CLEVELAND, O., July 28. The Iron Trade Review, in reviewing the iron situation this week, says: A moderate Increase in plg-lron buying: has been noticed in the past week, but finished material markets have settled farther into midsummer dullness, and have so far re fused to make good the reported declarations of Wall street authorities. Now that the Steel Corporation meeting has been held, and the ex pected action taken in declaring the usual dividend on the preferred stock, it may be that the iron market will be allowed for a lime to work out Its own destiny in th reg ular way. Plg-lron buying was to be looked for in July, since most consumers aimed to come out even at the end o( June with their purchase for the first half, and if inquiries are an in dex of wants, tbere is some little business in prospect for August. Cincinnati has had a good share of the activity the past week in foundry iron, a number of Indiana buyers tak ing round lots. The total is between 6000 and 10,000 tons, to which are to be added several good orders placed by Cincinnati foundries, and 4000-ton deliveries in the next four months. Sales of 15,000 to 20,000 tons of basic iron are also reported by Southern sell ers. The quotation of ?9.50 by Southern furnaces is now quite general, but, as with previous advances, business lessens when quotations move up. At present 9.25 tor No, 2 seems to be the minimum for Southern Iron, but there is considerable variation in prices on North ern foundry Iron, particularly In the East; some furnaces have shown more anxiety to get business, and have named low figures; others have advanced their quotations in the belief that the outlook Justified the refusal of prices that cut too close to cost. In the Central West $1X75 at furnace for No. 2 is still named. Foundries find no Increased demand for cast ings. From 40 to 50 per cent of the output of a year ago is the average with Jobbing foun dries, and some are running with about one third force. Under these conditions, stocks of pig iron will not decline without further blowing out of furnaces. Present indications are that the July production of pig iron will fall below that of February, though exceeding the total for January. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Xlour, Peed, Etc.

The market for coffee futures opened steady at a decline of 5 points on- August, which was Influenced by moderate liquidation, presumably by longs unwilling to receive Immediate deliveries, while the other months were unchanged to 5 points higher on a fair demand promoted by a bullish crop item in placing the current Santos crop at 5,740,000 bags and receipts at 2,509,000 bags. For a time the market showed a continued firmness, coupled with fair activity, in spite of weather reports and easier cables, but In the later trad ing offerings became free, and while Wall street bought moderately the market lost Its advance, and finally was steady at a net de cline of 5 points.

IN STOCK PRICES EFFECT OF ANGLO-RUSSIAN LATIONS ON MARKET, RE- London Buying at Higher Level Gold Payment on Cuban Loan Bonds Are Firm In New York. NEW YORK, July 28. Today's stock market turned to large extent on the Anglo-Russian relations, and was a striking demonstration of how large an Influence the came cause hadon yesterday's market. Not only 4he eecurltles, but all other speculative markets, were In fluenced. Grain, markets here relaxed, in spite of some rumors of unfavorable developments in the Spring wheat region. Sterling exchange reacted decisively from the gold export point Stocks in New York regained rather more than they lo3t yesterday. London bought back from her fully as much as was sold yesterday, and this buying was the main factor in hold ing the early advance on which there was free realizing and a consequent halt In the upward tendency. But buying of all the prominent stocks was aggressively renewed as the day advanced, and the bears were routed and driven to cover. United States Steel Preferred was not among the strongest stocks today. It was strong, however, and was helped by reports of an Improving demand for pig iron. The completion of the stock market settlement in London was a helpful factor to the market. In addition to the reacted tension in interna tional returns, as an easier money market is now looked for. The Bank of England's loan expansion of almost $20,000,000 for the week tm tMV ....a.. ..A ,a a 41 luuu Ui IMC JJil-ul uiuu hu vuvjr. raarae-. were. nat lnsutuuon is aiso gain I"S gold rapidly now. The announcement that a $1,000,000 payment would be made next week on the Cuban loan, with a probable demand ior at least halt the amount In gold remittance to Havana, seemed to be accepted with equanimity, which was furthered by the assurances from the bankers concerned that care would be taken not to dis turb the money market In arranging for the further remittances. The arsassinatlon of the Russian Minister of the Interior was not a precepUble factor in the market. The upward impulse of the market was renewed In the late trading In the expectation that the Lon don market tomorrow would take stock at a higher level. The trading became dull at the last, but the closing was Arm and only slight ly below the best. Consols was Arm and only slightly below the best. Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value, $2,145,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK LIST. Atchison ...... 77 do preferred .96 Bait. & Ohio .. S4 do preferred . 92 Can. Pacific ...123i Central of N.

