LADIES' TAILOR MADE SUITS A Great Clean Ip , Sale This Weelu DIG COT' IN PRICES TO CLOSE OUT THE STOCK Headquarters for Dry Goods IRON MARKET IMPROVING. Demand is Better In Some Branches and Orders Are Coming In More Freely. NEW YORK. May 30.-Discussing the condition of the Iron and steel In dustries, the Iron Age says: The best that can be said for the Iron market at present U that a feel ing of hopefulnes Is displaying. The demand seems to be a little better In some branches of the trade and buyers are disposed to place orders rather more freely. This is particularly true of the west. When this has been said, however. It covers about the most en couraging conditions to be noted. No Improvement is seen In prices. The tendency appears to be still down ward and so far no Indications are seen on a Arm foundation for such products as are now absolutely con trolled by an effective consolidation or combination. Prices have been gradually receding for some time and while heroic efforts are made to main tain them in some directions this simp ly results in creating a great spread In quotations. Prices for this season on some products show a range of sev eral dollars per ton. Wire rods, for Instance, are quoted at mills In the central west at $28 to $(7.50. It is generally believed that a large tonnage Is waiting to :)e placed as soon as prices shall have touched a figure that will be considered satisfac tory to buyers. How far down they must go In onler to meet this condition. It is, of course, difficult to say. When prices vtere at their highest it would certainly have been deemed favorable to r.ew business for concessions to be made approximating present prices. Buyers, however, always seek to secure something a little lower than the of fers made to them. It Is Ukely that the fact that this is a presidential year, may influence this reserve! business more than the mere question of prices. Undoubtedly, In all discussions of con ditions now affecting trade, the presi dential election is invariably taken in to consideration. One of the interesting items of news coming out during the week Is the re ported sale of 75.000 tons of pig iron by a large southern company for ex port to Scotland, the shipments to cov er the next six months. The reputed sellers will neitlier affirm nor deny the report, but it is quite generally be lieved to be true. A large contract to be placed within the next few days cov ers the approaches to the new East r.lver bridge between New York and Brooklyn, which will require about 18,000 tons of steel.. This contract would excite much more interest In the trale if the steel was not open to acid open hearth, which restricts the number of bidders. Another Important matter coming up for consideration Is the probable dis agreement between the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and the owners of rolling mills in the west over the wage sched ule for the year bglnnlng July 1. The Association will ask for an ad vance In the base on which their wag es are regulated and under present conditions, the manufacturers will cer tainly refuse to grant this request. It Is expected to lead to the closing of many mills and consequently a de cided restriction of production. This will, if continued for any length of time, favorably affect finished products, but will have the opposite effect on pig Iron. It is assumed by those who are believed to be well informed that the Time was wnen Cancer was considered as incurable as leprosy, U U W r li u inJ ' sUfla;LsV Physicians and friends could give little relief or encouragement to one afflicted with this terrible disease. Even now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady ; while admitting it to be a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cut out, but at the same time cannot assure you that it will not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come in its place, for the disease , is, in the blood is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife ox caustic, flesh-destroyingfplasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous, effete matter before the Cancer sore will heaL 8. 8. S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful and contaminating poison and force it out of the blood. It builds up and invigorates the old, and supplies new, rich, life-giving blood. 8. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy ; no mineral can be found in it ; the roots and herbs from which it is made contain powerful purifying properties that act directly upon the blood system and make a safe and permanent cure of Cancer. It has cured thousands, why not you? Cancer is not always inherited ; your family may be free from any taint, yet your blood may become so polluted that a severe m. mmm an stubborn form of the disease may Impure Blood Invites Disease. tr&'JSS ' , or hurt, a little pimple on the eyelid, lip or nose, a small lump on the jaw or breast, a harmless looking wart or mole, and other causes so insignificant as to attract little or no attention. If you have an obstinate sore, don't rely upon salves or ointments to cure it begin with 8. S. S. at once; it will cleanse your blood and prevent the formation of cancerous cells. Mrs. K. Shlrer, L PUta, Mo., write : " a small pimple came on my Jw about one Inch below tbe car on tbe left tide of my fice. at firit it gave me no trouble, and I did not think it waa anything serious ntU the law began to ewell and became much inflamed.

GERMANY'S MEAT BILK Net To Take Effect Until Fall-The Emperor Is Orposed To It. CHICAGO. May 30. Chicago packers saw a chance for relief from the re strictions cf the German meat bill In information cabled last night to Mor ris Epstein, president of the German American Provision Company, that the bill will net go into effect until October 5. By that time It 13 surpos.'d the German naval bill will have been pass ed and the German opponents of the meat bill will be better able to work agaii.st It and perhaps modify some of Its workings. Packers who learned that the bill would not take effect until fall, were Irclined to think that the dat had been put off much further than naturally would have been the case. Just how this was accomplished the cabled In formation to Mr. Epstein did not say. Mr. Epstein said that it would have been possible to put the bill into effect at once under the German law. "The news that the bill will not go Into effect until October, makes me be lieve that before that time some way will have been found to soften its re strictions, provided the United States does not lose its temper ana begin re taliatory measures on German pro ducts." said Mr. Epstein. "While I was discussing the meat bill with a German statesman not long ago, when I was abroad, he said to me that Ger many would never enforce such an un friendly measure against America, pro vided the United States did not do any thing unfriendlv to Germany- From I that I lnftred that the opponents cf the 'moat bill looked for some modification cf it before it is put into effect. I "It is well known that the German ,empror is opposed to the meat bill, as It was passed. His great solicitude Is for the naval bill, however. Now that the meat bill will not take effect 'until October 5, the emperor will have ample time to secure the passag? of jthe naval bill, and that done, I think ' the rackers have reason to expect something favorable will happen." NEW YORK, May 30. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: Germany may be met with spirited re taliation by the United States if the meat bill now pending in the bund?s rath is enacted into law'. The subject was not discussed at the meeting of the cabinet yesterday and a member of the cabinet said that no retaliatory measures would be adopted until after the German meat bill had become a law and its provisions had been studied. In the meantime, however, there may be congressional action. President Spritzer, of the National Live Stock Association, said that it was the in tention of that Association to assert all its Influence to bring about the speedy enactment Into law of the bill Introduced yesterday by Representa tive Bailey of Texas, directing the president to impose and collect an ad ditional duty of 10 per cent on all Im ports from Germany in the event of it contains much information that will interest X lv. Address, THE SWIFT the enactment of the German bill. Mr. Springer said h was confident of the ability of the National Live Stock Association to force the passage of this bill as It represented all the cattle breeders' associations of the country, as well as all the stock yards and packing house Interests. The to tal capital represented by the Associa tion, he said, was $600,000,000. WORTH TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS Carnegie Says Uo Has Securltl-a That He Can Convert Into That Amount of Cash. NKW Y"KK.

"To the mountains our people In in creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nec essary to maintain the human ma chine In fair working conlltlon. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while It lasts, but many have decided .hat the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation of flagging energies as will provide btawn and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulurated mountain air. "In this direction the Shasta Route now affords a wealth of attractions. The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding Is studded with charming and accessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost, and where you can hunt, fish, ride. loaf, or play with equal facility.
