FEELING
 IN IRON TRADE.
Much New Business Is Placed
 In Structural Material
INDEPENDENT ORE SALE
Quiet Prevails In Pig Iron With An Increasing Sentiment In Many Sections In Favor of Reduc-
 ing Foundry Production.

Cleveland, O.. March Special. )- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say better sentiment prevails in the trade and in some lines especially In structural material considerable new business, either actually placed or ex- pected at an early date, has developed. The recently announced prices are be- ing firmly maintained. Wage reduc- tions have been general in eastern Pennsylvania, but in some sections a disposition is manifested to await tarifr development.
 The expected cessation of operations in the anthracite regions has resulted in railroad and steel companies large ly increasing orders to the mines and immense quantities of coal will be stored. An independent ore interest not affiliated with those which usually act in harmony has sold 25o,OO0 tons in addition to the block of 5o, 900 tons announced some time ago. No other ore sales are reported and no action in regard to prices has been taken. An eastern steel company has offered to sell S0,0oO tons of its Cuban ore and large quantities of Swedish, Spanish and Russian ores are in the market.
 Extreme quiet prevails in pig iron in nearly all sections and there Is an increasing sentiment in favor of re- ducing productions. In the east and south prices are weak and lower quo tations have been made. On structural material persistent efforts to shade the new price of s1.30 Pittsburg, have failed and very large number of new projects are being figured on. The con tracts taken by the leading interests in the Chicago district amounted to S5,- GOO tons, including II 900 tons for the Toeelee valley shelter, which will be built by Oscar Daniels & Co.,, and 4eO0 tons for the Vendome building, Chica- go, to be built by the Hansell, Eleock company. Other important contract are as follows: By the American Bridge company. 6500 tons, for Pennsylvania track elevation in Philadelphia; 1000 tons for the Union League building. Philadelphia; 1000 tons for the Jordan & Marsh Co.,, Boston; 1000 tons for an extension of the Fidelity and Casualty company building, New York, and 23OO tons for the Schlegel building, New York. By the Hay Foundry and Iron works: Thirty-five hundred tons for the Merchants Exchange building, and 2OO0 tons for the Seaboard Realty company building, both of New York. About 15,00o tons will be required for the new Curtis building, Philadelphia.

Review by the Iron Aoe.

hCNiCW bJ lHC ITOT A9Gs
 New York; March 10.-The Iron Age will say:
 Announcements of wage reductions in the iron industry are becoming more nu- merous, and others are about to be made, It is evident this phase of the readjust- ment has only been fairly entered upon, and it may be expected that the process will be thorough, affecting every operation from the mining of the ore to the rolling of the finished product. The trade is fac ing the probability that the return of real prosperity may yet lead 1t over some rough ways.
 In the past week there has been a 10 per cent reduction in wages at a num- Der of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey furnaces. This was not decision of the Eastern Pig Iron association. as that organization does not deal with wage questions. There is unmistakably more activity in the iron and steel markets now that the trade has been able to get over it's bearishness in a measure.
 Structural lines show increased activity, but fabrieators would like better assur- ance as to new work that must take the place of the long pending business just booked. March opened with about 80, coo tons of live projects, 60,0O0 tons hav- ing been marked off In February as indef- lnllely postponed, While oO,OOO tons were closed in that month.
 The pig iron market is not being se- riously tested. but is shown to be weak by transactions for early delivery. Ship ments to foundries are being held up in many cases.
 Cincinnati reports good sale of southern iron to the leading pipe interest.
 After the buying squirt the copper mar ket has settled into dullness The stocks of marketable copper in the country were shown to have increased 29,00O,OO0 pounds in February.

 CT tell you, gentlemen, you must analyze this testimony. I want you to look at this map now and watch me as I point out to you the dilemma they have placed themselves in in order to get a verdict from you that will set them free'
 Plat of the Scene.
 General Garner placed the plat of the scene of the tragedy on the floor, put two books up to represent the poles and demonstrated that it would be a physical impossibility for Carmack to have shot Robin from between the poles. Of course, the defense does not admit that the poles were placed as Garner placed them, and as one of the poles has been cut down, there is a conflict on this point that never can be settled.
 q tell you gentlemen" Garner went on, Robin jumped behind that pole not to protect his father but to save him self Is there a man here who does
 
 evade answering my questions, and finally he put Carmack off the side walk. He tries to put him back again but fails and has to admit that he was mistaken.
 Colonel Cooper, when you ap- preached Carmack, stopped at an un- usual distance, raised your >hand in an unusual manner and saw the look of anxiety on Carmacks face. why did you not call out to him that you meant no harm?
 And you gentlemen, do you believe that Colonel Cooper, when he saw Car mack reach for that revolver failed to draw the gun he himself had pro- cured for that purpose? Do you be- lieve he waited to see whether Robin was killed or not before he drew the gun which he said he drew to Kill carmack if he killed my son..

BAKERS MAY SELL ANY SIZED
LOAF THEY DESIRE TO MAKE.
No Law In District of Columbia, Re-
garding Proportions of Bread In
That Locality.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 20
No law in the District of Columbia
can compel the bakers to make a loaf
of bread weighing between 16 and is
ounces, as prescribed by an old law,
which the municipal government had
sought to enforce Either loaf weigh
ing three ounces or one weighing 20
pounds may be made and sold for five
cents. if the bakers so desire.
The district court of appeals so held
in deciding the case of the District
against George Hauf, who allowed
himself to be made defendant in a test
case last July.
When the test case was brought
into Police court last summer, Judge
Kimball declared that such a regula-
ton, prescribing the weight of loaf,
was in violation Of a mans right to
contract for the manufacture of indi-
vidual loaves. and refused to allow the
prosecution.
The court of appeals, however, re-
viewed it upon the ground that before
the incorporation of the District of
Columbia in 1871 the city was made
up of three corporations-Was hington,
Georgetown and Levy Court-each
having different regulations in regard
to the making of bread. This being
true, the incorporation of all three into
the District of Columbia did not make
any of the bread laws operative.

of temperament, and a certain serenity
