ORDERS PLACED
FOR IRON AND STEEL,
While Business Is Falling OF There II
No Indication of a Panicky
Feeling in the Trade.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 3.-The lron
Trade Review, issued today, says:
Total obligations on the books OF the Dig
iron and steel producers are decreasins
from week to week, but they are working
around to readjust themselves to new con-
ditions. The situation is being taken
philosophically, and there are no indica.
lions of what with the greatest stretch OF
the imagination could be construed as a
panicky feeling.
To the fact that the railroads are doing
very little buying is attributed the lack of
interest at this time in new buying. except
for immediate requirements on the part OF
those interests which have not already
covered. The pig-iron market is without
feature, and, aside from a few scattered
lots, involving small ~tonnages, there has
been no movement of note.
Structural bookings of September aggre-
gate more than 100. 600 tons, of which only
about $4,000 tons went to the American
Bridge Company. The bulk of the bust
ness placed was made up of small jobs, on
which competition was very brisk and in
dependent interests shared literally. The
McClintie Marshall Construction Company
took a 1~.900-ton bridge order from the
| Chicago and Northwestern. Grade cross
irg work is coming out well, Western
roads being in the market for more than
5000 tons. The Carnegie Steel Company
has sold a lot of $500 tons of steel bars
for concrete reinforcement, and there Is a
Philippine inquiry for 300 tons.
Export business is improving. An in
quiry IS current for 2O,N tons of 45-pound
rails for Turkey, Chile is asking tenders
of important bridge tonnages, a large
cantilever bridge is to be built at Canton,
China, and it is understood that the I'm
perial Railway of Japan has closed for
5000 tons of bridge material. Twelve more
barges are to be bought for Panama.

EAT 1000 DOGS A YEAR.

In 1906 there were slaughtered for food
in the Kingdom of Saxony 2,922 horses
and 3.736 Dogs This was an increase of
224 horses and 1873 dogs over the year 1905.
In the whole empire in 1906, according to
the Southern Farm Magazine, there were
slaughtered for food $4,000 horses, and il
is estimated that about 1000 logs go into
food ir the empire annually.
'Horseflesh is very generally advertised
in the German newspapers, especially m
those of the large industrial centres" savs
United States Consul lift, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market which
makes it a specially, claiming for il a
higher percentage of nourishment than
that of either beef, veal, mutton or pork
Neither is it unusual to find advertise
ments of dog meat or for the purchase of
dogs for slaughter. Nor is it possible to
read the German newspapers for any
length of time without coming to the CON
clusion that a great many dogs are killed
and eaten that do not give up their lives
| under official inspection.
News items detailing the arrest, trial,
conviction and punishment by fine or i'm
prisonment of men charged with killing
and eating dogs that belonged to others
sometimes aluable animals or cherished
household pets, are not ~infrequent.s

lRELAND'S FAIR.
The Exhibition at Dublin Marks a New
Epoch in the Green Isles History.

In Herbert Park, not far from the
heart of Dublin city and partly on the
site of Donnybrook Fair of unSavory
memory, stand the white buildings of
the Irish International Exhibition. The
difference between these nobl palaces
and the rickety booths of Donnybrook
is symbolic of the difference between
the old Ireland and the new; of the
deeply significant renascence and
awakening of a nation. Ireland's fair
might well be called her birthday cele-
bration. Donnybrook Fair used to be
the trading-place for all the peasants
and small farmers and petty shop
keepers of the country who could ride
or walk to the spot, for this was their
great social centre. In the retrospect,
! D~onnybroolS may seem picturesque, as
showing the Irish, joy in living, the
bravery and song. But actually, in its
wasting and cheating, its frothy politi-
cal talk and purposeless fighting,
D~onnybrbok showed the bitter effect
of a cruel land system fSrced on Ire
land by a people who could never
understand her.
But the old Ireland is dead, and there
is a new Ireland, becoming more and
more unified and coherent through a
variety of causes chief of which are
the new land system and the recent
industrial development. Now the peas
ant may himself be a small land
holder. He lives, or may live, in a
decent house. His younger sons,
through the new technical education
offered by the government, may be
fitted for skilled labor. His wife and
daughters may supplement his earn
ings by their work in home industries.
And all that ireland is and all that
she will become are wildly suggested
by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. a New
Ireland in E~verybody's.

ment buying. however, goes on a very
small scale all the time.
A hnancier who has just returned from
Butte says the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany is producing in the n~eighborhood Of
30 per cent. of its normal output. A large
percentage of the miners laid off have
gone to work on the st. Paul extension.
He anticipates that IL there is no improve
ment In the situation the mines will close
down completely within a very short time.
Post & Flagg say: There has been little
real liquidation during the past week. but
the conditions described above prevent any
organized support on large lines and af-
ford a tempting opportunity to bear
operators who are only checked when the
market gets badly oversold and by the
slow but steady absorption which Is going
on through small investment purchases.
Theodore II. Price today made public an
estimate of the cotton crop by counties
compiled from postal card replies OF an
average late of September 10. The total
indicated crop, including hat for the
season, is given as 1868, 010 bales, as COM
pared with IS, 595, S7S bales last year.
The rise in call money to 10 per cent. IN
New York has brought to the attention OF
Wall Street in a more emphatic form the
possibilities of a period of tight money
during the rest of the erop-moving season,
and in consequence the professional ele-
ment continues. If anything more bearish
than before that New York will expert
ence 1urries in the money market for the
next fortnight is generally conceded by
banking interests usually best informed on
the money situation. On the other hand
it appears that the Treasury Department
has at its disposal a sufficient amount OF
funds available for public deposits 70
avert any serious effects in the already
stringent money market.

BANK Nus PAY FOR
"POCKET SAVERS"
Jury After Two Hours Deliberation
Gives Verdict Against East
Orange Bank.

After a two hours Elaboration a jury
in Circuit Court B before Judge Heisley
today returned a verdict of $947.14 in favor
of j. B. Weir & Co. and against the
Savings Investment and Trust Company
of East Orange. The verdict covered the
full amount claimed.
AS told yesterday, the plaintiff company
had brought suit to recover for work done
in the distribution and sale for the bank
people of 5000 miniature savings banks,
known as pocket savers"
AS the testimony showed, the plaintiff
concern had performed its work faithfully,
but the investment proved to be a poor
one for the bank, as $15.15 in deposits only
was realized. That was the chief reason
why the officers Of the East Orange insti-
tuition refused to pay for the pocket
savers" and the suit followed.
