MUCH STEEL is WANTED.
Railroad Steel Mills Finding Many
Orders

New York, Dec. 16.-RaiIroad bust
ness for the steel mills seems richer
in promise, but not in fu1hllment, and
the general impression in the trade
is that no radical change can be reas-
onably expected for several months.
The Louisville & Nashville has placed
orders for steel underframes for 500
hopper cars and 500 gondolas, calling
for 2,400 tons of steel. Other steel
underframe inquiries are still pend
ing, including the Norfolk & Western,
Chesapeake & Ohio and Southern rail-
way, which eventually will call for
about $4,000 tons in the aggregate. rs
already noted, the Buffalo, Rochester
& Pittsburg is on the point of asking
for bids for $500 to 1000 freight cars
and twenty passenger cars. The Great
Northern is taking bids on 975
freight cars. The Kanawha & Michi-

OWNERS ABANDON
 BELLE OF BENDS
Stranded Steamer Believed to Be Doomed When River Rises
 Again.

Vicksburg, Miss, Feb. 24.-What is to become of the steamer Belle of the Bends, the big wheel boat, which is aground at Fitler's bar high and dry? This question arises since the notice of abandonment was given by her owners yesterday to Capt Dana Scott of Cincinnati representing Geo. w. Neare & Co.,, insurance underwrit- CTS, who has been here the past ten days Capt Scott believes that the chances are that the vessel can be saved when the water rises. Her owners, on the other hand, have lit tie confidence in this belief, and it was learned from reliable authority that Capt Gus Nimtz, the veteran cap- tain of the boat, and part owner, has expressed the belief that the boat will never be successfully raised.
 The Belle is insured for something over $11,000. She is said to be in good general condition, but lying as she is, with her stern bending down, the indications are that when the water rises the sand that has been thrown about the vessel to protect it will probably be washed out, and should the river fall again before the boat is floated, steamboatmen believe the Belle will become a wreck. Capt. Scott. on the other hand, is very op- timistic. and believes the vessel can be raised, and put in good condition for 5000 or $6,000 He was not ready to accept the notice of aban- donment of the boat, as he did not believe under the insurance contract, his company would have to do so, un- til the boat is in much worse fix than she now is in.
 The Belle of the Bends has been one of the best known steamers in local waters for the past fifteen years. She was built for the Vicksburg and Greenville Packet company, and op- erated under that management until the time she was leased to Tom Nor rissey. who had run her in the same trade. .e

EUROPEAN EGGS ARRIVE.
About 10000 Dozen Have Come. Each
Egg Coated With Paraffin.

New York Sun.-For the first time
in FIVE years European eggs are now
being imported into this country The
foreign eggs began to arrive several
days ago and are still coming. They
are all shipped by brokers from Hull
England, but we're GATH cred originally
from Auetria, France and Germany.
Up to yesterday the total receipts
of the foreign eggs amounted to 600
cases, holding upward OF $4,000 dozen.
All the foreign eggs are coated on
the outside of the shell with secret
compound of paraffin to preserve
them The coating is almost trans
parent, but it is so noticeable that
foreign eggs may be readily distin-
guished by its presence from the do
nestle. The coating is not removed,
so that the public in buying the eggs
in the grocery stores will know if it Is
getting foreign or domestic products.
Arrangements for the movement OF
European eggs to New York were be
gun several weeks ago, when the
fresh-gathered eggs were bringing so
cents dozen at wholesale in this city,
and even storage eggs were up to 2S
or % cents, Since then prices have
been steadily declining, and yester-
day the finest fresh-gathered eggs
were quoted at rs to 2s15 cents at
wholesale. while the first grade ct
eggs in warehouses could be bought
at % and23 cents.
The foreign eggs are sold at whole
sale for from % to "a cents. The
duty on the foreign eggs is five cents
a dozen and the shipping charges
about four cents a dozen. The deal
lers say that the London and other
European markets are flooded with
eggs and the extremely low prices
abroad enable the shippers to pay the
nine cents for duty and freight and
make profit in New York, even at the
prices now prevailing here.
Dealers who are handling the Eu-
rapean eggs say that the foreign pre-
serving process maintains a fresner
favor than is obtained by the Ameri-
can plan of keeping the eggs on ice.

CLOTH MADE FROM
BARK OF SPRUCE
FRENcHmAN DISCOVERS SUB
sTiTuTE FOR COTTON STRONG
AND CHEAP.

If scientific experimenters in tex
tile filters know what they are talk
ing about, the millions of cords OF
spruce wood that are now ground in
to pulp for paper making may be
manufactured into cotton cloth-and
better ctton cloth than can be made
from the product Of the fields of Dixie
Egypt and India. In a few years we
may be wearing clothing made from
trees that are now decorating the
landscape along the east and west
branches of the Allegash. and instead
of more pulp mills this state and
other spruee-producing regions viii
be dotted with spruce-cotton mills,
says Boston correspondent
AT a session of the National Associ-
alton of Cotton Manufacturers James
Hope Of Ruen, France, told about a
new process of making a substitute
for cotton from spruce pulp. He
showed samples of the spruce substi-
tute for cotton in yard and piece
goods, woven from the yarn in the
plain cotton form and with worsteG
combination.
the process is the work Of a
French inventor. Mr. Hope said that
arrangements are being made to have
iC manufactured extensively in Eng
land, where there is demand for
substitute for cotton for certain pur-
poses to make the British less de-
pendent upon the United States for
cotton. Plans are also going forward
for making the substitute in ather
parts Of Europe. and it may become
one Of the great Industries IN the
spruce forests of Canada and Russia.
In regard to its adaptability Mr..
Hope said: 1T takes on dyes, bleach
ing and finishing more brilliantly
than the cotton fiber 1t will resist
boiling water or caustic potash solu-
ton for some minutes without
change. and its combustion is Ger
tainly no more rapid than that of cot
ton. The cost of its manufacture is
much lower than the mar ket price of
cotton. The fiber can be made Of anv
length. The strength of the yarn ap-
parently exceeds that of cotton.
