Matthew Addy & Coz 8 Cincinnati report says:
 The iron market is decidedly more ac- tive, and more interest has been exhibited during the past week than for several months. It is a peculiar thing that this activity seems to have come immediately on the decision of the large southern pro- ducers to reduce their $14 Birmingham No. foundry price. During the early part of this week quite a large tonnage was booked on the basis of s13.50, and there are rumors of round lots that went at even less. The large consumers who have been waiting for something to happen" are now sending out liberal inquiries. and in dications are that a very large tonnage will be booked during the last two weeks in June. This decline in southern iron will no doubt have more of a stimulating ef- feet than otherwise on the market for there are a great many buyers who have felt that this must come and who have put off covering their future requirements buying from week to week only enough to help them out. Now that southern and more equal basis these people are asking
 
 big melters in this country have bought what iron they will need during the bal ance of this year. and most of them are practically uncovered for the last half or even for the third quarter. The general foundry business, which usually falls off ir the summer time, Is exceptionally good. The cast iron pipe industry Is Gourisling. and the steel rail trade Is better today than has ever been known. The produe- ton of pig iron in the south is still short, and at least one-fourth of the furnaces are now out of blast, either undergoing re- pairs or on account of shortage of raw materials There Is quite a demand for Ohio irons, and some very nice orders have been taken during the past few days. Bessemer and basic for prompt shipment are almost unknown. and there seems to be every prospect that the scarcity of Bessemer will continue throughout the entire balance of 1906, and prices have already taken another advance One large sale of Bessemer was reported yesterday at $7.75 valley.

BRISK SELLING IN
 P|G IRON MARKET The Consumers Are Now Eager
 for Metal COKE IN GOOD DEMAND Iron Trade More Active Than at Any Them In Months Past-Large Sales at SIS and Up
 wards.

The Birmingham iron market is decd- for several months past. Large sales have been made this week at prices ranging from SIS to s1350 on a No ? foundry basis It is usually the case when the price drops for consumers to hold off, hoping to buy at still lower prices; but this time the first decline brought buyers into the market with a rush
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for the current week follows:
 Activity has been the feature of the pig iron market There has been steady increase in buying and inquiries in hand indicate renewed and vital interest in conditions generally. The rumors of buy ing movement which have been published recently appeared to have made good and probably as large a tonnage was booked as has been closed during the same time for three months past
 The fact that the recent understanding between some of the Birmingham fur naces as to basis of prices for southern pig iron has been disrupted and prices on southern iron demoralized accordingly. has had it's effect in the market and large tonnage of southern iron has been placed.
 The efforts to throw heavy trade to the south have had no influence on prices of northern iron and from all appear
  furnaces have been strongly intrenched for several weeks on account of large business on hand and small tonnage un- sold available for delivery during the bal ance of this year; in most instances this amounting to little less than what can be said to be a supply for emergency calls from customers with whom brand is a favorite.
 Sales of Bessemer and basic continue and recent heavy transactions in the Pittsburg district have created dis tnct scarcity of these grades.
 The effort on the part of southern fur naces to get business by indiscrminate cutting of prices still has to prove it's excuse for coming at this time. It Is likely, as has been the case in the past under similar conditions, that momentary furry in downward direction will shortly have a strong reaction in the opposite way.
 Coke in general is in excellent demand and the presence of a number of fur naces in the market for three and six months supply has stimulated trade con siderably.

 The morning was spent solely in the enjoyment of the outing which was made most pleasurable by anticipations awak- ened by the aroma arising from the bar becuing of meats, which about noon were done full justice to by hundreds of mem bers of the brotherhood, their wives and friends.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

Political advertising IS coming to be recognized as very important feature in elections these days. Candidates seeking election are inclined to take advantage of the opportunities which the advertising columns Of a newspa- per present and to talk their views and their reasons for seeking election to the voters in the issues of the pub Hcation instead of doing the impossible in a personal canvass. There have been so many great campaigns in re- cent years that have been wen by pro ger advertising that the importance of this feature in an exciting cam paign cannot be miniElized.
 Every newspaper has to discriminate between news and advertising. The fact is that sometimes the only diTer- enee is that the first-named is printed gratis and the second is paid for. When it comes to political advertising the difficulty in drawing the line Is more serious. because the personal

He evidently has been read ing what the republican newspapers in that state have to say about the characters of the incumbents.

The present force is working on the grading. The steel and ties have not arrived. The principal use of the road is for the shipping of ores. A great deal of ore has been shipped already, but the cost is much greater than it will be with railroad, and when completed there will be an increased force put into the mine. A depth of 500 feet has been attained in the Copper Hill and jG0 feet in the Black Hawk. The ore bodies proved up are satisfying. and the mines will doubtless come into the class of larger producers of Arizona. 4 fine strike of 12 per cent carbon ate has been encountered at the bot tom of the Black Hawk. The large lodes of ore in these mines average four to five per cent copper and 90 10 10 per cent iron.
 It is expected that work is soon to be started on the promising property Of the Apache Consolidated Copper Gu. located nine miles northeast of Globe.

