Producers and consumers) nre .jetting together In more than one direction, although midsummer Inac tivity Is emphasibed by disturbed for eign relations and hesitation always attending a national political cam paign. A stop to tho dor-lino In wool brought many manufacturers Intc the market asking terms. Holders who have had difficulty In storing were the chief sellers. Cotton Improved slightly and more business occurred In cotton goods. Similarly In Iron the disposition which has resulted In hesitation in other Industries the tone Is better nnd in the Pittsburg district the mills have booked a line of fair orders in bars and plates. Structural and bridge ma terials are better taken. The refusal of the amalgamated a&soclatlon to al low a change in the wage scale adopt ed In May has led to strikes at numer ous bar mills, nnd the Uepubllc com pany Is to dismantle some plants to secure concentration, but non-union capacity will prevent serious scarcity. Further business In bar shows that agricultural Implement makers are more active. Grey forgf has fallen to $1. at Pittsburg, and Uessemer steel billets sold at S10. With the uncer tainty of the conference of steel com panies at Chicago removed, buyers may proceed with less anxiety. Kx port orders advanced electrolytic cop per from 1CU to lG'ft cent In lorgo lots. U was not surprising that wheat de clined still further this week for tho price had been held far above the ciuotatlon ruling at thin date In 1899 and crop conditions are so generally satisfactory as to assure an abundance for all home reeiulrc-ments and the usual amount for export. High prices have curtailed foreign buying to some extent and In the four weeks Atlantic exports of wheat. Including tlour, have been only 7,2Cti,130 bushels, against 8, 430.131 last year. The shipments of corn make a more satisfactory comparison, In four weeks amounting to 12,720,433 bushels, against 11.SS1.479 a year ago. Failures for the week were 231 In the United States against 1.11 last year nnd 28 In Canada against 20 last year. IRON AND STEEL TRADE. Statistics of Production for the First Half of 1000.

It may look like a good piano, but the tone test tells the tale. Most pianos when lightly touched, are pleasant to the ear; but when a little force is used will be found to yield a tone that is shrill and uncertain, instead of distinct, pure and round. respond to the severest test with that rich, mellow tone quality that makes them dis tinctive. No matter with what force you play them, the qual ity of tone remains the same. Herein lies their individuality a direct appeal to the mus ical and aesthetic tastes of the player. The tone of the Stieff is sympathetic, SATISFYING, riUSICAL.
