Except for moderate reduction on
prices Of wire products no new feature
has developed in iron and steel, the
situation generally rejecting the dull
ness customary at this season. In fin
ished lines, structural material makes
the best showing, most mills having
sufficient orders on hand to keep them
occupied for some time to come, while
several important contracts will be
opened in the near future. inquiries
are more numerous for pig iron, but
sales are not heavy. Prices of steel
are weaker and open hearth billets
have declined to $265O, while Bessem
er billets are quoted nominally $25
Sheet bars command 81 above billets
The temporary suspension of iron bal
making tended to strengthen the mar
ket for these slightly, and quotations
are firm at $1.45. Orders on hand for
steel bars are sufficient for three
months operations and specifications
are heavy.

works of the Zeppelin Airship
Company were demolished by an
explosion. Seven persons we're in

The managers of the plant were not
present at the time, and the cause of
the accident has not been ascertained.
Shortly before noon the gasometer

great distance.
Several cottages fell in ruins at the
shock, while other buildings lost their

in the district and even among those

sparsely populated and chiefly by

TO FOUND FIFTY TEST BANKS
Washington to Have One of First Pos.
tai Institutions.

Washington, D. c. - This city will
have one of the first fifty experimental
postal savings banks to be established
under the postal savings bank bill.
The committee of government Off
Gals believes that one of the banks
should be directly under the eye of the
postmaster general so that the com.
mittee may keep in constant touch
with it's operations.
According to the estimates of the
committee each postoffice in the coun-
try will have to keep an average of
two ledgers, which will necessitate the
keeping of from $4,000 to 100000 led
gers, and the employment of about
1000 bookkeepers.

RAILWAY RUNS DESPITE STRIKE.
Management Declares Arbitration Per.
iod Has Passed.

Montreal, Can. - The attempts OF
Mackenzie King, minister of labor, to
effect a settlement of the Grand Trunk
strike, have fallen through, at least for
the present, the Grand Trunk manage
ment taking the view that the time for
arbitration has passed.
Coupled with this announcement Of
the company that the time has passed
for arbitration, comes the statement
that the shops of the entire system
will be reopened at once and that in
structions will be issued to agents to
once more take freight, and that way
freights will be put on, and the mani
fest freight service increased.
In addition, it is announced by the
officials that some of the former en-
ployes who went out on Monday last
are reporting for work.
The answer of Vice President MUIR
dock to this is:
eve are perfectly satisfied with ths
way things are going and if it is to be
a fight to finish, do not know that
I could suggest an improvement on
existing conditions from our point of
view"
Despite Mr.. Murdock's assurance,
misgivings are beginning to develop
among the men, who see the positions
they once held threatened by the prog
ress the railroad is making. This was
shown at the meeting of the men and
the suggestion was plainly made to
the leaders that action was necessary
in order to hold the strikers together.
