Cleveland, January T.-(Special.)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Heavy specifying against contracts, in- creased mill activities especially on the part of the Steel corporation, and a fair amount of new business furnished strong indications that after the lull of the last few weeks the iron trade is preparing to TO forward at a very satisfactory rate throughout the first half of the year. With the resumption of the corporation plants at North Sharon and Columbus, the Car negie Steel company's idle furnaces will be a few isolated stacks which are oper- ated only Ill times of great prosperity.
 The corporations general operations are now from So to S5 per cent of capacity, and the outlook is that with the improve mens in business which can usually be counted upon with confidence in the spring, mills of the corporation will not be able to give prompt deliveries. With some of the Independent companies inn provement has not been rapid, and in eastern territory especially the change fo~ the letter is slight.
 An important reason for the Steel cor poration being able to make a better showing than snany of it's competitors is that it has been enjoying an increasingly important export business. while the in- dependent companies have been doing practically nothing in foreign orders. The independents recognize that they are en- tirely without the organization necessary to carry on an export business, and now have under consideration the formation Of an export corporation to handle the foreig- business of these companies some what after the manner of the United States Steel Products company. the ex- port subsidiary of the corporation. Rail- road business develops rather slowly, and the rail tonnage being placed is disap- pointing.
 Although, official information is being withheld, it is understood that the New York Centrals rail order was only for 115,0o0 tons. although it has been conf dently expected that the order would be 1S0,d0O tons The Pennsylvania rail order has not yet been placed.
 The buying of pig iron continues at a moderate rate, and prices show little change. Efforts to advance the price of southern pig iron for delivery during the first half to s10 25 and slo. 50 have met with little success.
 A Cleveland firm has sold 2s0Od0 tons of pig iron since November l last, and reports that the demand continues at a fair rate A Cleveland company which has just blown out it's furnace for re- building has purchased 10000 tons of basic for it's open hearth plant.

The observation room was as lone
4y as deserted battlefield and Mar
jorie as doleful as wounded SOL
dier left behind. and perishing OF
thirst, when the conductor came back
with Snoozleums In his arms.
He regarded with contemptuous
awe the petty cause of so great an
event as the stopping Of the Trans
American, He expected to see Mar
jorie receive the returned .prodigal
with wild rapture, but she didn't even
smile when he said:
Here's your powder-pur,"
She Just took Snoozleums on her
lap, and, looking up with wet eyes
and sad smile, murmured:
Thank you very much. You're the
incest conductor I ever met. II you
ever want another position, I'll see
that my father gets you one"
It was like Offering the kaiser q
new fob, but the conductor swallowed
the insult and sought to repay 1t with
irony.
Thanks. And II you ever want to
run this road for couple OF weeks,
Just let me know"
Marjorie nodded appreciatively and
said: II will. You're very kind"
And that completed the rout OF that
conductor. He retired In disorder,
leaving Marjorie to fondle Snoozle-
ums with neglectful indifference that
would have greatly battered Mallory,
