IRON AGE REVIEW.
Emphasis Is Placed On Large Orders
 of Steel Rails.

New York, February 26.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 Rail business nas come out in an en- couraging way In the past week. The Great Northern has placed orders for 45,000 tons with three manufacturers, a minor portion of which are to be open hearth rails. The Atlantic Coast has ordered 5000 tons. and the Ontario and Western has bought 6l00 tons Generally speaking. makers of finished lines give a better account of themselves this week. The steel trade suffered more acutely than the pig iron trade in the October collapse, and now the conditions as to relieve activity are reversed. The largest manufactory from operating only 28 per cent of the rolling capacity just following the panic, has now come up 15' per cent It's officers have reckoned on practically a 50 per cent average in the first half of the year and an advance in the second half to, say, 75 per cent. While few of per cent, there has been an increase in working forces at a number of mills in the past week.
 The lighter finished lines will lead in activity, but in structural material Feb ruary makes better showing than Jan uary. The current bookings of fabricat- ing plants present from 25 to 30 per cent of capacity Reports of lower prices on steel billets in the Pittsburg district seem to be based on recent conversion arrange ments made possible by the new consid- erable spread between Bessemer pig iron and the usual market prices for steel. Manufacturers of forgings are meeting in New York this week and steps may be taken to check the demoralization which has appeared in that market lately.
 The foundry pig iron trade is practically at a standstill What further tonnage the pipe makers have picked up has been largely cheap southern iron, reports Of cutting in that section still coming out. The copper market has. been more active this week and lower prices, 12k cents having been reached in buying for both domestic and foreign account.

BETTER BUSINESS IN IRON AND STEEL Big Orders For Steel Rails Help
 the Situation IRON PRICES WILL STAND Producers of Southern Iron Will Stick To s1s.5o Basis, While Tendency
 Is General To Uphold and
 Not Cut Prices.
IRON PRICES WILL STAND

Cleveland, O., February 2s.-(special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Ihe most encouraging feature of the week was the placing of orders for steel rails. Many other inquiries are pending. 1he principal orders were for 45,OO0 tons rom the Great Northern railway. of which 2o,0O0 tons go the United States steel corporation, 10000 tons to the Penn syivania Steel company and 15,OOO tons to the Lackawanna Steel company; the New York, Ontario and Western railway 6lo0 tons to the Lackawanna Steel company: Atlantic Coast Line 5000 tons to the Penn sylvania Steel company.
 An apparently sincere desire to adhere to prices announced last week for sales of pig iron in the central west is being manifested, but it is generally recognized that the ability to maintain prices will not be tested until the market shows a decided increase in inquiries. The prin- cipal inquiries pending are for basic, in the St. Louis district
 Some of the larger producers of south ern iron who have been adhering to s13.5o Birmingham, for No. 2. but taking few orders, are clearly indicating a purpose to name prices more nearly approaching those of smaller producers. While iron has been sold at s1225 Birmingham, within few days, s125O is regarded as the usual inside price. At meeting of eastern pig iron producers held in Phila- delphia 1t was developed that the orders on hand show practically no change from the January reports. There was a general expression of opinion in favor of main taining prices.

Sinai sounding in his ears, Jesus to his

The true Christian is the man who
does not need the Legislature to tel
hin what to do nor policemen TO keep
him from SHINING.
Speaking of graft and rottenness. the
bishop asked his audience to remember
that graft has been always with US ami
that it has never kept pace with our
great increase OF population.
Bishop Goodsell then drew two pow
erful lessons from personal experiences:
One, Gods call to all the hearv-iaden;
the other. Gods instant response to
calls for help.
Closing, he quoted figures to show the
growth OF tho Methodist Episcopa'
