Producers Stocking Up
With Ore for Future.
Car Shortage Hampers Trade
in the West.
Demand for Finished Steel Continues as
Strong as Ever.

Cleveland, o.. Dec. S.-The Iron
| Trade Review in its issue of today
| says: Conservative iron and steel in

very general reports of the decreased
| buying of pig iron. as they see in this
reaction from the excessive business of
| the last few months an assurance that
| a runaway mai ket" is not to result
| The market contains no element OF

contract 50 far ahead as they We're q
few weeks ago. Foundries. especially
in the Chicago district. however. are
running close on stocks and the de-
maud from this source is strong.
Producers are taking advantage of
the temporary lull to contract for their
raw material requirements for 1906,
and sales of ore during the past. week
have been the heaviest in the history of
the trade. Western buyers especially
are profiting by past difficulties of OBJ
tanning ore. some finding that they
have not covered their needs up to the
opening of navigation next season, and
contracting has been so active that
Bessemer ores are already hard to Sc

Bessemer has been sold. Ore ship
mt hts Of this year were 3301l. S44 tons
up to Dec. /. which is 100000 tons in
excess OF any previous year.
Trade in the West is badly hampered
by the car shortage, which showed lit
tie improvement with the close of
the grain movement, and threatens
to cause increasing embarrassment
throughout the winter. Rolling stock
has been increased. but heavier trans
portation demands have developed and
many blockadeS OF cars by snow will
cause immediate distress. The South
ern iron field is also suffering.
The demand for finished steel of all
descriptions continues as strong as
heretofore. Bad weather has cut down
the number of inquiries for Immediate
deliveries, which are extremely difficult
to secure. but builders are preparing to
place their orders for next seasons de-
livery. Mills are from six to eight
months behind on orders for structur
ais. Bar IRON mas gone 50 HlSn tlsl'
bar steel is being largely substituted.
Crude steel is scarce and ferrO-

secure buyers offering sips a ton and
getting practically none.
Furnacemen are interested in the de-
cision of Judge Frazer OF Pittsburg.
who has held that residents in the
neig hborhood of a furnace must sub

damage resulting therefrom. The use
of Mesabi ores he held to be necessary
owing to the scarcity of rock ores and
the dust arising in it's handling forms
no basis for damages or Injunction pro-

Many Other Petty Rules That Hamper The
Foreign Salesman.

The German regulations connected

VINO may desire to ply his trade within
the kaiser'S realm are particularly
stringent. All foreign statesmen must
procure licenses. If the articles
handled should include fruit. eggs,
poultry. beeswaX or honey, the sales
man will be refused \ license if he has
ever been under police surveillance,
or IL he has ever been known as Il
habitual urunkard or vagrant, though
what selling beeswaX has to do with
vagrancy or drinking, more than any
other article of commerce, is not ap-
parent. 1t will be well for any sales
man considering a trip through Ger

German consulate before starting He
may be spared expense and possible
humiliation by so doing.
case in point was the experience of
a salesman for a typewriter manu-
factory who went across to work Bel
GUM. and at the last moment thought
he would make a short trip through the
northern part of Germany. He carried
with him compound prepared by him
self which contained beeswax as one
of the ingredients, and which he de-
sired to introduce as a lubricating arti-
Gle for typewriters and other delicate
mechaniSmS.
When he presented his passport. at
the first custom house across the from
tier, an official began to question him.
He was first asked if his only line was
that of typeWriterS, and, when he re-
piled that he had a lubricating COM
pound to sell. the official demanded to
know its ingredients. When beeswaX
was mentioned a new line of interroga-
ton was started.
"EaVe you ever been under police
surveillance" asked the official, crisp
ly.
NO replied the American. But
what"
"Have you ever served Il sentence of
three months or more for any criminal
act or misdemeanor?" he was inter
rupted.
At this the salesman became angry.
Are you trying to insult me-" he
cried. what do you mean by asking
such idiotic questions? 1 never stole
anything in my life, and even if did l

in your country. There are other
places. Back home in Gods country
they don't make a man tell what his
great grandmother died of before he is
allowed to sell corn plasters."
The official was unmoved. He made
an entry upon a piece of paper, and
continued:
Have you one or more children not
properly cared for, or who, if between
six and fourteen years of age"
He did not finish the question. There

Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chill
dren, and her condition ruins the child's s
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache. bearing-down pains or
displacement, making life burden.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. 1t strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me.

troubles. L was nervous, tired and ir-
ritable, and it did not seem as though / could

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Sept 25th (Spe-
ciaD-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years; after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. j. o. Lau-
deman of this place found not only
relief but speedy and complete cure
in Dodds Kidney Pills. Speaking Of
his cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, suffered from Kidney Trou-
BILE for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good. Then I took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general. OF course
l recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills
to others and l know a number now
who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Back
acne to Bright's Disease that Dodd 8
Kidney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured

Among the negro race" says the
London specialist who has laid down
the list of rules, "centenarians are ex-
tremely numerous and it is merely be-
cause they unconsciously follow these
rules. They sleep so much, for in
stance, that a negro centenarian
spends only fifty or sixty years out of
his 100 awake, while a white man
would be awake for seventy-five years
of the time"
But the specialist fails to give any
rules by which a white man may
change himself into a negro. Nor is
there any argument given to combat
the natural feeling that one might as
well be dead as asleep. Maybe each In
divldual is good for just so much wear
and tear. And really it doesn't matter
so much how long we live as how well
we live.-Herald Democrat.
