mercury tablets and sIashing his throat
with a razor In a boarding house at

at the street house, where several
OF his friends lived.
Because of the bitter cold last night,

three other men occupied. so that Staah
would not have to go out in the cold
He accepted the invitation. and spent

TRADESMAN'S
WEEKLY REVIEW
NEW INDUSTRIES FORMED IN
DIxIELAND DURING THE PAST
WEEK.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 4.-"The
close Of the year" according to this
weeks issue of The Tradesman finds
conditions in the iron market in the
south more active and with a better
feeling than has existed for some
time" Commenting further on this
the Tradesman says:
The difference between the starting
of 1912 and 1911 is that year ago the
demand was on the decline. but the
price around S11 per ton, No.-2 foun-
dry. while the start Of 1912 sees the
price around $40 per ton. No. 2 foun-
dry and the price and demand on the
increase and plenty of business on the
hooks already. That the 1912 condi-
tion is the more encouraging is the
opinion of some of the best posted iron
masters. There is no doubt but that
several of the inquiries in hand for pig
iron for future delivery will result in
the trades being consummated. The
cast iron pipe interests have purchased
literally but it is believed that all
their needs have not vet been secured.
Foundries and machine shops are
soon to take on renewed life. while re-
ports are current that railroads are
looking to much pig iron instead of
steel, some observations having been
made in that direction"
