IRON AND STEEL.

There was again considerable activity
last week in the placing Of contracts for

Fe 1900 tons for the Ontario & Western.
snd 900 tons for the New Jersey Central
The total railroad orders called for a little
over 10000 tons, and building contracts
for about 10000 tons Of steel shapes. Ten

PRINT CLOTH MARKET.

Fall River, Mass, July 23.-There was
decidedly quiet trading in the print cloth
market last week. and the total sales are
estimated at 1900 pieces, OF which 10000
pieces were spots. Contracts extend through
the next few weeks, although the NUMBER
,s small and the volume concerned OF
meagre proportions.
BUYERS manifested very little interest, and
what little trading was accomplished was
in the line OF immediate delivery. on the
other hand. mills granted concessions in
some instances. but they failed to arouse
buyers 10 that extent which would be ex-
pected under ordinary conditions. For a.
inch. 56x5s. and 2-inch. 56x52, prices nave
gone a full eighth Of a cent the quotation
for the former now being 27s cents and for
the latter q. cents.
In New York concessions have amounted
10 more than one-quarter OF cent. some
mills are ready TO utilize the cotton they
now have on hand and stand ready TO as
nose OF the finished product at the pest
nrices that can be obtained, although II is
conceded by everybody familiar at all with
the cotton goods situation that quotations
as they now stand represent distinct loss.
Curtailment last week amounted TO 2oopn
pieces The cotton yarn market is Very
o,,iet. and advces from New York ara
PHILADELPHIA are TO the effect that condi-
tons are very quiet.
The cloth quotations for last week are as
follows: 2S-inch. 64x64, 3'sc nominal; 70
inch. 64xe0, SIC nominal; N-inch axSS 3'.c
bid 3 5-16c asked; 27-inch. 5sX56, 25sc; u
inch. 56x52, 2%c SS11-inoh. 64x64, 41sc bid
5c asked, 8s-inch, 6sx72, SIC bid. Size asked
The New York cotton goods markets
have been quiet and weak under the com
bined influence OF light demand and of
settling In the raw cotton market Az the
NOW crop year approaches. The drastic
revlsions made IN prices on bleached mus
Iins have led buyers TO hope for reductions
all along the line Selling agents are not
in a mood 10 act quickly. as IL must be
some months before actual cotton can he
secured on which the mills may work. and
I'm the mean time the goods to be sold arc
those made from the high priced crop OF
the past months. The quiet general trade
all over the country has served 70 empha'
size the difficulties cotton mills are finding
I'm getting prices anywhere near a basis OF
profit. and while there is very large re-
striction OF production being forced. the
demand for goods seems 70 fall away as
Rapidly as curtailment increases.

The Farmer Boy

We are not given to ting but
we are proud of the farmer boys OF
this vicinity. They are, with rare
exceptions a healthy, intelligent and
happy class of young men. We
feel like taking our hat clear OFT
when we meet them upon the streets,
and no class is more welcomed to
our Office Too many boys
leave the farm where they would
have made substantial and good citi'
zens, and go to the city where only
one in thousand succeed in life's
battle. There are farmers who
fairly drive their boys away
There is no excuse for this. The
farmer boy is entitled to his vaoa'
tions. to several relaxations, his
visits to the city, good books,
magazines and his home p'per' TC
the observing one it is plain to be
seen that the old farm is the best
place in the world for the average
young man and never fails to bring
a happier and more useful life thar
the city. Young men, you who
till the soil aud earn your bread by
the sweat of your brow, we arr
proud of you; our latchstring II
always out to you and you will al
ways have friend in this paper

TAKE CARE OF THE FARM MACHINERY
1t is now about time we are
through with farm implements for
a while. Farm machinery Is often
sadly neglected when not in use
1t Is not uncommon to see cultiva-
tors, drills, plows, hay rakes,
mowers and etc. lay ont all winter
IN the held where they were last
used or In the barnyard. Here thew
are exposed to the sun. rain and
snow at all times of the wear, and
actually depreclate from such ey.
Posure more than the wear caused
by use.
10 leave machinery exposed to all
kinds of weather has the same effect
as 1t would have on house. furni.
lure i've stock, or anything that
nature has not provided with pro.
lection against the elements. One
OF the best investments on the farm
Is good machine shed IN which al
machinery can be put when not in
USE Statistics show that such an
investment will mean a return of
80 per cent on the money invested
1t increases the life of macbinerv
90 to 100 per cent. Even at the
present price of lumber, a machine.
shed l6xS2, well built, and put on
concrete foundation would cost
only about 1925. Such a building
Will house all the farm impl ementes
used on an average farm.
10 figure the life of such 2 bu;Id
ing at fifteen years with a small
ou!lay Tor an occasional cost of
paint, will make the annual coat of
sheItering all the machines on tho
Larm less than ten dollars per wear.
such small annual cost will pav
many fold IN its saving on the de-.
probation of machinery.
A little time used in overbapIiro
and cleaning up each piece Of ma'
cninery when one is through with
1t, is well spent. Tighten m oil

Fifty years ago there was some
excuse for bad roads, for our coun'
try was poor. Now it is rich, there
is no excuse. A good road is al
ways to be desired and is a source
of comfort and convenience to every
traveller. Good roads attract pop
ulation as we'll as good schools and
churches. Good roads improve the
value of property, so that it is said
a farm lying from market connect
ed by bad road is of less value
than an equally good farm connect
ed by good road. A larger load
can be drawn by one horse over a
good road than by two over a bad
one.-Atkins Chronicle.
