A new steel is said to have been pro-
duccd at Sheffield, England, which is
expected to be of incaculable value to
the manufacturing and railroad world.
1t is said to be made "by adding from
z to 90 per cent. OF the ordinary ferro-
manganese of commerce to iron either
wholly or to good extent decarboniz.
ed and refined and treated by any OF
the ordinary processes, OR to steel pro-
duced by such processes. y 1t is stated
that q small test bar containing IL per
cent. of manganese was bent double
when cold, and was sufficiently hard
to turn iron; than an AK containing the
same percentage, and which had never
been hardened or tempered, cut into a
bar of iron half an inch square. A cor
respondent OF the american MannJac-
turer, giving these facts, says that t.e
steel is capable of being hammered oil
rolled tho same as ordinary steel, and
showed no magnetic qualities. Ii these
accounts arc in any measure correct.
the discovery is likely to prove OF great
economic Importance.

MulaEEEE!!

Why do we sell the best Ponce Poto
Rico Molasses for SOC per gallon?
1t needs no argument to demonstrate
that it is better for us to sell an article
that pays us good profit, than one
that pays us almost nothing. But per-
haps it never occurred to dealers Git
did not to MS till suggested by n friend
we admit it) that the trade was driven to
buying just the poorest paying article in
their entire stock. We refer to the mo-
lasses and sugar business. We sell
more sugar and less molasses because
sugar is so cheap. There is the mis-
take. Sugar is cheap and so is moas-
scs at wholesale. Dealers never find it
out in selling at retail till obliged to.
We speak plain, as we believe in telling
things as they are. If we make half
cent on sugar, what is our percentage
of profit? Seven per cent, what is
double that percentage Cor II per
cet) on molasses. Take Il molasses
that costs 45c, and ID per cent is 6 $40
cents u gallon. But how is molasses
sold that costs 4jc? Probably all the
way from GO to SOC, or in other words
getting from 33 l-3 to IS per cent
profit. The result is that molasses to
the consumer is not cheap and they
buy sugar, where in many cases molas-
SEES would be preferable if sold as it
should beat a fair profit. You say
you have got off the notion of using
molasses, using sugar instead. Now
we propose to bring about q change,
and put molasses on the ground it
should hold in connection with the
sugar business, partially from selfish
motive and partially for the good of
our customers-for It's mutually benc
fetal. Molasses as it is selling to-day,
with a fair profit to the retailer, is
cheaper for the consumer than sugar.
Economy is from choice, and in many
cases from necessity the order of the
day, and now is the time for you to
exercise it by buying molasses at a fair
price instead of sugar. We sell our
molass,s as we sell all our goods on
the principle of Large sales ut small
profits, for prompt pay" We do a
cash business, and can sell from 3 to
10 per cent less than those who run
accounts from six months to year.
Why? Because we turn it over three
OR four times to their once, l 0 per cent
three or four times being as good as
30 or 40 once. Do not stick to the
old time notion Of buying goods here or
there, simply because he is a good iel-
low, has always used you well, ETC.,
bur go where you can buy the best
goods for the least money. We do.

We are occasionally favored with a
request to do more or less gratuitous
advertising for the Boston Globe.
While we believe in and practice jour-
halistic courtesy, to extend the favors
asked for in this instance would be to
conflict with the business rules which
prevail in every we'll conducted news
paper Office. Why should we give to
the Boston Globe what our liberal ad-
vertising patrons pay for? Indeed, it
looks to us as though the Fairfield

ing these requests as "Monumental
