somebody shot the party with the gun
as they started from the yard. Bryant
went with the boys to show them the
way and admitted having see the en-
tire occurrence. He said the party
went UP lear edge of the yard, called
Banks and he came out. Warrant was
read to him and the negro resisted
arrest and threw pistol in the face Of
Cook. Cook drew his gun and then
Bryant ran. He heard two pistol
shots and then when he had gone
about forty yards some one shot at
him. shot falling all around him. Rig
gins told same story that Cook told,

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
AN increase in the number of inquiries
and a considerably larger number of sales,
though still in moderate tonnages. to-
gether with a much freer movement Of
currency and an almost normal condition
as regards collections, have given to the
market of the week just ending a much
better tone.
"Reinstatements are beginning to super
sede extensions and cancellations in
volume and a strong and apparent au-
thoritative belief exists that the evidences
Of the week are trustworthy signs of
permanent improvement. Plant operations.
however. continue to remain in a condition
of comparative stagnation.
Interest in pig iron is stronger, but
prices aud transactions are an uncertain
quantity, Store trade in finished materials
has been the feature of the week. but the
continuance of rapidly depleted stocks will
sooner or later result in a strong demand
for mill shipments, of necessity, il would
seem, shortly after the opening Of the
new year.
There is a pretty general weakness in
prices with a few exceptions. Cast iron
pipe is quoted off 81 per ton and scrap
prices continue to sag. A tremendous ton
mage of railroad scrap has been offered
