THE IRON TRADE.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.I

by Telegraph to The Tribune
Cleveland, Dec 6.-'"The Iron Trade Review to-
morrow will say:
Tremendous sales Of iron ore have been made
during the week. Never before in the history of
the trade have the aggregate sales been so large
at this time of the year Although shipments
this year were &5UiI,S44 tons up December l,
which was 6O0O,0UO tons in excess of the shipments
for the same period in the record year Of lS0-,
nerous furnaces finding that they have not
fully provided for requirements up 20 the opening
Of navigation next year. PTohting by this expert
ence furnaces in the Central West have been
tive IN making contracts for ore for 1906 Eastern
buyers are, however surprisingly slow in coming
into the market The Willingness of furnace in
terests to contract at early a date furnishes
strong evidence Of confidence in the continuing
prosperity Of the iron business.
The terrific storm of last week the lakes was
the most disastrous ever experienced by vessels of
modern construct and has aroused much dis
cusSion its effect the building of steel yes
sells. The storm demonstrated that the large new
vessels have not sufficient power of engines to
make certain the ability to keep from gong ashore
during 8 storm of such great velocity of wind and
long duration as that OF last week. Already or
ders have been given for three large freighters OF
higher power, and this policy Will Doubtless be
generally followed by shipbuiiders. Other changes
may be made the result of recent experiences
put there Is no danger that the building of steel
vessels will be checked.

OF decreased buying of pig iron It is rather early

a Marriage Announcement

The following notice of a marriage
we clip from our esteemed contem-
porarS, the High Springs Hornet. 1t
will prove interesting reading to our
subscribers:
by mutual consent, Mr.. Ed Ward
and Miss , Gussie Garland, two
betroths. who have been deeply Ell
quilted in love for some time, suffer
ed Cupid'5 arrows to make d senti
mental hit last Saturday evening,
when Mr.. Ward secured d horse and
buggy, and went to the home of his
intended espousal's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. E. Garland, and while the
back of the prospective mother-in-
law was turned to some decoyment of
artificial gravity, Mr.. Ward gave his
intended the wink, when they both
rushed TO the vehicle which was in
readiness, and made good their
escape from under the oppressive
echoes of bitter denunciation. The
couple proceeded to Lacrosse. and
there the bride-elect was secreted
until marriage license could be
secured. In the development of time
the ceremony was performed for the
protection of our moral society, after
which the newly made couple, whose
hearts We're made to beat as one, re-
turned to High Springs, where the
groom olds lucrative position with
the A &. l.. railway. The bride is
beautiful young lady of a lovabie dis
position, possessed with much domes-
tic ambition, which will tend to make
the futures of both a success"
