Other Sales.

''htN iio' ~ MI o'
ditional purchase of about $4,000 tons Of
pig iron in this country. made UP Of Ave
different lots, including foundry and
besscmer. The interesting fact concern
ing these sales Is that most Of the ton
mage was secured at lower prices than
are being quoted for bessemer iron in the
Central va~lleys-that is, in the Mahon-
Ing and S~henango valleys. According to
reports current here. two American in
terests are buying up speculative lots OF
both Southern and Northern iron for
shipment to the Mediterranean. Among
the purchases reported yesterday was
one lot OF 1000 tons OF standard besse-
mer iron on the basis Of s2o.25 valley
furnace. which. with a s2.14 freight rate.
makes the price along shipside $22.39.
Another lot of 1900 tons Of high man.
ganese bessemer iron has been secured
at s24.25 shipside New York harbor.
These prices are from so to rs cents a
ton lower than the asking prices In the
valleys. which leads to the belief that
the iron was obtained from other points
and was quoted on the basis Of the val
leys.
Another contract for about 1000 tons
OF standard bessemer iron was reported
10 nave been obtained for export TO
Genoa at about s26 a ton delivered.
This is probably the sale that was re-
ported OH Monday or the basis OF s26
PittsburE. There Is reason to believe
that a low freight rate direct from Pitts
burg was secured TO the Mediterranean.
making this transaction possible.
Other sales for shipment to Mediter-
ranean ports included 1000 tons OF No.
. Southern foundry iron and about 1000
tons OF low grade Southern iron. the lat
ter obtained on the basis Of about $l2
a ton Birmingham.
Southern warrants In speculative
hands are still available at about $13.
but furnaces are asking slt for No. ..
The weakness In the Southern market is
attributed to the large stocks being car
ried on speculative account as well as by
furnaces. The total surplus on furnace
banks is estimated at $4,000 tons.
Domestic meters OF foundry iron have
shown very little interest in pig iron in
the last two or three days. but there Is
reason TO believe that consumers must
purchase nearly 1000, 900 tons for ship
men; during the second half OF this year.
AT the moment the market Is soft. The
large sales made in the latter part of
las, week were az the higher prices. Tn
weaker undercurreDt may be responsible
for the smaller buying during June.
Sales OF merchant furnace during this
month. 1t is estimated. will he about
325,oo0 tons. indicating the smallest
monthly volume OF business since May.

Beef Cattle Producers Should
Give Heed toatil6 Subject
Diminishing" on Arass.
ENJOYED 4 BETTER MARKET
(By g. D. Lowe, Division Of Extern
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

Producers Of beef cattle, present
and prospective, who are willing to
change their methods OF handling, In
order to secure better returns, should
give consideration to the subject OF
finishing" on grass.
In recent years cattle prices have
been better In the summer months
than In the winter. The man who
has, finished his stock on grass, with
q comparatively small labor cost, has
enjoyed d better market than the
feeder who has put lot Of labor and
grain into his beef This state Of af-
fairs seems likely to continue.
Il Fresh pork is usually cheaper than
beef. 1T is marketed In larger quanti-
ties during the winter, when It Is most
popular and can best compete with
beef.
South American cattle are finished
on grass. When this beef appears on
our markets it comes largely during
the summer season OF the Southern
hemisphere, which is our winter.
Corn-belt feeders must continue to
finish most OF their stock for winter
markets, because they are too busy
making crops In summer and they con-
slider their land too high-priced to
turn to grass.
All these things are In favor OF the
man who owns good grazing land.
They should encourage him to take
better care Of his pastures, to in
crease the yield OF grass and thus en-
large the carrying capacity per acre.
The yield Of beet per acre is much
lower in Tennessee than It should be.
but It would seem that the prospects
to materially increase our profits on
the SANG number Of head as handled
at present, are good. This, by selling
our cattle Of grass, as finished
product, ready FOR the block, instead OF
81 feeders"

Matrimony Out of Question for Work

One OF the messenger boys in the Dis

10 per cent increase on $3.50 a year, de-
claring the low salaries paid by the Dis
trtct discourage matrimony:
Editor The Washington Herald-I have
columns OF salary raises proposed for
government employees, but always read
about the $40 party who can't do this
or can't do that Why not come q little
lower? Come down to the salary Of
some OF the messenger boys OF the Dis
trict (appointed from the DistricO who
are getting only $3.50 or $3.50 per annum.
/ am one of the $3.50 ones myself, having
received only one promotion in over three
years Of service in this great govern
ment- 1t may be good enough for those
who are not absolutely forced to go to
work. but how about those who must
help to take care OF the family, not hav-
ing a father to do so?
You start at $3.50 or $3.50 per annum.
II you start at $3.50 per annum you may
go to $3.50. and there you stay. When l
entered the service in 1912 was shot full
OF stories of rapid promotion in both
grade and salary. Believe me, 1 have
received one great promotion in this time
$40 per month. Isn't 1t wonderful?
There Is this talk about getting mar
rted and increasing the population. How
are you going to get married when you
can't get enough money to look out for

would It do to go and tell your pitiful
story and be laughed at? have told it
before and was told that nothing could
be done, and no effort made to do any
thing. Do you call that justice? Get
you into the service. that il all that they
care for. 1t doesn't matter what be-
comes of you after that, SO long as you
do what you are told to do and no Ques-

in the right or wrong, you are given no
chance to defend yourself against the
charges.
Hoping that you will publish this SO as
