I met a little lad one day this week
and asked why he was not at school.
He said that he had no books; that he
was promoted to another grade from last
year and was saving his money so he
could buy books and start to school
again. There are no doubt a number of
similar cases in the city.

Iron PRICES SIFFENING


IN Anticipation Of New Business, and
There Is Promise OF q General Adj
yaneo-DounWard Movement In the
Case Of Narrow Plates Has Bean
Checked, and m Advance WIN
Probably be Ordered,
PITTSBURGH. Pa, ian. s.-The
American Manufacturer win say to-
morrow;
''The beginning Of the new year has
brought new business, and the iron and
steel markets have begun to stifen.
Actual changes In prices have not been
announced, but there has been an.addI-
tional hrnness shown in all lines that
points to advances In quotations Just
as soon as the new business begins to
appear in volume. The sheet makers
have taken their weakened situation
boldly, and with the proposed combi-
nation almost secured, have decided to
hold their prices. The announcement
is made that open quotations have been
withdrawn on forward ahipmeuts, and
as a result figures given are merely
nominal. Actual sales are ct q figure
somewhat above quotations.
In the case Of steel bars there has
been a revision in the shape Of quota
lions for e Is, which is shrinkage Of
from twenty-five to forty cents within
the past two months Iron bar still
holds It's rate In spite Of the assurances
from time to time from limited quar-
tiers and regions, that the iron bar was
falling on in use In favor Of better and
cheaper material. The hrmness Of bar
iron manufacturers does not indicate
that the situation is Affecting them.
The downward movement noticeable
in the case Of narrow plates has been
checked and the Indications are that
within short time another advance
win be ordered. The ease with which
the narrow plates can be rolled on oth-
er than strictly plate mills led to the
expansion Of the production and conss-
quent chsapening Of the price. All
that has been stopped, however, and
with the change comes q stifening and
promise of an advance. At present
there Is nothing stronger than a firmer
feeling.
In Bessemer and the foundry irons
the holiday dullness was more apper-
emit than real, though the transactions,
as for some weeks, have been confined
to relatively small lots Of material