At the outset, the wheat market experienced a setback, because of lower cables, liberal receipts and continuation of fine weather in the Northwest September opened at c to TiSlo lower at SSc to 89c A lot of long wheat came out during the first few minutes of trade, and prices declined still further, September selling off to 88SSc On the break there wa good liquidation by commission-houses, resulting in & net advance of about halt a cent The demand was in fluenced to eome extent by the bullish foreign crop news, and by many complaints of rust from the American Spring wheat country. Another reaction occurred on heavy selling of July, resulting from the announcement of estimated liberal receipts for tomorrow. Spec aaltlva trading also was affected by the -weakness in the cash market hero, all grades of cash wheat, except contract grain, which can be delivered In July, being down 2&4c Late in the day the market for distant deliveries became firmer on a report of the condition of the German crop, showing considerable deteri oration as a result of severe drouth. Much of the earlier loss was regained, September clos ing at S9c Favorablo crop reports and weakness of wheat were tho main influences affecting the corn market September closed unchanged at 49c Fine weather reports of good crop prospects and weakness of wheat caused considerable liquidation In oats. September opened at 33 633c and closed at 3333c. Covering byishorts imported a firm tone to the provision market, but trading was light at the close.

A weasel is a wizard as well as a fighter, and often wins his battles by strategy. I was recently In a fishing-camp that was near a large stack of lumber. It seemed that a large number of rats Inhabited the cool crevices under the lumber pile, and one day a weasel put In Its appearance. We had the pleasure of seeing a battle royal every day for several days, and by and by the weasel had killed every rat in the colony except one which was nearly as large as a cat. They fought several times a day, and the weasel always got the worst of it One day we noticed It Industriously dig ging a hole under the woodpile, and thought little of It. A little later we saw it challenge the rat to battle, and as soon as the fight began to warm up the weasel suddenly turned tall and sneaked to the hole like all possessed. The rat followed in hot pursuit, and both disappeared in the mouthr of the weasel's hole. It was only a, twinkling until the weasel reap peared, and flashed Into the hole again. We watched a long time, and neither animal appeared. Finally we moved the wood and dug out the weasel's hole. "We found the rat dead and the weasel had dug Itself out another way. The weasel had trapped the rat and killed It at leis ure, the hole being too small at one end for the rat to escape, which the weasel knew all the while.

Wheat Options Recede In Sympathy With Reaction in Other Markets Export Flour Inquiry. BAN FRANCISCO. July 2S. (Special.) The deadlock In the grain freight market remains unbroken. Excepting the recent advance In wheat, which makes It -till more unprofitable fpr shippers to do business, conditions are the same aa a week ago. Engaged tonnage in port amounts to 030O tons; disengaged, 60,000 tons; on the way, 240,000 tons. The grain market was much quieter. Wheat options receded sharply. In sympathy with the reaction In other markets, but tho spot ad vance was fully maintained. Barley was eas ier for spot and futures on larger receipts and offerings. Oats were dull, but steady. Flour was Arm, with reports of a renewal of the de mand from Japan, chiefly for September ship ment. Good shipping peaches, plum1, Bartlett pears and grapes were In demand for the steamer to leave for Puget Sound tomorrow, and prices were steady for such stock, but general offer ings of theae and other Summer fruits were easy in the regular city trade, supplies being liberal. Local canners are now chiefly em ployed on Bartlett pears, hlch clean up well. Citrus and tropical fruits were very dull. The potato market was weaker. Heavy re ceipts caused buyers to hold off. Yellow onions sold lower. Tomatoes were demoralized by heavy arrivals. Other vegetablea were In good supply and easy. Best grades of butter were steady, but or dinary etock was weak. Cheese was In larger supply. Eggs were easy. Receipts, 113,000 pounds butter, 43.000 pounds cheese, 42,000 dozen eggs. Wool was flrin. Hops wore quiet and steady.

