FINISHED STEEL
PRODUCT PRICES.
Advances Have Not Been Very Great
and They Were Mostly Made

The Iron Trade Review says: ut should
be observed TINT prices of finished steel
products did not advance at the time pig
iron was moving up to the high point
from which 1t has lately declined. Nearly
all the advances which have occurred in
finished steel products In the past eighteen
months occurred In the fourth quarter OF
last year. while in November and Decem-

In large lots was not over S22 valley. De-
spite the decline which has occurred In
Bessemer pig iron In the past six weeks
the market Is now not lower than IT was
In the closing months of lalst year. after
finished steel products had been advanced.
In the past twelvemonth, or from August
/, 1906, to date, the advance OF all finished
steel products, having regard to tonnage,
does not average more than about 81 per
ton. Plates and merchant bar products
advanced 50 a ton. and while the lighter

WILL THE WHIPPING
POST GO N0W7
Warden of Delaware workhouse
Says It Is a Disgusting and Worth
less Relic of Barbarism.

WILMINGTON. Deb. Aug. 19.-Hls
every word voicing disapproval of the
whipping-post as a means of reform
ing criminals, Asmond S. Meserve, late
chief warden at the New Castle county
workhouse. declared today that he can
no longer stand as an agent in carrying
out this form of corporal punishment.
In short, the Delaware whipping-post
has forced from the management of
the w~orkhouse one of the most efficient
prison officials in this section of the
country.
II cannot longer stand for the Della
ware whipping -post." said Meserve. IT
have made a very careful and unbiased
study of the effect of the whipping
post IN men of this class, and have
come to the conclusion that it is all
bad. 1t brings out in a man all thai
is r~evengeful and hurtful, and he ar
rays himself against law, order and So
ciety."
The whipping-post has been a Della
ware institution for more than a CEN
tury. At a recent session of the Della
ware Legislature the wisdom of abol-
ishing it was fully discussed, but the
Legislature failed to do so, although
the pillory. which was just as old as
the whipping-post, and far less cruel,
was done away with.
