Iron Aqe Review.

New York, November 1S-The Iron Age Review will say tomorrow:
 One of the features of interest has been the heavy buying by steel workers in Pennsylvania of basic pig iron. The pur- ehases aggregate about s0000 tons and were made on the basis of $16 delivered for the first quarter and $16.25 for what little iron was bought for the second quarter. Some basic iron has also been taken in the St. Louis district and large inquiry, including one for 10000 tons are under negotiation The leading distribut- ing markets along the lakes, at Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago, report large sales of foundry and malleable irons, and now have generally put up their prices for delivery during the first and second quar- ter, but the new schedules have not yet been seriously tested. Indeed, the im- pression Is spreading among buyers that the rise has been somewhat too rapid. Practically all the principal melters, large and small, have been covering at least minimum requirements and many who entered the market before the election have made further purchases since then.
 The movement in finshd iron and steel is somewhat better in some lines but on the whole the buying is developing slow ly In the semi-hnished lines, the interest is increasing.
 In the rail trade no transactions of any magnitude are reported, but some large business is pending and is expected to shape up soon. There is a good deal of structural work in sight. Thus, in the Chicago territory, there bids out which call for 770OO tons of material, while there are plans under consideration which, conservatively estimated, involve 100000 tons.
 The Snyder interest of Pittsburg has just been awarded the contract for the largest ore boat yet planned. Another interest has ordered two packet freight CTS of a lake yard
 Southern cast iron pipe makers have ad- vanced their asking prices $1 and g per ton.
 The copper market has quieted down considerably and prices have receded Electrolytic copper is now selling at s14. 25

TULANE DEFEATS
 TEXAS UNIVERSITY

Austin, Tex, November lS.-Tulane 2S Texas 15 The Louisanians came saw and conquered the Texans on Clarke field this afternoon in a game replete with interest. not because it was brilliantly played, but because the result was in doubt up to the very last. At the end of the first half two touchdowns by Tulane and touchdown and field goal by Texas made the score Il to 10 in favor of the former. In the second half Tulane bucked down the field for a touchdown; Texas soon did the same, both being assisted by well-worked forward passes.
 An on-side kick by Texas was caught by George of Tulane and he soon had gained the needed 40 yards to touch- down. still Texas did not lose heart and still entertained some hope of getting the needed nine points to win, when Dreyfus broke up forward pass and with hastily formed interference was down the field for 80 yards to touchdown.

DEEP WATER WAYS
 RESOLUTIONS

Baltimore, November 1S.-The Deeper Waterways association, at ltoday's session, decided to hold it's next annual convention in Norfolk, Va. in November, 1909.

 The purchase of the present Chesapeake and Delaware canal and the construction of a new one.
 Deepening the Hudson river to the point where it connects by canal with the lakes.
 Selecting route through Massachu- setts from Narragansett bay to Boston
 Deepening the present waterways from the North Carolina sounds to Norfolk.

COMPLETE DISPLAY
 OF WAR RELICS
DR. THOMAS M. OWEN IS SAID TO BE ASSEMBLING THE BEST IN THE CoUNTRY-LIBERAL APPRo
 RELATIONS HELP IN THE WORK.

Montgomery. November 1S.-(specia1)- What is no doubt the best and most complete display of pictures and relics Of the southern Confederacy in existence is being arranged by Dr. Thomas M. Owen director of the Alabama department of archives and history, in the large display halls of the capitol building. This has been made possible by the liberal ap- propriations of the legislature for this part of the states activities. Dr. Owen has installed modern system of display cases that give the most complete view of the things being shown
 Probably the most interesting of tue dis plays is that of Confederate flags which are shown in q large mahogany case with glass sides, draped and folded so as to bring out the name and the number of the organization from which each one came There are 36 of these flags, rep resenting brigades, regiments and com panies in the service of the Confectionery from Alabama. Included in the list are d number that are national in fame, some of which were brought from the re- motest sections of the nation Dr. Owen has made special effort to gather up these flags
 Another fine showing is that of pre- historic and Indian relics, the colec- ton being regarded as among the really notable ones of the country even. still another case has guns. pistols, knives and other weapons. in addition to such things as canes once carried by governors and personal belongings of famous men. On large frames are pictures of wide interest, but too small to hang high upon the walls. These show up the larger features of the opening days of the Con- federaey, and have portraits of Lee and Davis, money of the Lost Cause and a number of small pictures of interest.
 It Is a matter of interest that Alabama has what is taken to be the best plan in existence for the keeping of the history and archives of a state. Dr. Owen has made a lifelong study of it and has been able to work out a system that experts the world over have commended He is now able to give information on every conceiveable side of the history of the state and to answer questions of even the most incidental nature about the affairs of the state in the recent past as well as far past. He will be very glad to give any information wanted at any time.

COMPRESSED AIR REDUCES COST
 OPERATING MACHINERY 80 PER CENT

Birmingham, Ala, November IS, 1908 National Compressed Air Power Company Gentlemen: In answer to your re- quest for an opinion from me in regard to the practicability and economy of your device, will say that I think you are somewhat premature in expecting an intelligent expression in reference to it from me, and in ordinary cases l would refuse to submit any statement concern ing it. Nevertheless, l believe that all three of your methods will work. Your first and simpler method will require an actual test to determine it's value, but as l have stated to your Mir Busby. cannot see why his second or third meth ods which are only an addition to his first, should not prove an entire sue cess in the production of cheap power l have no hesitation in saying that if the machine is properly constrhcted on the lines mentioned by him, I claim it will reduce the cost of running ma cliinery 60 per cent. An opinion from me as to its commercial value would be worthless as l am simply mechanic Respectfully yours

PIG IRON MARKET
 SHOWS ACTIVITY Tendency Is Toward Advances
 In Nest Sections FINISHED LINES IMPROVE Bar Iron Manufacturers In the West Have Raised the Price s2 Per Ton.
 Big Orders Are Placed
 For Cars.
FINISHED LINES IMPROVE

Cleveland O.. November 1S.-(S Spe oial.) )-The Iron Trade Review tomor
 row will say. Activity in the pig iron market has continued throughout the country with large sales reported and d tendency toward high quotations and sharp advances in some sections. Many furnace interests are not disposed to contract beyond the first quarter of next year
 In finished lines there is improve ment, although new business is not nearly so heavy as in the case of pig iron. Pig iron purchases include 1S, 500 tons from the American Locomotive company. Two lots of 5000 tons each at Philadelphia and 10000 tons of low phosphorous sold to New Jersey smelt- CTS. about 10000 tons of foundry sold to an electric interest and scatterings also which amount to a large tonnage. Prices on southern iron are firm and show little change, while in some cases. particularly in Ohio. sharp advances have been made.
 Some buying of foundry grades has undoubtedly been done on account of the strong exhibition of increased bus mess rather than to cover contracts for castings actually in hand. Inquiry for some 40, GOO tons of basic is pend ing in the central west, and in the east several blocks of 5000 to 15,OOo tons have been sold. The demand for ferro manganese is very strong.
 Owing to the prices of old material bar iron manufacturers in the central west have advanced the price $2 ton. The quotations are now s3O Pittsburg for local delivery and $2S.4O for west ern shipped. Many railroads are pre- pairing to place orders for steel rails but the controversy as to specifica tions has not yet been settled and the Pennsylvania is still insisting on the specifications which the mills declined to accept. Recent orders for cars in- clude 1500 steel freight cars for the Virginia road, 1000 all steel ore cars for the Chicago and North Western and 150 street railway cars for the cities of Chicago and Seattle.
