IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Southern Furnaces Seem to Be Holding
Last Weeks Prices.

Southern Furnaces Seem to Be Holding to
Last Weeks Prices
Cleveland o., April 23-The Iron Trade
Review says:
Ore purchases by the leading western
steel interests have been made in the
past week, the amount covering from SO
to go per cent of its requirements. Pitts
burg has not been heard from in any
large way, but may come into the mar
ket before the end of the month. The
sales just made have not only estab-
lshed the ore prices heretofore an
nounced, but have shown the strength
of the Bessemer ore producers organza-
ton in it's ability to enforce its regula-
tions without discrimination in favor of
large buyers. Neither In pig iron nor in
finished material has there been any
break in the dullness that has been
marked since the beginning of April.
The southern furnace companies sup
porting the agreement appear to be hold
ing prices on the basis announced last
week-$S.25 for No. l foundry, $7.75 for
No. and 1915 for gray forge, Birming-
ham. AT these prices they are from 25
to so cents a ton below northern quota
lions. delivered. There has been a
dearth of foundry buying, with varying
reports as to the rate at which iron is
being melted. 1t would seem that there
had been no increase in the past few
months except in foundry forge for cast
iron pipe. Pittsburg, Chicago, Philadel-
phia and Cleveland report a dull week
for finished material At Pittsburg Bes-
semer pig and billets are weaker. On
the latter the competition between mid
dlemen for the small business going has
brought a concession of rs cents from
the pool price on prompt sales From
$3.50 to $3.50 is the range Of prices.
Bessemer pig Is weak at 1925 to 1880,
Pittsburg, according to delivery, though
valley transaction is reported at fur
mace price above $1275. tt

A Double Execution.

Sing Sing, N. Y. April 23.-There was a
double execution at the state prison here
this morning. The victims were Louis
of New York city, both Germans and
both wife murderers. Hermann shot and
killed his wife during a quarrel on July
IL, 1895, and Pustolka stabbed his spouse
to death on August 2S last because he
suspected her of infelicity. The execu-
lions were entirely similar to the. proceed
ing ones at this prison. and the success
of the present method of infiicting the
death penalty was again demonstrated

A Fact

That you cannot purchase
first-class goods at prices for
which third-rate goods are
sold?
How temptingly the cheap
plated stuff is made up and
how fluently the dealer stuffS
you about it being JUST AS
GOOD.
How often you make the
sad mistake to, take his bare

a time you find that it was
not quite as good as his word,
in fact no good at all.

| Splendid Sale Yesterday High
Prices Realized.
The collection of crown silver
ware, glassware and China of the
late monarchy sold by Morgan yes
terday brought extravaganza prices
from people who wanted to own
the sets or pieces for their associa-
tons.
Quite the largest buyer was IL.
f. F. Wichman as to the number OF
pieces and perhaps the number OF
dollars. w. G. Irwin paid the
highest price for set; a dinner
service for six. The price paid
was $235 the only bid, and the
purchaser would have gone higher.
One set that had been marked
$500 for the whole went begging
for bidders until Minister Cooper
ordered it sold in pieces: The
total amount received for the sale
in this way was in excess of the
upset price. After dinner coffee
cups sold for ST each, saucers the
same; plates went equally high.
One large centre piece of silver
and which was supposed to be
platedware proved on examination
by Mr.. Wichman to contain 1892
worth of bullion.
The articles sold yesterday as
belonging to the Kamehameha
reign were nearly all purchased in
England by the late DIR. Judd.
Most. of his purchases have, how
ever, long passed into oblivion, so
far as Hawaii is concerned, through
the carelessness of servants. The
most valuable china set that was
in the palace was that given the
king by Napoleon III, but not a
piece of that set has been about the
place for long time; what was not
broken by the servants was dis
tributed as mementos.
The greatest demand yesterday
was for pieces bearing the kings
initials and crown. There seemed
to be peculiar fascination in them
for the curio gatherers.
The sale will be continued to-

1t Is Not
Reasonable

To suppose that a dealer who
knows his business, who
knows values, as no novice
can know them, would
charge you for his knoWl-
edge. knowledge of goods
makes it easy for him to pur-
chase right; and to sell right.
We claim to carry the best
goods known in our various
lines, and quality considered
sell them lower than most
houses in our line of trade.
1t is quality we brag on; it
is the backing we give our
