IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Local Prices the Same and Trans
actions Uniformly Light.
BUYERS READY TO PLACE ORDERS
For Future Delivery, But the Producers
Do Not Seem at all Anxious.
REPORTS FROM THE OTHER MARKETS

The features OF the iron and steel trade
are practically the same as they were week
ago. This is the quiet time OF the year and
transactions are uniformly light at this
time. Bessemer iron is firm and sales are re-
ported at our outside quotations. Buyers are
ready to place orders ahead, but there is no
disposition on the part of producers to deal
in futures. The extremely hot weather of
the past week has had the effect of curtail-
ing consumption somewhat but prices have
been well sustained in spite of hot weather.
There is an active demand for structural iron
and prices are a shade higher than last week.
Nails are firm but unchanged. Demand has
been active for the past week, and prospects
are good for an advance in prices.
There is no change in the situation as regards
steel rails Markets are steady at last weeks
quotations. At the Edgar Thomson Works
there are no signs of let up to orders and
prospects are good for the balance of the
year. The daily output of steel rails at these
works is not less than 1,3O0 tons, and when Fur
mace is completed the output is expected to
reach l5OO tons daily The completion of is
promised within few weeks. Wire rods,
which were scarce and very trm few weeks
ago are now at a stand. The undertone of iron
and steel markets is strong and outlook Tor
tall trade is good.
Producers who shade prices are those who
are compelled so to do by necessity which
knows no law. Standard brands OF iron are
0rmly held.
The latest quotations follow:
Structural Iron ANGLES, e. 2O tees, 2.S5c: beams
and channels 4 lOc; sheared bridge plates, steel,
265c; universal mill plates, iron, z.S6c; renned

While slight concessions may be made for

of pig iron is apparently being well taken, and

soon be necessity of resuming. For this reason
the furnaces are not put out of blast. No

TOADYIsM IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Semi Barbnrous Customs of the Old
World Held In Reverence There.

The Semi Barbnrous Customs of the Old
World Held In Reverence There.
Punxsutawney spirit.l
Philadelphia makes US tired. She lacks
the proud spirit which should characterize
the free citizens of great and glorious Re-
public. There is an element of fossilizcd
toadyism there which, to great extent, in
ftuences the thought of the entire city. She
clings too much to the past. The semi-bar-
barous customs of the Old World are still
held in great reverence there. Hereditary
titles are regarded as much superior
to the titles of nobility won
by the force of industry and genius. All
this is inferred from the fact that when a
nice PhiIadelphia girl marries count, or
some other scion of the so-called noble
houses of the Old World, Philadelphia goes
wild over it. In our judgment there are
many Philadelphia girls worthy OF flower
of American youth, and when they form an
alliance with the worn-out stock of ancient
tyranny. the effete and seedy relics of cor
rupted blood and dwarfed brains, there is
more cause for weeping than for rejoicing.
But Philadelphia always was that way.
During the Revolutionary War. when that
city was occupied by the British, the Phlla-
delphians, as q rule, seemed to enjoy it.
The soldiers experienced no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the best there was going, while the
officers were received into the highest So
ciety, and were extremely popular. While
Washington's army was starving at Valley
Forge, the Philadelphians were holding
grand balls in honor of English officers and
indulging in all sorts of expensive frivolities.
Washington complained of their sullen,
almost hostile attitude toward the patriots,
while the English boasted of being petted
and pampered and lionized. In Boston it
