ALASKAN COAL
WOULD BE USEFUL

Washington, May 29.-Admiral George
Dewey, president of the general board,
United States navy, has forwarded a re-
pert to the Secretary of the Navy as to
the possibility of procuring, and the econ
on1y of using, Alaskan coal in the United
States navy. The report is in the form
of answers to questions concerning the
matter.
In answer to the question as to whether
the Alaska coal would. in case of war
with Japan, be of use to the government
Tor the Atlantic fleet, the report states
that should this Alaskan coal be of the
grade required by the navy, the cost OF
mining and transportation not greatly ex-
ceeding that of coal in the eastern states,
and 1t be laid down in an accessible and
safe Alaskan harbor with proper facli-
ties and in quantities necessary for the
feet, it would be of advantage to the
government"
Other interesting figures and data are
given. The West Virginia fields supply
the greater part of the coal used on the
Pacific the rest being imported from Aus
traia.

FREE PURCHASES
In IRON MARKET

New York, May 2s.-Eastern consumers
of foundry iron last week purchased
freely of both northern and southern pig
metal it being estimated that contracts
were placed for about $1,000 tons, or a
total of $4,000 tons in the last two weeks.
Pine works purchased the heaviest ton
nages. but nearly all large consumers
were represented in the buying. Con-
tracts are still pending in the east for
about 10000 tons A large volume of
business was also placed in the south
west. The total contracts in all dis
tricts in the last two weeks have agge-
gated in excess of 25o,o0o tons. Although
the buying has been heavy, competition
for business has been so keen that prices
have receded slightly.
No. northern iron has sold in New
England districts at 725 to $3.50 deliv-
cred. Eastern Pennsylvania producers
have accepted $3.50 to SIS, Virginia $14
or less and Alabama makers 81 so at the
furnaces for various shipments extending
over the remainder of the year.
Many small orders for structural and
fabricated steel were placed last week
and several important contracts were
closed in the west in the last day or two
The vandala railroad and Pennsylvania
lines west placed some bridge orders,
but most of the railroad work pending
will go into another month. The steel
contracts for buildings placed in May
aggregated nearly 10000 tons. only 80 per
cent of which went to the American
bridge company. Railroad equipment ord
ers last week were light. May contracts
included 5000 cars. go locomotives and
Q5 600 tons rails.
