The frequent accidents caused by
inexperienced drivers on our streets
should be dealt with seriously by
the Grand Jury. We trust that the
jury will order a number of hack
drivers to appear before them and
explain how they are examined and
how much they have to pay before
they are allowed to hold the ribbons
OF licenced or private rig.

A wag has it that the new arrival
at the home of the judge who came
from Kansas, in coatless manner,
did not bring up the dander of the
judge, and he did not see fit to give
a lecture or order it out OF his
private court. This shows discrim-
ination that the grand jury ought
to look into.

from 5000 to 10000 tons.
On general condition the Iron Age
says: The export trade in pig iron Is
light, buyers and sellers being far apart
Only small lots are being placed
Biliets are still very dull. The foreign
market is quiet. Freights to Liverpool
have eased somewhat and are now given
at 10 shillings and pence as against 10
shillings recently
In the plate trade Chicago reports the
placing of a contract for one OF the
Scotch ship yards
A very satisfactory flow Of work is
coming to the American Bridge COM
pany, which has taken about 1000 tons
Of bridge material for the Norfolk &
Western railroad and 10000 tons for the
Union Pacific company. Among the or
ders taken is a lot of $50 tons Tor

In car building the order of the Balti-

the west there does not seem to have

it is there that the extension Of the sys-
TENS is going on, we must wait for
indications from there before the situa-
ton can be judged. Our Chicago cor

of standard sections aggregate $4,000
tons which is not large. An interesting
item is that Chicago has made a sale Of
