A PLUCKY GIRL.

Philadelphia, Nov. s.-Whi1e 10 year

bullet entered his side. The lad fell to

around the wound she picked the lad up
in her arms and carried him to the home
of DR.. Horace Benson, a distance of
nearly two and a half miles.

The doctor soon stopped the flow of
blood and located the bullet. He then
put the boy to bed. On being revived
Miss Hebaugher's first words were: rs

walk to the doctors house was the most

and at different times she thought her
brother was dead. AS her parents were
out driving and her older brother visit

HEAVY BUYING.
Purchasers of Iron Products Busy
Placing Orders.

Cleveland, O., Nov. s.-The Iron Trade
Review says this week:
Buyers Of iron and steel have been
busy placing orders in the past week,
and it has made a greater record than
either of the two strong weeks proceed
ing Chicago leads as a buying point,
with $4,000 tons of pig iron closed, 100,-
600 tons of rails and 10000 tons of plates,
and every form of finished product shar-
ing in the movement. One selling firm
handling southern pig iron has booked
$4,000 tons OF basic iron in the past ten
days for consumption by eastern and
Indiana gas belt plants Pittsburg re-
ports that for the month of October
sales of BesSemer iron reached 20, 600
tons, or more than in all the six months
preceding.
From all quarters come reports that
buyers nave been placing orders in the
belef that the simultaneous demand
generally expected after November s
might produce higher prices. The fact
is that in some cases, where furnace
companies nave been selling at a loss,
pig iron prices advanced 80 cents in the
past week, this being true of some south
ern Ohio and Alabama irons. On the
other hand some of the Chicago bust
ness, which included contracts running
into next year, was closed at bottom
prices.
In the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
the buying movement has been attended
by unchanged prices. In general the
furnace interests have now taken a
hrmer stand, though no material adj
vance IS looked for in the near future.
The Bessemer iron producers in the val
leys are expected to meet this week to
fix a price on deliveries after January
l. This, it is understood, will not be less
than $14 at furnace. The market for
Bessener steel billets has gone I'M
changed, the meeting of last week in
New York taking no action However.
another meetingg is now in progress in
New York, which it is predicted will re-
suit in an agreed price for billets-prob-
ably 500 at central western mills. Opin-
ions differ as to the advisability of engi-
neering new agreements or reviving old
ones on certain finished materials.
Following the lead of the plate mills,
the manufacturers of steel bars have
planned a meeting in New York this
week which is expected to establish a
uniform price These movements are
confirmatory of the distinct improve
ment that has come over the market re-
Gently, for only on a strong market can
agreements be successfully maintained.
The railroads have added to their pur-
chases of rails and buying on liberal
scale from lines in all sections is ex-
pected to come out, now that the cleo
ton is over. The better feeling in all
parts. of the market and the advance in
steel billets which manufacturers argue
is fully justified by the recent buying
movement, are counted on to dispose of
most of the remaining opposition to the
S26 price for rails.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Smith was as

a doctor was summoned, and everything
was done for her, but her condition was
such that her removal to a hospital in
Boston was advised.
She was operated upon there twice,
and the X-rays were used, but she did
not seem to obtain relief. On Friday
it was thought that there was no i'm

A COMBINE in STEEL.
The Price of Billets Raised From
$3.50 to $50 Per Ton.

New York Nov. SIT is learned from
a trustworthy source that a meeting of
representatives Of the steel companies
has just been held in this city. Steps
were taken some time ago to perfect
the proposed steel billet pool, and two
meetings for drawing up and adopting
agreements under which the pool could
be formed have now been held. What
action was taken at this latest meeting
could not be learned. It is known that
nothing definite was done at the pre-
vious meeting, as it was decided to de-
fer action until after the election Ru
lnors have been current for some time
that the price of steel billets would be
advanced to $50 ton The present price
is $780,
Those present at this recent meeting
were c. NJ. Schwab, president of the
Carnegie Steel company; Willis L. King,
chairman of Jones & Laughlin, limited,
and F. r. Hirsch, of the Pittsburg dis

vessels that the British government has
proposed certain changes. The changes
relate to the manner of exhibiting lights
and the danger signals to be used to
prevent collision at sea-

Views of British Financiers on the
American Election.

New York, Nov. S.-England's leading
representatives of high finance have
been interviewed by the London CORE
spondent of the World relative to the
election in the United States.
The governor of the Bank of England,
Samuel Stewart Gladstone, said:
THE Bank of England. never gives
opinions, but my personal view you are
welcome to. McKinley's election must
have a healthy effect, both financially
and politically. consider. it in the first
place as a great security for the peace
of the world. Here, undoubtedly, the be-
lief has been that if Bryan were elect
ed it might mean disturbance and I'M
settlement in the financial world Now
we may look for revival of business
and Strengthening Of American secu-
rites"
Hon Francis Barring, the working
chief of the firm of Barring Bros, said.
THE good effect of McKinley's cleo
ton has been already reflected in the
American market, where prices have
hardened greatly. I believe that it will
increase confidence and that business
will necessarily improve. English cap
itaI will be more freely invested in
American securities and undertakings
AS to its bearing on bimetalliSm, that is
too big a question to go into today;
sufficient for the day is the evil there
Of
At the London office of the Aorgans
Pierpont Morgan said:
Il consider that the settlement of the
question is a relief to business interests
both here and in America The general
effect on commerce and finance must be
excellent For the past fortnight prices
have shown an upward tendency, and
the general relief has been expressed by
the further immediate improvement.
LAS to the silver movement, now it has
got it's finishing stroke. The buying of
American securities here is mainly for
America There has been a steady
stream of buying for some time past,
but now that Mckinley is elected Eng
lish money will also be forthcoming for
American stocks
Sir Samuel Montague, head of the
well known bankers of that name, said:
In consultation with my partners we
agreed that if Bryan was elected Amer
leans would Immediately begin to hoard
gold, experimenting some kind of silver
legislation that would draw on our gold
reserves, causing stringency in the
money market. This fear has been re-
moved by McKinley's election, and now
the drain of gold will stop; therefore
the effect on the money market will be
good. 1t will also improve commerce
and enhance sound American securities
for investors and manufacturers who
feared the possibility of Bryan'S election
and were uncertain whether they would
be paid in gold or silver"
