IRON MARKET ACTIVE.
Improved Feeling in Trade-orders
Numerous and Deliveries Prompt.


Numerous and Deliveries Prompt.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. September 19.-The
Iron Trade Review today says:
The pig iron market has been more active
in the east but is dull in the west and
prices are lower.
A new record in structural material was
made by the American Bridge Company In
August, the product being SO, 700 tons. 1t Is
expected that a still better record will be
made in October. Recent orders of struc-
tural material include 5000 tons of bridge
material awarded by a western railroad to
the American Bridge Company, and num-
Der Of other heavy railroad orders are
pending. Independent interests have OBJ
tanned their share of work, including three
Chicago jobs all over 1000 tons, and the
superstructure of the new court house at
Cleveland.
Deliveries on sheets have much improved,
and the demand is decreased. Independents
ship very promptly. There has been strong
competition rather small tonnages OF
sheets. and persistent reports of cutting in
prices are in circulation. Some important
interests. which have been obtaining large
months. are now taking desirable business
at $170 Pttsburg. Tin pate orders are
not numerous.
The demand for coke continues strong
and prices are we'll maintained The old
material market shows increased signs Of
weakness, with prices lower in nearly all
centerS.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
LONDON, September 19.-The residents Of
the borough Of Camberwell. which is in the
southeastern part Of London. are perturbed
over remarkable phenomenon, the occur
renee OF which Is attested by several eye
witnesses, who say that at 0 o'clock this
morning three bright, star-1ike objects fell
from the heavens. impacting on the street
with three sharp detonations louder than
pistol shots.
The road shows traces Of the impact
The paving stones are indented and scorch-
ed. An eyewitness picked I'D number
of chrome-colored Jumps. resembling rusty
iron. and burned his hands painfully in SO
doing. According to his story. the largest
lump was three-quarters of an inch by
half an inch in size. But in a few hours
1t crumbled into smaller particles or partly
disappeared by radiation.
Among the various theories of the phe-
nomenon~ that are advanced is that these
bolts from the blue are some of the wreck
age left behind by the comet which was
recently visible to the naked eye and
through whose train of countless frag-
ments the earth passed on September -
A mystifying feature of the particles that
have been saved is their greasy nature.
They show greasy patches through the
paper in which they are wrapped.

The Bank of Engand's weekly return

showed no substantial alteration. The tone
of the commodity markets was as apathetic

Central Dividend Maintained.

NEW YORK, September 19-The directors
Of the New York Central and Hudson River
railroad met yesterday and declared the
regular quarterly dividend of ~ per cent OH
the capital stock. The meeting was the
first since last July to be attended by moro
than few directors, and on that account
there was great deal of routine matter to
be gone through. The only action of a
public nature, 1t was said. was the passing
of resolution that hereafter dividends be
paid only to stockholders of record twenty
days before date of payment. This was
done because the number of stockholders
has practically doubled since the first of the
year

NEW YORK. September 19.-Some specu-
lators seem to be looking for a sharp up
ward turn in the stock market, but the
more conservative banking and railroad
interests think that the situation as a
whole does not warrant such movement.
Several prominent railroad officials from
different sections Of the United States are
In town this morning. and from what they
say it Is easy to see that they do not re-
gard the railroad situation as materially
changed for the better. On the contrary.
they apparently look for a continuance of
activity on the part Of aspiring politicians,
and believe that the result will be a further
disturbance Of the position Of the railroads.
1t Is easy to see also that many important
business people look for a substantial cur
tailment in trade, and 1t Is even intimated
In some quarters that because of the prac-
ticalIy unbearable labor situation efforts
will be made in certain directions to de-
press business with the hope of bringing
labor leaders to realization of what labor
as a whole would suffer If business
throughout the country should have very
severe setback
While 1T is acknowledged that monetary
conditions, both here and abroad, are
gradually improving, most conservative
interests think that some time will he re-
CURED to put the money market in sound
shape. Borrowers in various lines Of
business still report difficulty in securing
loans. Apparently practically no money
Is now being loaned by the banks on
real estate except gilt-edged property in
the most desirable sections Of the largest
cities.
Spectators who have tried to make
money on the long side recently have
been disappointed. and they say also that
their operations on the short side have
not been particularly profitable. Many
traders, judging from their converse
ton, are much puzzled over the immedi-
ate future Of the market Conservative
operators say that in their opinion 1t is
useless to attempt to operate from day
to day. but they do not hesitate to recon-
mend the purchase outright of all the
standard dividend-paying stocks
The official statement made yesterday
that the number of New York Central
stockholders had practically doubled
since January 1 last has attracted con-
siderable attention. and it is learned that
ers in various other important railroad
and even Industrial corporations has been
surprisingly large. Even some railroads
on whose stocks no dividends are being
paid report substantial increase in the
number Of their shareholders since the
slump in the market began about the
first of the year.
