IRON TRADE PICKS UP

New York. March 1.--R. c. Dun & Go. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Tn view of the fact that the severe win ter weather has served to hold trade dis tributions in check, the near approach of spring constitutes the most favorable fea- ture of the business situation and already this is having a beneficial effect The severe weather operated to the dsadvan' tage of the railroads and of the iron in dustry and also decreased the volume of building transactions. But as the wea.~- CT has improved trade improvement IS showing.
 The iron trade is shaking off the depres- sion of winter and there is an increase i'll production that further shortens the dis. tance to full capacity; requirements on account of the building of two new steam ships seem an augry of what may per- haps be expected to follow the early open ing of the Panama canal. The leading in- terest is operating to about S5 per cent of capacity and has orders for some weeks ahead, with most activity in basic prod- ucts. Sales of basic iron at Pittsburg total moderate tonnage and demand on the merchant furnace has increased but the market does not show much strength.
 In finished lines concessions are granted although no official revision in prices has been made. The minimum for plain strue- tural material and plates is said $l.50, and tin plate, which is nominally $3, 10 for 1Q0 pound ookes, is shaded. Production of coke is keeping up fairly well, prices are stronger and operators regard prospects as incouraging.
 Some additional advances are noted in the dry goods markets. Retailers and job bers are making liberal purchases of cot ton goods, and as staples, stocks of which have been much reduced, are moving freely, there is every indication of still greater activity. Ginghams are in bet ter request for later delivery, especially staples, and demand for wash fabrics Is more pronounced. Fine printed for sum mer distribution are moving freely and there is moderate improvement In fine cotton yarn goods. Export trade continues good, standard drills being sold to India and steady bidding is reported from the Red Sea and Africa. In woolens some lines are active while others are quiet, but steady progress is being made by many mills. Cotton yarns hold firm and spot stocks are light, while worsted yarns are steady with many mills sold ahead. The footwear market continues quiet with new business of moderate volume only. In some varieties of leather trade is only fair and many lines are decidedly dull. Prices are firm.

SMITH SPEAKSAT
 THE ARMORY HALL
Declares Business Men Must Carry on the Religious
 Work of Country


 Fred B. Smith, national executive sec- retary of the Men and Religion For ward Movement, delivered an excellent address at a luncheon at the Armory hall yesterday noon attended by about 250 of the business men of the city. MT. Smith spoke on Business and Re ligion' and brought out the point that it was up to the business men to carry on the religious work of the country.
 Alr. Smith. accompanied by the In- ternational Male Quartet, Is on a tour across the continent and will go to Atlanta this morning where he will join the board of experts who were in Birmingham several weeks ago.
 In his talk at the luncheon yester- day MT smith said in part: Ut is a harsh thing to say, but 1t Is fact that We are commercially joy riding in this country Other nations look on Us as babe to religious affairs. If we are 10 evangelize the world, it must be done on the outside of the doors of the church. We must carry the work into the shops and factories and where Inc
  never come when all men will go 10 church.
 T want to encourage prosperity, but on the other hand I want to say that young man in pursuit of money at the present time is running q dangerous risk of losing his soul. Be fair in all things-and this is a hard thing to do.
 The coming year will be the most ious field,'' said MT. Smith. He gave an outline of the proposed work of the NJ en and Religion Movement, laying special stress on the line of boy work. Ut is the sons of you business men who will elect a President of the United States some of these days, and 1t is up to you to see that those boys get the right idea of life" he declared.
 MT. Smith laid great stress upon the idea of family prayer and urged the men to consider this point as a vital one in bringing up their children He said at one time, "I believe that the destiny of our country Is placed in the high schools of the modern cities It is here that the boy gets his education, and where the religious side of his life must not be neglected"
 The International Quartet delivered two selections at the luncheon that were received with much aplause from the business men. MT. Smith, with the quartet, will go to Atlanta this morn ing. where they will carry on the work of the Men and Religion Movement.

MISSIONARIES HAVE NOT BEEN ARRESTED

Seoul, Korea. March 1.-No Christian missionaries have been arrested in Korea. Reports of persecution of Christian con verts are absolutely without foundation, according to the statement of prominent official here today He declared Count Terauchi, governor general of Korea, had frequently supported the Christian dele gates. The prisoners arrested in connec- tion with the plot against the governor general are examined slowly and care fully through interpreters.
 The plot was deep rooted with ramifica- tions. It was connected with the con spiracy for the murder of Durham White Stevens, the advisor to the Japanese em- bassy in the United States, who was killed in San Francisco by a Korean in March, 1908; with the assassination at Harbin by a Korean in Octomer, 1909, of Prince Ito, and with the attack on the Korean pre- mier.

EXPLOSION CAUSED
 BY NATURAL GAS

Anniston, March 1.--(Special)-A sub terranean explosion and consequent pro. trusion of the earth, leaving a hole in the surface about eight feet square and several feet deep, on the farm of B. F. Jones, in this county, near Morrisvilie, is attributed to natural gas, which is be- lieved to exist in abundance in this county.
 MT.
