IRON AND STEEL.

During the past week there has been
supplies in Boston which characterized
the iron and steel market a few months
ago. The demand for immediate deliv-
cries is fully as urgent as it has been at
any time since the upward movement
in prices began.
Consumers who bought early in the
year for July and August delivery at
prices much below those now ruling are
loud in their complaints that deliveries
cannot be secured according to contract.
They claim that the present day buy
ers, who are paying fancy prices, are
getting supplies in preference and that
in many cases the producers are en-
deavoring to shirk their responsibility
on old contracts.
Some consumers of iron and steel are
buying more cautiously than formerly,
but the fact stands out clearly that un-
less they order for future deliveries now
they will run the chance of not being
able to obtain their material when they
need it.
The fall trade is just now the most
critical feature of the market. If 1t
exceeds the late or present demand to
any extent nothing can seemingly pre-
market has not been able to take care
of summer orders, without materially
enhancing values. Some effort is being
made to import English steel, and if
values increase there is probability that
this foreign trade will expand
The strength of the situation exists
in the fact chat the increased demand
for iron products comes from no one
line of industries, but is in the fullest
sense of the term, general. With the
present business boom has come a re-
newal of activity in all departments of
industry. A building boom, a railroad
boom, a manufacturing boom and a
shipbuilding boom are among the many
booms that are responsible for the
greater boom in iron and steel.
There is, of course, nothing but time
required to open up new iron mines,
equip blast furnaces, etc., which will
again carry the price level back to nor
NAL. In view Of the present outlook for
the continuation of the heavy demand,
however, producers may rest assured of
enormous profit on their output for a
long time to come. Present production
cannot be increased materially before
next year.

that it is likely to rise on the bears who

(Howard, Crosby & Co.'S Boston Letter.
Boston, Aug. 24.-Wheat opened where
it closed last night. Liverpool cables re-
port brilliant weather, which had a tend
ency to cause lower prices this morning.
The weather in Germany is overcast, and
Australian cables report that the outlook
for the crop continues favorable. The To-
cal crowd did most of the trading, apart
from little foreign selling. The north
west weather indications were better but
Hrice Current was regarded as bullish.
Northwestern wheat receipts today were
954 cars, against 2S3 last week, and 694 last
year. The bulls seem to have gotten tired
of supporting wheat and the market
eased off on active unloading, together
with more aggressive short operations
Patten of Chicago is reported as bullish
on wheat, owing to the sensational loss
IN the winter wheat crop and the spring
wheat disappointment. Liverpool closed
steady and Paris quiet. Prime says: The
country is just beginning to wake up to
the fact that the shortage of winter wheat
this season is almost sensational"
The stock market opened strong in re-
sponse to higher range in London, which
was followed by arbitrage purchases here
Healization, however, on a renewal of
bear opposition caused a setback in some
directions. The continuation of buying in
the grangers and Pacihcs was notable,
and London gave liberal support to N. p,

Next to a mans family and
business nothing should be near
er to his heart than the town in
which he lives. 1t is the place
where he wins his confidence and
educates his children. He wants
to make it as popular as posi-
BILE; he cannot afford to be ind1f-
ferent to anything which f1lrth-
ers these ends. 1t can be said
that a town that is worthy of
the devotion Of it's citizens in
making it wholly known and
greatly prosperous is a town in
which it is worth the full meas
ure of our devotion, to merely
take our share of the common
benefits accorded to the commu-
nifty. We may yet add that if
persons cannot indemnity them
elves with interest of their town
and be in sympathy and touch
with the people with whom they
live, it would be better for them
to "move out" There are many
people who live off of a commu-
nifty and contribute nothing to
it. They oppose the church,
state and school and every thing
else in which they cannot lead or
make profit out of, tearing down
without the ability or DISPOSE
ton to build up. They never
give any thing better than a
community may have, and in
their fault finding opposition and
indifference they discourage and
crush out what could be made
more prosperous if they expen-
ded half the effort in trying to
build up that they do in discour-
aging improvements

Hi Being Thofs-A Happy and Contsnted
People Who Know Nothing of the Out

Did you ever hear Of a place where
money was useless? Well, there Is such
@ place. It is the island OF Tristan
d'Aounha, in the South Atlantic, about
midway between the Cape OF Good
Hope and the South American coast.
But you mustn't jump to the conclusion
that money has no value there because
tho island is uninhabited. 1t has
population of sixty-four, and is the
tiniest of Great Britains many small
colonies.
Once a year the British government
sends of a ship to the island. Just
why this should be done is not quite
clear. A yearly mail service Is quite
unnecessary. for although the sixty
four Inhabitants are British subjects
they never receive any mail. They
lead a solitary existence, knowing
nothing of the great world beyond their
shores AID caring less.
Some time ago, for some reason or
other, tho King of Italy sent donation
of two hundred dollars for distribution
among the inhabitants. A gentleman
named Cane, who had visited the Is
land, commenting on this fact, wrote
