PIG IRON MARKET
 QUIET BUT FIRM Lake Steamers to Handle Big
 Ore Shipments DEMAND FOR RAILS QUIET Buying of Agricultural Implements Is Most Active Factor In Market. Western Manufacturers Un-
 der Contract.
DEMAND FOR RAILS QUIET

Cleveland, O., June 5.-(Specia1) 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say, that 1t will be easy for lake vessels to make a new record in ore shipments this year Is clearly shown by the movement for May. which amounted to five million, six hundred thousand tons, within two l hundred thousand tons of July of last year, which was the record movement of lakes, and it will not be difficult for ves- sells to handle forty million tons during the season.
 The car shortage, however, Is already being complained of and the railroads will be severely strained to handle the ore received at their lake ports. Buying of agricultural implements is still the most active factor in the mar ket. Contracts for heavy tonnages have been placed within few days. A large l majority of western manufacturers are now under contract. At the close of the season of July 1, 1906-07, steel bar con- tracts will have been completed to an un- usaly extent, and in some instances more | than the tonnages contracted for have been consumed. Specifications are ex- tremely heavy.
 The demand for rails Is not very active, the heaviest order reported being the Chi cago and Northwestern for forty thousand tons for 1908 delivery. The pig iron mar kets are very quiet but firm.
 New York, June 5.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The pig iron markets throughout the country have been very quiet.
 The furnaces are sold far ahead and show little disposition to press iron for more distant delivery, while many buyers have little confidence in the market in view of the general business situation and the financial outlook. The English mar kets are said to have been weakened by reports of decline of $1 per ton on the price of pig iron on this side. There is nothing in conditions here to justify such report. Steel rails sales during the week includes 10000 tons for the Chicago and Northwestern, TOGO tons for the Ar kansas Louisiana and Gulf, 6000 tons for the Wisconsin Central and 5000 tons for the Pennsylvania. The Atchison require ments will aggregate about 5000 tons, of which considerable part will probably be rolled east of the Allegheny moun- tains.
 There have been some renewals of con- tracts for steel billets in the east in lots of POGO and 5000 tons. While sheared plates is not so active and quite early de- liveries can be made. The sheet mills are catching up with their deliveries. The tin plate trade has quieted down.
 The mills, however, are full of business for a long period and it remains to be seen whether the probable loss of ton mage through poor fruit crops will not be made up in other directions.
 The demand for steel cars, notably in the west, Is still very heavy.

" 0 M AN KIND
Fat Man as a Husban.

widow OF South Bend, Ind, is Rd-
vertising in the Chicago papers for a
rat husband. Fat men," she is quot
ed as saying, "are kind. loving, gen.
tie and generally lovable. abhor thin
men, they are so grouchy and mean.
But a nice. rat man with a smooth
face-oh, he's a darlingl"
Ordinarily the fat man considers
himself as rather unavailable for ro-
nance and concludes that il a woman
loves him it must be for his qualities
OF heart and head rather than for his
personal charms.
News of woman who actually pre-
fers fat men should fill the stout fra
ternity with joy. There may be others.
And really. now that we come to think
OF 1t. why should not fat men be more
attractive than thin ones? Three hun
dred and fifty pounds of franl1ness and
good humor and chivalfy should sure
ly be worth just so much more than
$50 pounds. And yet to the romantic
eye of woman they are not. Love and
lean waist are somehow associated
in her mind. 1t is more difficult to
dream day-dreams wherein the hero
has fifty-two-inch waist than where
thirty-two inches or so mark his cir
cumference. Moreover, the idea that
fat persons are better-natured thar
thin ones is. I think. an error. 1t Is
usually a fat man that we see engag.
ed in a wrangle with the Il" car con.
ductor or the Subway guard. The ma.
/ iority Of peevish women l know arc
/ fat. Why should they not be? They
have all the worries that beset the resi-
| Of us. and the problem of trying tC
reduce weight besides.
There is one advantage Of having q
| fat man or a fat woman: we know
the worst at once. To marry a 10.
pound sylph and view her change be
fore ones eyes into Dortly matror
of $50 pounds must surely be a les
agreeable experience than that O
knowing you are acquiring a stou
wife when you marry her. So, too, t.
wed an athlete who from sedentar!
habits and too much beer begins g
assume the proportions of an overfe
battle-ship must carry its delusions
| It took a widow to advertise for
fat husband. Widows, as a rule. ar
practical creatures. They have learn
ed that a mans waist measure is nc
the measure of a man. "A kind hear
and a good income is all any woma
should require in a husband" sal
one of them to me the other day. Th
waist measure has nothing to do wit
either of these excellent qualities. TIL
fat man who possesses them ma
qualify as the widows ideal.

A Remittance.

A Southern lawyer tells Of a Judge
in Arkansas who had several "tiffs
with a lawyer retained by a woman
who had instituted breach of promise
suit in the court presided over by the
judge in question.
After each exchange of repartee be-
tween his Honor and the imprudent
counsel, the judge would say;
CLERK. just enter another fine Of
$40 against Mr.. Mitchell for contempt
of court"
When this sort Of thing proceeded
further than counsel wished. he ad-
dressed his Honor in this wise;
'If your Honor please. / am a good
citizen, and. as such. intend to obey
the orders of the honorable Court in
this. as in all other instances. Now,
your Honor, it so happens that l have
not about me the sum of $50, for which
I have been mulcted for contempt
Therefore. I shall be compelled to bor-
row such sum from some friend; and
I see no one present whose friendship
I have enjoyed so much as your
Honor's. So I make no hesitation in
approaching your Honor for loan to
square the fines assessed against me-
With just the faintest smile about
his lips. his honor looked first at coun-
sci and then at the clerk.
Clerk" said he at last remit Mr..
Mitchelrs fines The state is better
able than 1 to lose sS0."-Harper' RS
Weekly.