WONDERFUL ACTIVITY
 REPORTED AT GLOBE

A Correspondent Of the Arizona Re publican sends the following from Globe:
 As one travels through the various towns Of Arizona more or less is heard of the boom mining towns. Globe comes within this classification, and on visiting the Globe mining dis trict. one who visits most parts of Arizona, will at once note the decided activity and rapid growth of Globe.
 GlaD5 is thc center of big copper beit that is opening up number of rich and Iimitless copper ore bodies. The Old Dominion mine. one of the best known copper producers of the west, of course has been and is the source of life for the town of Globe.
 However, other mines are being opened nearby, that are becoming housc hold words in Globe.
 There are about 5000 people living in Globe. This is about double the population of less than two years ago. So rapidly has the population increas- ed, that notwithstanding the fact that many small residences are being built constantly, there are many families waiting for the completion of cottages. Large districts and hill tops where a year ago there were no houses, are now covered with cottages. There are but few pretty homes being built, for the great demand is for three to five rccm cottages fer rental purposes oGd rent for from SIS to s25.
 As an instance, a year ago "Pascoe HIP had but enc home. It was plat ted and lots were sold for S10 apiece. Now lots are worth S200 to S400 each. AEd there are no less than fifty c,.t. t..ges which have heen built here.
 There are about 2500 men employed in the mines. which means a pay roll of something over S2OQOO0 a month for Globe. About POGO men are employed by the Old Dominion.
 Will Globe continue tC grow is the question often asked. Few there are in Globe that do not think so. The business men back up that opinion by he expenditure of vast sums in mod ern business blocks, many of which are not surpassed by those of any town in Arizona. Many are four story buildings, substantial and beautiful in modern architecture.

r.UND DERIMl UNCLE SAM.

The armor plate contract recently let by the navy department is inter esting mainly because it shows that the government has been paying vastly too much for it's armor plate, under the law that requires it To pur- chase armament and armoy of domes- tic manufacture fer vessels authoriz- sed." The Midya,e company, of Phila- delphia offered to furnish the mater ial for s345 a ton, while the trust which consists of the Carnegie con- pany and the Bethlehem company of fered 10 furnish it at about 1892 a ton-making a difference of SAT Q ton.
 Of course, the Midvale company would, under. ths law, have got the contract for the entire amount re quired, if it had insisted on it. But the trust reduced its bid to the level of that of the Midfale company; and was awarded one-half of the work. with the apparent consent of its rival. It is said that an understand ing was reached for effecting a mer- ger with the Midvale company, in order to avoid future competition: and that it was this merger proposition which brought about the agreement to GiYiae the present contract between the successful and the unsuccessful bidders. So that next year, the new combine will get all the work at the highest price, unless the law limiting ture" should be repealed, so as to al low purchases abroad.
 It was clearly shown in the course of debates in the senate several years ago, that armor plate could be manufactured il this country at a cost not exceeding s225. a ton. And yet, in 1900, and prior years thereto, the government paid the trust s545 a ton; thus giving the trust clear profit of S320 ton. In 1903 the gov eTnment paid the trust s452 ton, leaving the trust profit of S227 a ton. This year, it pays only s345 a ton: still leaving a profit of s120 g ton. And now that the old monopoly has been re-established by taking into the trust the only independent armor plate factory in the country, the old price of s545 a ten will be restored.
 The democrats in congress have been trying for years to secure a gov ernment armor plate factory, but with out success. They have also striver to repeal the iniquitous law which limits the purchase of armor plate tC domestic manufactures. but have beer thwarted by the republican majority With the aid of the republican party the trust has robbed the people ot money enough to build score of ar nor plate factories and will continue to rob them until that party is driver from power When it comes to re warding the trusts that furnish cam paign funds, the republican party cer tainly does things"
 In comparing democratic promise with republican performances, thi! hoary, but lusty, armoT plate stee must not be lost sight of It is on, performance" which democrats vii never repeat.

A NEW ROUTE TO THE ADIRON-
DACK MOUNTAINS AND THE
THOUSAND ISLANDS.

For the summer season of 1906
the New York Central Railroad has
inaugurated two new Pullman Buffet
Sleeping Car Lines, which will give
the great population residing south
of Jersey City a most convenient and
complete service to and from all
points in the Adirondack Mountains
and the Thousand Islands region.
Through Pullman buffet sleeping
cars are operated via the Pennsylva-
mia, West Shore, and the New York
Central Railroads, daily, except Sun
day, between Philadelphia and Lake
Placid, and connection is made by
these cars at Jersey City with Pull
man buffet sleeping cars running via
the West Shore and New Jersey Gem
trail railroads to Clayton, N. Y, one
of the principal gateways to the
Thousand Islands region.
The picturesque Adirondack Noun
tains and the beautiful Thousand
Islands are especially popular during
the months of July and August.
The great motor boat races will be
a special attraction at the Thousand
Islands in August, and this whole
region is famous for it's cool breezes,
it's great hotels, its canoeing and
fishing, its cottage and camp life, its
winding channels and picturesque
shores.
The beautiful lakes, the crystal
streams, the wooded slopes and rug
ged peaks of the Adirondack Noun
tains allure the lover of beauty, and
the fine hunting and fishing attract
the sportsman. Raquette Lake, Long
Lake, the Topper Lakes, Cranberry
Lake, the Saranacs and Lake Placid
all give one an idea of the beauty
and charm of this land of the thou
sand lakes"
The Adirondack Mountains and
the Thousand Islands are both won
derfully attractive regions, and they
are made more convenient of access
for a vast number of people by these
newly established lines.
