One OF the influences not to be lost sight
OF in forecasting the future OF the iron
trade is the substitution OF steel for iron,
by the means OF the basic process, which Is
being introduced in several manufacturing
establishments throughout the West, and
one east OF the m0unVans-the Harrisburg
steel works. This process, Us your readers
are aware, admits OF the substitution Of
phosphoric pig iron, now almos! worthless,
and it therefore involves the erection Of
works at points Of least ore and coal freight
resistance, 10 speak after the manner OF
engineers,
The second important tendency which
is developing in tue iron trade ia the scat
tering of iron-making. Alabama, Tennes-
see and Virginia are advancing in furnaces
and mill and coal mining. While Penn
sylvania iron-makers are hu2ging the de
lusive phantom Of hope, their competitors
are binding them hand and foot, to speak
after the manner Of Patrick Henry. In
few years these Influences will revolution
lie theirsiron trade, or, more properly the
steel trade. Iron is, relatively speaking,
like the Apache Indians; they are on the
