ARRESTED MAN IS
 EXPERT BURGLAR

Louisville, January 1S.-Whether Percy Magnus, alias Percy Shaw, will face trial for burglary in Louisville or New Orleans is a matter that remains to be seen. Magnus, by which name he is more generally known among the police, was arrested yesterday in Louis- vile. He is charged with having robbed the residence of Mrs. w. H.. Kaye in Third avenue of s3600 worth of diamonds. Now it has developed that he IS also wanted in New Orleans for robbery and that city has about $2oo the better of Louisville in that the diamonds and other jewelry which he is alleged to have taken from the res idence of Abe Brittin, in New Orleans, was valued at s3S00.
 The Kaye residence, however was robed last October. while the New Or leans robbery has been recorded with in the last 10 days. When arrested locket bearing the name "Brittin" was found in his pocket.
 Magnus admits that he Is an old hand at "second-story work" and also con fessed to robberies in Cleveland and other cities. In his left shoulder and right leg are numerous gunshot wounds which he refused to account for. When arraigned today his case was continued.

 "I have used the rare old Stradvarius, which you saw yesterday, at my recitals for eight years,' said MT. Macmillen proudly. Tt was presented to me by Lady Walter Palmer of London, the wife of the late Sir Walter Palmer, millionaire member of parliament. The remarkable preservation of the violin is the wonder Of all connoisseurs who have seen it. The instrument cost sS00O and is one of the finest I have ever seen.

Sentiment Against Cut Prices

Cleveland. January 1S.-(Special) )--The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: As 8 result of the development at the New York meeting of manufacturers of strong sentiment against reduction in ing reduction of wages at many plants, there is distinctly better tone in the fin- ished material market. While no one is confident of very decided change for the better, the hope of steady upward trend Is entertained. Conditions in the pig iron market are not so promising as in fin- ished lines, although in some parts of the country there is better inquiry, especially for basic. There is also a disposition in some centers to make concessions. In the east. sellers are very aggressive and con sessions about 50 cents per ton have been made in some cases. Most of the north ern shading is attributed to Buffalo mak- CTS on sales for delivery farther east. AL though in Cincinnati and Birmingham southern iron has been sold at $11 per ton for No. ?. Birmingham, this quotation has been shaded 25 cents in Chicago
 A sale of 10000 tons of non-Bessemer Mesaba ore has been made to western Pennsylvania furnace on the basis of last years price, $4 per ton and the seller will take 4000 tons of basic pig iron from the  furnace company. As this is an exchange deal, it will not in any way affect the ore market Although a few furnace opera tor shave shown some desire to know what will probably be the ore price this year, no announcement has been made, and it is not probable that any will be in the future. Inquiries for freight cars caused a somewhat hopeful feeling con- corning the attitude of the railroads which placed orders during the week for several thousand tons of structural ma terial, 14,O00 tons of rails and POGO kegs of spikes. The Pennsylvania Lines have closed for 1900 freight cars. of which the Cambria Steel company will build eco and the Pressed Steel Car company 4S0, and the American Car and Foundry company probably the remainder. Definite action Is expected this week on inquiries for sev- eral thousand cars The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company has been awarded 9SO3 tons of pipe for the city of Chicago and coco tons Tor the city of Portland, Ore. The outlook for cast iron pipe business is much more encouraging.
