ENORMOUS DEMAND
 FOR STEEL

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 20-The demand for raw material used in the manufac- ture of steel is so great that all rec ords in imports of iron ores were eclipsed last month, when nearly 100000 tons arrived in New York and other eastern ports. While more than one-half of the January imports of ore came from Spain and Scotland, there were two cargoes from Persia. The call for ore by mills located in the interior is so great that considerable Imports are being made Englan |, Spain, Greece and Persia. In the his tory of this country the demand for iron was never greater that at the present time.

HARTMAN AND
 THE COTTON BELT
New York, Memphis and >t. Louis Oi- fcialS Declare That Eastern Wizard
 Has Not Acquired Control.

\ pumol was circulated in the ex=
 changes and on the streets yesterday
 to the effect that E. II. Hartman. who has become known as the wizard of railroad consolidation, had acquired a controlling interest ill the St. Louis and Southwestern railway, commonly known as the Cotton Belt, which fer
 a number of years has been under the
 control of the Gould interests, says
 the Memphis Commercial Appeal Nothing of definite nature coul'
 be learned either as to the source of the run0f, OF it's authenticity Lo-
 cal officials of the roads interested without exception said thai they had heard nothing regarding any such inl- pending deal, and among well-poste1 railroad men the rumor was generally discredited. The rumor naturally ere as it was realized that if the fourteen hundred miles of the Cotton Belt sys- tenn had been secured by the Harri- man interests it might mean very ma terial changes in the railroad situation in the southwest.
 Inquiry at the general offices of the Cotton Belt in St. Louis met with the statement that the rumor positiely had
 no foundation in fact, so far as offic- ials at headquarters were aware. 1t was also stated in New York last nigh that no negotiation for the
 property have eyer been entered into by the Hartman interests and that
 the Gould interests had no intention
 of relinquishing their control.
 The following dispatch was received from New York regarding the rumor:
 Associates of Edward H. Harri-
 man today characterized as absurd a
 report that he had purchased a con trolling interest in the St. Louis South
 western railroad. No negotiations for the property have ever been entertain
 ed by the Hartman interests. It was
 also denied by the Gould interests
 that there was any intention of sell
 ing the property.

 A request from ". x. Fergus, by which he asked the Council to per init him to operate a plumbing shop under the license of the de- funct plumbing firm, Citizens Plumbing Company, was turned down. Alderman Jordan made the request for MT Fergus and such a procedure was strongly opposed by Alderman Nichol. The latter stated that he was making no fight against MT. Fergus or anyone else, but that he believed it was time for the city to put a stop to such methods of re- ducing the city's finances 'It is like transferring a saloon license," he said. Fergus is not successor to the plumbing company. He is mere ly trying to operate under another firms license, when the firm has OCCu uSdu lOI SlA lIlOICHo. iluCl man Jordan stated that this had been done before and in saloon cases, too. He was followed by AL derman Nichol, who again said to transfer the license would be to continue bad form of doing things He carried his point. for the Coun- cil decline1 to permit Fergus to operate under the license of the de- funct company.
