AN ANNOYING ERROR
Drennen &c Company Had to Do Much
Explaining

Owing to typographical error in Sun
days AgeHerald there was much explain
ing by Messrs. Drennen & Co.'S statesmen
and saleswomen yesterday, and at the
same time no little disappointment among
the many customers of that popular firm.
The trouble was all caused by this little ad:
Misses and Children's extra fine
Ribbed Merino fleece lined Union
Suits. nicely trimmed, fully worth
40c, per suit ................ lz12c
The ad was all right except the price,
which by a typographical error was stated
121a cents while it should have been %
cents. In every Sundays issue of The Age
Herald appears half page ad of the big
department stores of Drennen & Co., and
in this ad is usually enumerated some big
bargains. In Sundays list were the misses
and children's extra fine ribbed Merino
fleece lined Union suits, nicely trimmed,
fully worth 40 cents, which were offered at
% cents. That was a good bargain, and
when the type cut the figure in two the re-
suit may be imagined.
There were numerous callers for these
suits durir yesterday, and 1t was no fault
of the firm that the price was misstated in
their advertisement

Iron Market Review

Cincinnati, October 2.-Rogers Brown &
Co. sum up the iron market situation for
the week ending September 80 as follows:
There is no appreciable change in the
conditions of the pig iron market, and de-
mand continues liberal. There Is absolute
~ no new phase at ALL irons for spot de-
livery are exceedingly scarce and, in some
qualities and grades, absolutely unobtain-
able. The scarcity of cars in some of the
iron and coke districts has been the cause
of delay of shipments of what there was
to ship.
There is a feeling on the part of rianu-
f9cturers of pig -3on to avoid anything like
fictitious values and extravagant prices.
This was shown in the conservatism of the
two largest producers of pig iron IN the
south who had intended to advance prices
81 per ton for all grades last Monday, but,
realizing that advanced prices seemed to
whet the appetite of the buyers, they re-
Trained from carrying out their programme

iron to furnish the balance of this year and
not great deal for the first half of next
We do not change quotations from
last week, though the figures on Southern
irons, as will be observed. vary 81 per ton
on every grade. Ii is owing to the condi-
ton of the order books and the differing
opinions of the manufacturers as to the
future, all being well loaded with orders,
as is generally known
"The railroads running north, east and
west from the Ohio river gateways have
announced an advance in freight rates,

Coke has advanced in nearly all the coke
districts and has become about as scarce
