Iron Age Report

New York August 23.-(Special. )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The steel mills are scarcely holding ~ their positions, production and shipments being in excess of new orders. Prices show continued irregularity, with com petition more pronounced as the possi- bility of return of free contract buying grows more remote.
 The Pittsburg district is still leading in the percentage of capacity employed. but there as elsewhere each weeks operations are determined by what the week brings forth. so that prophecy as to the duration of the present high tide in specifications is of little value.
 Steel bars are reported to be under more pressure in the Chicago district, and iron bars are weaker there. Plates. sheets, tin plates and wire products are named in Pittsburg reports as showing closer competition.
 The demand for rails Is spasmodic The \ Ensley mill has little open space for the Rext four months. This week it reports contract of 22,050 tons with the South ern railway.
 In the structural trade developnents have been favorable.
 Expectations of a good fall trade are general in the wire trade but meantime operations are light. the iobbing trade keeping it's stocks at a minimum.
 The pig iron market reflects plainly the prevailing uncertainty about future de- mand.
 Some inquiry is up, but buyers are not convinced that the higher prices now asked for next year can be held.

PLANS FOR OPENING
 OF MASONIC HOME

Montgomery. August 23.-(Special)- Plans for the opening of the Masonic home, which is about to be completed in this city, have been practically arr fanged by the building committee of the grand lodge, in session in this city to- day All the concrete work has been finished, and the contractor and archf- tect have now turned their attention to tue interior decorations of the handsome structure.
 At the session of the committee an- nouncement was made that requests had been received from individual lodges of the state asking that they be allowed to donate the fixtures in some of the rooms.

PRICES CUT IN
 IRON AND STEEL Favorable Prospects For
 Fall Trade NEW ORDERS SCARCE Mills Losing Position As Production and Shipments Seem In Excess
 of Orders-Ensley Gets
 Southern Contract
NEW ORDERS SCARCE

Cleveland. O.. August 23.-tspecial) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Price cutting on finished amterlai es- peciany in eastern territory has at tracted more attention during the past week but concessions do not seem to be any larger than for some time. Sales men who have recently visited the west and southwest report favorable pros ; poets for the fall trade and say that the crop situation Is very much better than was indicated by the government report for August 1. Judging from the promptness with which iron and coke are being received by many foundries on contract the melt Is increasing, but new business is light and prices do not advance. The Standard Sanitary Manufacturing company purchased about 7e00 tons of foundry grades for fourth quarter delivery. The principal struc- tural material contract of the week was 14,0O0 tons for the Kansas City termin- al awarded by the general con- tractor to American Bridge company, which it is said also has taken the con tract for 53.000 tons for the North western Life Insurance building, Mill waukee. The city of Chicago has award HOO tons for the Washington street bridge to the Stroble Steel Construc- tion company. In the east the railroads are more prominent in inquiring and contracting for structural material. The New York Central has awarded 5000 tons to the American Bridge company for terminal work in New York city, The Boston and Maine is In the market for 5000 tons additional for bridge work. It is expected that nearly all of the 10000 tons of plates ana shapes which will be required for the Erie cars awarded last week will be rolled by the Pittsburg mills

The lnclement weather caused change in the plans of Mrs. J. B. Moss as hos tess of this afternoon for the Ladies Whist club and a number of friends on the lawn of the home of Mrs. E. A. Shel- fer, and the event proved to be a pretty affair of indoors. The library, hall and dining rooms were arranged with the three tables of whist players and six of forty-two enthusiasts, with masses of golden glow blooms and white asters add ing a color note. On the veranda punch bowl sheathed with clematis vines, was presided oyer by Misses Virginia William son and Nellie Neal in white frocks with yellow ribbons.

 Mrs. Moss, attired in white lingerie with sash of yellow, was assisted in her of- fees of hospitality by Mrs. E.. A. Shell fer and Misses Hogan of Birmingham. They wore dainty lowered muslins in the pastel shades.
 The first club prize, pair of black silk hose, was won by Mrs. W. H. Golson; the second, a duplicate, by Mrs. A. s.. Fitzpatrick; the guest price, also pair of hose, by Miss Irene Lopez, and Mrs. Moss presented Mrs. Shelfer with a pair of silk hose as courtesy of joint hostess.
