THE STEEL MARKET.
Flashed Products stored In Antici-
patton of Later Demand.

But slight changes have been noted In
the market by steel interests. There
has been a letup in buying. Some equip
ment orders were placed. but II Is ad-
mitted that they are materially smaller
than normal requirements for the roads
placing orders. Prices for future de-
livery are holding steady. with shading
on buying for Immediate delivery.
Much OF tho steel manufactured at
present IL going into warehouses In an
tlcipatior OF a market for II lateN on.
Railroad orders arc scarce. and the de-
mand IL confined in tho main to wire,
sheets and tin plate.
II is estimated that probably 100000
tons OF pig iron have been contracted for
In tho Birmingham district since January
I. with the ruling price at 5000 or some-
what below that figure. 1t Is denied that
anything below 5000 was done. while
ono interest all along was able to get
s1i, owing to a special demand for Its
iron.
There were large sales OF basic as well
as OF foundry, and II Is understood that
there is no more of the former available
for. some time 90 come. one interest
claims that 1t has recently and since the
large sales were made disposed OF over
5000 tone at Sll. This new basis is quoted
By all concerns. but none mention large
sales made at that figure. with the excep-
ton above noted. Some soft foundry
does fetch sll straight along.
Among tho sales OF pig iron MADE IN
January were 5000 tons by tho Alabama
COMPANY, which manufactures Clifton
brand These sales werc at $l2 10 sli
with one stack operating. The Iron IL used
In some quarters as n substitute Tor char-

CHAPTER Xii.

The celebration over, the mill once
more settled down to that Industrial
peace which is accompanied by the
deafening roar Of machinery, the
clamor Of the busy hammer on the
nail, sinking home in packing boxes,
the shouts Of workingmen and women
forced to thrust their words above the
strident medley which surrounds them
There was new life in the old mill,
new confidence had taken place Of
fear and fierce antagonism in the
hearts Of hundreds, an esprit de corps
had been born suddenly such as had
not existed in that factory for many
years. In one happy sentence OF his
bashful speech Broadway had struck a
keynote. He had said:
"And-er-now, you fellows. keep
your brains-er15busy with this stu
alton. have bucked the Trust. I've
bucked the Trust for you and the old
town. Now if you don't help me beat
it to the ropes, stagger 1t, blind it,
pulp it, put it down and out as the all
powerful force in the gum-industry,
it's going to wipe me OF the map, and
when I'm wiped you're wiped.

It was very silly, and he knew how
very silly it was, but, none the less,
the city man enjoyed the persifiage
with this red-cheeked rural maiden. In
the extraordinary ebullition of his spir-
its he reached out his hand for hers,
found it. and stood swinging it. She
blushed, he laughed. He was really
burIesquing a Irritation, but she did
not know it, nor was the impulse of his
foolery entirely burIesque. He was
very much confused when an amused
cough from behind them told that
Josie had come IN.
He whirled. "Oh, good morning, Miss
Richards!"
How do you do, Mr.. Wallace?" She
smiled with definite satisfaction. Mr.
Jones is causing quite a sensation in
