THE IRON SITUATION.

Pig ironis general y stronger, particularly
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Southern irons
are not being pushed. There is growing
confidence in both the iron and steel trades.
About 10000 tons OF steel rails have been
placed in Western and Eastern markets.
The additional allotment, 200, 900 tons, will
cover requirements for the next six weeks.
The over-sold condition of British rail mills
may shift some Canadian and Mexican
orders to American markets on basis Of
S27 or S27 so at mill.
While sugar prices continue to advance,
having gained A(97-16c this week on
smaller visible stocks, unfavorable crop re-
ports, frmer cables and pronounced activity
for refined, interest now centers on what we
are to receive and where it is to come from.
Refners' stocks are greatly depleted, and
the outlook is for demand for unusually
large supplies, with a dearth of them IN
sight. Sugar Trust certificates have ad-
vanced from SS5 so in March to S110, with
higher figures in prospect. Large coffee
crop reports and light distributive and
speculative demand again depressed the
staple, the decline being about 1c.
The Government cereaIcrop report tended
to depress prices, being interpreted as very
favorable, but later weather and crop re-
ports, backed by speculative influences
served to advance wheat on the week 13z@
&C. Indian corn has been lower after an
advance on light deliveries, but shows a
gain of sc. Rye is up 1zc on bet
ter export demand. All Australian
wheat exports have ceased, supplies on hand
being needed at home.

The magnificent playing of Levy
is a great card and attracts crowds to
the Exposition. He is the great con-
netist of the world, and was never in
better form than at present. 1t is q
new experience to watch the hush
which comes over the multitude pack
ed into main hall, when this great
musician raises his cornet to his lips,
and as he proceeds to perform inn
possibilities, to whisper as light as the
zephyr's murmur to the rose, or ring
out a challenge like him whose "blast
upon a bugle horn was worth ten
thousand men," the excitement be-
comes painfully intense. We have
rarely seen, and then only when Patti,
Sumbrich or Nelson have made some
great coup, such an ovation as greet
ed Levy when he made his bow on
Monday, and there has been no abate-
ment since.-Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, Oct. 1, 1888.

Offices and business places, organized
an athletic club, and fitted up room

to those who are confined to offices all
day. 1t also combines recreation
with amusement, and must have a
tendancy to produce friendly freelings
between the members. The society is

on the Hubbard Lake railroad, a
mammoth bald headed eagle swooped
down on dog. A girl who was en-
ployed at the camp, heard the bowls
of the dog, and, grabbing a club,
she ran to the rescue of the
canine. A lively battle ensued be-
tween the girl and dog on one side
and the big eagle on the other, which
finally resulted in the eagle being
killed. 1t was a brave act on the

heavy overcoat. Hisskull was crack
ed, besi1es which he was severely
bruised on many parts of the body.

bowling at the rate of IA to 80 miles
an hour, is not a pleasant thing to en-
counter. Manitoba is welcome to her
