries
for additional heavy tonnages are current
and will develop into early orders. Crude
steel is in eager demand, and the scarcity
Of billets has forced recourse to old steel
car axIes wherever possible. Scrap con-
tinues weak and has suffered with coke
from the open weather.

Powers Case in Kentucky Legislature.

The attempt to repeal the statute which
had led to the transfer of Caleb Powers
from state to federal courts was defeated
by strict party vote when the state SEN
ate at Frankfort, KY. Tuesday recom
mitted Senator Burnam's bin to that effect.
The section for which an appeal was
sought was that part of the criminal code
which allows no review by the higher
courts of the action of circuit court on a
motion to discharge the panel OF Jurors.
II was because Of this section that United
States Judge Cochran transferred from the
state to the federal courts the case OF Caleb

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In two Instances at today's meeting Of
the stock exchange efforts were made to
buy securities on the fire insurance list
Some of thu, stock of Corcorau Fire Insur-
ance was wanted-how much is not known,
as the bid was for quotation lot only. and
an advance of two points over the bid of
yesterday did not have the result in get
ting even an Offer to sell at any price, and
so the extent of the demand was not
brought out.
An advance was made in the bid price for
Arlington OF half a point, and then one OF
the brokers said that plans were under
consideration for alterations in the build
ing, which would increase the revenue from
that source.
This sounded SO good to the broker maxi
ing the advanced bid that he added another
quarter of point to his first bid. The ask
ing price jumped five points ahead OF that
of yesterday. There was, however. nothing
done.
The new storage company. the Security,
began business today. and its stock VIAL
proper action is taken. In place of the
rights which have been dealt in what are
known as warrants will be used to repre-
sent fractional parts of shares.
There was some sales of telephone stock
at 60 and a. fraction higher, and also OF
some lots OF gas stock at 81 and fractional
ly higher, but the demand In either case
did not seem to be insfstent at these figures,
although the stock was to be had at only
slight advance.
The men who are usually supposed to be
familiar with what Is being done in local
street railroad circles are apparently not up
with what is now going on. If current re-
ports can be relied upon. 1t Is concluded
by some that a new set of ffnanciers have
come upon the scene
In other words, there is not much known
at the usual sources of such information
about what is going at the Virginia side
of the Aqueduct bridge, and some people
are inclined for that reason to be rather
skeptical of the stories that are told Of
railroad development and combinations and
so forth
Still it may be all true and some day the
cars of the Capital Traction Company may
be speeding over the Aqueduct bridge to
end al Falls Church or some other point
In that locality, and also that the train
service of the Wabash railroad may come
to the District at that end of the bridge.
1t is also possible that the Falls Church
railroad may be acquired by one other of
the existing roads there, but those who
have given attention to the current talk
are little puzzled to know how the Capt.
tai Traction Company is going to get
money for any extensive expenditure of the
sort without the consent of Congress.
There are some other difficulties in the
way, but leaving those aside. If the
schemes mentioned are not carried out
there is no question that the section at
that end of the bridge is attracting at
tention because of business possibilities.

NEW YORK. February There was
some disappointment evident at the open

day afternoons pronounced buoyancy was
not Immediately resumed in the early
transactions. With the course of the day,
however, the dealings took on decidedly
firm tone, and most of the active stocks
recovered easily such declines as took
place during the first hour of business.
The London stock market was generally
strong and the Bank of Englands week.
ly statement was a satisfactory exhibit,
the ratio of reserves to liabilities rising
nearly = per cent above last weeks fig
ures. Foreign houses continued to buy in
this market. taking on balance about
20 900 shares.
The volume of business continued on a
large scale and reflected a broad distri-
button of speculative interest. There were
few matters of Importance relating to
particular securities apart from more or
less routine circumstances.
1t became generally known early in the
day that there would be introduced into
Congress a measure looking TO an investi-
cation of the Union Pacitics holdings or
Southern Pacific stock but being fore
warned of that matter, instead of being
taken more or less unawares,- as was the
case with the Pennsylvania investigation,
Wall street accepted the new movement
with compCSure.