The Italians Try Cotton Culture. . Boston Transcript. Milan saw recently the start of a move ment in Italy toward the deliberate and painstaking cultivation of cotton. The Society for the Cultivation of Cotton wa3 there Incorporated, with the purpose of prosecuting experiments In the colony of Eritrea, near Abyssinia. The society has the promise of governmental support, In deed, under the care of a corps of expert planters in the employ of the society, there has already been raised one crop that Is encouragingly In excess of antici pations. King Victor Emmanuel is personally de voted to the plan, and It was according to his wish that the incorporation of the so ciety was delayed until a reasonable crop of cotton has actually been raised. In the planting, American seed was eschewed on account of fancied danger from the boll weevil. Instead, Egyptian, Congo and Other seed was resorted to. This determined activity in cotton cul ture on the part of the Italians Is not so new as It seems, nor are their efforts con fined to the crown possessions of Savoy. The -cotton famine experienced by the mills in Milan, Genoa, Turin and other spindle towns in the north of Italy has stimulated attempts at growing in Sicily. Ordinarily these cotton towns import an aggregate of 520,000,000 worth of the raw article. Hitherto half of thi3 has been American, the other half Egyptian and Indian stock. Just now, however, hardly anything hut Indian stock Is to be had, and that only at prices fairly prohibitive. In consequence the Industry has been paralyzed for some time. Hear Palermo cotton growing hag been tried on an extensive scale even on Ital ian soil, by two German residents of the tiwm TliMr efforts have hpen iin1r cover of secrecy, but It Is known that r a 1 in S t'lA I'll aII S r k J!.-.

It la hinted that, whatever tho manage ment, American capital may be hehlnd this particular venture. The province of Naples reports a suc cess even more astonishing. There has been achieved there the successful grow ing of a rare variety of cotton, snow white dnd of a softness resembling swan's down. It is supported on stems so long as to obviate the difficulty that has here tofore figured in the hiring of "hands at harvest time. Naples further has the cheapest of labor available In Europe. The town Is eagerly welcoming the spread of the cotton venture as an agreeable form of employment for her large Idle population. And so another buyer has joined the de termined competition that foreign coun tries are setting up against American cotion with Its fluctuations so dangerous to themselves. Told fay General Gordon. Harper's Weekly. The late General John B. Gordon was a brilliant raconteur. He had a fund of anecdotes and stories, not only of his war experiences, but dealing with the most prominent men and women of today with whom he was thrown In personal contact. Among his warmest friends were ex Presldent and Mrs. Cleveland, who on one occasion visited Georgia as his guests. The General, who was at that time Gov ernor, was very fond of telling how "Aunt Sue," his family washerwoman, snubbed the Clevelands. Wishing to show the President something genuine and entirely of the old South, ho sent his carriage out to his country home for old "Aunt Sue," an ex-slave and a lifelong servant of the family. When the coachman reached her cabin, he found the, old woman hanging out her week's wash. He told her that the Gen eral had sent for her to come in to see the President of the United States. "Who's he?" asked the old woman. "Who's he?" replied the coachman. "Why. Mister Groher Clebelan' who you 'spec?" , Aunt Sue looked at him a moment. Then, in a mingled tone, of dignity and scorn, she said: "Clebelan'? Clebelan'? I aln never hum tell er no Clebelan's. You go long home en tell Mars John he ca fool dis ole 'oman. Dem Clebelan's mus be some er his 'lection friends dey ain' no qual'ty, en' I aln' gwine fool wid um." And the old womaa turned back to her tub, and would not be persuaded. The conversation, much to the amuse ment of Mr. Cleveland, was repeated in his hearing, the General happening to question the coachman while the Presi dent was near. mm is interested And ahould know aoout the wonderful MARVEL Whirling Spray ThoNewLffdl--' Syrinre oft.
