GENUINE RETURN
 OF PROSPERITY
Reports Of The Iron Trade Are
 Very Optimistic
RECOVERY IS VERY RAPID
Independent Iron Industries Are Doing Good Business and Orders Booked Are Far Ahead of Recent
 History.

| Cleveland, O., June 9.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Just one year ago the price main tenance policy which had been ad- hered to since the panic of October, 1907, was abandoned and price reduc- tions of from $2 to s4 per ton on near ly all finished products were announced. The expectation that business would soon revive was not realized, and not until prices had declined from $S to s10 following the declara tion of the open market last February did buying re- ally become active.
 In the past three months the recov- cry had been rapid and the prospects are most encouraging.
 The past week has added new evil dences of the return of genuine pros- perity.
 One of the most significant features at present Is the insistence of many buyers especially the railroads, on prompt delivery.
 One of the largest independent in- terests reports that 1t now has more orders on it's books than ever before in it's history.
 May bookings of merchant pipe by the leading interests and many of the Independents made new high record.
 One of the important developments IS the placing of orders for new ocean vessels which will require about 4o.- GOO tons of plates and other vessels for ocean and lake service are being fig ured on
 Pig iron production in May amounted to 1.866.757 tones, and the average daily production surpassed that of any month since october, 1907.
 The increase for May over April was 133,105 tons Sales of pig iron do not include any very important transac- tions.
 Owing to the rapid increase of or ders for -.-.4shed materials several in- dependent interests are having difficult ty in obtaining supplies of crude steel and there is some exchange of billets among the companies.
 Although some very low prices are still being made on fabricating prices of structural shapes are firm at 1.30 cents Plttsburg, and several interests are asking 1.35 cents.
 Increased buying of steel rails have been a prominent feature of the mar ket.
 The Hartman lines awarded 150 900 tons to be delivered at the rate of 1s, 900 tons per month.

PAWNBROKERS ARE
 HELD AT ANNISTON
ARE CHARGED WITH BEING Ac- cESSORY WITH A. p. CHURCH IN ALLEGED THEFT OF JEWELS AND WATCHES.

Anniston June 9.-(Special) )-Both Joe and Louie Yalovitz, West Tenth street pawnbrokers were arrested Tuesday aft ernoon for alleged connection with the all legged thefts of A. P. Church from the jewelry store of R. stelle & Son. The pawnbrokers were accused of aiding in the thefts and of concealing the stolen Jewelry. They were released under bonds of s750 each, and, along with Church, who was caught in Atlanta, will be tried as accessories to the crimes to which Church, 1t is said, has made frank confession.
 Joe and Louie Yalovitz have been deeply implicated, 1t is said. in the theft of s1o0 worth of jewels and watches from the Steele store by the alleged confession of Church. who has said that they knew of his crimes and were accessories to them. Church made this statement 1t is said, when the thefts were first detected, and went with MT. Steele to the pawnshop to recover the goods carried there from Steeles place. full S10O worth of valu- ables were recovered from the pawnshop. on which $16 had been advanced by the brokers.
 But the valuables recovered from Yalo- vitz represent less than one-third of the entire amount said to have been carried away by Church. The fact is he seems to have conducted a very bold and inds- criminate robbery, strewing Steele's jewels over considerable. territory. It may never be known really how much was taken. There has been recovered $500 at various places, but it is known already that quite a lot was taken that has not been recovered.
 Church was trusted in the store with perfect confidence, and had ample oppor- tunity to carry on his alleged peculations
 Sheriff Legrand has received the requisi- ton papers for bringing Church back from Atlanta for trial and has gone to that city today for him.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bilou.

Patrons of the Bijou who do not see Miss Spooner and her company in "Du Barry this week are missing some very creditable performances of a play that is well worth while. Miss Spooner is quite capable of taking the leading role in way to make it remembered, and she Is given excellent support by Mir. La Rue as the King of France. Other mem- bers of the company fill in acceptably and the piece is well staged, both as regards scenery and costumes. The version of ''Du Barry used by Miss spooner is somewhat different from that used by Mrs. Carter and makes "Du Barry" a more attractive figure. There will be a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight
