Considerable Advances is
Iron and Steel Markets.
LARGE DOMESTIC ORDERS
Heavy Foreign Orders Taken and
Increased Demand For
Material.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 15.—-The Iron Age in
its review today will say:
“There are indications that the market
ie getting excited and the voices of those
who are urging caution are being heard,
it is notable that in foundry pig iron buy
ers have been taught a sharp lesson and
are made to realize that their long main
tained attitude of skepticism was not war
ranted by the facts. There have been
very large transactions in the west, our
Chicago correspondent reporting an ag
gregate of sales of 100,000 tons, while Cin
cinnati estimates sales in that district at
50.000 tons. Southern buyers have also
placed orders among them, being one with
a pipe works for 12,000 tons. In the east
there has been a good movement, one fur
nace company placing 17,000 tons in one
day, but on the whole the east, being
better able to draw upon local furnaces
and upon Virginia, has been less urgent.
A number of the large sellers have with
drawn entirely from the market and have
turned away* a heavy tonnage* Export
business has continued but it remains to
be seen whether home requirements will
not divert the iron out of the export chan
cels and thus afford relief.
Our statistics show that coke and Amer
ican iron capacity expanded, 6,500 tons
during November, but that in spite there
of stocks fell off 21,000 tons.
"'Bessemer pig , now completely domin
ated by the Valley producers, has been ad
vanced 25c a ton for the first quarter of
Ifcftfl.
“Under moderate sales the steel billet
market has advanced to sl6 at Pittsburg
and $15.75, which was done at Wheeling.
Chicago reports sales aggregating 25,000
tons. As yet there are no indications
that the great wire interest has entered
the, marker. <
•'The struggle in the steel rail trade be
tveen the east and the 'west continues.
The Lackawanna Co., of Scranton, Pa.,
has captured additional large orders and
have now on their books an aggregate of
100,000 tons from roads west of the Alle
gh< ny mountains for 1899 delivery. The
starting of the second rail mill, that of
the “North Mill,’’ is being considered.
“A part of the famous Cool Gardis order
has been at hist secured, American mills
taking 33,000 tons of steel for the pipes.
It is understood that additional tonnage
for the same Work map be placed in a
few days. Chicago notes sales of about
6.000 tons and in the east some orders for
boats to be built in Atlantic coast yards
have been piacl'd.
“Wire rods have moved up quite sharply
in synipathey with steel. They sold as
low as S2O a few days since, but are now
held at $21.50 at mills in the central west.
A stronger feeling is developing also in
the,different branches of the wire trade.
“Export inquiries continue heavy and
some business in pig iron has been put
through. The bids for 32,000 tons of rails
for Victorit, Australia, are to be opened
on the 17th. An inquiry is now in the
market for 20,000 tons of rails for the
Asiatic Russia delivery to extend over two
years.’’
HOTEL ST. SIMONS BURNS.
The Building Cost $40,030 and Was In
sured for sto,ooo.
Brunswick, Dec. 15. —Hotel St. Simone
was destroyed by fire Tuesday aigbt and
mt eLevgh is left to make reo ill ling pos
sible. The building was insured for $lO,-
000. Os this amount the National carried
$1,500, Aetna $5,00 and Lancashire $2,500.
The hotel cost $40,000 and was owned by
E. W. Lane of Valdosta and Moses Isaac
of Brunswick. They bought it from a
stock company for much less than the or
iginal price.
At the time of the fire there was no one
around the hotel but the night watchman.
The building was only recently damaged
by a storm to such an extent that it cost
the storm insurance companies $2,535 to
settle the claims. Owner Isaac states that
he will' rebuild before the coming summer
proviided the citizens of Brunswick will
furnish half the proceeds. His idea is to
have a joint stock company. The destruc
tion of Hotel St. Simons removes from the
resort list one of the most attractive and
popular seaside places on the Atlantic
coast. It has long been dubbed the “New
port of the South,’’ and under the manage
ment of General Jack Clancey and other
equally as popular hotel men, it has blos
somed like the rose.
lie destruction is a severe blow to the
people all over the state who yearly
sought it out.

