The Woonsocket Times mentions
an incident of this kind in Sanborn
county. A man discontinued his
local paper some time ago, and be
cause he was not properly posted
on affairs sold his farm for half It's
real value. This might afford u
good text for quite a sermon but it
is unnecessary. Life is too short to
be telling some people OF their mis-
takes. We will make this Insertion,
however, and would like to sec any
body successfully controvert it. NJ
man who does business OF any kind,
or who takes part in the affairs OF

newspaper for one year without re-
ceiving new information or recalling
something forgotten that was worth

IRON MARKET IS
 QUIET BUT FIRM
NO SPECIAL FEATURES IN THE SOUTHERN TERRITORY - RE- PORTS FROM CINCINNATI AND N. Y. SUM UP THE SITUATION.

There was no special feature of the To- cal pig iron trade last week. The market is firm but quiet.
 Extracts from Rogers. Brown Co., s circular of yesterdays date follow
 cincinnati,-Most of the orders during the week have been for spot iron-quick delivery. There has been no general buy ing and there have been no transactions of maanitude. Because of the reduction of prices of American irons the demand for the foreign products has fallen away. This has further softened prices abroad and as the foreign melt Is running light the German and English makers are pressing for fresh American orders quite urgently. The American pig iron manu- lecturers. however. are constrained to make prices that will enable them to re- tain the home market. The indictment sea- son may preclude an adequate expansion of production to meet the domestic re- ouirements. This, however, may be offset by the curtailment of consumption neces- sitated by the game cause.
 Prices on Bessemer, basic and malleable continue firm. The shading down of prices on foundry and mill grades has been ar- rested by the few nervous sellers having been satisfied with the orders which took their little surpluses. and the market Is stesdier at prices current.
 New York-A quiet pig Iron market Is reported from all parts of the country. This was due from every consideration. Most buyers made contracts for their re- quirements for the first half of the year during the months of August and Sep tember. The October and November trade was devoted mainly to filling In against delinquent deliveries on existing con tracts. The business remaining to be done iA that of certain large consumers who preferred to take chances on next year s market. and also the minor business that is coming up all the time to cover new work taken by consumers. Furnaces have been under an lndescribable strain for months past. due to lack of trans portation and raw materials coincident with unusual pressure from buyers. Leading companies are months behind contract deliveries and there are few but that are weeks behind. If new demand were to be suspended entirely until Feb ruary 1, few makers would be more than even with deliveries, and nearly all would have two-thirds to three-fourths July or August. The most careful in- quiry fails to disclose any falling off in consumption worthy of note.

MEXICO ON A GOLD BASIS. American Capital to Seek Employ ment in the Great Republic.

New York, December 5.-The determina- ton of the Mexican Government to es- tablish that country on a financial basis similar to that adopted in Japan, which went from silver to a gold basis some i've years ago, has been welcome news in financial and industrial circles. When Mexico carries out this programme the value of the Mexican silver dollar will be fixed at fifty cents. This will put an end to the wide fluctuations in the value of money which have proved so serious in the business relations of Next co with other countries It is a well known fact that one of the most promi- ent barking houses in this city, having international relations with Mexico, is now arranging to sec ure the gold requir- ed by the Mexican government to make the basis for it's circulating medium.
 In this city, where so many Mexican enterprises have offices, the officials in oherge say that the Mexican govern ment will, by establishing values on a gold basis, stop the wide fluctuations which have done much to enbarrass the commercial development of Mexico. The announcement of a change to gold basis will be in medistely followed by the influx of capital from the states, and enter Prises will be at once undertaken which will rapi6ly promote the prosperity of the Mexican Republic. No better pulse of the situation exists than the Mexican Central Railway Company, which trayerses the great republic from Fl Paso, on the Texas lire, to the City of Mexico, and from Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico, to Man. zanillo, on the Pacific. This great road with its many feeders Is the great trunk line of Mexico, and since the plans of tho Mexican Government have leaked out, merchants, manufacturers and capital ists have been making inquiries all indi- cative of the interest that capital and en- ergy take in promoting trade in this country now that the basis of values Is to be established.
 The wealth of Mexico is as yet an un- fnown quantity. It depends upon the en- ergy and the capital that is put into de- veloping her incalculable resources. Be- sides her mines, she possesses great agrl- cultural possibilities. In every direction the investigator finds inviting opportuni- ties for capital and energy. No better evidence of what can be accomplished, even under disadvantageous conditions, can be found than by comparing the growth of certain localities along the long line of the Mexican Central, during the past ten years. On every side can be found evidences of growth and grow ing prosperity and each point has become a market for goods manufactured in the United States. The fixing of the cur rency on a good basis means commercial prosperity and national importance to Mexico.

