WALKED OUT.
On Food, After Being Given Up.

Lack of knowledge regarding the kind of food to give to people, particularly in- Valids, frequently causes much distress, whereas when one knows exactly the kind of food to give to quickly rebuild the brain and nerve centers, that knowledge can be made use of
 young Chicago woman says: "Other instances of the wonderful qualities pos sessed by Grape-Nuts food are shown in my grandmothers and mothers cases. Grandmother's entire left side became totally paralized from a ruptured capil- be impossible for her to live week. She could not take ordinary food and we put her on Grape-Nuts in an effort to do all for her we could.
 ''To the astonishment of the doctor and the delight of all of us she slowly rallied and recovered. It was pronounced the first case of the kind on record. The doctor said nothing could have produced this result but food.
 ''We had been led to use Grape-Nuts be- cause of the effect on mother. She has been troubled with weak stomach all her life, and the last few years been gradually 1os- ing weight and strength. She has tried everything, almost, that has been recom- mended by good authority, and until she used Grape-Nuts food, nothing seemed to do her any good. Since taking up Grape Nuts she has been constantly improving until now she is free from any of the stom- ach troubles, and is strong and well.

Iron and Steel.

While business in iron and steel as a whole is quieter than of late, there is no apparent diminution in strength, and ac- tual transactions in rails and plates com pare well with the best recorded One sale of S0,C00 tons of rail, divided between East ern and Western mills is reported and oth- sales will swell the weeks business to 100 900 tons at the much abused but never theess accepted $26 basis. Another feature is the sale of 11,S00 tons for export to Nor way. The volume of rail orders already booked for next year is declared to exceed all records. Although steel plates have advanced $1 per ton the demand is appar ently undminished and large producers are reported buying outside makes to fill contracts. Here again large orders for eX- port are reported. As another proof of stability 1t is reported that one of the largest Pittsburg interests has agreed to the present scale of wages, continuing next year.
 Pig iron is dull, except for some new business at Chicago, and 25 cents per ton has been conceded on Bessemer at Pitts burg. Some large interests, hitherto buy CTS, are now making iron themselves direct from ore. Billets are dull but steady Hardware is active, jobbers' stocks are small and manufacturers are busy on or ders.

A Famous AtIantian.

The New Orleans Times-Demoorat, in a recent issue, has this to say about one of Atlantas distinguished business men;
 The man who fitted General Fitzhugh Lee, present consul general to Cuba, the man who fitted ex-President Grover Cleve- land, and the man who made General John B. Gordon see anew, and the man who has assisted the natural eyesight of more than a score of our leading national characters of the last decade, is now a guest of the St. Charles Hotel. MT. Hawkes. of Atlanta is one of the most noted opticians of the century. He can tell the interviewer of the hook and crook of the noses of some of the most celebrated men now In public life, as he has had the experience of fitting them.
 To suit the eye is one thing, but to fit the nose and get a spring and a clamp that will hold the lenses and at the same time not pinch the delicate member of the tace, is one of the arts that few opticians acquire.

 Cotton Report.
PIG IRON MARKET IS DULL
.ecember 14.-Bradstreet,s

New York, December 14-Bradstreefs will say tomorrow:
 Favorable conditions rule generally in all lines of seasonable trade. Holiday prepara- tons are of course dominant in retail busl- ness, and where this has hitherto Jagged it has been stimulated by more reasonable weather. Wholesale distribution Is limited as natural at this period, but Western job bers are in receipt of a fair recorder bust- ness So far the best reports as to retail trade comes from the West and South. In leading industries the best report is still that made by finished products of the iron and steel industry. but other favorably sit uated lines are boots and shoes and lum- ber New business in the former is rather light at wholeale, but manufacturers gen. orally are busily employed and leather is firm in sympathy. A good export demand for the latter is noted. Retail lumber is rather quiet, but wholesalers are preparing for good year. Hard woods are firm in price. The cereals are lower in price, due to profit-taking on the late upward move, the larger movement of supplies, particu- larly of corn, which is favored by the weather and to less interest on the part of foreign buyers.
 The governments cotton estimate of 10,- 100000 bales was larger than expected by the trade, which looked for about 9750sO0 bales The feeling is that if the yield does not exceed 10,100,0O0 bales, consumption, which last year was 100000 bales of American, must either be heavily curtailed stocks will be reduced to the vanishing point. The close of the week finds future quotations 1sc lower and spots Ac off. The goods market is quiet, which is natural at this period and high cost of raw material and low cost of finished products do not harmonize. Early spring trade business. however, is fairly satisfactory The light weight season in mems wear wooden goods has proved disappointing. but woman's plain dress goods are well ordered Rather more has been done in foreign vols, chiefly Australian, this week, and Melbourne and London advices are of firmer markets Low priced domestic wool is rather weak, how ever.
