BEGINNING THE DAY-Help me, 0 my God, to write myself in some thing more enduring than mere stone. May my life grave itself in the hearts of men, whom Thou shalt enable me to love and to help. Grant me to leave behind me a monument of good deeds and gentle thoughts. In Christ's name. Amen.---H. M. k.

The Iron Market

The local iron market continues strong and active with prices unchanged-$11 for present delivery and SIP 50 for 1916 deliv- cry. Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati circu- 1 lar says in part:
 About the last to fall in line have
 been the charcoal iron furnaces, whose offices were advanced during the past l week. Southern iron is not yet being of fered for the first half. From the fur | naceman's point of view at least the | beauty of it all is that good, big orders for all grades continue to be entered at I these advancing prices. The weekly re- i ports received from our offices through out the country show an increased ton
 mage placed in practically every district. "Conditions generally seem to furnish plenty of ammunition for the bulls The
 French and Russian governments have re- gently placed large orders for rails and railway equipment. Several good sized
 orders were also placed by our domestic
 roads. It seems to be impossible to sup ply the demand for machine tools. Con
 sessions granted by employers appear to
 have satisfied labor, and both are ap-
 parently marching shoulder to shoulder
 toward better times.
 The publicity which has been given
 to purchases of iron for speculation has
 led some to believe that a great tonnage
 of this will soon be thrown upon the
 market, causing decided weakness But
 in spite of a large increase in produc-
 ton since the first of the year, orders
 are being placed at rapidly increa sing
 prices. The greater production does not
 appear to have affected prices. With con
 ditions generally improving. this specula-
 tive iron will be absorbed without the least 1 effect on the market"
