TIME TO SELL.-Occasionally the rumor
gets afloat that the Catoctin iron property
has buyer in sight and latterly we have
heard such rumor. 1t may be meddling
with something that is none of our bust
ness" yet we can lay legitimate claim to an
interest in seeing the furnaces and ore banks
in operation. on account of the employment
that it will give to labor here. 1t strikes US
that, being now an unproductive property
aud for sale, as it has been advertised and
offered. that the present is the proper time to
sell. The demand for home an foreign mar
kets, of manufactured iron, in 1899 will prob
ably exceed that of any of the past six or
eight years and if iron property is worth
anything, it is likely worth more to.day than
it has been during the past ten years and
more than it will be, once the present de-
mand for iron eases or ceases
If there should be buyer in sight, then
he will likely give al! that is worth now
