The assertion that the country has been retrograding since 1878, when 1t is charged that silver was demonetized, is not borne out by statistics.

CINCINNATI IRON MARKET.

Cincinnati, April 13-The improved tone of the market continues. Buying is more free Shipments are increasing in volume. Old orders that have been hung up because of foundries having no work are returned to the active list. The feel ing is almost universal that the lowest point of this greatest depression known to the history of the iron trade has pos itively been reached and that contracts may now be placed without any danger of repeating the familiar experience of the past four years.
 The buying now current is smaller in volume than 1t was in March, but wider in range. Two or three quite large buy CTS are in the market, at the close of the week, but generally the transactions run in lots of one carload up to 800 tons. The interest of buyers is stirred to some ex- tent by the speculative activity in other markets, and the advances already scored in petroleum, beef, cotton, leather. etc. But in spite of this the most con- servative spirit prevails and very few or ders are placed that are not to cover work actually taken or in sight.
 AS to prices, BeSsemer pig has ad- vanced 50 to 50 cents from the lowest point, and mill iron in the valleys and Pittsburg nearly as much. But sales are very slow at the advanced figures. In the south there is a distinctiyely firm tone and a rigid refusal to make any conces- sions from regular figures. The firmness is also increasing daily under heavy sales but there is no advance in quotations.
 In spite of the hopeful features above indicated, the situation is far from rosy. The railroads seem as far as ever from placing orders for needed supplies. Many foundries have less work in sight than a month or two ago. Values are on so low a range that from the ore digger to the finished product it is a question less of making profits than of avoiding losses. month or two of continued cheerful talk and growth of general business throughout the country, with good crop prospects, may clear the way for perma- nently better things.

Major Mclaughlin, who is an ex-Fed- eral. and has lived in Birmingham since the war and has prospered, thinks it a good idea for the ex-Federaf soldiers to come South. They should buy small farms. and with little exertion could live well. They are getting old now and are not able to work much. They most de- sire a genial climate, hea1thful atmos- phere and the pleasure of tending a gar. den and orchard. These the South af- lords. Major Mclaughlin says when he located in Birmingham his health was poor but this climate has given him wig orous health.

First Methodist.

Both services at the First Methodist church yesterday were largely attended, and very appropriate.
 At night pr. Morris preached from the third chapter of Pauls Epistle to the Philippians. |
 He said that in this epistle the strang- est prayer ever uttered by mortal was sent up. He also said that strange say ings were characteristic of Paul. for he was always uttering them. . This, he ar- gued, was because the mind of this great man ran in strange channels.
 His sermon was principally upon the suffering that Christians had to undergo for he said that whomsoever the Lord loveth He chasteneth.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
City Assessor Linderman and
Superintendent Borden
Clash.
Abandonment of the Union for
Practical Progress - City Hall
Cornice Work Criticized.

Superintendent l. L. Borden of the Arte-
sian Water Works and City Assessor J. C.
Linderman had clash yesterday before
the Board of Equalization over the assess
ment of the Artesian Water Works prop
erty. Assessor Linderman was many
years ago an employee of the water works
and on his resignation was not friendly
toward the water company. Mr.. Borden
imagines that the Assessor is trying to
''get back at him" by greatly increasing
his assessments. Both gentlemen lost their
tempers and shook their fists in each
others face. For a time it looked as
though blood would be spilled. The
uperintendent characterized the Assessor
as liar, and the latter retaliated by cali
ing the superintendent q coward. The
affair completely upset the equalizers and
the application was laid over until this
morning.
The total reduction for two days from
the City Assessors figures is $13,275.
Practical Progress Union Abandoned.
The Alameda Union for Practical Prog
ress disbanded at its meeting Monday
night, and Rev. George R. Dodson was
requested to prepare a statement of the
reasons therefor. The idea was to unite
the moral forces of the society represented
by churches and labor organizations and
to promote special reforms. The union
was called upon to ignore all theoretical
differences and work together for common
good. However, Mr.. Dodson thinks that
the attempt to induce people to ignore
religious differences for the sake of the
common good is premature. After having
met all outstanding obligations $40 re-
manned, and the executive committee was
directed to cxpend that amount in the
purchase and distribution of literature ex-
planning the principles of direct legislation,
otherwise known as the initiative and
referendum.

HELPING Mr.. MOREHOUSE
Seventh-Street Depot Tugned
Into an Overland"
Office.
A Railroad Effort to Avoid the City
Assessment of the Local
Line.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !
800 Broadway. August l3.

800 Broadway, August Is.
The Southern Pacific Company is pro-
tecting itself from having the Seventh
street line assessed as local streetcar road
by having it turned into al overland ticket
office.
This morning in bright gilt letters the
words Local Ticket Office" appeared over
the old-time window where everything has
been sold for months, and over an inside
window appeared the words Overland
Ticket Office" A great deal is expressed
by these little notices.
When the railroad attorneys were before
the City Council two weeks ago pleading
and threatening for reduction OF the as
sessment of the Seventh-street road from
SGT, 900 to $40 because if was part of the
main line system some pointed questions
were asked.
Attorney Baker was asked if the Seventh
street road was part of the main line lie
replied that it was. Then he was asked if
a man in Kansas could purchase a ticket
to Seventh street, Oakland. Mr.. Baker re-
piled that he could not. Another question
the railroad attorney, and he replied with
threat that If the Council did assess the
road il would simply be a waste of time, as
the State board assessed it as part of the
system, and that took all power out of the
hands of the city officials.
Councilman Bassett asked some more
questions and the matter was dropped.
The company is evidently not quite certain
Of it's position, and to help its case has
placarded the Seventh-street depot as an
overland office.
The ordinance making it illegal to collect
| fares on Seventh street is still dead letter
and will be used as an argument by the
railroad as to why its line should not be
assessed as street railroad.

Testimony Regarding Water
Front Improvements to Be
Heard Saturday.
BIG RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
The Grand Jury-FruItVaIe's Post
office to Be Reopened-The
Collins Trial.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

90S Broadway, August Is.
The Oakland waterfront case will be re-
opened on Saturday to take testimony
upon the one particular point as to where
permanent Improvements had been made
upon the water front in good faith. By all
the decisions, including the celebrated
decision on the Chicago water 'front.' the
doctrine has been invariably laid down
that the parties or corporations which
have made such improvements are en-
titled to hold the land where situated in
trust without rental OF any sort.
When Judge Ogden rendered his decis-
ion a few weeks ago he stated that the evil
dence introduced did not show where such
permanent Improvements had been made,
and that an opportunity would be given to
offer supplementary testimony upon that
fact. The attorneys of the Waterfront
Company stated their desire to introduce
such evidence last Monday. and next Sat-
urday was the time fixed for the hearing.
The property principally involved is the
water front occupied by the mole and
Long wharf and by several wharves and
other improvements on the estuary.
Under Judge Ogden's decision these few
portions which have been improved in
good faith will still rest in their present
alleged claimants. As to the rest of the
water front, the judgment is that its title
rests absolutely with the city.
