The Iron Trade

Pig iron is still in the trenches fight ing against low prices and small inquiry Is the way Matthew Addy & Co.'s Gin cinnati report for this week starts off.
 l, goes on to say: "The first of these foes holds his own with only a sign here and there of wavering. The sec- ond has for sometime been on the re- treat, but he is not yet on the run, by any means But as matter of fact, pig iron is in better shape than four months ago. The change from week to week is so small as to be almost imperceptible, but when today is compared with last November. for example, it is evident that there is an improvement, though this lies mainly along the lines of increased con- sumption. More iron Is being melted. The furnaces arg shipping at heavier ratc and they are in many cases asked to rush cars ahead of time. Of course, this is the beginning of better things for until iron is in free demand there can be no real improvement. As for prices, here and there better prices are obtain able. but generally speaking the best that can be said is that prices are firner.
 ''One of the most promising signs of the times is the activity of speculators. Evidently they are convinced that the worst is over for they are inquiring for large blocks of iron which they wish to store and hold for higher prices. One block of 10000 tons of southern iron this week was sold to a speculator who paid s9.5O f. o. b Birmingham spot cash for No. foundry. Other considerable trans- actions of this kind are now being ne- Gotiated. The coke market is more ac- tiye''

Growth of Cotton Seed Industry

The proposed new cotton seed crushing mill at Woodlawn brings to mind the wonderful growth of that industry in the last 70 years,' said Percy Clark.
 Tn the infant stages of this now great industry, whose story correlatively runs with the development of the great coal tar dye-making industry of Germany, very little attention was paid to the mat ter. Cotton seed fetched only s6 to $s per ton. the oil was in but little demand the hulls had no market; there were no lin- ters taken from the seed. Today great business, stable and standardized, has been developed in crushing cotton seed. Over G00,0O0 bales of cotton fibre are year ly marketed which by its very nature and cleanliness fills a place in our economic life. Today, although cotton is selling for two-thirds of it's average value for the two preceding erops--S cents-cotton seed is selling for top-notch prices-$3O per ton. lrf tf
 There is nothing unhealthy about a cotton seed oil mill; the odors are of cooking cotton meal are not unpleasant; the dust does not travel far; there is no noisy machinery to disturb dwellers near by. The laborers employed are orderly, good citizens, making good wages

GOSSIP IN LONDON
rom the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 Writing to MT. Linnane. J. F., of Ennis, Ireland. William Redmond, M. P, for East Clare, announces that he has offered himself to the Irish brigade. He states that he does so because he Is convinced that the future freedom, welfare and hap piness of the Irish people depend upon the part Ireland plays in this war.
 '"There may be a few" he adds "who think that the Germans would not injure Ireland, and that they would even ben eft her. hope the Clare people will rely on no such statements If the Ger mans come here-and they will if they reach Great Britain-they will be our mas ters, and we shall be at their mercy. What that mercy is likely to be, judge by the treatment given to Belgium"
 Here's another version of Tipperary. And this time it is a puzzler. It was sent by an eminent scholar. It is in a lan- guage known to few people If you are wishful to sing it you should pronounce the combined letters "dh'' like "th'' in ''this." like the Welsh "dd." The vowels are sounded more or less as in Italian.

 "On an occasion like this,'' said Lord Reay it is but fitting we should pay homage to the Indian troops for the mag nificent way in which they have been 1 fighting, and am sure I am but express ing the sentiments of us all when I say how deeply we feel their loyalty and how much we admire the very humane way in which they have fought.

state Scandals and PccuIations

''The garbage committed of the legisla- ture has dug up more little scandals and peculatons than ever before befell the lot of the state," said an old citizen.
 'The people of the state are wondering if other departments of the state govern ment has a bad streak all it's own yet to be uncovered. It seems that with all of the boasted vigilance of examiners, there are examiners who failed to thor oughly examine. Perhaps after the muck raking, garbage moving work of the committee, we shall be cleansed, thor oughly laundered, and henceforth every body will be honest and faithful in the states service.''

Missouri RiverNew
Low Water Mark
Unprecedented Low Stage Of Water in
Missouri River this Spring Small
Rivers Reported Nearly Dry

The ice in the Missouri river
went out last week, the brcak-up
occurring April 5th. The expected
annual spring rise has so far failed
to matorializc, and at this writing
the river Is lower than ever before
within the memory of 1.-The oldest
inhabitant.
j. M. Carignan who has lived at
Fort Yates 81 years, says that tho
present low stage of water in tho
Missouri is unprecedented, and in.
stead Of raising as usual at this
season the river is falling as can bc
seen by the big sand bars which arc
becoming moro prominent daily.
AT first it was Thought that the
falling OF the river was due to an
ice gorge somewhere up the river,
but such is not the case and ~"
satisfactory explanation has been
advanced 40 far why the water is
falling. There were heavy SHOWS
all through the country along the
river anu us tributaries ltic past
winter, and high water was expect
ell by residents along tln. river.
The same condition prevails along
the Grand river, the Cedar and
tannonball rivers, all these streams
being practically dry, and no l,igl,
water is expected until the June
raise. Louis Endrcs has kept II
record OF the dates on which the ice
i'll the Missouri river broke up for
several years. The earliest date
was March 2, which happened back
in the Eighties, while the latest
date was April l5, 1897. The
dates of the breaking for the. past
few years are: 1912, April 3; 1913,
Aprii 4; 1914, March Is.
