THE IRON MARKET.

CINoINNATI, June 30.-The chaotic com dition of the market last week has been emphasized this week. The resumption of coal mining and coke production have not been as smoothly and fully accomplished as was hoped for, but headway IS being made constantly, and it is reasonably ex- pected that an adequate supply of furnace and foundry coke will be had very soon.
 The break in lake freight rates imparted some stimulus to the ore traffic, and north ern pig iron producers appreciate the ben eft derived, as it reduces their cost that much.
 The situation as to the southern furnaces is mixed, owing to the freight advances obtaining July 1, and the inability of the furnaces in blast to supply No. soft and No. 2 soft and No 2 foundry and No. foundry in anything like the quantity re- quired by the trade. One of the most im- portant companies of the Birmingham dis trict, with four stacks, but no Iron on hand. withdraws from the market until better prices prevail. Another prominent company, with two large stacks, retires from the market until sales can be made at $2.5 per ton above figures current the fortnight. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company heroicaly continues selling for quick delivery, such grades as they have for sale, at prices entirely ac- ceptable to reasonable buyers.
 The ever increasing popularity of the southern foundry irons is evidenced in their decreasing stocks and their inability to supply the demands in this period of minimum consumption.
 The extraordinary activity of all the cast iron pipe works throughout the country explains largely the unusual requirements for soft foundry grades.
 The prosperity of the railroads means the prosperity of the people, and it is to be hoped that the gigantic scheme to congest and paralyze the industry of the whole country because of little local disagree ment at Pullman, H.. will fail,
 The sentiment prevails that trade gem erally will revive after the stock taking and the balancing up at the beginning of the latter half of 1894. Buyers of pig iron may reasonably expect an advance in prices at least sufficient to cover freight advances north and south, and the great expense attending the coal and coke strikes; and when the market shall have revived little, as it will in week, another advance for a margin of profit may be looked for.
 Subject to change, we quote the mar ket for the moment as follows:

 Those who desire the stability of govern ment, the preservation of peace, the se curity of life and of property, recognize, not only that 1t is essential that the states should have this reserve force at the back of the civil authorities, but that it sho uld be brought to the highest point of effi- cency. The time is long past when a member of the state troops requires noth- ing more than the ability to drill and to participate in the social features incident to the service. He must be made of that sterner stuff which faces danger when 1t presents itself. He is the bulwark of our institutions in such emergencies as that through which we have just passed.

SENATOR BUTLER predicts that the next Republican platform will favor free silver and high tariff. But that depends on which faction of the party gains the as- cendaucy in the convention. There is no doubt but that the adherents of Reed will advocate low tariff. The recent letter of Colonel Conger indicates as much. He ad- mits that the campaign of 1892 was lost be- cause of the Mckinley bill, and he thinks the tariff should be reduced. He says that farm laborers average only about S2 day i, while laborers in the manufactures pro- tected by the Mckinley bill get S10 day. When the farmer goes to build a house he must pay for his material five times higher than what he is getting for his labor. There will surely be fight in the Repub- iican party between the high tariff and low tariff factions.

THE old Norsemen thought the workings of nature were miraculous. Nature was so stupeudous in their wild country that it deeply impressed them. They called the mountains, with their avalanches and strange rumblings, gigantic demons. They personifed fire, frost and the tempest. The sun they called god. They thought fire a demon that bit you when you touched 1t. Thunder was the god Thor, and the light ming was the hammer he flung at mortals. Hoar- frost was devil that rode his horses (hail clouds) from his home in the North, and sat combing their names. The negroes of the South have similar belief to these Norsemen. They say the thunder Is God' 8 voice, and the lightning is his face. When f1eecy clouds are flying in the sky they say the wind is riding his milk white horses to water.

TUESDAY NEXT.
No Question as to Result Of Congress
sional Elections.

The voting strength OF Rhode Island as
indicated by recent general elections
Is approximately $4,000, $1,000 in
the First Congressional District,
and 25, ZOO in the Second. Hon. Melville
Bull Is confident that a very large per-
centage OF this vote will come out Tues
day and for himself expects plurality of
1900 in the city OF Providence and as much
more in the rest OF tho First District.
The Repu blican leaders say, in answer
to the charge that they are not doing
anything to make campaign, that there
people have made up their
minds, the result OF a considerable
thinking on their own account since the
last Congressional election, and they will
vote in accordance with their own id eas.
The laboring people have had an expe-
rience to forget which campaign oratory
II not necessary.
The success of Captain Waters in the
municipal election OF Newport is not
taken as Democratic victory but is
Waters victory, secured by personal popu-
tarity, independent OF political party ap-
plication. And the result of that Msyoralty
contest is not an indication OF what New
ports vote will be next Tuesday. lap
ham has been unpopular there since their
fatal accident at The torpedo station over
a year ago when several of the men lost their
lives. At the time Congressman Lapham
was urged to introduce bill asking the
Government TO do something FOR the re-
lief of he families left destitute as the re-
sult of the fatality.
= Those interested are still waiting for
Colonel Laphsm to do something about
1t. IL happened that all of the men VINO
were killed were Democrats.
On the other hand Melville Bull is pop
ular with Newporters and they are CRATE
ful 10 him for his efforts in behalf OF the
various interests OF their city.
In the Second District everything is all
one way and there is nothing TO talk
about. With Arnold and Garvin, Repub-
lican victory Ia a foregone conclusion.
Hon. james A. Walker of Worcester
and Senators Aldrich and Wetmore will
be the principal speakers at the dinner
end reception in the Trocadero
tomorrow noon. The invitations
which the Republican State Central
Committee has sent out for this
altering are confined strictly to- the
members OF he Republican committees OF
the cities and towns, the Governor AID
general officers of the State and the mem
bers Of the II gislnture.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Three Masked Men Looted
An Express Car.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Ia special to the
Post Dispatch from Birmingham, Ala,
says: Passenger train No. 3 OF
the Kansas ChS, Memphis Bir-
mingham railroad was held up at 1
o'clock this morning few miles east of
New Albany, Miss, by three men and the
express car looted. Conductor w. b.
Leonard, who was in charge OF the train,
has made the following statement:
my train pulled out OF New Albany
about o'clock this morning. Shortly
after getting under full headway the train
began TO slack mp and was soon at
standstill.
"Three masked men had boarded the
tender of the engine at New Albany, and
covering Engineer Campbell and Fireman
Alexander with pistols, compelled then
10 stop in the woods east OF New Albany.
"When the train stopped / was in the
baggage car. went TO the side door and
opened it, only TO be greeted with several
pistol shots from one OF the robbers.
closed the door, but the robbers were al
raady In the baggage car with pistols COW
sring me.
Express Messenger Jeannete's car was
forced open and we Hcre forced to give up
the contents OF the ale. Putting the
booty in q bag, the robbers backed out
OF the door and went to the woods
with their pistols still pointed at us. We
did not see their faces at any time"
Officers of the Southern Express
Company gave it out that only
lot of cheap jewelry and vouchers con-
stituted the robbers booty. 1t is suspect
ed, however, that the express company is
lying low on the subject for their own
reasons.
