NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Mankind and tho World Frequently
Disappointing to Hopeful Youth,
Says Theodore Parker.

! suppose many OF us are a little
disappointed with mankind The
world of the girls dream is not the
world OF the young woman's actual
sight and touch. and still less Is 1t SO
OF the woman no longer young. In
the moonlight OF dreamy youth, as
we look out OF the windows and re-
1oice In the blooming apple trees, how
dinerent does the world 3eem from
what we find 1t the next day. when in
the heat or a May sun, we go about
and remove the caterpillars from the
scrubby trees. A boy bred In

Of anti-typhoid vaccination. The fE.

FOUNDRY METALS IN DEMAND
Large Volume of Inquiries from East
of AIleRhanies.


NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The most encour-
aging developments in pigiron circles last
week was the large volume of inquiries for
foundry metal east of the Allegheny noun
tains. In the last three days several large
consumers in New York state have come
into the market for 10000 to 1900 tons
while business for 5000 tons has been re-
ceived I'm New England, and pipe works on
the Delaware are ready to close for 10000
to 5000 tons if satisfactory prices can be
arranged.
The contracts actually closed were not of
Importance, but current sales at New
York averaged between 1000 to 5000 tons a
day. Some low prices have been developed
In New England in northern iron and some
Buffalo furnaces are reported to have
reached to $3.50 for No. 2. The Interna-
tional Harvester company is reported to
have closed for some round tonnages in
the Chicago territory and to cover sales
of 1900 tons of castiron pipe for a gas
company in Portland, Ore
Pipe works In the Ohio valley and at Bir-
mingham, Ala, are negotiating for 10000
to 1900 tons of southern pig. In the Pitts
burg district inquiries are out for 10000
tons of malleabe standard Bessemer
The output of pigiron I'm December
dropped to 1,775,0O0 tons but the production
of both pigiron and steel ingots in 1910 was
record breaking. Some banked furnaces
will be low this month, so that output may
be again increased in January. Furnace
stocks increased heavily In the last two
weeks.
Sentiment among manufacturers of fin
ished steel products has shifted and the
majority now seem In favor of temporarily
maintaining prices but one and all are pre-
pared for a radical drop in March The
more rigid holding Of prices has thrown
larger domestic business to the corpora
ton, while Independent companies have suf-
fered correspondence. The corporation
also has secured more export business. and
in consequence some of the banked furnaces
are to become active at once.

BETTER TONE IN COTTON GOODS
Fair Sales of General Lines-Better
Trnde in Fine Work Gondn.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-There is better
tone in the cotton goods market following
fair sales of wide print cloths to printers
some goods for exports and small lots Of
brown and bleached domestic for the job
bling trade.
Fall River sold 10000 pieces last week.
of which $4,000 were for spot delivery, and
for the first three months of the year a
fair rate of sales is noted.
The export business consisted Of 1900
bales Of 4.70-yard and 5-yard sheetings for
China shipment.
Ticketed beached goods for the jobbing
trade are firm and an advance is pending
in consequence of the shortness of stocks
and unwillingness of all mills to accept
further business unless there is margin
of profit.
There has been better trade in many
of the fine wash goods which have come
principally in the way of recorders from
jobbers. The first week in the year is not
normally time of activity, but In the next
two weeks many of the largest tobbers of
the country will be in the market and
operations will broaden slowly. Cotton
blankets and mapped cottons for the fall
season are to be shown next week.
While conservative tone perVades, Ii
was thought by merchants that optimism
was more prevalent at the close of the
week The yarn markets are generally
quiet on the last days of the week and
Inquiries were more general.
The old difficulty of getting prices up to
parity of high cost cotton is still en-
COuntered

CAIIbE-Ihere were only rev catLle
here today, the market being next thing
day For the week receipts have been
quite liberal being about on a par with
the corresponding week of last year. The
severe storm at the beginning of the week
upset the general course OF the market,
thus instead of receipts being heavy as
usual at the beginning of the week and
lighter during the latter half the reverse
was true. As a result during the first
half OF the week under the influence of
the starvation receipts prices rapidly adj
vanced. Later in the week when the de-
mand was smaller as usual the receipts
became much larger and the advance was
pretty much all wiped out SO far as kill
Ing cattle at least were concerned. At
the close beef steers, cows and heifers
are back just about where they were at
the close of the last week or possibly a
little stronger In some cases.
The supply of stock cattle and feeders
was light throughout the whole week,
while the demand was remarkably good
As q result cattle OF that description were
strong every day up until near the
close OF the week and are now a trifle
