eral weeks.
Kvery department of the works of the
Pennsylvania Steel works was run to
its full capacity last week and heavy

Never In the history of the coal trad
has there been so much coal collected
In one port as can be found In the pools
of the Mononnaiiela river at present.
It Is estimated that from 23,000,000 to
2S.00O.O0O bushels are awaiting shipment
south, and about fifty steamers and
thousands of rlvermen are Idle because
of the low stage ccf water. Since last
April, when the last freshet occurred.
there has been no approach to a boating
stage.
A contract for forty-five more miles
of the PltNburg and Eastern road has
been let. The road is an Independent
corporation, and Its plans contemplate
a line from Mehaffey, on the Beech
Creek road, to Pit'burg, making con
nection with the Boston and Ohio. The
main line of branches comprise about
l."0 miles of road, and its object is to
open up the undeveloped parts of In
diana, Westmoreland and Cambria
counties. Vice President S. H. Hicks
says that the road will be completed to
Saltsburg before next winter.
Coal sold in the New York maTket
last wepk at $2.75 per ton f. o. b. on a
basis of stove. This was the open price.
Sales have teen made at $2.65. The
first quoted price Is the market, and Is
the lowest market price known. Coal
went lower than that figure In the auc
tion sales in 1ST", but was not estab
lished at the minimum figure. Lacka
wanna has not made any report of
mining operations for two weeks. The
only condition which is saving the trade
is restriction. Unless there is a change
for the better shortly buyers will begin
to take fall and winter stocks at cur
rent figures. A well-posted coal opera
tor says that a majority of the coal
companies are not keeping up their
dead work. The point will be reached
where a great deal of money will have
to be spent on unproductive work.
The most Interesting event of last
week in the Industrial world was the

parent consumption of Iron during the
first half of this year was 4,228,296 tons,
as compared with 2,849,435 tons In tho
same period of 1894, and the price is nt
least $4 per ton higher for pig and M
per cent, higher for all kinds of Iron

That Distressing Skin Disease.
Eciema Is one of the most distressing
and annoying of the muuny so-called
skin diseases, and a great many people
are afflicted with this complaint that
really do not know what their trouble
is. When first discovered the sufferer
Is apt to think it something trifling that
will disappear In a short time, and pay
little attention to It, until by Its annoy
ance it develops the fact that It is there
to stay until driven out or cured; but
that sometltm-a is not so easily done, as
the following case .wilt show: Mrs. C.
Webber, a lady aged 47 years, had en
joyed good health up to two years ego
last winter. She commenced to com
plain of not feeling well, felt tired and
slumplsh all the time, had no ambition
to do anything. It required a great
effort on her part to do the lightest kind
of work, would ihave severe headaches,
could eat but very little, then would be
sick at the stomach. Such feelings
kept up fora6out.three'wet"ks, when she
commenced to experience an itching
sensation on her arms bnd lowe
limbs. Then she commenced to break
out with eruptions or vesicals contain
ing a yellow, watery secretion. The
skin- felt sore and chafed, and at times
would itch so as to almost set her wild.
She commenced to take Iblood remedies
j.nd patent medicines of different kinds,
ibut kept getting worse. She gave up
taking those medicines and went to her
family physician. He told her it was
a bad case of eczema, lie treated her
for some six months, with no good re
sults. He finally told her to consult
come good specialist, as 'he hid done
his 'beKt. She came to Dr. F. B. Smith
and stated her case from 'beginning to
that date. iShe was satisfied with the
terms and conditions under which Dr.
Smith flifreed to take her case, and
commenced at once to take treatments
of Dr. Smith and staff, and In three
imwIu' time was completely cured,
and Is today a well and hijppy woman.
Dr. Smith and staff are located at 505
Llndon' st opposite the court house,
where they can be consulted free dally
from 9 to 5, except Sundays, Tuusdays
and Fridays, from 9 to 9.
