What the Iron Age Has to Say
About the Outlook for the Future.
Make Up of the D., L. & W. Board
for Today Superintendent Russell
Has Arrived in the City Views of
Superintendent Salisbury with Ref
erence to the Viaduct The Coal
Trade.
While a cood many in the trade seem
disposed to think that the bottom will
drop out of iron and steel prices leau
Inp authorities, although not taking a
very hopeful view of conditions, agree
that the 'situation is not so bad as
many believe. The Iron Ago declares:
"The iron trade presents little of an
encouraging character. Prices con
tinue to droop, except on a limited
list of steel products, such as rails
and structural shapes, on which old
rates are firmly maintained. The
withholding of specifications on eon
tracts is contributed to the further
disquiet of manufacturers. This can
not be helped, however, as the same
policy is being carried out from con
numers ot highly finished products
down the line to the users of raw ma
terials. "We have some indications at Im
portant trade centers of an increased
demand for various kinds of iron and
steel, probably due to the fact that
certain buyers, enjoying a good de
mand for their own products, regard
the reduction in prices so far mad
Mitlicieht to induce them to moder
ately cover their requirements. A fair
business Is being done in steel rails,
and some excellent contracts have
been placed for structural shapes. It
Is expected that ralhoad companies
v 111 largely be obliged to purchase
cars and other essential material this
summer to meet their fall necessities,
und a much heavier railroad business
is cNpeeted to retult In consequence
of the shrinkage which has taken place
In Iron and steel prices. These prices
are no longer prohibitory, as was so
frequently alleged not long since."

be the best plan to permit both rail

the city take care of whatever dam

The Coal Trade.
Quietness pervades tho anthracite
coal trade, but this is natural at this
season of the year, when there is no
incentive for heavy purchases by con
sumers. Recent circular rrlccs are be
ing firmly adhered to, and no indica
tions ar apparent of any deviation
from this policy. That authority, tho
Coal Trade Journal, pays the future
of the trade Is bright, adding:
"Demand for tonnage av.'U bo as
great this year as last, when tho
proper season for shipment arrives,
while prices are considerably higher
than the average for 1S0D." The soft
coal trade still continues to occupy a
strong position. Tonnage haa been
none too great at any point of pro
duction, and there Is a scarcity of
some grades In some places.
Our Tegular customers occasionally
call at other stores to see what they
can do for thorn.
We've no objection to make to that.
It's only right and proper to make
comparisons and find out whether we
are "up to mark" or not.
We never suffer hy comparison,
and the fact of having compared Our
Clothes with others only makes our
customers feel better satisfied.

to put the new train service Into oper
