tions for celebrating the Glorious

been in the lead on this, the greatest

While some are Of the opinion that
a celebration is a nuisance, there are
who believe the Importance of the
occasion demands celebration,
Again the business men who have
been instrumental in getting up the
monster affairs seem to think that
others'who have heretofore reaped the
benefit of celebration might show
their patriotism this year In sub.
stantial manner.

SHIPMENTS

Early In the Season.
Present interest centers In figuring
on what may be accomplished before
the close of the season. Two factors
may reduce the actual total mined be-
low the estimate of the early spring.
For old range Bessemer properties
that estimate was 100000 tons. 1t
now seems that shipments from these
mines will fall half a million below
the estimate. The inadequacy Of
labor supply ia one reason, and another
is the unwillingness Of certain own
ers Of smaller properties to operate at
all under existing conditions. II H.
O00, 900 tons, for all sorts Of Lake Su-
perior ores, be granted as safe esti-
mate Of sales and Of producer consum-
ef's schedules, million or two may
doubtless be added to represent the
statistical roundup next winter.
Such is the limitation on the possible
output OF the most desirable ores that
sales Of nOn-Bessemers at Sl.9o as
against $3.50 early in the season are
reported. Information concerning
the prices made in Mesabi transact
ions thus far varies somewhat. In
general to 10 cents above last sea-
sons basis has been realized. The
feature In transportation is an
absence Of cargOes to occupy the wild
tonnage open to engagement for this
part of the season. Provision had
been made by shippers for the moving
by contract Of nearly everything now
in sight. Wild rates are so cents
from Lake Superior, and accents from
Escanaba.
At Chicago the week has been quiet
with steady sales OF most lines Of iron
and steel, and every prospect Of a
continuance Of good business. There
has been practically no change in
prices, although some grades of steel
are hardly as strong as they were
week ago. The most important news
is the report of the dissolution of the
Southern pig iron association, caused
by the HithdraWal of one of the lead
Ing members. This is due, 1t is said, !
10 the dissatisfaction OF the with |
drawing member with the share Oh the
tonnage of sales that has come to 1t.
The action has resulted in no change
In prices as yet.
Developments of the week In iron
and steel have been in the main
favorable. Cheap money. and the con-
tinued refusal of the trade to be
checked or hampered by the war have
facilitated negotiations for long de-
liveries. Perhaps the feature of the
past fortnight's business is the long
time covered by the contracts made,
sellers giving way to an extent that |
did not seem probable one month ago.
The Southern furnaces agreement |
has practically fallen through, one
prominent producer being dissatisfied |
with the tonnage coming to it under
the arrangement. Buying has been
so free of late that no jar in prices |
has resulted from the move. It is
taken to indicate, however, that the
-Bessemer Zig iron producers as
ISOLATION movement will not be the
success that was promised a few
weeks ago.-Iron Trade Review.

Suited the Messenger Boy.

He is a we'll known man about
town, and as such has so many en-
gagements that he has difficulty in
securing the amount of sleep de-
manded by nature. A night or two
ago he was due at a swell card party
out in the neighborhood of Ritten-
house square. Nine o'clock was the
hour, and at 7:3o he found himself
unable to keep his eyes open. He
repaired to his apartments, but
dared not lie down for fear he would
oversleep himself and miss his en-
gagement.
In the emergency an idea struck
him. Going over to the messenger
call with which his sitting room is
equipped he rang for boy. In
few minutes one put in an appear
ance.
"Did you ring, siri'' inquired the
lad.
Il did, answered the man about
town. ''See that chair over theref"
The boy nodded in the affirmative.
"Well, )" continued the man about
town, Il want you to sit down in it
and never move for just 30 minutes.
Then I want you to make me get up.
Understand"
Once more the messenger nodded,
and in less time than it takes to tell
it the man about town was sound
asleep on couch. Promptly at the
expiration of the half hour the bov
awoke him, and the engagement
was kept on time. This novel use of
the messenger service has not been
patented by it's originator, and he
says that others situated as he was
are welcome to the idea.-Philadel-