RAILROAD WAR IMMINENT.
Southern Pacific and Illinois Central
 Combine Against L. & N.

New Orleans, December GA trans continental passenger traffic war Is likely to be precipitated at New Orleans by the latest move of the Southern Pacific railroad in joining in a union depot plan with the Illinois Central railroad, cut ting out the Louisville and Nashville crossing. This action, 1t is believed, will result in the Louisville and Nashville and the Texas and Pacific joining in an agreement to handle trans-continentaI traffic. This will likely be done unless the Louisville and Nashville Is forced to enter the union depot on January l when the Southern Pacific goes in, as the Queen and Crescent is included in the plan. The fight between the Gould and Hartman interests is further accentuat- ed by the action of the Southern Pacific in routing its business from New York to North Texas via. New Orleans ana the Shreveport and Red River Valley railroad instead of the Texas and Pacific.
 In furtherance of it's scheme of coloni- zation of the Southwest, Louisiana and Texas, the Southern Pacific yesterday carried through New Orleans 150O home seekers, the third large party of agricult- urists recently brought into this section by the Southern Pacific.

London, December GA special dispatch from Rome says that two station cruisers have been ordered to be put in commits sicn for imme diate active service. These vessels, the dispatch says, are thought to be going to Venezuela. It is believed in London that the preparation of the Ital- ian cruisers arises from the fact that Italy has claims against Venezuela and that a delegate from President Castro was in Rome this week endeavoring to reach an agreement with the government in the matter of these claims.

RiOtiOus Scenes in the French
 Chamber of Deputies
TWO STATESMEN WILL FIGHT
Lie Passes Between M. syvton and Valles Over Discussion of Hum bert Affair, and Seconds VIII
 Arrange for a Duel.

Paris. December 6.-The chamber of deputies was the scene of violent disturb anees this afternoon. during which gem eral melee occurred in the space in front of the tribune requiring the summoning of the military commandant of the Palias Bourbon with a platoon of colonial in- fantry, who foreibly ejected two disorder ly members who declined to retire after an order for their temporary expulsion had been served.
 The affair was the outcome of much feeling which has been aroused lately be- tween the governments supporters and the minority. The government had desired to close parliament today for the holiday recess and this was resisted by the min ority on the ground that the chamber should remain in session to discuss the budget. The feeling was intensified when the revisionist Deputy Gautheir made a savage attack on the government for it's laxity in prosecuting parties connect ed with the Humbert scandal. Even worse than this scandal, he declared, was the state of anarchy existing within the courts, within the police and within the government. He called on Minister of Justice Valles for an explanation of the affair, and the minister made an em- phatic rejoiner, declaring that the scan- dals of the republic were far less numer. ous than those of the empire, which still live in memory. He closed with the as- sertion that Frederick Humbert had been a Boulangist deputy. This immediately threw the chamber into violent tumult, the members of the right shouting indig nant denials. Amid the din Deputy Cou- tant, socialist, exclaimed that Minister Valles' statement was a lie and was known to be a Justification of facts. Pres- ident Bourgeois sought to restore order, but in vain.
