IRON TRADE CONDITIONS
DECLARED TO BE SOUND.
While Shortage of Ready Cash Causes
Some inconvenience, Production Goes
on at Record Breaking Pace.

OA az ANS~'
CLEVELAND. o., Nov. 1.-THE Iron
Trade Review In its issue today says:
"Overshadowing all other considerations
the financial situation has absorbed the
attention of men in every line of trade.
More important in the face of existing
conditions of credit liquidations and re-
~trenchment, are ways and means for Sc
curing present stability than any plans for
future extensions of business. The money
situation, while stringent to the point of
discomfort, is recognized sound and a
spirit Of cooperation and commentator
meets the measures that have been taken
to insure the preservation Of sane condi-
tions.
I'm spite Of the dullness Of the market
the production of finishing mills has con-
tinued at a mountaineering rate in num-
erous plants the production of the Illinois
worthy, while the output of the American
Bridge Company has made q new record,
being oz er 10000 tons, OF which only about
one-third was sold.
Signs of weakness In some finished
products. especially steel bars and plates,
have been accompanied by declarations
Of the determination of manufacturers not
to reduce prices, and 1t is probable that
very few concessions will be made on
these products. Bar iron is weak, but In
the Central West efforts are being made to
support the market, and with some sue
cess. Cast iron pipe is quoted at 81 per
ton lower. Some buyers of wire products
are asking for delay of deliveries, but
business is still very good.

ARE NOT TO STRIKE.
Eleven Companies and Employees Sign
Agreement to Refer Disputes
to Arbitration.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-THE dispute be-
tween the railway companies and their
employees has been settled and there
will be no strike. Eleven of the leading
companies and the representatives of
the Amalgamated Society Of Railway
Servants have signed an agreement
drafted by Mr.. Lloyd-G George, president
of the Board of Trade, providing for
the consideration of disputes by a board
of Cancellation composed equally of d.
rectors of the companies and employees,
with ar appeal to arbitration If the
trouble cannot be settled by the board.
The agreement is terminable by a years
notice at the end of six years.
The settlement, which is regarded as
establishing Mr.. Lloyd Georges repu-
tation for tact and diplomacy, involves
concessions by both sides.
The companies are able to claim that
they have not yielded to the demand for
recognition of the union, but at the
same time they bind themselves to COM
pulsory outside intervention in disputes
with their employees.
Both sides profsan satisfaction with
the result.

The fight for control of the manage
ment of the Lake Superior is between the
New YorS and Philadelphia directors.
New York directors object to the

idea OF busting Mr.. Warren.
Because Of the Injunction the meeting

Georgia Gets Buying Agencies Now in
Florida.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Nov. THE Amer

frmed the report that Jacksonville and
Pensacola will lose the naval stores bust
ness that comes to them as open mar
kets." All Of the buying that has been
done in those cities will be done at Savan-
nah, thus bringing about a restoration OF
conditions that obtained up to four or five
years ago, when buying agencies were es-
tablished at the two Florida cities.
The change was to have been immediate,
but owing to the low price of turpentine
and a desire to cause no further democrat
~ination, the American Naval Stores Com
pany today gave notice that turpentine
would be bought in the Florida cities up
TO December.

Sheriff Bell and Deputy Fuller went
at once to the Macarthur place and
searched for Hill, but the negro had
escaped. The search is still being kept
up and the officers will yet land this
bad Zulu with the ever ready gun.
There was no special provocation for
tina shooting as far as can be learned
except that Hill could not find any
handler target for his pistol.

guard, and thoroughly fumigated by
the state quarantine authorities so as
to destroy all lurking mosquitoes,
and towed out by the pilot boat into

under guard until the required six
days to determine if any other cases
result aboard. With the precautions
taken no danger of the spread of the
disease need be apprehended, said DR..

Six Known TO Have Lost life

Bristol, Va, March 18.-Advices
from. Tacoma, Va, are to the effect
that only six persons are positively
known to have lost their lives in the
explosion which wrecked the coal mine
of Bruce & Pond, near that place
Saturday. The dead are James and
Robert Snow, brothers, of Tacoma;
Cleveland and Boliver Noonchester,
brothers, of Big Stone Gap, and two
whose names have not been learned.
Owing to the mass of slate blocking
the entrance to one portion of the
mine that portion has not yet been
reached by the rescuers, and it is the
impression. at Tacoma that as many
as six other miners may be entombed.
