SEVERAL BIG SALES MADE
Furnace Men Meet With Little Success
In Determining Cost of Their
Raw Materials During Com
ing Year.

Cleveland, O., August 29.-(Special)-
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
The excitement characterizing the pig
iron situation of the past fortnight has
subsidized to a considerable extent and
the market has resolved itself into one
strong, but cautious and conservative ae-
tivity
Buying continues exceedingly brisk for
delivery during the first half of 1907, at
about S15 for southern No, foundry;
$1s for northern No. 2; S17.75 to SIS for
Bessemer and $1S for basic. Despite their
sertions that no spot iron remained pro-
ducers have made a number of sales
during the week, in most cases at ex-
tremely high prices, although a lot of
10000 tons of Bessemer for last quarter
delivery, went at the same figure as is
asked for next year. Furnace men are
meeting with little success in determin-
ing the cost of their raw materials for
the coming year.
Ore interests are firm in refusing to con-
slider sales at the present, insisting that
the close of navigation Is early enough
to make quotations. Some coke contracts
for 1907 have been closed, but producers
generally are declining to quote prices
ahead of January l, and early delivery
coke is hard to obtain. The famine In
crude steel is increasing with the with
drawal of the Illinois inland steel COM
panies from the billet market. Tin plate
and sheet works are badly hampered,
one of the latter being in the market
for small billets as a substitute. Tin
plate orders are heavy, due to an ex-
pected advance. Blue enameled sheets
have been advanced 81; spikes 81; track
bolts 81 and light rails to SAL. Great activ-
ity prevails in all finished lines.
The scrap market is strong by reason
of heavy buying by dealers who are
confident of higher prices in the fall,
though consumers as yet are not in the
market to any great extent

HAVE FIRST REHEARSAL
Symphony Orchestra Settles Down t
Good Hard Practice.

The first full rehearsal for the season
of the Minneapolis Symphony orches-
ira took place Friday morning, under
Mr.. Oberhoffer, the conductor. Alex
ander's hall was used as a rehearsal
room.
The sixty-fve musicians of the or
chestra were all in place at 10 O. clock,
and after few remarks of greeting by
the conductor, went promptly to work
and for three hours the hall was filed
with the themes and melodies of
Tschaikowsky, Beethoven and Wagner.
The three works to which Mr.. Ober-
hotter devoted the time of this first re-
hearsal were the fifth symphony of
Tschaikowsky, the Leonore overture,
No. 3, of Beethoven and the "Ride of
the Valkyries'
Tho the hall was, of course, so small
that it seemed to choke with the volume
Of sound emitted in the fortissimo pas
sages, the rehearsal served to prove
conclusively that the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra is going to be a
revelation when the first concert. Of the
season is given at the Auditorium on
the evening of Nov. 9.

THE LITTLE

Now that cold weather is with us
again, theater parties are being planned;
and after the performance come re-
freshments. For formal parties visit
to some well-known restaurant is the
thing, but for the party Of few init
mate friends an informal home spread,
