Advance of Steel Bars to $32, Basis Pittsburg, Comes as a Distinct Surprise to the
 Trade.

Cleveland, O., November 21.-(Special)- J. The Iron Tradevlew tomorrow will say The strong tendency toward higher prices of finshed materials noted last week has been emphasized within a few days by the advance of steel bars to the basis of s32, Pittsburg. The price had remained at SS0 since February, 1905, when it was ad- vanced from BPS to 80, Independent inter ests have for some time obtained prem ium of g. per ton over the corporation quotation, but the announcement of the advance by the leading producer and oth- CT large companies came as distinct surprise to the trade.
 Already the principal producer of iron bars has again advanced it's quotations $2 per ton, so that the spread between iron and steel bars remains unchanged It is also expected that an advance ou plates will soon be announced.
 There is apparently considerable dif- ference of orders for northern brands for the second half of next year. It is un- doubtedly true that weather conditions portant effect on the market At seaboard points sales of foreign foundry iron con- tinue chiefly in small lots and it is eX- pected that about a hundred thousand tons will be distributed before the open ing of the new year. Pig iron importa- tions will include considerable quantities ob both basic and Bessemer.

FORTUNE AWAITS SOME ONE
Many Believe That Platinum Can Be Found in the United States, But Russia Now Practically Sup
 plies All Available.

Baltimore, November 21.-(Special9-One of the most interesting pursuits in Amer ica today Is the search for platinum. Wealth awaits the discoverer of the metal in paying quantities upon this continent. Its rapidly increasing use makes il one of the most valuable metals in the world.
 Heretofore it's production has been lim- tied chiefly to Russia and some South American countries. Russia furnishes 70 per cent of the worlds supply, but there are many indications that quantities of it will be mined in the United States in few years a most Several American firms have sent out their own prospectors to search for it, From time to time ru- mors circulate that large deposits of plat mum have been discovered in the United States, but no such mine is being worked so far as the information of the trade goes.
 The price of platinum has gone up greatly within the last three months. 1t is now worth $96 an ounce By January it will probably be up to $40. There is a growing fear among the users of the metal that the supply in this country will be eornered and put up to even a higher prfce

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothinq to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
 ia the safest and most efficient disin- festant and purifier in nature, but few
 realize it's value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present in the stomach
 and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 l Charcoal sweetens the breath after
 smoking, drinking or after eating onions
 and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im-
 proves the complexion, it whitens the
 teeth and further acts as natural and
 eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which
 collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
 infects the mouth and throat from the
 poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in. one form
 or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in
 Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow
 charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form. or rather in the form of
 large. pleasant tasting lozenses, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these iozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but. on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
 the benefits of charcoal says: 'I ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
 patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat;
 I H,l. l..1tA tl,A fe A fited by the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents box at drug stores, and although in some sense patent prepara- tion, yet l believe l get more and bet ter charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Loz- enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets

Cross Currents in Ore Market.

New York, November 2.-The Iron Age of tomorrow will say There are cross currents in the iron ore market. The leading sellers of lake ores have booked orders for the full put of the standard grades for the season of 1901-OS and in the case of certain Bessemer grades, some premiums over the prices recently estab- lished have been asked and paid. On the other hand, a considerable number of eastern furnaces and important pig iron producing interests in the central west have declined to buy as far ahead as the early summer of 1908, on the ground that the prices demanded are so high that they cannot take the risk of any serious decline in pig iron which might develop between the summer of 1907 and beginning of new ore shipments in 1908.
 The eastern pig iron markets continue quite active, the sales including num- Der of good lots of gray forge in central and eastern Pennsylvania, and one lot of 10000 tons of basic pig at $23 delivered The markets for domestic and foreign | foundry iron are stiffening, both reaching forward more as to deliveries and the spot demand remains keen in spite of the
 
 | borough irons are both higher.
 | Steel continued very scarce and Is 1 stiffening in price. Some good orders | have been entered for steel rails, includ- | ing 25,000 tons for the Atlantic Coast Line, l 1S,00 tons for the Gainesville and Gull, | and 5000 tons additional for the Texas and | Pacific It is noted that an unusual num- 1 Der of roads are adding to their earlier | requirements for 1907. The fact that | Chicago fabricators of structural mater
 al have placed contracts for about 25G0O ! tons of shapes for delivery during the | first half of 1907 at current prices Is in- terpreted as indicating that an advance
 may be in sight. Generally speaking, | however, the structural mills are not l crowded with work. The advance of S2 per ton on plates by eastern mills fore shadows an early advance in the official price There has been a heavy business | in steel bars during the past week. dis 1 tributors railroads and manufacturers of | shaped bars for reinforced concrete being | purchasers, in some instances in anticipa | ton of the advance of $2 per ton which was decreed on the 18th. Merchant steel values have also been readjusted. The pipe contract for the lines from the In-
 dian Territory oil fields to the gulf taken l by the National Tube company, involves upwards of 30,000 tons.

All Depends On Russia.

If Russia should prohibit the exporta- ton of platinum it will make trouble in the business and scientific world And in the trade it is regarded as not un- likely that the Russian government may take some such action owing to the dis turbed state of the empire Miners 1t Is said cannot be obtained to get out the ore.
 So far as is known platinum exists in immense quantities in the Ural monn- tains, but the Russian government will not allow any foreigner to go near the mines or to search for platinum. Accord ing to reports circulated among refiners the Russian minister of commerce is now ing d heavy export tax on platinum or prohibiting altogether it's eXportaton. eX- cept after it has been refined in Rus Sia.
 The German government is also awake to the necessity of husbanding the supply of the metal. Last year the Reichstag had several bills under consideration in Germany for other than analytical and scientific work.
 Nearly all the metal now exported from Russia IS in the form of ore. The United States imported in the fiscal year ended June last. 9269 pounds of platinum. valued at $2 ,546 This was more than the worlds annual production fifteen years ago.
 Gold is worth today s2O067 an ounce. while platinum, worth $36 an ounce, is still going up.
