BETTER IRON PRICES.
More Demand for Products Of Farm
and Factory.

r. G. Dun e. Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says: The last quarter of
1904 opens with much brighter pros.
poets than prevailed year ago. AT
that time securities had fallen an
average of $S4 a share from the top
point a year previous, and there
was a general disposition to curtail
manufacturing and commercial op'
-erations because of the heavy losses.
At the present time there are no
alarming features. strikes are few
and unimportant, while the indications
of growing confidence are numerous.
Building operations are expanding,
providing a better demand for lum-
her and materials. Manufacturing
plants are decreasing the proportion
of idle machinery. Movement of
wheat is heavy.
Foreign commerce at this port for
the last week showed small de-
crease in exports and gain of
S2,163,346 in imports as compared
with 1903. Security markets have
risen $14 above the sponding
date last year, and money Is easy
and abundant. With the exception of
steel rails, which are not on parity
with the rest OF the market, prices OF
iron and steel have apparently at
tanned a position of stability, and tar
dy contracts are gradually coming
forward. There is also a good in
quiry for merchant pipe. list prices
being strictly obseryed. Shipbuild-
ers are seeking plates and there is
a wholesale movement of machinery
and tools. Failures this week mum
bered 223 in the United States,
against 226 last year. and IS in
Canada, compared with 10 year
ago.

Young Tobe Hoxie." MT. Lamson
 wrote the play, organized the company
 presenting it and usually appears him. self in the leading pole. He is trav-
 cling largely over the same circuit he
 made last year and is being greeted by | large audiences. The following is an extract from column criticism that | appeared recently in the Morning
 Times of Hornellsville. N. r.:
 ''It is easy to believe that Mr. Lam | son has been a student of James A. Hearne. There is the same sincere
 ring to his work that characterized all the dramas that came from the pen of that distinguished player and author, | the same hoTnely, everyday characters, the same delft touches the same keen insight into the nobility and worth of those who til the soil and who are content to live out their lives from the
 madding crowd. Tn selecting and ar ranging his characters MT. Lamson has shown rare discrimination, and he
 has wrought them odt so skillfully and with such a. rare respect for the nu- ances of his art that his work is ar l tistie, sane, virile, and full of yer isimilitude. The characters are real and have their prototypes in every
 rural community. They talk 2s far mer folk might be expected to talk,
 they are not caricatured, they are net
 maligned. There is not a word ut
 tered that is out of place, and this, too, in spite of the fact that there are several situations where the au-
 thor must have been sCreIy tempted to use words that are not regarded as wholly proper in polite society. His
 pages are not spoiled by single oath, or double entendre sentence. It is all
 as pure as the water that gushes out
 from beneath the foot of some storm swept mountain and as fragrant as a
 breeze in June that has travelled ever
 field of clover blossoms. Faults it
 has, to be sure, bLenishes that might
 have been Avoided, and some straining
 after effects that cast a cloud of ili-
 sincerity over what has gone before;
 but there is so much that IS excellent
 and it is such a relief from the maud
 lin, half-witted tommyrct that is usu-
 ally met with in rural plays that one
 feels to be disposed to be lenient with its defects and to commend it for the
 good it contains.''

A Big Plum.

Dominion Fruit Inspector Wartmai,
says the Montreal Star, while inspect
ing California fruit, discovered a Kel-
sey Japanese plum which measured
81R inches In circumference, and
weighed six ounces. 1t was green in
color, and shaped much like a pear,
the stem being the larger The fruit
was sound throughout, very luscious,
and destitute of coarseness In texture
and flavor usually present in very large
specimens of fruit. The pit was no
larger than that of an ordinary Lom-
bard or Damson plum grown in Cana
da. While this specimen was the larg-
est noticed In Is cases Of this variety,
there were many others of extraordi-
nary size. Out of the 10 cases there
was not single inferior or damaged
specimen, although the fruit must have
been at least ten days picked before
reaching Montreal, SO carefully do Cal
ifornia growers pick, pack and ship
their fruit.
