IMPROVED TONE IN
THE IRON MARKET
Railroad Orders Are Much Bet
ter Than Anticipated
INQUIRIES ARE GROWING
Structural Contracts for the Week
Amount to About 10000 Tons,
Much of Which Goes to In
dependent Interests

Cleveland, o., May ESPECIAL. 1.-The
Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
A shade of improvement is noticeable
in the market, due to the placing of the
orders by the Hartman lines for II, 400
cars and to some other favorable Hevelop-
ments, but actual buying of pig iron and
finished products has not increased to
any considerable extent 1t is noteworthy,
however, that business at the present
time is about equal to that of the pros
perious year, 1906 The idle mill capacity
is very nearly represented by the new
construction since that year.
The. pig iron market has a better tone
in the east and inquiries covering from
10000 to 1900 tons are pending. Cast
iron pipe interests have purchased about
1900 tons of gray forge in eastern mar
kets. In the Pittsburg districts inquiries
for 1900 tons of basic are pending. The
Cambria Steel company has purchased
100000 tons OF ferro manganese.
In addition to the Hartman orders for
freight cars, the principal orders placed
by the railroads were for motive power,
including 81 locomotives for the Hawley
lines, which are expected to order 5000
freight cars at a not far distant date.
The McClintick Marshal Construction
company has taken a contract for $500
tons for the Big Four shop at Beech
Grove, Ind, and 1900 tons for a bridge

Structural contracts awarded during the

large percentage of which went to indie
pendent interests. Contracts awarded in
clude the Karpen building, Chicago; 500
tons to the South Halstead Iron Works,
for which Lackawanna shapes will be
used the Bender building, Houston, Tex;

to be certain that Gadsden will land an

Seattle and King County Poultry Show

This show was, without exception,
the best ever given in Seattle. The
show room, whole floor of the new
Sanitary Market Building on First
Avenue, was very large and we'll light
ed and was plentifully decorated with
flags and bunting and in ema1kably
good taste as we'll. The only ron-pay
ing feature of the whole thing was
the cat show which was included in it.
The cats were taken in with the ex-
pectation that they would materially
increase the amount of the gate re
ceipts but this proved to be mistak-
en- idea and it is quite Gel tain that
they did not draw enough money to
pay the expenses they added to the
show.
Judge Goodacre of Los Angeles,
Calf, proved to be very pleasant
gentleman, extremely conscientious
in his work. He was strict in his
rulings and showed neither fear nor
favor, but it cannot be said of him
that he is equally good at judging all
classes.
long step forward was made at
this show by abolishing the foolish
practise of judging the birds Gin the
dark' that is, keeping the owners
name off the coop tags, to the great
inconvenience of all concerned and
the serious disappointment OF visitors
for fear lest the judge should do some
funny work. At Seattle this time the
name was written boldly on every coop
and vet, so far as could be seen the
Judge made no effort to get in any
funny work.
for one am mighty glad that some
sensible ideas are percolating into
the poultry associations.
A breeder and seller of poultry my
self, am quite sure that l am fully
as honest as the average horse trader
and | can't for the life of me see why
poultry Judge should not be as square
as the horse judge who does all his
work with full knowledge of the own
ership of the animal he is handling.
While on the subject of judging I'd
like to say that fail to see any good
sense displayed in sending away for
judges when we have man as capable
as Harry Collier right here at home,
