Condition of the Iron Market
New York reports in the Iron Age that iron markets are in extraordinary condition with many makers withdrawing prices or listing high quotes. Lake Bessemer ore price gains are unlikely, while pig iron sales in Pittsburg occur at full prices and foundry iron buyers seek available stock amid heavy foreign inquiries and rising ocean freights. Consolidation of the Norfolk and Western furnace plants under Virginia Tron, Coal and Coke Co. could revive idle capacity, with a few eastern Pennsylvania furnaces preparing to operate.

Oarsmen Debate Paris Trip For 1900 Regatta
New York January 19 The National Association of Oarsmen may send this year’s eight oared crew to Paris for the international regatta next year. A meeting at the Marlboro hotel in New York will consider the Paris voyage with members of clubs and non members invited to debate though voting will be restricted. The Philadelphia barge crew hopes to win again after two consecutive victories while New York and Baltimore clubs prepare strong bids. If approved, crews from Pennsylvania will decide who goes, with Philadelphia favored though others press for broader representation. An amendment proposing a shell race allowing last year’s winner to challenge would widen the field, potentially including Worcester and other strong crews.
