The Iron Market

The local furnace interests report a gradual improvement in the iron trade. Considerable tonnage has been booked here within the past few days. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati circular just received says:
 Without any unusual features the ton age for the week locally has footed up extremely well and among widely dis tributed number of buyers and grades. Basic, high silicon and southern foundry irons have been noted in the transactions. The business generally has been for the last half Current small tonnage for prompt shipment is in good demand and, while prices have not yet settled, there Is, somewhat more unanimity among the furnaces.
 There is an immense amount of struc- tural steel and railroad work pending and this is expected to increase now that spring has opened up. This will keep steel making irons stronger and help the entire situation. as was figured would be the case
 We remark no let-up In the melt and several classes of consumers have re- gently been increasing ther activity. There
 Is good inquiry for last half and this will continue in increasing volume. At present prices buyers would like to cover and it is the attitude of the producers which keeps the tonnage down, as they do not desire to load up too heavily at the present market for period so long ahead
 Furnace stocks in the east have slight
 y increased recently, but in the west the opposite is true and more than off, sets the addition made on eastern fur nace yards. Increased costs. beginning with second quarter, in raw materials will have to be met and the effect will be felt.
 "ColSe continues without animation and business done largely consisting of spot and early shipment. Some contracts have been taken for foundry coke for the last half and some effort On the part of buy CTS to cover fer year from April 1, but producers are unwilling to enter into fuel contracts at anything like present figures for year. The spring weather has had the effect of making movement more regular and manufacture more ccr- tain during the present month. There are one or two furnace contracts under cop- sideration locally and, while prices are very low, there is little interest shown in the coke situation by buyers"

 McGuinness wasn't very busy. Where's your ticket?' he asked.
 ''Huhi I ain't got the price," blurted out the big fellow. I'm 20 years old and I never seen a game in all my life"
 McGuinness is something of a fan himself. and the idea of a grown boy making such confession was too much for him.
 Go ahead" said he. allowing the lad to walk by the gate. He was still chuckling at the incl dent and taking tickets from belated patrons when he heard in a faltering, familiar voice.

He then told Mac his life history He lived in Durham Conn.,, on a farm, with folks who had taken him from the county home.

When Berger first arrived in Chicago he declared that Jeff would never "come back" that he was through" Today, how ever, he talks differently
 There is no good reason why Jef- fries should not try to wipe out his defeat" said Berger. My confident opinion is that he could whip John- son any day in the week. Jeffries was ali in when he went into that fight. He was nervous. mental wreck, but it isn't likely that it would ever happen again.
 T know that Jeff feels his defeat very keenly," declared Gleason, "and should not be surprised if his friends persuade him to again enter the ring. It might result in a diff ferent story"
