Finished Iron aud Steel
Among the Commission Men.

The ''signs OF the times" so far as the grain
uiarkst4s concerned, have not changed one iota
since week ago. II j. true that the price OF
wheat at Chicago has nuotuated considerably
and there have been not few who have pre-
dicted speedy and permanent improvement in
prices, bat these predictions have ema-
mated from the sanguine and ever hope
full who are always ready to jump II conclu sions
without much thought or calculation. Viewing
the whole circumstances OF the present and cal
culating the just aud natural probabilities there
does not appear TO be any firm and substantial
basis upon which to build up hopes OF higher
prices this side Of next harvest. Those who look
for rapid advance and who predict May wheat
viii sell al a dollar, would remind OF a pre-
dietion made by the GLOBE year ago, that May
wheat would sell at SOc and the assertion then
made that the intrinsic value OF bushel
Of wheat not more than
soc. II is just possible that the dollar
men have the trade dollar OF our daddies in view,
with the motto "In God We Trust--for the
other 20c. II is our strong conviction that May
wheat will not sell for soc excep; on paper. and
it is hardly possible that 1t will reach this figure

B usiness Depression in Pennsylvania

PIrTsBURo, Dec. % This Afternoon the
nployes Of the National Tube Works com
pany at McKeesport, Pa, were notified tina
the Y rious departments would close down
tomorrow evening for an indefinite period.
Assistant General Manager E. c.. Converse,
in interview, stated that the scarcity Of riders
was the only rea son for the suspension. He
was IN able 10 say when the works would re-
su me, as the out look was very unfavorable.
He hoped, however, that few days, or wern
at the farthest, would warrant resumption.
Trade at present is very dull, aud for some
days the force has been utilized turning out
material for the company's own use, il or
der to keep the works In operation. This
suspension will throw out OF employment
over 1000 men, and will withdrew from Nc
Keesport trade about 800. 0ee every month,
which was paid aud spent By the employees.
DiiwOrth, Porter & Co., spike workers, viii
shut down to-morrow for an indefinite per-
od. Lack Of orders is given as the reason
or the suspension

The Senatorial Orators.

Reporter Murphy, the veteran stem 0
grapher of the United States Senate
SAYS: ''Webster was a very slow talker,
and he would not average over 100
words in minute. Henry Clay spoke
much faster, rolling out about $50 words
to the minute. Calhoun was also slow
until he became reused up with enthu-
siasm of his subject, when his words
would flow more rapidly. The present
average of speaking in the United States
Senate is about $50 words per minute,
though there are several speakers who
utter over 200. Among the fastest speak
ers at present are Senators Beck, Haw-
ley, Plumb and Morgan. Beck leads the
list. Senator George, CT Mississippi, is
perhaps the slowest. Some of them are
very careful about their revision, and
others pay no attention to them after
they are once spoken. Senator Edmunds
never revises a speech, but some of the
other Senators look the manuscript care
fully over before it goes to the press.
One night | heard John Bell, of Ten
nessee, make a speech when the president
of the Senate, himself and | were the
only ones in the chamber. 1t wasa long
night session, and all the rest of the
Senators were loafng either in the cloak
room or in the restaurant. Bell never
theless roared out his speech with all the
eloquence and earnestness of a r~evivalist
preacher. The ~perspiration rolled down
his face, he tore off his collar and
preached away as though so, 900 people
were listening to him. Yet, there have
been many funny speeches here, but that
was one of the funniest. One of the
fastest speakers of the Senate was Nj.
Sargent, our late minister to Berlin. He
could speak for two hours averaging 200
words a minute. There was a debate
here some years ago on the District of
Columbia bonds which lasted about four
hours, and which by actual calculation
averaged between 1872 and 200 words a

Grating Teeth.

When the unfortunate woman had
ceased gagging the dentist continued:
You see this method of transplanting

"How do you do it?" inquired the
reporter.
""Fhe mode is as follows: The indi-
vidual with the super1uous sound tooth
and he with the decayed molar each have
a tooth pulled at the same time, mated
together, and the fleshly-drawn good
