DEAAhDF0RSEEH
CONTINUES LIGHT
Pig Iron Dull and Weak-Re-
view Of the Metal
Markets.

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE
demand for steel and steel products
has continued very light. and I'M
filled orders Of the Steel Corporation
show decrease of 1881 tons for
the month. Prices for pract ;caHy all
lines, with the exception of pipe. have
now been lowered to q basis with the
Steel Corporation. but without stimu-
lating new business. Independent
mills have in some instances inti-
mated that they might shade the
basic price if it would induce husi-
ness. Record October reports had
little influence. as they represented
old business. 49,
Little New Business in Iron,
Pig iron was dull and weak Fur
naees are getting little new business,
despite steadily declining prices, and
more shutdowns are occurring con-
stantly. Easier prices for coal and
coke are expected to effect prices,
and consumers have not indicated at
what levels they might take hold.
No Improvement in copper demand
has been reported. and returns from
some of the larger companies indi-
cate that production for November
ran some what above previous pee
tations. Prices. however have been
generally well maintained. The sup
plies recently pressing on the mark ct
seem to have been nretty well alb
sorbed and the 70 aen-cent basis
has been more firmly established
with some producers asking an ad-
vance of u cent for forward ship
ments
Sales for November are estimated
at about 100000. 900 pounds, and on
the basis of returns so far received
it is believed that November produc-
ton will be about liz. 009, 600 pounds
by United States smelters. or a little
more than so per cent of capacity.
Two companies have announced wage
reductions of Is per cent.
Other Metals Quoted.
Tin prices responded to improve
nnent in London and straits, but do
naestic buyers have been slow to
take hold.
Lead firm. with few sellers. except
at better than cents. The late
drop in London had little effect here.
Zinc was quite active and higher
early in the week. but demand
lessened later. as buyers seemed to
have obtained all the metal they
need for the moment. Offerings how
ever. are not being pressed and prices
were well maintained at the close of
the week.
Anthony was affected by liberal
offerings from the orient at lower
prices in New York in bond for jan
uary-February shipment. and by the
recent decline in silver.

Darien, Conn, Oct. 15-Rev. G Emil Richter of Darien, who claims election a grand juror, was sworn in late yesterday by Robert E. M Smith, notary, after Senator Charles E.. Williamson the moderator had de- .slined to declare him elected. 4 certificate of election was offered to town clerk stephen R. Hoyt, who de- clined to record it. pending an opin- ion from the town counsel.
 MT. Richter today said he was sat isfied to leave the matter with Mark w. Norman, the town counsel, whc returned from Europe only a few days ago and was not here so he could have been consulted on cleo aon day. MT. Richter says that persons elected to office do not ob- sin a certificate of election but their claim is based on a record filed by the town clerk.
 The Secretary of State which mere ly gives the figures of the vote. MT Richter says the material thing is the oath and heh aving taken it as a grand juror, he feels he is clothed with full powers to stop gam bling bootlegging and other lawlessness ir town.
 MT. Richter, declaring that politi- cal elements were arrayed against him as a candidate for grand juror today announced an indpendent can. didacy for representative against Charles F.. Williamson who has been nominated for the House by the Re- publicans. The Democratic nominee is J. Charles Johnston.

NO NEGLIGENCE
 AT AUTO RACE

Danbury Fair officials will prob ably be absolved of all blame in con- nection with the death of Henry L.. Goldbourne, an automobile racing driver, who was killed on the Dan bury, track Saturday afternoon when his automobile turned over while rounding curve.
 Coroner John J. Phelan conducted an investigation in Danbury yeSter- day, and found that the track had been inspected and approved by committee of the American Automo- bile Association, under whose direc- tion the races were held.
 Goldbourne, who raced under the name of James Cooper" was driv- ing a machine known as a Cooper special at the time of the fatal acci- dent, according to testimony offered at yesterdays hearing. On the curve he attempted to. pass a Haynes car and in doing so brought his machine up against a bale of h~y which had been erected as guard. The car overturned, and besides fracturing bones to penetrate the lungs. Gold bourne died iE the Danbury hospital Saturday night. He was resident of New York city.
 The racetrack at the Fair grounds was intended primarily for horse racing, but was converted into an auto track by banking the turns to some extent. All of the drivers were professionals, and evidently had ample opportunity to test the course before entering the race.
 The coroner's finding has not yet been announced.
