PIG iron and diamonds are the true
blrometcrs OF trade conditions. When
iron is prosperous. with strong de.
mand and high prices. precious stones
are always In the ascendant. Last
year the production OF pig iron
reached the enormous total OF 5000.
900 tons. the price rose. and at the
present time iron products cannot be
obtained at deliveries sooner than
four to six months. Last year the

largest amount In our history. Dia-

He was knocked down, but was imme-

soldier to the Virginia Hospital. Mr..
irving was only slightly injured, and
was all right last night
According to the reports from the
hospitals there seems to have been

the hospitals. only three being admits

Only three veterans sought admit

they were suffering from only minor

Mr.. w. B. Bradley. Of Manchester.
