ADVANCE In IRON.
A Rise of Fifty Cents Ton Within n
Week-The Production of the Mills
Sold for Months Ahead.
Philadelphia Record.

Prices in iron are advancing. There
has been a general rise of 81 so per ton
during the last two months, and an adj
vance OF 80 cents within q week The
demand has increased so much that
producers say they could sell five tons
for every one which they are turning
out. All the rail-mills in the state are
full OF orders, while structural iron is in
1ch demand that many of the larger
mills are engaging other mills to fill
their orders.
The demand for steel rails has in
duced the makers to take more indie
pendent stand than they have occupied
for some time, and this Of itself has q
tendency to maintain and push present
prices. Most Of the mills in the state
already have their production sold for
many months ahead. One of the mills
in the state has had to decline nearly
10000 tons during the last few days, al
though prices would have been satisfac-
tory had they been able to execute
the order. Orders are in the
market for several thousand tons OF
iron rails. The Thomas Iron Com
pany have sold one-third Of their yearly
product, while the Crane Iron company
are so we'll sold up that they decline
further business except on the basis of
SIS for No. l. In structural iron con-
tract for 25O tons of beams has been re-
celved by firm in this city, and the
same house has been awarded con-
tract for 200 tons of plates and shapes
for Baltimore. Inquiries are numer-
Gus for all descriptions, and it is antici-
pated that the demand will be fully
equal to the capacities of the mills dur
ing the summer months. Large sales of
sheet iron for Immediate delivery being
made. The demand for bar iron is
very strong, and dealers anticipate that
higher prices will soon prevail. An Or
der for 5000 cars for the Central rail-
road of New Jersey has been given out
to different firms, and this, in connec-
ton with orders previously on hand,
has brought large demand for bars,
axles, etc. ......
One of the largest machine-tool es-
adjustments in the city are authority
for the statement that the demand for
heavy machinery is greater than for
several years past. This firm has on
its books orders for eighteen machines,
the cost of each one of which exceeds
$4,000. This fact indicates a future
heavy consumption ofiron in establish
ments requiring the use of powerful
tools and machines. Altogether, the
outlook of the iron trade is most
promising one.

she said it, her yung man got red like a

Some pidgins carry letters, same as the

Next day, wenever that girl herd the

to the manicure results in a treatment
merely preparatory. The hands are
placed for about ten minutes in luke
warm solution. The flesh about the
nails is thus softened, and is then skill
fully raised from the nail end cut close
with pair Of circular flesh
cutters. The nails are then COW
cred with deep tinted po-
made, which, though washed gently off
in a minute or two leaves its blush be-
hind. This is succeeded by a grayish
powder, which, in turn, is rubbed off
lightly and swiftly by buffer or wash
leather pad, giving a fine polish to the
nail. Lastly, the nail tips are filed into
the pointed or round shape, according
to individual fancy. The principal err
rors to be avoided, says the manicure,
in the care of the nails is the use of the
knife or scissors in either cleaning or
cutting. The nails should never be cut,
but always filed, and never cleaned ex-
cept with something hard and smooth,
like ivory, which cannot erase the pro-
tective lining of the nail. Of course,
the nails should not be bitten-scarcely
any one addicted to this nervous and
vulgar habit needs to be told this. They
should also be guarded against bruises,
which are the cause of the unsightly
white spots; neither should the flesh
about the nails be cut by ones self, as
very sore fingers may be caused by
carelessness In this particular. The
nails in prime condition should be
curved, and not flat; long and narrow,
with the delicate white crescent outline
at the base, rosy in hue and glistening
like mirror. Here then is the stand
ard which the regular patrons of the
manicure uphold, and more or less of
the points constituting which may be
achieved by each individual herself, at
the expense of some care and not little
time. -i-. , r..E

THE NEXT CENSUS.
The Valuation of Property in the Unit
ed States has Decreased Three Billion
Dollars in the Last Decade.
Especial Washington kilograms. |

1t is believed by those who have Civ
Ell close attention to the subject that
the federal census next year will reveal
a condition of things far from fattering
to our national pride, and not conduct
i've to boastfulness. For the first time
in our history the census Of 1880 will
show that in ten years OF toll aud accu-
mutation we have apparently not gain
ed cent, and will be poorer in 1880
than we were in 1870. That is, the re-
turns Of national wealth in 1880 will be
less than in 1870, a condition of things
unparalleled in our history. The CEN
sus of 1870 was taken in the midst of the
imitation and expansion period, when
every man who owned property put up
on it a fictitious valuation, although at
the time business matters were SO flour
ishing as 10 deceive the very best, and
ninety-nine men out of 6. hundred
thought it was permanent prosperity.
The shrinkage since then has been en-
ormous, and the majority of men now
find that their property is not worth as
many dollars as they thought it was in
1870.
In very nearly all Of the states and
most of the territories, the assessed val
uation of property is much less than IN
1870. There is of course vast differ
ence between the "true valuation" of
property as returned in the census and
the assessed valuation by states, diff
ference amounting to more than one
half in 1870, but still the assessed valu-
alton affords an approximate criterion
of what the ftrue" or census valuation
will be.
With these figures for guide, the fol
lowing table is compiled, which is be-
lieved to be an approximate estimate
of the country by states in 1880:
