been controversy whether iron thus sup
planted would also have steel substituted for
il for ship-building uses.
The Consett Company takes the lead in
the production of iron for ships, and hence
the significance of the step il has now an
nounsed, if even that step be taken on scale
comparatively small. Locally and national
ly the question Of the comparative service of
iron and steel in ship building is being dis
cussed. and is also undergoing the test of ex-
perienes In the most recent of these dis
cussions it was stated on the side of iron
that given vessel would cost Il per cent.
more per ton of dead weight carrying capa-
city if of steel than it would il of iron !;
while, on the other hand. il was claimed that
even with steel much above iron in price, as
at present, it would, by carrying more. cost
slightly less per ton of carrying capacity.
An example was given of the cost of steel
and iron vessels-the former of certain
size costing els, $50, and an iron one the
same size costing fl1 900; but carrying so
tons less freight. Hense it was contended
that for the additional cost there was very
large interest. When the matter is narrow
cd to these dimensions il can scarcely be
said that il is too soon to speak of the ulti-
mate substitution of steel for iron in ship
building.-PaN Nall Gazette.

PRoFITABLENEss.

A decision announced by the Consett Iron
Company must be regarded as significant at
the present time. That company has been
one of the most fortunate of all those en-
gagged in northern metallurgy. 1t bought
immense iron-works and collieries in the
northwest of Durham at a very low price,
and by judicious expenditure and good man
agement it has paid wonderful dividens for
many years. Over series of years it paid
II per cent. per annum to its fortunate
share holders, and in the last two years it has
returned % per cent. per annum and given
bonus in addition. These large results,
contributed to by the coke manufacture, have
been chiefly attained by the iron trade, and
notably by the iron-plate trade. For the
year just closed the Consett Iron company
had a profit of E204 .906, and out of this
fl60. 1886 was the profit on iron plates and
pig-iron. The company is, indeed, the larg-
est iron-plate producing concern in the
world; and hence it is a fact of very great
significance to find that it has decided to erect
a Siemens Martin plan. for the production of
steel plates.
Hitherto the ships built on northern rivers
. have been iron since the cessation of the
building Of wooden vessels, with very few
exceptions. Exceptional steel vessels have
been built in the North Of England-an the
Tyne and the Tees and at West Hartlepool !;
but all the steel for some of these, and much
of it for others. has been taken into the dis
| trict from Scotland and Wales-districts that

Steel making commenced on a large scale

produced 1900 tons of steel rails in 1879,
| about 60,000 tons last year, and this year
will enlarge that quantity. These were
made at first exclusively from foreign iron
ores, to the loss Of the consumption of local
ores; but the dephosphorization process en-
sbles the latter now to be used, and hence
there is growing production of steel in the
form of rails in the North. Practically, the
production of what was one Of the staple
manufactures Of the district-iron rails-is
nov extinguished in place Of those Of the
more enduring metal. For long there has
