The Trend of the Market.

4 special analysis of the present market
situation and the outlook from now until
after the first of the year is contained
in the following by j. r. Williston 4 Co:
AS the end of the year approaches
with the financial preparations necessary
to take care of some S254. 10000 dividends
and interest payments. it cannot be eN-
pected that we are going to have an au-
vance TO any large extent. However II
is the best opinion that after the turn
of the year. when money rates again oe-
scend 10 a normal level, quite rise
might be reasonably expected. All 'he
unfavOrable developments on Which 'he
bearish operators laid so much STRESS
during the last few weeks seem 10 De
gradually disappearing, leaving room TOT
the great crops we have raised and other
favorable developments TO have their IN
ffuence. The prices OF standard stocks
are on a very attractive income return
basis as compared with the prices OF
per cent bonds, and there will no doubt
BE- a continuation OF switching over from
the latter to the higher dividend paying
securities TO the benefit Of the prices OF
the latter

Iron and Steel Trade.

The Iron Age" I'm its weekly review of
the iron and steel situation says:
Impressive signs OF strength and OF
continuing prosperity in the iron and steel
trades have appeared at a time when
there was some disposition 70 look for a
lull. Especially significant have been an
inquiry of the Hartman lines for 1900
-cars-a climax TO a wonderful year Of car
buyiug-and heavy purchases Of steel
hillets in both Eastern and Western Penn
sylvania.
1T is estimated that 10000 tons of
billets. chiefly for rolling, were bought IL
Philadelphia, including $1,000 tons or
southern steel. At Pittsburgh the leading
producer has again gone into the market
for billets. and one lot Of $4,000 tons OF
open hearth was taken at close 10 SO.
In Eastern Pennsylvania rolling billets
have sold at s32 and forging billets at
S3G.
The renewed activity in railroad equip
ment and in various forms of material for
railroads has been surprise even to those
in the trade who have been making large
predictions for next year. A most un-
usual feature is the placing this month
Of contracts for girder rails, which always
heretofore awaited the coming Of spring.
Al Pittsburgh 1000 tons of new orders
and specifications for light rails were en-
tered in the last week by one company.

IN that line.
a considerable rail order was placed
recently. Of which details have not been

rails for the Nickel Plate road was taken
by the Lackawanna Steel Company. Ex-
mort business includes 10000 tons Of
Besseuer rails for the Buenos Ayres &
Pacific which will be rolled in August and
September. Active specifying for track
fastenings has been a feature in the do
nestle trade.
The extent TO which the mills are sold
into 1913 Oh billets, rails, bars, plates
and shapes compelled some slowing down
F.. IN new orders in December, but present In
dications are that the Steel Corporations
unified orders on December 81 will be
close 20 the total at the opening Of the
month IN the case OF most, If not all, the
independent companies shipments have
been more than new orders in December
'~rhe Iron Trade Review" in Us edi-
tofial summary affects the same optimis-
tic tone. and says that seldom in the his
tory Of the iron trade have the holidays
interfered so little as they have up to
the present time this year with business
activity. The cheerfulness with which
buyers Of finished materials pay pre-
miums for prompt delivery is perhaps the
most striking feature OF the market Mills
IN Eastern Pennsylvania are able TO
.charge high prices for shapes and plates
and shin them hundreds Of miles, passing
many mills Of the Central West which are
unable to make deliveries until far into
hext year. one large Independent com
pauy came into the market last week to
sell foT delivery during the last half OF
1913 and in two or three DAYS sold all
the tonnage which IT had TO offer, includ-
lug $4,000 tons II bars at L4Oc' Pitts
burgh Some other independent companies
have added 70 the tonnage sold for deliv-
cry in the last half of 1913, but their
policy, as a rule. is very conservative.

NO CLUE TO ALLEN OUTLAWS.
Detectives Waiting for Them to Make .
Break From Mountains.

MOUNT AIRY. N. C.. March 2I.-The
situation in the hunt for the Virginia out
laws in the mountains to the north of here
remains practically unchanged and the
detectives are still hoping that they will
make a break for liberty, for that now
seems to be the. plan OF capture decided
upon. They know that they are unable
to take them in the mountains without loss
OF life and they seem to be waiting for
something to happen.
There are six detectives headed by " a.

they have been kept busy following re-
ports that Sidna Allen was wounded and
was hidden here for medical treatment
II was rumored that he was at the home OF

who was shot by the Aliens last Thursday

Every indication seems to bear out the
conclusion that the officers have no posi-
tive knowledge as to the h iding place of
Sidna Allen, upon whose head the largest
price is set, is by no means unknown to the
ways Of the world. For he has travelled
far when the minions OF the law were not
