The end of the first chapter of

was rendered holding John Van
Asch responsible for the oeath

The full details of the murder

ctpt that the chain of evidence

fusal caused his plans to mi<car-
ry. La the meantime Van Asch
languishes in Jail where he will

The Iron Trade Review: Conditions
are somewhat more encouraging. The
market, while unable complete to with
stand the forces tending toward de-
preston, has yet been able to make an
orderly retreat. and there now seems
to be no prospect of Generalization In
any line. The recent experience In
1t was feared that as the market de-
clined to 140c Pittsburg, further re-
auctions would quickly follow, this has
not been true. In fact some interests
are now refusing TO quote below 1.45c.
while others will do 50 only in rare
instances.
The Iron Age says: Markets have
probably been quieter in the past
week Crop news has been favorable
and has helped sentiment. but it is evil
dent that something more stirring in
outside developments will be required
