NOTES ON THE WAR.
Iron and Coal Trade Reuiew, published in

The Iron and Coal Trade Reuiep, published in
England regard to the iron trade the CONT
and the extent to which it is affected by the war;
1.-THE Belgian iron trade Is naturally good deal de-
ranged by the war; but the Government appear TO be
helping the ironmasters by giving out extensive orders
for rails Of the State railways We have no
very definite information to what number Of men
have been taken away from the works but we unCer-
stand that the production Of iron in Belgium has GER
tanly been very much diminished Of late. In Germany
and France, of course the war has caused an almost
complete suspension OF manufacturing operations, and
as many Of establishments largely engaged in
manufacturing rongstOck and material for the Russian
and railways, il is highly probable that many
of these contracts will come this country to be
cued and that for long time TO come the production OF
iron in those two countries and especially in Germany,
will be very much diminished Even should peace he
very quickly restored IL will be impracticabe for the
ironmasters of Prussia 10 get their works IN f opera
