BUYING IF P|G IRON
 IS ACTIVE IN FAST
Sales of Steel to Roads for '00
 Delivery
FOUNDRY IRON STRONGER
Agricultural Implement Makers Sur render After Long Struggle for
 Lower Prices and Buy
 Heavily During Week.

New York, May 22.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 Sales of steel for delivery in 1908 an- nounced by one of the large man. ufacturers this week, include 65,OOO tons to the Northern Pacific, 10,00O tons to the St. Louis and San Francisco; 10000 to the Illinois Central and 40O0 tons to the Great Northern Another company has booked 10000 tons for the St. Louis and San Francisco, but the reported sale to the Southern railway has not yet been effected.
 There are some additional large in- quiries in the market, one company hav- in- under consideration about 1000, 900 tons. Bids have gone in for 5000 tons for Panama and 13000 tons for Manchuria have been booked.
 Buying for 1908 delivery has been a feature in other departments of the traue, although in some isolated in- stances at least it's significance Is some what clouded by the fact that the seller protects the buyer against decline.
 An interesting transaction is the sale in Cleve eland of 2o,000 tons of malleable Bessemer for delivery during the first half of 1908 on the basis of $22 at fur nace There have been some sales, too, of southern iron for the first quarter on
 
 2. It is understood, however, that the furnaces are not encouraging transac- tions of this character. It IS estimated that eastern steel makers have made additional purchases of basic pig for second half delivery to the eX- tent of close to 300O0 tons and there are indications that the movement has not yet quite ended
 Chicago reports the sale In that dis trict oe 5000 tons of Mlddlesboro iron with the probability of further transactions. The English markets have eased off some- what, warrants being quoted at 6Os, Sd today, for Middlesboro
 On the whole the foundry iron mar A.t has become stronger during the week, although the feeling in the trade persists that prices are unduly high and that lower level. if 1t could be safely reached, would be far less dangerous
 The agricultural implement manufac- turers have apparently surrendered after a long struggle to secure lower prices for bars for the season which begins on J -ly l. They have bought heavily during the week from makers in the west and central west, and what is a striking com mentary on the reports of crop damage have been more tonnage than year ago.
 Thcce has been a good run of business in structural material. In the cast iron pipe trade the volume of business is rather lighter than usual this season of the year.
 Coke for early delivery has been very weak lately and strictly first class Con nellsville has sold down to $2@2.10 at ovens.

READY TO FIGHT
THE LIQUOR, MEN

James M. Mayson, Atlanta's city at
torney, chairman of the Fulton coun-
ty Anti-Saloon League and candidate
for Congress in the Fifth district,
delivered an address here before the.
Methodist ministers meeting, in
which. he declared that the fight.
aginst liquor in Georgia has only just
begun.
He declared that the liquor traffic
had no adherent right to exist, and
that the liquor interests would get
no comfort as a result of invoking
the federal constitution.
He said that a determined fight
would be made against the clubs
which are now springing up all over
the state to carry on the liquor traf-
fic. He asserted that only bona fde
clubs keeping lockers would be per-
mitted to exist, and stated that those
organized f orthe purpose of defeat
ing the law would soon be put out
of business.

EVEN THE OYSTER
WILL BE HIGHER
Bivalves Will Advance With
The Season.

There is no balm in Gilead, for Am
CIRCUS folks who are compelled to
pay more for their meats and medi-
cines, flour and other food, mules
and millinery, will have to put up
more money for the succulent oys-
ter or else stick to bacon. For pre-
dictiOns among oyster men now are
that coming season will be the light
est in history. No particular reason
is given for the shortage other than
that oysters are becoming scarce and
each season finds it more difficult for
the dealers to meet the demand This
has been noticed for several years,
although the jump taken this year is
greater than heretofore and as no
warning had been given the dealers
will be pressed to fill orders after
Oct. Is, when the season really opens
The decrease in the supply from
year to year has never been marked
only in some sorts of oysters until
now, but that is the only reason given
for the conditions. Packers and
other large dealers are alarmed over
the situation.
