Little Coke Presses Market.

The furnace coke mar;st has devel-
oped more stagnation - week and the
foundry coke market r.owed a little
activity. There is no issue as to prices,
there simply being no demand. due to
jack of demand for pig iron, the latter
being in the dullest period OF It's history.
Nearly all blast furnaces that use coke
purchased in the Connellsville region are
entirely out of blast, and of the few not
actually cold some are banked and are
using only enough coke to keep them
warm. On account of light operation
of the merchant ovens for so long a
time there is little coke pressing the
market, and such coke finds the usual
outlet in being sold for heating pur-
poses. The market on heating coke
seems TO be about 81. In the absence
of any definite development that would
Justify change the same market prices
can be quoted that were quoted a week
ago. as follows: Spot furnace. A.OG5;
spot foundry, s5.75d6.50; contract fur
mace, $5G5.1: contract foundry. $3.50.
The Pittsburgh district coal market Is
In much the same shape as Is the Con-
nellsville coke market. there being hardly
any current demand for coal. A price
of s2.50 for mine run steam coal seems
to be rather an outside price, there being
sacrifice sales at less than that price.
The arrival of the lake navigation sea-
son will improve the demand. but even
ot that a buyers market Is not expected
until the middle of the year.
Independent plate companies report
very little impetus to business on account

&C. A few carload orders were taken
for as much as 2.40 cents. and the Car
negie Steel Company and certain inde-
pendent makers are quoting the old price
of 2.65 cents. The United States Steel
Corporation Is receiving specifications at
fair rate. although new business is
scarce. An inquiry by an independent
company represented 500 tons Of plates.
and action on 1t will not be forthcoming
until next month. An order for 900 tons
this week specified mostly plates and

FLOUR MILL IN
 INTERIOR |S NEARLY COMPLETED

The building now under construction to house the flour mill which was ship ped to Fairbanks last fall by the flour Mill Corporation, branch of the Tan ana Valley Agricultural Association, is rapidly nearing completion.
 The mill house is situated on Garden island, beside the yard tracks of the railroad, and abuts upon the Palmer and Field warehouse which was origin ally intended for the mill, but later found to be unsuitable. The Palmer and Field building of two floors for the principal for storage and other purposes in conjunction with the mill ing.
 The new building is a structure of considerable proportion, consisting of two floors for the principal machin- cry, large we'll lighted basement, and an attic. The foundations are of heavy timber, and are set in concrete. The supportig posts will later be re- placed by concrete.
 M. D. Snodgrass, formerly superin- tendent of the Fairbanks agricultural experiment station, and who is now en. gagged in commercial farming, is in active charge of the enterprise. Mir. Snodgrass states that the construction of the building, which was begun by the contractors, MT. Fischer and MT. Camirand, early in the month, will be completed in another week and that the installation of the machinery will then be started. Every part is there, and ready to be placed 50 there will be little time necessary to have the mill in operation.
 The power will be furnished by a boiler and steam engine, thus keeping the fuel money in the country, as would not be the case should a gas engine have been decided upon to fur nish the power. A boiler and engine house will be costructed on the north ern side of the building, thus eliminat- ing any extra handling of coal, wood hauled by train.
 The flour mill, when ready to oper- ate will represent, with the buildings, an investment of approximately seven- teen thousand dollars. Of this amount only three thousand remains to be sub scribed.
 The mill in operation, says MT. Snodgrass, will mean a new valuation on farming lands in the interior. He believes that when it becomes possible to have grain converted into flour and mill products, each quarter section of land in the district will immediately increase in value by at least $1 1,00O. The mill will create a new market for the farmer, who will in turn supply the local demand for grain products. thus keeping the money, which now
