 "A Colonial Girl'' is a charming story of an honest, innocent and beautiful Amer ican girl meeting a schoolday playfe,low and their mutually falling in love.
 The scenery, which is all carried by the company, is very beautiful and elaborate and is the same in every respect as that which was seen during the New York run of the play.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE IRON MARKET
Consumers Are Absorbing an h.
 creased Production.
DEMAND CONTINUES STRONG
Southern Furnaces Are Still Far Behind Deliveries-Year Gives Promise of Marvellous Developments-No.
 Foundry Very Scarce

Cincinnati. February 1S-(specfal) )-Rog- CTS. Brown $ Go, in reviewing the iron market for the week ending Saturday, February r. say:
 One of the most interesting features of the busdness-of the week has been the prov ing of the fact to certain consumers that, notwithstanding production has increased, consumption requires and is absorbing the added product which falls short of the tom mage many supposed would be reached ere this.
 Northern irons are strong, because the furnaces are quite well sold ahead, many of them for the first half of the year, and a few to the third quarter of the year. Bessemer Is scarce and firm at $24.00, valley furnaces. Grey forge Is dn more active re- quest. and s21.OO to s21.5O f. O. b.. Mahoning and Shenango furnaces represent transac- tions of the week. with light supply.
 As to foundry grades, the northern fur naces are not anxious for orders for imme- diate. or early delivery, but are booking for extended future deliveries
 The southern furnaces are still far be- hind deliveries on all grades, and the few old furnaces that have been revitalzed have thus far been disappointing as ito tonnage and grades produced. So that the general situation has not improved much as to southern production.
 The year, yet young, gives promise of a marvellous development and a prosperous future. The indications favor the belief that the plethora of money, established confidence, domestic development and the enlargement of our exports will continue to tax our facilities as to iron and steel and their products. Transactions of the week comprehend sales of every variety of do- mestic pig iron, and in a slightly increased volume over last week.
 Owing to the labor difficulties occasioned by the holidays, and the inadequate supply of coke, and therefore the irregular work ing of the furnaces in the south some off grades have been made, but these little &C., cumulations have been disposed of The furnaces are working now in fairly good or der, and while No. foundry continues very scarce, the outlook is improving for bet ter form, with firmer figures, than prevail ed at our last writing.
