Cleveland, March 1.-The Iron Trade Re- view tomorrow will say:
 'The decisions rendered in the railroad rate cases are receiving widespread at tentjon in the steel trade. and much spec ulation is being indulged in as to their probable effect.
 While some buyers who cater to the railroads seem to have become more eau tious contracts for the future require ments until they can determine more ac- curately what the future policy of the railroads will be. the trade generally has received with calmneSs the actions of the commission which the lleenest observers of business conditions declare has placed railroad securities on more substantial basis than ever before existed, and has paved the way for period of greater prosperity among the railroads. The opin- ion in we'll posted circles is that while the railroads may temporarily cCrtail their purchases, which have not been liberal for years, the situation will right itself in que season through the impossbility of the companies t-oIonging the meeting of needs which hah been allowed to accum- uate steadily.
 While a few cancellations of railroad equipment are noted resulting in one case in the request for the cancellation of pig iron, some good inquiries and orde es for cars have come out in the past few days and in some centers, particularly in Pittsburg, specifications against con tracts for rails and other products are reported undiminished.
 While in some parts of the country there is more hesitancy the pig iron market generally attributed to the rail road freight decision, the, strength of the market is not impaired.
 Wire manufacturers are expected to advance prices S1 a ton within a few days. The wire business Is reported ex- cellent.
 An advance in merchant pipe is also expected within few days. Tube mak- CTS are now receiving many requests to hurry forward shipments. an experience which they have not had for months.
 Prices of both furnace and foundry coke are somewhat higher than they were early in February

IRON TRADE IS
 WELL SATISFIED Rate Decision Stops Price
 Advances EXPECT RAIL ORDERS Steel Corporation Now Has 65 Per Cent of Its Blast Furnace Capacity Active and Has
 Reduced Stock
EXPECT RAIL ORDERS

New York; March 1.-(Special. 1.-The Iron Age tomorrow will say:
 'There is undisguised satisfaction in the iron trade that last weeks rate decision has put a period to the hong round of price advances. Had it been different, steel manufacturers see that fresh wage advances would have been demanded, not only by employees of railroads, but of steel works and other industries.
 Tn view of the Steel corporations ex- eellent sales for export its record of new orders In February is relatively better than that of it's competitors With daily average of 35000 to 10000 tons of new orders. the Steel corporation exceeds its January rate; it's shipments this month have likewise increased In the past week the large Pittsburg companies report some slowing down both in new orders and specifications.
 'The steel corporation now has 65 per cent of its blast furnace capacity active, against 62 per cent one week ago, and meanwhile has reduced somewhat its pig iron stocks.
 It seems probable that an advance of $1 in wire products will come soon- CT than has been expected There is also possibility of an advance in merchant pipe. which has long been out of its usual relation to other products.
 The Hartman rail order which IS likely to be for 10000 tons or more, is expected in the near future. The pig iron market shows that buyers are testing the ability of the furnaces to secure the advances recently asked.
 T,, irAr ,cin hoC done on the old basis where large amounts were involved. Southern sell CTS are asking s11.25 for third quarter and s11.50 for second half. Actual sales reported for third quarter show range from $11 to SLIPS.

almost abated. and 1t is not though,
there will be any further attempts OF

As noted in our issue of Saturday
the negro was captured at Dade City

to the cOolheaded manner in which
he was spirited away that he reached
that city alive. as the roadway for
miles was guarded by angry men
eager to wreak vengeance on the

Shortly after placing the negro in
Jail at Dade City, the sheriff gave
out the information to the mob
which had already formed around
the Jail, that hewould not think of
taking the negro to Tampa but would
catch a late night train for Ocala.
This threw the men off their guard,
and as soon as they dispersed, the
officers led the negro out the back
