Hemans to the effect that Governor
Warner was actively supported by the
liquor interests Of the state for the rea
son that the liquor dealers association,
through circular letters, represented to
its members that Warner was all
right for the saloons" is likely to have
more than passing effect upon the
question Of liquor regulation in this
state.
Heman' s statement was doubted at

the thing don't seem to go down very
well on the palats of lots Of the Gov

I The Iron Trade Review SAYS
Buying OF steel cars in :. goodly
numbers for various railroad interests

soon be an important feature .of the

ever. that important developmentsfcan
not be expected during the present
month, possibly not until spring, al
though reasonable increase n busi-
ness is anticipated. The steel corpora

The Iron Age says The markets
have quieted down considerably. In
the case OF pig iron this is due 10 the
fact that nelters have bought the ma
jority OF them in conservative man
ner, as to quantity for delivery over
the first quarter, and partly into the
second quarter. The furnace interests
advanced prices until now buyers being
