Recent reports from Pittsburg tell
ing of small recessions in prices Of
one or two grades of pig iron lead
to the belief in some quarters that
the apex of steel prices has been
reached. Some of the keenest OBJ
srvers in the trade hold this view.
In fact, one or two Of them have te-
lieved for months that the spring
would witness a decline from the
high premium levels being obtained
by some companies for quick delivery
material. Ali steel men, however,
are positive any decline will not af-
feet the contract levels charged by
the large producers. The high prem
ium prices are regarded by many as
unhealthy an1 their elimination would
be welcomed. There are also many
other steel men, also of unusually
sound judgment, who expect a strong
steel market to continue throughout
the rest of the year.

CHICAGO, April H.-Illinois wants
Lowden.
Practically complete returns from
yesterdays preferential primaries in
Illinois early today showed Governor
Frank o. Lowden leading General
Wood by 66,731 votes as the repub-
lican choice for president Returns
were awaited from 3S3 downstate
precincts expected to run the gov
ernor's plurality to $4,000 or more.
The democratic situation was mud
died. With no names printed ON the
ballots, great variety Of names
was written in--some palpable
t.jcshes'' on neighbors and some seri.
ously intended. All democratic eli
gibles were honored with written-in
votes, but tabulations failed early to-
day to indicate a favorite.
There. were two features to keep
Governor Lowdens walkaway from
making it a dull election.
One was General Woods victory In
Cook county, where the officer took
1O5,S77 votes to Lowden's 1894.
The other was the great written-in
vote rendered Hiram Johnson.
In Cook county Johnson thus
polled 4O,SS1 votes. Returns from
down state showed the senator had
many followers there also, but fig
ures on his showing were not com.
plete. One candidate for delegate
from Chicago pledged to Johnson was
elected. He was the only out-and-out
candidate for Johnson. ...
m 81 ~ tho nTnfaranfi11
vote, not absolutely binding, Lowden
would take thirty-five of the fifty
Illinois delegates elected yesterday
to the national convention. Some or
these were pledged to the governor
Wood had none pledged but carried
the districts from which fourteen
were elected. Johnson took the other.
Eight more will be chosen by the
state convention.
In Chicago, Mayor William Hale
Thompson was decisively victorious
in a fight for ward committeeman,
taking thiEty-four of thirty-five wards.
The mayors position in the party
was strengthened greatly by the cleo
tion.
Outside Cook county the vote was
lighter than anticipated, spring plow-
ing having preference over voting.
The woman's vote was light, also.
In Cook county CChicago) the fol-
lowing written in" votes were cast:
Harding, 105; Hoover, 416. On the
democratic ticket Governor Edwards
received 172 votes.
General Wood was enroute to CHI
cago today from the east. Governor
Lowden was campaigning in Kansas.
Precincts from which returns were
missing were slow to supply the fig
ures today. They were all downstate
precincts, which were expected to
yield pluralities for Lowden ut the
average of thirty-three to the pre-
cinct.
In $3.50 precincts of the states
$3.50, the vote was recorded:
Wood. 158.40S.
Lowden, 222,9S2.
OF these totals, Wood obtained
1O5 ,4OS of his votes in Cook county.
Senator Johnson's name was writ
ten in many downstate ballots. but
election officials ignored the written
names temporarily in their anxiety
to get the Wood and Lowden totals.
