HELPING TRADE WITH TALK.
Little Reliable Evidence of Increase of
Orders.

A dispatch from New York says:
There is in nearly all quarters a
kindly disposition, says the Iron Age. to
help an Improvement in the iron trade
along with cheerful talk There are
certainly more inquiries and there is a
good deal more of estimating on work than
there has been. But there is little really
reliable evidence that actual orders have
increased materially, or that consumption
is again on the upward SWING. On the con-
trary, there arc those who state emphat-
ically that they expect a rather Stacker
month for August. 1t will take more than
talk to lift prices in the lines in which the
markets are free and open, or to justify
those asked by pools.
AS to the southern pig iron situation there
are conflicting reports One large interest
has withdrawn after meeting the market
freely for weeks, and yet 50 iron keeps CROP
ping up at Birmingham. In Chicago one
northern interest is reported to have dts
posed of 10000 tons which includes ,ona lot
of 1900 tons of mailcable iron.
In the east, one lead ng producer has sold
during the past two weeks fully 10000 tons,
the sales including during the last week
one lot of 5000 tons of gray forge and No
foundry, and two lots aggregating SOuU
tons of Basic pig. Cast-iron pipe interests
report that they purchased at a shade less
than some time since.
Reports of sales of steel rails to num-
Der of roads cannot be officially confirmed
Successful mills did not even know of the
inquiries, and none of the sales has as yet
been reported at the daily meetings to the
pool commissioners. This however, is not
convincing proof to the contrary
Some good jobs of structural material
have been closed, and there is a good deal
of talk of large inquiries for cars from the
railroads and of nibbles from the same
quarter on bridge work. The most i'm
portant large affair coming up is the ton
mage needed for the South Side elevated
road in Chicago, which VIII amount to o.
600 to 10000 tons.
Asking prices for old material are higher.

Inspiration TO business success than is Of

the vice presidency.
The Blood of Warriors.
Ninety years ago, in the war of 1872.
there was fighting for the young American
republic one Caleb Davis, a Baltimorean of
Welsh descent. This soldier was also a
prosperous merchant and he took to wife
a pretty Maryland lass, Louisa Brown,
granddaughter of a revolutionary soldier
Caleb Davis laid by enough money to close
out his store and look about for greater
enterprises. He bought farm tract near
Baltimore and on il built the town of
Woodstock. Md. Nearly eighty-one years
ago there came into being in this village
baby boy who was christened Henry Gas
saway Davis. While this youngster was in
infancy the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
was being built and the neighborhood was

perimenters. He took heavy contracts for
railway building and lost his fortune. In a
few years he fell i'll and died. leaving a
penniless widow and five orphan children
TO shift for themselves.
Thus, like Aladdin young Davis began his
career as the son of a poor widow. Louisa
Brown Davis had fresh revolutionary blood
in her veins. She did not quail when advers-
ity came by dint OF hard work she clothed
and fed her little ones until one by one they
could exc out little pittance to be shared
with her This good mother had a sister
living in the same county who later became
the mother of "a boy. Arthur Pue German,