REDUCED RATE.’ S T V
Savannah Banks Will Only Pay Three Per
Cent on Deposits.
Savannah, Dec. 15. —At a meeting of the
officers of the savings banks in the city
this morning it was decided to reduce the
interest on all savings from 3 to 4 per
cent per annum. The innovation starts
January Ist. The banks have had this
£ plan in view for some time. The position
| of the banks in this matter is pretry well
| understood. Money is too cheap and too
i plentiful to pay 4 per cent for its use.
The banks do not think much money will
withdrawn on account of the reduction
of interest.
A broker said this morning that he was
glad tbtinterest had been reduced, as it
would 4 cause more money to be invested
in securities.

ENDORSES BRYAN’S VIEWS.
Fleming dußignon on the Statement of W.
J. Bryan,
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 15.—Hon. F. G. du-
OBignon, chairman of the etate Democratic
committee, returned yesterday from a trip
to New York and Washington. Mr. dußig
non had read the statement by Colonel W.
J. Bryan prior to his departure for Wash
ington.
“It was a clear, well put, forcible and
cuccinct statement of the situation as it
exists,’’ said Mr. dußignon. “I certainly
indorse every word that he has spoken in
this conection. It will be found, I believe,
that the opinions of Colonel Bryan, which
are the views of the greater part of the
party, <wil become the platform principles
of rhe Democratic party and w'ill form one
of the issues between iit and the Repub
lican party. As Colonel Bryan pointe out,
it will be in keeping with the principles
laid down by the founders of the party to
antagonize the idea of subject colonies.
As he well puts it, we cannot be half free
and half vassal.”
Mr. dußignon was asked, whether, in his
opinion, Colonel Bryan’s leaving 'the army
would injure him politically.
“No,” said he. “Why should it? When
he enlisted it was not to do police duty
in. Cuba. He waited until the articles of
peace had been signed; until all the Span
ish soldiers were out of Porto Rico, which
is now ours, and were largely remvoed
from Cuba, -which we are under solemn
promise not to take, and then exercised his
right to resign and not waste 'his time and
talents doing guard duty with no enemy
in the field against his country, There
may be some effort on the part of political
enemies to belittle and discredit him, but
■it will ibe to little or no purpose, and I
have no doubt that the Republicans would
prefer for him to be in the army, with po
litical lockjaw, as he expressly termed it,
■rattier than at liberty to attack their
schemes far land-grabbing and government
of subject peoples.”
“Is Colonel Bryan apt to be regarded
and accepted as a leader among Democ
crats?”
“Yes. Colonel Bryan unquestionably is
a man of great ability and of recognized
leadership in the party. He is an aggres
sive, determined fighter, and his talents
and influence must be felt in this, 'as well
as in other political struggles where great
principles are at stake. It is foolish for
any one to discount the powers of Colonel
Bryan as an orator and as a thinker and
a leader.”
Mr. dußignon, while Colonel Bryan was
in. Savannah had many, opportunities to
see the Nebraska statesman. The more
he knew of him the more the learned to
admire his character and capacity.
No Hight to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face, form
ami temper will always have friends, but
one who would be attractive must keep
hjuir health. If she is weak, sickly and all
run down she will be nervous and irri
table. If she constipation or kidney
trouble, her impure blood will cause pim
ples, blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is
the best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify
the blood. Lt gives strong nerves, bright
eyes, smooth velvety skin, rich com
plexion. It will make a good looking wo
man of a. run-down invalid. Only 50 cents

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a beter price for it?
Ans.—As There is no difference "in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried «and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger
ated claims, but are certain to return to
the one reemdy that they know to be re
liable, and for coughs, colds and croup
there is nothing equal to Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar
& Sons.
