THE New York Tribune's Washington
special says the most convincing evil
dence yet received in Washington in re-
gard to the general revival of the iron
industry Of the country has just been
developed by correspondence with some
of the largest iron firms in relation to
the material needed by the government
for the completion of the new war, state
and navy department building. The
majority of the firms addressed say their
private orders are already so numerous
that it would be impossible for them to
supply the desired material within the
time mentioned.

The Leeds Mercury says that the discOv-
cry will cause the cost of iron prOduc-

is, whether it will be cheaper to convey
the iron to the coal, or the coal to the
