The Old Problem of What to Give.

The old problem of what is most appro- priate for gifts will present itself daily now until the shops are closed for the holidays It is not so much what one gives, as the spirit with which 1t Is given, and after all, does not a great deal depend upon the spirit with which it is received?
 There seems to be an increasing tendency to make presents of some dainty or usc- full piece of furniture, and, indeed this cus- tom has been extended so as to include bri- dal gifts.
 In assisting in the selection no firm in the State is better fitted than the old re- lable one of Ben M Jacobs & Bros. For years they have made a study of the fur niture business and are practical in every regard. Their stock shows evidence of careful consideration in purchasing guid- ed by the knowledge obtained only after long experience. The name of Jacobs is synonymous with reliable furniture and good treatment, and their increasing trade warrants the belief that they are success ful in their efforts They are offering splendid values and have always insisted that their customers obtain complete sat. isfaction with every purchase. *f9

LITTLE ACTIVITY
 IN IRON MARKET
Prices Held Firm Under the An-
 tieipated Condition
OUTPUT IS SOLD FAR AHEAD
Heavy Shipments During Past Week. Yard Tonnage Greatly Reduced. Comparative Statement of the
 Furnaces In Blast.

While the iron market has been firm the past week there has been but little activity manifested. This condition was to be ex- pected during the period preceding the holidays and has not caused any fiuctua- ton in the price. Local furnace operators state that their make in favored grades is sold up to April and but little, therefore, is offered on the market.
 The shipments from the district during the past few weeks have been heavy with the result that the tonnage on the yards has materially decreased. Local quotations have not changed in the past three or four weeks, No. ? foundry remaining at from $1l to S11 50 per ton.
 On the first day of December twenty three coke and four charcoal furnaces in Alabama were in blast with weekly out put of 20, 449 tons of coke iron and 12S2 tons of charcoal iron.
 Comparative Statement.
 The comparative statement of the fur naces in the United States in blast on De- cember l and November 1, and December 1, 1899, and the combined weekly output compiled by the Iron Age of New York shows the following:
 December l. 1900-Coke and anthracite  furnaces in blast, 179; weekly capacity, 222,- O67 tons; charcoal, S2; weekly capacity, 6779 tons.
 November l. 190O-Coke and anthracite furnaces in blast, III; weekly capacity, ,~2O7 ,3s1 tons; charcoal, 30; weekly capacity, 1913 tons.
 December 1, 1S99-Coke and anthracite furnaces in blast 253; weekly capacity 2S9,- AS tons; charcoal, 30; weekly capacity, 7511 tons.
 There were eight more coke and anthra- cite and two more charcoal furnaces in blast on December l than on November 1, but seventy-four fewer coke and anthra- cite furnaces in blast on December 1 than on the same date last year. From Novem- Der 1 to December 1 to weekly capacity of the coke and anthracite furnaces in blast increased 14,6S6 tons, but at the last named date was 67,3S1 tons less than on Decem- Der 1, 1899.
 Three or four furnaces in Alabama will be put in blast soon after the holidays and the weekly capacity will accordingly be in- creased to about 23OOO or 240OO tons.
