Lysander John Appleton spends his
evenings huddled over the dining
room fire, and he sleeps in a cold bed
room because he can't afford to burn
any more fuel. In the parlor of the
CHEEKY fire burns every evening, and
young men find it so comfortable that
they make the parlor their 1oafing
place all winter. The Appleton girls
pile the fuel on with a generous hand,
and though Lysander John grumbles,
it has no effect. The young squirts
who call are nothing to him: they
would make poor husbands if his
daughters married them, and Lysan-

there is anything due" the father he
will have to go to heaven to get it.

ing Is the General Report.
New York, July 2O.-Discussing trade
conditions. the Iron Age, says: Every
market report deals with the story OF
the scarcity of material and the advanc-
ing tendency of prices for delivery during
the next four or six months. Values are
exceedingly firm for the balance Of this
year and the possibility of higher prices
is being faced. Complaints of delays in
deliveries continue frequent, particularly
so far as old low-priced contracts are con-
cerned. Some large concerns, however,
report that they are beginning to catch
up little. Some consumers are begin
ming to face the question of supply of ma
terial for the first half of next year. The
conviction seems general that 1t is safest
to cover for any contracts taken, but thus
far the quantities involved seem to be
moderate. There has been some buying
of pig iron for 1900 but so far as ye can
ascertain, good, sound concerns are hav-
Ing prices named to them considerably
below those now prevailing. This insures
to the makers very handsome profit on
a part of their tonnage. A comparison of
prices shows that since July. 1895, values
on nearly the whole line of raw and fin
ished materials have just about doubled,
and in some cases the rise has gone be-
