A New Reading.

Among some good stories" gathered
by a correspondent of the Daily News"
in an interview with Augustus c. Hare
are the following: II was told the
other day" said Mr.. Hare, ''of a school
child on being asked to illustrate cer-
tain rhyme, came up with little
sketch representing a woman carefully
nursing little bear. under which We're
written the lines
Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she-bear?
Mr.. Hare's friend capped this story
with the answer of some schoolboy,
who deserves sknighthood, surely:
"A lie is an abomination unto the
Lord but a very pleasant help in time
of trouble.''

THE IRON TRADE.
State of Market as Indicated by
American Manufacturer.

Pittsburg, Sept. 13.-The American
Manufacturer will say tomorrow:
The total production of pig iron for
1899 will be about 13,306,675 gross tons
1t cannot vary much from this figure
although the increase may be slight.
During the first six months of the
year there were produced 6,294, ,456 tons
of pig iron. This is taken from the
statistics of the American Iron and
Steel association. The estimated ca
pacity for the furnaces in blast in
July was 1,191 ,42S tons, and for August.
12O2, $3.50, making a total to September /
of S,6SS, s63 tons produced for the first
eight months of the year. There are
remaining seventeen weeks before the
closing of the year The estimated
weekly capacity of the furnaces in
blast Sept l was 271,6 ,636 tons, which,
multiplied by the remaining seventeen
weeks of the year, gives production
of 4617,Sl2 tons. This added to the
total of the production of the first six
months and the estimated production
of July and August brings the grand
total to 13.S06,675 tons.
1t is scarcely probable that the pig
iron output will be materially in
creased during the remainder of the
year. The estimated weekly capacity
on the first day of September was 27l,-
G36 tons, an increase OF an estimated
net weekly capacity on the first day
of August of 1904 tons. This is turn
was an increase of 1,6S9 tons over the
estimated weekly capacity on June |,
All the big furnaces that can be put
in blast this year are now at work
Their outputs may be Increased, as it
is doubtful if they have been working
up to their capacity. This will not
change the estimate, however, as when
cold weather comes many Of the small
er furnaces which have been in blast
continually since the first of the year
will have to be closed down for re-
pairs.
During 1891 11,773,934 gross tons of
| pig iron were produced. II the esti-
mate on this years production holds
! good it will be an increase of 1,532, III
tons, or an increase of 3,653,995 tons
| over 1897. This provides that the in
| creased capacity for the production Of
| pig iron is increased at the rate OF
| 100000 tons per year. A greater in
crease can be looked for during 1900
