THE Nam Trade.
The Proposed Pool abandoned as
InpracticabIe.
What the Wheeling Mills are Doing With
Machines and for Trade---The
Special Meeting Of the
Association.

The telegraph, yesterday, brought very
meagre and unsatisfactory account of the
special meeting Of the Western Nail .Asso-
citation, at Pittsburg, but later repsrts are
more complete. As predicted by the REGIS
TER, the proposed pool fell through. Ii was
said to be only theoretical, but the fact of
the matter is, the manufacture of steel nails
made it impossible, as the steel nail mills
would not JOIN. The following account Of
the meeting is from the Pittsburg Dis
patch
The Western Nail Association held a spe-
cial meeting yesterday in the rooms Of the,
Western Iron Association on Fourth ave-
enue. The meeting was evidently intended
as very quiet one, and had it not been for
the fact that reporter happened to see the
crowd leave the building, would have
passed by unnotieed to the newspaper fla
ternity and the general public
Those spoken to in reference to the pur-
port of the meeting referred the questioner
70 Mr.. Armstrong, of j. ID. Weeks Office
Mr. Armstrong was instructed to say that
the Western Nail Association held special
meeting but did nothing.
The fact that representatives were present
from Wheeling Bellaire and other points
outside the city, and that it was special
meeting hardly warranted the assertion
that they did nothing The fact is, quiet
little rupture occurred and lively tilt was
INDUCED in by some of Pittsburgs repre-
sentatives and those from Wheeling. The
pool agreement that was being Matched out
was kicked overheard and each member de-
cided to go into the nail business for him
self. As has been stated Wheeling men
have been selling nails at very low figure;
besides that every nail mill in that city is
increasing the number Of its machines.
Men in this city say that the number of ma
chimes now in operation can easily supply
the demand The object with the Wheel
ing men is to increase their trade by cutting
on the price and in order to supply the de-
mand to increase the number Of machines.
The pool agreement, which has been in
Statu quo for the past three or four months,
was brought up at the meeting yesterday,
with the hope that should it go through,
price cutting and increasing capacity would
beprompty snubbed But to the astonishment
of its advocates, the agreement was con-
signed to the land of the forgotten" to be
thought of no more A member of the as
ISOLATION said last night that the pool agree
ment was not practical, and could not be
lived up to, even were it signed by all the
men in the district ut was the invention of
one man. said he, "who went more on theory
than practical knowledge. ! don't think it
will ever be brought up again. The meet
ing was little stormy at times but every
thing PASSED off harmoniously in the end.
No. l cannot tell you anything more about
it, so you will have to excuse me"

John Il. Booker, of Macon, Ca, writes
In 1873 was attacked by the most raven
Gus sort Of cancerous sores, that ate grea'
holes into my flesh and spread rapidly over

attention; was dosed with mercury and pot
ash until l was so crippled with mercurla
rheumatism that | could scarcely hobble
about: nv throat and mouth we're badly ul
cerated; my hair began to fall out. So
wrecked was my genera! health that ]
became a physical ruin and my life was
burden. For a long time was
bed-ridden, and my suffering was
so intense that | prayed for death as re
lief. | exhausted the whole catalogue OF
patent medicines, in each case following
the directions religiously. Each in turn
seemed to aggravate the malady and none o.
them benefited me in any way When life was
apparently hopeless commenced taking
S. S. S. To this Specific | owe my life
In ten days commenced improving, and
in short time was perfectly well. My
hair has grown out thick; my health
and strength have returned; the ulcers
in nv throat and mouth are entirely
cured; my appetite has returned, and
for the first time in years enjoy my food
Every sore has disappeared from my body.
| weigh as much as / ever did in my life,
and am perfectly healthy in every way. The
very germs of the cancerous affection are
DESTROYED. Not only is the terrible malady
that was preying on my life, and which
every one pronounced incurable, ent irel

fects of the mercury and potash mixtures
that was fed on for years.
