THE IRON MARKET, New York Sept.

THE IRON MARKET, New York, Sept A.
So far the business in domestic pig iron is
concerned, it has been relatively light, says the
Iron Age. The principal item of interest is that
the southern railroads III have advanced freights
but to increasing extent. the Interior is
feeling, the relief from scarcity of spot iron
brought by the importatons of foundry iron.
Consumers have been learning to use Mindless
brough and Scotch iron and some of the latter
is very much liked. ~ &.s - s$$.
Some pretty high prices, up to $22 have been
paid within the last few days for spot besse-
mel: pig in the Pittsburg district, Quite good
deal of business has been done In foreign bes-
semer and open-hearth billets.. Tn the central
west the increased offerings of steel works are
creating All easier tendency, There ts. little to
be. said concernig the heavier lines of rolling
mill products Every nerve is being strained
to get out tonnage and to catch up deliveries.
and it seems probable that all the new material
available is diverted to these branches to bring
about relief. Interest in certain way centers
on the lighter lines: like sheets tin plates bars
and wire. because it is there that general con-
sumption should soon be reflected by heavier
fall trade. The. reports Concerning bars are
getting to he rather better and the indications
seem just now to point to, taking up OF
slack in the wire trade. Buyers generally in
the lighter lines have assSr-ned conservative
+ attitude in view of the soher ings by many new

Fierce Wind From Apennines Blows

Although Florence is the most popu-
lar place of residence in Europe for
Americans excepting those great capi-
tails, London Paris and Rome. 1t does
not appeal to me like some other cities.
The streets are narrow dark and cold.
A fierce wind from the Apennines is
blowing more than half the time from
November till April, and they act like
the tiues of chimney, so that the rush
Of air is concentrated in them and
seems colder and stronger than IL ac-
tually u.s. The sunshine never reaches
many of the streets and the palaces
although most Of them are ideals in ar
chitecture so far as the eXteriors are
concerned, are monstrOus piles Of stone
and brick. divided into enormous rooms
seldom less than twenty by thirty feet
and as often as large as forty by sixty
in size, and with ceilings from twenty
to forty feet high. There are no means
Of heating whatever, and it would be
difficult to warm them with the biggest
coils Of steam pipe ever constructed.
They are without comforts or COnve-
niences and are as cheerless as pri-
sons When you put your hand against
a plastered wall at midday it is as cold
as a block of ice. The reason why these
mer Is that summer doesn't last long
enough to let the heat work through
the walls.
There is very little satisfaction in
shivering with cold from morning till
night even II one does live In a build
ing designed by Michael Angelo and
can turn his head to the ceiling at any
time and study q frescO by Raphael. A
good anthracite base burner In a Chi
cagO boarding house Is preferable to
such grandeur And ! was never able

According to the statisticians the
average cost of living in the United
States has been increased in the last
few years of piping protectionist pros
perity about go per cent. This is an
aspect of our high stepping forward
movement that the favored interests
who are reaping the harvests they had
no hand in sowing do not like to
dwell upon. But 1t is a matter nf seri-
