One day ne was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived
a great affection for a well-known

science, who, although generally
esteemed, was nf very humble Semitic
origin.
Not quite determined as to what
course of action he should take, he
sent for the prospective bridegroom
with the intention uf talking matters
over. After some conversation he
said:
"And now, sir, l should like to
know something about your family"

ing disposition to slacken its pace.
While specifications on finished products
continue very heavy there is not the
rush of last month and at some mills
easier conditions are beginning to prevail
In foundry pig iron there is a noticeable
decrease in demand, with some indications
of weakness, particularly in the south.
The leading pig iron transactions of
the week was a purchase of 10000 tons
of standard Bessemer by the Jones &

Bessemer association and the other half
by w. P Snyder & Co.
The sale of 1900 tons of basic by a
Buffalo producer is reported and inquiries
for 10000 tons of basic from Chicago ter
ritory are pending.
In southern territory the tonnage of
pig iron available on basis of S14 90 for
No. for prompt shipment is increasing
Some weakness is anticipated in Tennes-
see irons. Although in the Pittsburg and
valley districts most furnace interests
are firmly adhering to recent quotations,
q disturbing factor is one company which
is making concessions in order to obtain
orders. Plate manufacturers estimate
that from 25000 to $4,000 cars are now be-
ing figured on. Rail sales of the week
amounted to about 100000 tons by the Hill
nois Steel company to a number of roads,
20 900 tons by the Tennessee Coal Iron
and Railroad company to the Illinois Cen
trail and 24,o00 by the Carnegie Steel COM

ty of crude steel in the central west is
to be relieved by the Sparrows Point
mill, which will roll 5000 tons of Besse-

The rail business is light with western

mill can be turned over to roll billets.
Unless the rail business improves other
rail mills will probably be placed on bill
