IRON TRADE DULL
 BUT PROMISING Buying is Expected to Begin at
 Early Date SOUTHERN MARKETS FAIR Manufacturers Are Hopeful of Condi- tions, and Furnaces Needing Re- pairs Are Being Put In Shape
 for Next Years Business.
SOUTHERN MARKETS FAIR

Cleveland, October S0.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The recent disturbances in the nnan- cial market very naturally retarded operations in the already dull iron trade but there has been no general demoralization or alarm. In regard to the Westinghouse and other interests which have been placed in the hands of receivers, the prevailing feeling is that they will work oht of their diff faculties at a not far distant date without loss to any one.
 While no one attempts to belittle the splendid services which have been rendered by men of large capital in supporting the stock market and finan- cial institutions, 1t should not be for gotten that such support would have been impossible had not the industrial conditions of the country been sound and banks much better prepared to meet an emergency than they had been in past crises.
 Considerable curtailment of produc- ton is expected to be a feature of No- Vember. Already the Columbus plant of the United States Steel corporation, consisting of two blast furnaces and d sheet bar mill, has been closed, the Edgar Tn omas plant is running on short time: a number of Independent blast furnaces are preparing to blow out and some steel foundries and other concerns will undoub tedly reduce their outputs, but this reduction is expected to come slowly and the idleness of plants it is to be hoped, will not be necessary for a long period.
 Indications are not lacking that ow ing to the excellent crops and activity of railroads. considerable buying will soon be imperative. The week has been exceedingly quiet in the pig iron mar ket The weakness of the southern product noticeable especially in the Cincinnati district last week is evident in other centers.

At the Majestic.

Walter Terry and Nellie Elmer are a big hit this week at the Majestic theatre. Their sketch is called "The Doctor and the Show Girl' and proves a valuable vehicle in allowing the team to introduce some high-class merry making. Miss Elmer is an exceptionally clever dancer, and in the role of the actress she dis plays her dramatic ability to nicety and also shows her traits in comedy lines Terry is a fun maker of the first water, and when the two get started there is all kinds of fun and laughter.

At the Bijou.

Theodore Kremer has surpassed himself in "The Outlaws Christmas" which is at the Bijou theatre this week. This we'll known writer of melodramas has written many successes, but his latest play seems to be even more exciting than usual. There are four acts and eleven scenes, and the elebaroate scenic effects deserve special mention. Some of the scenes are thrilling and realistic. The company is very well balanced. There will be a mati- nee this afternoon and a performance to- night.

At the Gayety.

The boomerang hat throwing and jug gling of Indian clubs by Moran and Wiser is making a tremendous hit at the Gayety this week. Their skill in manipulating hats and clubs is nothing short of mar vicious, and they literally bring the audi ence to it's feet when they exchange clubs, hurling them at each other with all their strength. A new style of burlesque is being offered under the title of '"The Casino Girls' EXtravaganza company"
