SENTIMENT IN STEEL INDUSTRY CHEERFUL
Lull in Buying During Holi- day Season Not Expected
 to Last Long

Cleveland. O., December so.-tSpe- cial.)-The Iron Trade Review to- morrow will say.
 Cheerful sentiment dominates at the close of one of the most satisfactory years in the history of the iron trade.
 The lull in buying and the decreased activity of plants. which always char acterises the holiday season except in years of great prosperity. are fea- lures of the present situation. bur the feeling that early in the new year there will be a decided improvement has been growing stronger and an ef- fort is being made to obtain higher prices in finished products. On plates shapes and bars leading companies have announced that after today they will not accept specifications for any delivery at s1.G5 Pittsburg, which has been the prevailing price for prompt delivery. but will insist upon a min imum of s1.10 for either prompt or first quarter.
 In spite of lu1l in pig iron buying recent sales make a fair tonnage. One Cleveland firm has disposed of 30.000 tons during the past 10 days and scat tering lots making a considerable .on- mage have been sold throughout the country.
 The New York Central is expected to inquire today for 40 900 tons of rails in addition to it's recent inquiry for 10000, and other rail inquiries are ex- pected shortly. The New York Central is also in the market for a eonsd- erable quantity of bolts. nuts, bars and other products
 General railroad buying is not, how ever, developing rapidly.
 Keen competition in structural ma- terial continues. The McClintic Mar shall company has taken number os tonnages of fair size, including $500 tons for a new power house for the Corrigan Mckinney x Co. blast fur mace plant at Cleveland, 1500 tons for a waterworks pumping station at Cleveland, and 1900 to 2000 tons for a municipal cotton warehouse at New Orleans. The Jones & Laughlin Steel Go. has taken 1000 tons for alterations to the cooling plant of the Union Stock yards, Pittsburg.
 Leading machine tool manufacturers in Cincinnati and other centers are ex- ment to England. One company last to England and has received an addi- tiona1 order for two carloads of lathes from Italy. A large inquiry still is pending from Russia for lathes for quick delivery.

CLAIM ACTION GAN
 BE TAKEN ANY TIME
County Delegation Takes Position in Regard to
 Officers Salary

The Jefferson county delegation to the legislature has agree, 1t is said, that the basis of a Jefferson county off ciafs remuneration can be changed dur ing the term of office for which he was elected to serve.
 Thus according to indications. the st- uation becomes more complex, and will result. as has been always the general impression, in long legal fight before the courts of the state
 The amendment gives the legislature the right to change or fix the basis of salary of an official of this county. The delegation holds that such can be accom- plished at any time. The general i'm pression has been that unless such a change was effected prior to the taking of office by an official, it could not be done. prior to the beginning of another term.
 It has been pointed out, on the other hand. that there is reason to believe that the amendment itself is unconsti- tutional in that the legislature voted to submit the amendment without first vot- ing in favor of the amendment as the law requires.
 Despite the complex situation and the certainty that there will. be no extraor- dinary session of the legislature, the delegation will proceed to fix the sala,s of the sheriff, salary, it is said, to be either s60o0 or $75Oo per annum, and the sheriff, it is believed will proceed through the courts to oppose the action of the delegation.
 The members of the delegation yester- day served on the board of revenue formal request to postpone action rela- tive to the construction of new jail tIn- til after the final adjournment of the lepi sIa ftlra.

PROTESTS AGAINST

 BELGIAN PROPERTY
Belgian Minister Charges German Policy Means ''the Ruin of Industry in
 Belgium

Washington, December S0.-The Belgian minister today filed with the state de- pertinent a protest against the reauisi- tioning by German military authorities in Belgium of merchandise worth about 57.- ooo0oo francs He asserted that the Ger man policy meant ''the ruin of industry in Belgium M
 The protest set forth that the goods were not taken for use of the German army and that consequently the seizure was in violation of the fourth Hague con- vention
 The Belgian legation issued this state ment;
 According to the instructions of his day to the state department and filed a protest against the following acts com ntted by the German authorities in Bel gium
 The German authorities have put into requisition against a single receipt and without mentioning the value of the same, the following merchandise, to be forward ed to Germany, and which belonged to private parties:
 Tn Antwerp-cotton. for the value of 1s,ooo,Ooo francs; rubber, 2,50o.ooO francs; wooden, 6,oo0,oo0 francs: leather. 100000 francs.
 Tn Ghent-Cotton nets. flax and other raw materials, S.5O00oo francs
 Tn Charleroi-Copper, 100000 francs; tool machines, 12000.0o0 francs.
 Tn Duffelko-Niclxel 100000 francs
 Tn Malines-Canned goods, 2,500 GOO francs.
 These measures are in opposition with articles 46 and 52 of the fourth convention of Tho Hague, in accordance with which private property must be respected and requisition cannot be claimed otherwise than for the needs of the army of occupa- ton. These measures involve the ruin of the industry in Belgium.
 The Belgium minister wishes to call at tention to the fact that it has been said that the Belgian laboring people had re- fused to bo gack to work One can easily notice the value of such an act of accu- sation. How could the laboring class work if all possibilities are taken away from item? No excuse can be given for this spoilation of private properties"
