was celebrated Tuesday afternon at 1
o'clock in the apartment of the brides
aunt, Mrs. Charles A. Sem. in the Levert.

number of guests, because of q recent
bereavement, was elegant in its details.
Chrysanthemums and roses were used in
decorating.
Miss Sara Bruce furnished the nuptial
music. Miss Mary Ruth Tindal was maid
of honor. and the little ring-bearer was
little Lucy Lea. DR.. Shelton's best man
was Dr.. Walter Hardy. Miss Tindal, who
wore handsome tailored suit and carried

the general programme of manufactur-
ers. Mill will be run on shorter hours
with fewer men.
A 10000. .000-ton movement of iron ore
from the Lake Superior region, which
has been looked forward to for several
years, will not be realized this year. The
movement of November | was 5.7S7 1858
tons, an increase of 2,4SS, 767 tons over the
corresponding period of last year II
2,50O,000 tons are moved during November
of this year and the all rail shipments are
the same as last year, 5000 tons, the
total movement will be about 5000 900
tons.
There has been some new developments
in regard to competition from foreign
countries under the new tariff. Buyers
in Los Angeles have been quoted German
and Belgium billets, structural material
and steel bars at rates considerably below
present quotations for the domestic prod
uct British pig iron is not yet on a
competitive basis except that English
and Scottish hematte of standard low
phosphorus quality are quoted from 81 so
to 81 below the present market at Phila-
delphia, and it is expected that. the price
of the domestic product will be lowered to
meet competition. 1t is believed that the
new price on tin plate of 50. 40 per base
box of 100 pounds will practically exclude
the foreign product
More weakness has developed In the
plate market, and especially in the Cleve-
land and eastern districts, where sales
are being made with considerable freedom
at 81. .25 Pittsburg, while buyers claim that
they can shade that quotation at least
81 on desirable business.
The structural material market is also
weak, and prices range about 81 higher
than for plates. Steel bars have declined
to 81. .35 as the ordinary, and probably
81 80 can be done on desirable business.
Lower prices are ruling on nuts. bolts,
rivets and shafting Sheet bars and bill
let's have also declined sharply Billets
can he had at about $21 Pittsburg.
The market for furnace coke for deliv-
cry within the next 30 days is weak, and
nearly all makers of standard coke are
quoting from s1.S5 to s1.90. Low quota
tions have not brought out much new
business.

Net Loss of IL Furnaces Last
Month-Further Decline in
Prices Reported

New York, November Especial. THE
Iron Age will say tomorrow: The cutting
down of pig iron production forced by
the falling off in steel consumption is
but partly represented in the October
statistics. Many furnaces contributing to
the October output where blown out in
the latter part of the month. and a few
have gone out since November opened.
In the 81 days of October. coke and
iron production was 2,546, ,261 gross tons or
s21S tons a day, against 2,5O2,927 tons In
September. a 30 day month, or sS,531 tons
a day There was a net loss of Il fur
naces la,st month.
Further declines in prices are reported
this weelt, but buying is on so restricted
a scale that the inducement to make
deep cuts is lacking.
Railroad buying has been somewhat
better in the Chicago district and inquiry
for track fastenings has been larger both
east and west, but heavy railroad buy
ing plainly waits on the decision of rate
advances. which is now likely to be de-
layed for some months. The Reading
has ordered 31,0OO tons of rails. The Louis
VILE and Nashville is in the market for
5000 tons.
Thus far no considerable sales in this
country by foreign steel makers, apart
from those o the Pacific coast can be
traced. English rail makers have been
asked to quote on 5000 tons of rails for
shipment to southern port. presumably
for the San Antonio and Aransas Pass
railroad.
1t is known also, that low prices have
been quoted by Welsh tin plate makers
on oil can sizes for domestic consump-
ton on the Atlantic seaboard.
The pig iron market is weak, and foun-
dry iron is very dull and lower.
