The iron trade still continues unsettled
and unsatisfactory. In eastern markets
crude iron Is tending downward, while
in some western markets I'M upward
tendency seems to he at work. Only q
few pig:iron makers are soliciting large
orders for future delivery at present
prices. The opinion prevails among
makers and brokers that when the spring
and summer demand sets in the depress-
ion will disappear aud firm prices pre-.
vail. Confidence Is stronger this week
among makers, and prices fortunately
have reached their lowest probable
limit. Large consumers are watching
the market very closely with view Of
contracting for extensive lots for tho
next three or four months In the event
Of OIL improving tendency maniiesting

prices two weeks ago have either
Withdrawn from the market or
have advanced their prices. This Is
tho strongest feature ut present.

placed under contract in western and
eastern mills during the past six days at
minimum price oil S27 east aud. $40 In
the west. Bar iron is In moderate do

Ralph Waldo Emerson was not only

One day a short. thick man, dirty

GARDENS IN JupEA.
Thsy Played No Conspicuous Part In Royal

Thsy Played No Conspicuous Part In Royal
and Priestiy Life.
We may conclude that while gardens
were known and priced In Judea, they
played no such conspicuous part In
royal and priestly life as they did In
most Oriental countries. while the
private citizen. usually devoted 10 agri-
culture and devoid of wealth. rarely.
IL ever. created them on an extensive
scale. Moreover. we can divine that
the royal gardens themsel es were
primarily places for the propagation
of fruit trees and other useful plants.
Even the poetical imagery of the Bible
reveals this fact, speaking much more
Of frilts. sweet-smelling herbs and
scryicable trees than OF plants priced
for their beauty or for the luxury OF
the shade they gave. Flowers were
not required In religious ceremonials.
but incense was. and odoriferous herbs
are constantly referred TO in the Scrip
lures, sometimes as very precious
things. A ''balsam garden" at Jericho
was important enough 10 be noticed
by Strabo. but in reading authors of
his time we must not forget the great
influence which Greek and Roman
conquest had then had upon the
world. OF course flowers can not
have been neglected In Judea-there
Is no civilized time or country when
this has been the case. But their role
was private, not public; aud plants are

have filled his gardens with exotics OBJ

the mention OF planting strange

dictate that they were especially valued.
The Levitical law against tho propa-
cation Of mixed species must. how
ever, have stood la the way OF such
horticultural operations as have en-
riched the garden dora OF modern peo-
pies. The Jews had peculiarly keen
sense for the beauty and grandeur OF
natural scenery aud OF wild-growing
forms OF vegetation. Why. then, were
their gardens less numerous and inn
portant than those OF other Oriental
nationsP Partly. ~ | have said. be-
cause OF their relative poverty and
simple ways OF life, but partly because,

kind was vitality essential to the

lutely outlawed. II was prescribed as
