THE IRON MARKET
 STILL UNCHANGED
BUYERS ARE HOLDING OFF, AL THOUGH A FEW SCATTERING SALES ARE MADE-RoGERs BROWN 6 CO.'S STATEMENT.

Paschal Shook of Shook & Fletcher iron brokers, characterized the iron market for the week as about the same.
 There is still waiting market" he said, "and very little buying. A few scat tering orders are being placed. but buy CTS generally are holding off"
 Extracts from Rogers, Brown & Co.'S circular of yesterdays date follow:
 Cincinnati, February 1.-The railroads entering this city are suffering from too much business. There are great many carloads of pig iron unloaded on the Kentucky side that are waiting to be loaded in northern railroad cars before they can go forward to their destination. The railroads do not seem to be able to furnish them in any locality.
 Coke makers in the Virginia and Poca- hontas districts are not able to secure enough cars to keep their ovens in full operation. Formerly these districts had little difficulty in securing a supply of cars, for a great many foreign cars from the north were sent south. Now southern roads will not allow their cars to go nOTln Ol the OHlO IlNtI, lll6 ern roads will not send their cars south. Consequently large number of foundry men are greatly inconvenienced.
 New York, February 1-A more com plete deadlock between consumers of pig iron and sellers of the same than that ex- isting at present has not been witnessed for a long times The confidence of the buyer that he will get his needed iron later at lower prices seems to be com plete The confidence of the furnace man, on the other hand. that the real facts of the situation are in his favor is equally strong. The story of the market under these conditions is necessarily brief.
 The sales, of the week aggregate about 25 per cent of the estimated melt. About the same proportion between demand and consumption has continued now for over three months. It needs no great gift of prophecy to tell that more active buy ing must soon take place.,

 Concealed Weapons.

his shrewish wife, Xantippe. used to say when he was asked whether it was better to marry or not: "Whichever you do, you will regret it" Thence the flood of limitations.
 Everybody knows the modern version of this: A man agreed to pay his doc tor a fee if the latter cured him. His wife demonstrated with him for drink ing heavily when in a high fever. He exclaimed: What, do you want me to get well and and have to pay the doc tor his fee?" That is by an old Greek writer Cervantes wasn't the first to josh doctors. You can find this in an old Greek joke book: Pausanias, the Spartan general. when asked why he spoke evil of doctor whorI he had never consulted, said: "If I had con- suited him I shouldn't now be speaking either good or evil about anybody

HUMOR THAT NEVER DIES
Authentic Instances of "ModeIn" Jokes
 That Are 20OO Years Old.

Plutarch was the father of the mother-in-law joke. He told this: "A man, angry at a dog picked up 9 stone and threw it at the animal. He missed the dog and happened to hit his mother-in-law, who was standing near. Whereupon he turned to the by islanders and remarked, Not SO bad, afterall.'"
 That good one you heard the other night was by Cicero. When he heard Fabia, a prominent woman of fashion, say she was thirty years old. he slyly remarked. "Tht's true. for I've heard her say it for the last twenty years.'
 A Greek epigram tells of an un- grounded scandal in this fashion. "Some say, Nicylia. that you dye your hair. What nonsense, Why. it's as black as can be bought in the market" :"
 The Chaldeans were the first to say rude things about wives. A recently read tablet of hieroglyphs discloses this thusly: A wanderer from some remote province asked a distinguished looking man at a great feast given by the king who certain honely looking woman was That" said the distinguished looking man. lis my sister" "Oh, mo- put in the stranger hastily and in great confusion. "I mean that hideous looking creature standing next to her. That " said the Chaldean, " is my wife"

LAND OWNERS MEETING
Farmers Under Grand Canal Ap-
 pointed Committee Yesterday.

TPe landowners under the Grand canal held meeting yesterday after noon at the rooms of the Salc River Valley Water Users association and tool, action similar to that of tie land owners under the Salt River Valley canal.
 It was strictly conference of farm CTS and landowners. Mir. Maxwell be- ing in California and President Fowler and Judge Kibbey being otherwise en- gagged, there was no official represen- tative of the association present. though some of the landowners no doubt are members of the association. The meet ing was a harmonious one, and it was generally conceded that the thing to do was to proceed along the lines laid out by the Salt River Valley canal land owners. The meeting was organized by the election of R. O. Greene chairman and A. J. McClatchie secretary. After a general discussion a committee was appointed to ascertain on what terms the Grand canal could be acquired through the association by the water users under that ditch. The personnel of that committee is R. O. Greene, A. J. McClatchie, D. F. Heard, Jacob Mil Ter, c. B. Wood. Gates Fowler and Will liam Brown. Mir. Greene was made

This committee is expected to report at another meeting to be held next Friday, and its report will afford some basis of calculation as to differ ing interests.
 It is hoped by the committeeman thai the committees under the respective canals will be able to hold a joint con ference one week from today.
