GIVEN UP FOR LOST,
CREW is RESCUED

picked them up October 9, 1000 miles off
the coast of Chile. Cap. ]. Ibester and
three of his men are dead. How they
perished the news that reached here to-
day did not tell.
First word of the loss of the Dalgonar,
which carried a crew of about 80, reached
here on December 10, when the French
barque Marie anchored. Captain Moricet

Inquiries Are Reported for

LARGE RAIL ORDERS
Mills Disposed to Adopt Conservative
Policy as to Contracts-Heavy
Demand for Standard Spikes
Has Appeared

New York December 17-(Speclal)
Though new business is at substantially
the rate of the past two weeks, makers
are less inclined to believe that serious
or prolonged depression is ahead. They
are eager to get orders for early rolling,
but are showing more firmness than
buyers apparently expected in declining
two years ago.
Operations at mills are likely to drop
off further In the last 10 days of the
year. A number of steel works blast fur
naces will be banked to prevent accumu-
lations of pig iron while steel product is
cut down. In some cases mills will stop
at the end of this week and remain idle
until after January 1. Inquiries are re-
ported for 10000 cars that are thought
likely to be ordered In the next few weeks
The Union Pacific is in the market for
railway has ordered 100000 tons of rails
from the Algoma company and 5000 tons
from the Dominion company. In the Chi

disregarded in some recent bar sales; for
example. 1,3Oc, Milwaukee, figures back
to 110c Pittsburg.
Eastern shipyards. which are still busy,
have inquiries for six new vessels, in
Guiding two for coast forecast trade via

Recent large buying by two interests
has given the pig iron market an ap-
pearance of activity, but the average con-

$40 Birmingham.

been quite well held at $11 Birmingham

Cleveland, O.. December 17.-(Special)
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
Decided increase in interest in the mar
ket on the part of buyers with greater
willingness to make contracts for fin
ished materials has characterized the past
few days. Mills are disposed to adopt a
conservative policy as to contracts and
while they will contract through the first
half of the new year on steel bars there
is strong disposition to make three
months the limit on other finished ma
terial owing to the bitter experiences Of
past years when buyers have freely cam
celled contracts on a declining market;
short time contracting is being strongly
urged by leading companies.
Many plants, including some blast fur
naces, will cease operations for at least
10 days during the holiday season when
very low prices are made. 1t is usually
in connection with the sale of a consider

HOME RULE PROBLEM
is NOT YET SETTLED

London. December 17.-Sir Edward Gray,
foreign secretary, addressing his constit-
uents in Northumberland today, ac-
knowledged that no progress had been
made as yet in the direction of achiev-
ing settlement of the home rule ques-
ton by CONSENT
The government he said, actuated by q
spirit of conciliation, had opened the door,
but instead of entering In and discussing
terms, the opposition persisted in staying
outside and shouting In things at the WIN
dow. Still the door would continue to be
open, and 1t would not be the fault of the
liberal party If peaceful settlement was
not reached.
