IRON SITUATION STILL IMPROVES Demand for Finished Products
 Continues Active WAGES WILL NOT SUFFER Buying of Iron Ore Is Moderate and Ore Interests Feel That They.
 Can Maintain Prices-Struc-
 turaI Prices Are Flrmer.
WAGES WILL NOT SUFFER

Cleveland. O., May Especial J. The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: The demand for finished products continues active, and pig iron is hold ing its own fairly well. There Is not, however, such a rush of orders for any kind of material as to justify rapid advances in prices.
 A most gratifying feature of the re- cent improvements Is the decision of some of the large interests which re- gently reduced wages to reconsider action and restore the old schedules. It Is now regarded as practically cer- tain that the United States Steel corpor- ation will not reduce the wages of any of its 100000 employees. Buying of iron ore at the recently reaffirmed prices has continued in a moderate way. The ore interests feel confident that they will be able to maintain the prices which were not fixed until an unusually late date. The Lake Carriers asso- citation is making progress in breaking the strike on the lakes, and 1t Is ex- pected that by the end of the present week half of the vessel capacity of the association will be in commission.
 Heavy buying of basic pig iron, es- pecially in the east where about 7b,0O0 tons were contracted for, has been a prominent feature of the market. The leading malleable interest has also been heavy buyer, and the leading pump interests, which recently pur- chased has sent out new inquiry. Prices are somewhat flrmer.
 In structural materials prices are firmer, although some concessions are still being made in the eastern terri tory. It Is estimated that contracts for May will amount to about 100000 tons. Contracts during the past week include 14,0O0 tons at Chicago, of which 10 900 was awarded by the Missouri and Western Pacific to the McClintic Marshall Construction company. This company also obtained the contract for the Philadelphia and Reading track elevation work, 16,000 tons, and the order for the steel will probably be awarded to independent interests. Or ] ders for about 15,O00 tons of rails have been placed within a few days, and il j is expected that there will soon be or 1 ders for at least 10000 tons additional
 while 15.O00 tons are pending in the Chicago district.

ENTERS HIS PLEA
 FOR THE JURORS
uRoUHART SAYS SUITABLE PRO- VISION SHOULD CERTAINLY BE MADE FOR THEM IN DESIGNING THE NEW COURTHOUSE.

.-There is one feature of the need for a new courthouse building that l have not seen mentioned" said W. E. Urquhart yesterday. "and that is for the benefit of the jurymen.
 These men have to give up their business occupation and spend days in the most awful circumstances, being fed at cheap place, sleeping in bad quar- ters and being mistreated on every side.
 ''The plans for the new building should certainly include a spacious dormitory for the jurors, with plenty of airy rooms for sleeping, with lunch room, and com fortably furnished lounging room.
 These fellows who are taken away from an active, everyday life 10 sit by the hour on a rough chair, need exer- else. The question of putting in a gym nasium for their benefit should be care fully considered by the board.
 Then. l suppose the plans will provide for a suitable roof garden on top for the benefit of the prisoners who are suf- fering from tuberculosis This might also be open to the jurors at night
 Tn my estimation, there is class Of men who will be so much benefited by the new building as the jurors"

 'I could not but feel this afternoon as I sat and listened to the truthful and un- exaggerated statements of Virginia hero ism, of Virginia sentiment, of Virginia ability, made by President Alderman of the University of Virginia, that Virginia had a right to the feeling of pride in her past and had right to the strength of sentiment that unites Virginians wher- ever they are and l could not but feel rejoiced because I believe that I speak the truth when I say that as we look for ward We can count on that Virginia sen- timent, that Virginia heroism, that Vir- ginia patriotism as being directed in the common flow of patriotism in support of the grand old starry flag that we all so much love.
