ufacturers seem To be alive Co the fact
that the market is low one that while
probably there will he enough iron TO go
round without any trouble, they believe
the only fiuctuation in this grade OF
metal must bc an upward one, inasmuch
as the cost limit IN what prices are down
To at the present time. Some inquiry
for southern iron WAS seen, and lew
transactions were closed, but were not
noticeable for their size, and can hardly
be said TO reflect the southern market.
No large transactions whatever have
been reported TO us. Altogether the po-
sition OF the market can be said 20 be the
same. The same conditions prevail at
Cincinnati ns described in last report.
Other furnaces have joined the inactive
list in consequence OF the coke strikes,
and there are increasing signs oil scnrcity
of iron in certain quarters. There has
been a moderate increase in production
in the south, but there are still many idle
stacks. Prices are up about seyenty-fiye
cents per ton both north and south.
Some sales have been made at a greater
advance and Others are reported ut a
little under the full advance. The ten
dency OF the market liz toward greater
trmness, as IL is felt that light produc-
ton and increasing stocks must make
their influence felt. Ohio softeners and
charcoal irons are moving rather more
freely, but at unchanged prices. General
consumption OF iron and steel rs some
what curtailed, but runs beyond expecta-
tions that had been formed. Sales at St.
Louis continue light aud prices are some
what better than the first week in Febru-
airy. The Louisville market has been

will resume mining operations the first

will probably be placed.

A Twilight Story.


"ArSrlE, will you tell story = said mylttle
niece Of three,
As the early winter twilight fell around US
silently.
So answered to her pleading "Once wien
was very small,
With my papa and my mamma | went out to
make call
And lady, pleased to see US, gayeme quite a
large bouquet,
Which l carried homeward proudly smil-
ing all along the way.
"Soon meet two other children, clad in rag,
and sad Of face,
Who grew strangely, wildly joyous as near
ed their standingplace.
Twas so good TO see the flowers Give US
one-oh, one! they cried.
But l passed them without speaking left
them with their wish denied.
Yet the mem'ry of their asking haunted me
by night and day
Give us one! heard them saying, even il.
my mirthful play.
"Stll mourn, because in childhood l refused
to give flower;
Did not make those others happy when had
it in my power
Suddenly l ceased my story. Tears we re in
my neice's eyes
Tears Of tenderness and pity-while she plan
ned sweet surprise:
al will send flower tomorrow to those little
children dear"
Could tell her that their childhood had been
gone this many year.
