Iron Age Report

New York, July 26-(Special. )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow;
 From the viewpoint Of the Iron traue, the interstate commerce commlsslons de- cision reducing Reno, Spokane and Sait Lake rates about 20 per cent IS regarueo as simply another incident in the railroad situation The iron trade has not had anything like it's normal volume or DUST ness from the railroads for many months, and has managed to get along after some fashion. and this new decision is not hke- lv to restrict their orders much further.
 The reports from various trade centers show a continued slight increase In steel mill operations.
 While the volume of business is showing a steady gain in finished productions the improved buying conditions are not sur- ficient to satisfy some producers ana prices on certain products are subject to more or less shading. This has been especially the case with regard to steel bars and sheets.
 It is worthy of note. however. that the leading manufacturers of steel bars are firmly maintaining the price of l.2oc' Pittsburg.
 An order for sO,0oo tons of steel rails is being rolled for quick delivery by the Illinois Steel company for the Canadian Pacific, while the same railroad company has purchased SOC0 from the Lackawanna Steel company.
 Included In recent export business is a contract for 2o.0o0 tons of structura shapes from bridge builders in Canada.
 The Tennessee company has received ar order for 11,000 tons of rails from the Georgia Central.
 The pig iron market appears to be broadening. From Birmingham sale oi 25.o00 tons of iron to a manufacturer oi cast iron pipe is reported, while. numer ous other transactions of coz aerablt quantities have taken place 4Re con. tinued heavy movement from furnace tone of southern iron, and 1t looks as il the $l0 price might soon become mem ory, as this price can no longer be ob tained from four of tho prominent south ern producing interests.

 The largest gains are being made by the Chicago district with Pittsburg close second The Steel corporation has also blown in two additional Ohio stacks and the active furnace capacity is now 6o. her cent This increase has been accom- panied by a reduction of about 22,OOO tons in the corporations big iron stocks in the week.

day. the contests developing into two
great battles of pitchers. Mathewson was
hes1ed by Adams in the first game, a
muffed foul by Herzog in the sixth inning
starting Mathewson's downfall, as Adams
followed with clean hit. leading up TO
Pittsburg's first score. Marquard had the
better of Camnitz in the second game,
holding the Pirates to two hits, whicn
they punched for their only run IN the
fifth. Marquard struck out II men, eight
of them tanning in the first four innings.
The Giants winning run was scored IN
the sixth on singles by Devore and Doyle
and Snodgrass' sacrifice fly. Both teams
fielded brilliantly, Carey being especially
conspicuous. He robbed Herzog of a
home run in the first game by a sensa-
tional running catch in deep center, and

seriously He holds that if Canada had
waited she would have obtained from
the Democratic Congress practically all
that the pact gives without making any
return. He asserts that reciprocity is
a cloud with which the government is
seeking to hide the corruption and
graft which, as he says. have made
him ashamed of the party TO which he
belongs, but above all il is intended TO
divert the minds of the people from
the naval question.
Bourassa is opposed 10 the govern
merit plan for the construction of a
Canaeian navy, but would spend the
money upon coast defences. so that on
the naval question he is as far from
the policy of the Conservative party as
he is from that of Laurier, and Inc
Liberals
Sir Wilfrids reply to Bourassa Is
that he is in an unholy alliance with
the Conservative party with the sole
object Of bringing about Laurier' :
downfall
