difference to the Unexpectedly good re-
port of the Steel corporation today
demonstrated the apathetic condition
into which the market has fallen. An
increase of $4,000 tons untitled or

expecta tons, was the first increase
shown since the publication of the re-
port for the last quarter of 1903.
The market did very little all day.

on a distribution of buying orders. Inc
rise brought little support and prices
fell off when room traders took prof

Secret Scouting Trip.
II was news TO fandom to-day that
Christy Mathewson was away from
New York for day or two last week
on secret scouting trip TO Shibe park,
the home OF the Philadelphia team.
which he hopes TO defeat for tho
worlds title. II "Matty" hoped to keen
his little expedition a secret he was
foiled by two members of the New
York Americans, who recognized him
as he sat in sweater and golf cap in
grandstand seat directly behind the
plate on Thursday and Friday
Every Philadelphia that came to
bat was narrowly Inspected by the
Giants pitcher. II was evident that
he was making mental notes as to the
mems weak points.
Much OF Mathewson's success in tho
local series last fall between tho New
York Nationals and Americans was
attributed to his observations on prior
visits to the American League park.
He seemed to thave the key to every
man on the team. Judging from the
way he puzzled them with his fade
away and perfectly controlled speed
After the series was over he said one
day: IF you know how to tell the
difference between the balls fellow
can hit and those he cannot hit, you've
got his measure
As to his inspection of the Pniladel-
phia team. his deductions will remain
secro. until he pitches against them
in the big series, Then 1t will be made
clear whether he has discovered any
weak points OF not II he did. 1t is a
sure thing he Will make the most of
them
