ton OF Iron and Steel Sheet Manufacture
erS met here and advanced the price on all
finished product Il cent a pound. or 81 a
ton. The manufacturers also paved the
way for another increase on July | by
adopting a resolution that no orders be
taken beyond thai date even at advanced
prices. one of the manufacturer who
was in the meeting stated that the inten-
ton was to make another advance of 81 on
July |. The reason assigned for the adj

black plate is controlled by the association
this will cause an advance on tin plate.

NEW YORK special: Bradstreets will
say: The volume of general trade has
maintained the previous weeks proper
tons and some points show noteworthy
increases as compared with the total
average. The reaction in petroleum
prices appears to have been overcome and
the tendency is again upward, based on IA
decrease in stocks from about III. 900, 900
barrels of Pennsylvania oil in January,
1864, to less than 5000 0J barrels OF
m~erchantable oil. so marked and rapid
has been the appreciation in the prices OF
petroleum that speculation in il has been
excited. Further advances in quotations
are noted also for wheat, on the improved
demand for export; cotton, on a wide con-
sumption, present and prospective; prin
cloths n other cotton goods. because of
higher raw cotton. The upward turn of
prices for dressed beef and live cattle has
been maintained. Coffee ,and oats were
lower, bu corn and pork remains steady
al last closing quotations. Wool is barely
steady. as consumers are waiting for the
new crop before buying. Exports of wheat
from both coasts of the United States this
week. flour included as wheat, show a
third weekly gain in succession, with the
total amounting to 3, l65, 900 bushels against
2.9O5, 900 last week.

THE ROAD TO WEALTH.

THE ROAD ID WEALTH.
 It begins to dawn more and more clear ly upon the minds of our leading mer- chants that judicious advertising of good goods at fair prices is an almost certain road to wealth. We can hardly point to a single instance in which such a course has failed to bring about the desired results. If any one desirons of gaining intelligent information upon the subject will take the trouble to consult our columns for the past seven years and note the firms that during that period were most liberal in the adver- tising line. he will find that they have been the ones who have been almost universally successful. The business of some of them has had phenomenal increase, while al- most without exception the liberal adver- tisers succeeded in winning trade posi- tions.
 Few if any of the persons who have made mp the splendid list of regular adver- tisers of the DEMOCRAT have either had c,lls from the sheriff or been constrained to retire from business. Judicious adver- Using is far safer investment of money tive ventures.
 The DEMOCRAT is read daily by the buy ing classes of Waterbury and Nauga- tuck. The circulation is reaching the 3,0OJ mark. Step into the press room any dly and see for yourself.
