MANY MILLS ARE SHUT DOWN

put. So There Will Be no
Weakening of Their Mar
ket iu Consequence. .
Cleveland. O., June 30. The Iron
Trade Review has this to say concern
lug market "conditions in its current
issue:
The first half of 1904 ends with a
restrictive movement under way in the
Iron trade that promises to bring pi
iron production back to the February
basis, when the output was at a year
ly rate of less than 15,000.000 tons
The extent of shutdowns of rolling
mills and steel works on July 1 and
the length of the Idle period cannot be
fully determined at this writing, but
will be considerable. Scale disagree
ments will cause some interruption,
particularly in sheet and tin plate mills
and to some extent In bar mills. But
there is a disposition among blast fur
nace operators to prevent the accumu
lation of their product so that the idle
ness of the mills will not necessarily
mean further weakening In the pig iron
market
A scale agreement waa reached by
the American Sheet and Tinplate Com
pany in the week on a basis of 18 per
cent reduction from last year's scale,
which leaves wages as they have been
since the special April conference.
The rebate question is sUll undecided,
however. Independent sheet manufac
turers want a 20 per cent reduction,
and are still in conference with the
workers. The non-union mills of the
leading interests are the disturbing
factors, and the possibility of the idle
ness of all union sheet and tin plate
mills for some weeks Is not remote.
The Republic Iron and Steel Company
will close most of Its mills for a part
of July at least At Jollet. 111., the rod
;mlll department has closed down and
further suspensions there are expect
ed. The National Tube Company will
close down some of Its mills for urgent
repairs, but has plenty of orders. A
number of American Steel & Wire
Company plants, as well as Independent
wire plants in Pittsburg and Ironton
rti.trintu will be out early In July. The

GRAIN RATES REDUCED.

New York, June 30. A reduction in

for a time, the scale being siui un

is no pressing necessity for running
until mid-year, when repairs are need
ed. In the central west a few more
blast furnaces have gone out and there
is an evident adjustment to the require
ments of a quiet summer.
In spite of these general preparations
for curtailed output, there has been

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
By Cutlcura After tho
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced.
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do Cent's Worth
of Good.
About five years ago I was troubled
with sore bands, so sore that when I
would pat them in water the pain would
very nearly set me crazy, the skin would
peel off and the flesh would get bard
and break. There wonld be blood flow
log from at least fifty places on each
band. Words could never tell the suf
fering I endured for three years. I
tried everything that I waa told to nss
for fully thres years, but could get no
relief. I tried at least eight different
doctors, but none pf tbem seemed to do
me any good, as my hands were aa bad
when I got through doctoring as when
I first began. I also tried many reme
dies, but none of them ever did me ons
cent's worth of good. I was discour
aged and beart-sore. I would feel so
bad mornings when I got np, to think
I had to go to work and stand the pain
for ten hours, and I often felt like giv
log np my position. Before I started
to work mornings I wonld have to
wrap every finger np separately, so
as to try and keep them soft and then
wear glove over the rags to keep
the grease from getting on my work.
At night I would have to wear gloves
in bed. In fact, I bad to wear gloves
all the time. But thanks to Cutlcura,
the greatest of all great skin cures.
After doctoring for three years, and
spending much money, a 60c. box of
Cutlcura Ointment ended all my suffer
ings. It's been two yean since I used
a i Ann't trnnw what sore hands
are now, and never lost a day's work
