Literature and
Literary Workers,

Richard Whiteing. the author of No
John Street, is at work upon new
novel and also upon a series of papers
for an American magazine.
Mrs. A. D. t. Whitney, who for
long time has published nothing new,
will bring out a novel this autumn
1t is to be entitled Square Pegs
Kate Douglas Wiggin, who is now
abroad, and cycling around the west
ern highlands of Scotland, intends to
spend the rest of the summer IN Ire
land and in oxford. Her object in
visiting Ireland is TO study the hfe
and atmosphere Of the country Tor
her next book, the scenes of which VIII
be laid in Erins Isle.
1t is said that Mr. Kipling paid t2,oOo
to regain the copyright of Depart
mental Ditties,' and that one of the
first evidences of his ownership win
be the withdrawal of several of the
poems from his authorized works.
1t is hard enough to write a novel.
but it is harder to lose the manuscript
after it is written. The London Mail
has this to say in a, recent issue: George
Gissing is to be congratulated on hay-
ing at last recovered the valuable man.
uscript of his new novel from the hold
of the unfortunate Paris This inter-
esting parcel was on it's way to Amer
lea by express carriage. Mr.. Gissing
was unaware that the Paris was the
bearer of it, and felt no anxiety con-
cerning it until a cablegram informing
him of it's non-arrival warned him that
something was wrong. Some little time
elapsed before he became disagreeably
aware that it was in the hold of the
stranded liner On the Manacles. More
trouble ensued, but at length the man
uscript was recovered well saturated
by sea water but otherwise uninjured'
and it has now been dispatched anew.
Victor Hugo's love letters are to be
published, and the book. it is said, will
be a worthy successor to the love let

these letters when he was Is years old.
There are about $50, all addressed to

SAYS: Il have never laid eyes upon

CONDITION OF MAIN STREET.

Main street, from the foot of Parson-
age street to the Lehigh Valley cross
ing, is in a deplorable condition This
portion of the avenue is paved with
cobble stones, and when the sewer was
laid this ancient pavement was re-
placed in a loose condition. The traffic
over them has displaced the stones,
and the result is the wreck of many
vehicles.
1t is now some months since apprais-
ers placed a valuation upon the old
pottery opposite the RaVine, which was
to be pulled down and thus give an
opportunity to straighten Main street
at this point, but the council in con-
sdering street matters have overlooked
this important matter. The condition
of this particular block is certainly a
disgrace to the city.

IRON AND STEEL MARKET.
Extraordinary Conditions Still Con-
tinue in a Marked Degree.

Extraordinary Conditions Still Con-
tinue in a Marked Degree.
The extraordinary conditions which
have surrounded the iron and steel
markets for several months past still
continue in very marked degree.
There seems To- be no such thing as
catching up NS-H the demand, and 50
long as that continue prices must me-
cesscrily be firm. Arguments and the
cries that prices are too hiEh, and that
the demand cannot continue. on such a
large scale, simply amount to nothing,
as there are no more signs of a change
today than there has been for months
past, Stocks get smaller, deliveries are
harder TO get than ever prices are
higher than ever, so what use is there
in trying to talk the market down?
Pessimists are beginning to hedge
little by saying, 1T may continue this
year. but next yearbook out" That
is not unreasonable, and the trade is
looking out, but so far there is nothing
in sight but q continuance of present
conditions. Buying for delivery during
1900 has become quite confident during
the past few days. and a considerable
amount of business has been closed at
full prices, and more would be closed
if sellers were willing 10 take il. 1t Is
possible that the feeling may be too
sanguine, but the demand is so inn
menso; not only here, but the world
over and stocks are so run down that
1t viii take a long time before normal
conditions are reached.
1t would prorably be a mistake TO
calculate on materially higher prices,
but, on the other hand. there is still
less reason to talk Of a decline. At
present everything points the other
