WHEN
IRON AND STEEL.
There Will Be No Revival Of Business Until
Farmers Are More Prosperous.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.--A review of the iron
trade of this country and abroad has just been
completed by James NJ Swank, secretary of the
American Iron and Steel Association He says:
"In the United States the demand for leading
articles of iron and steel was less in 1884 than in
1888 We made less pig-iron and bar iron, few
er steel rails, less steel for miscellaneous pur-
poses and fewer kegs of nails; prices fell as the
demand receded. Only on steel rails has there
been any recovery from the lowest prices of the
year. Even here the recovery was slight Steel
rails commenced the year at $34, and fell to
'e26 so in September, since which time they have
rallied to $28 No anthracite foundry pig-iron
at Philadelphia brought $40. 80 at the beginning
of the year, and $18 at the close. The best bar
iron, at Philadelphia sold at two cents per
pound in January, but for many months has
sold at one and eighteenth of cent per pound
or 1922 per gross ton. This is lower price
than we quoted during the panic years, except
for short time in 1879. The store price of
keg in January, from which there
was a steady decline to 81 10 in
October, the present price. The price during the
panic years did not fall so low until March,
1879, but from this low price there was speedy
recovery. If the farmers of the West could
dispose of their wheat and corn and other sta
pies at higher prices than now prevail. we
might soon see an increased demand and better
prices for iron and steel, but until the farmers
prospects improve we cannot see better days for
our iron and steel manufacturers, nor for some
other manufacturers. The country at large
cannot be prosperous if the farmers are not.
"In Europe the year which has just closed was
one of steadily declining prosperity for the iron
trade. The iron trade of Great Britain has es-
pecially suffered and it is at the present time
in a verv depressed and panicky condition; pro-
duction and prices have both greatly declined,
and real stagnatlon prevails in many districts,
with many thousands of workmen in actual
want The production of pigiron in the United
States for the last year is estimated to be equal
1t least. to that of 1880, which was the year of

Land Law Agitation in Great Britain.

LONDON, Jan. 3-Strong dissatisfaction with

vigorous agitation has been inaugurated there,
with the hope of obtaining land act similar to
that now in force in Ireland. Large numbers of
farmers are joining the English Farmers Alli-

formation. Mr. Parnell promises to support the
Nationalist party in this agitatatlon. He has

LONDON, JAM 3-The report that the Gar of
Russia is to be crowned at Samarcand next
year as the Emperor of Central Asia is confrma
tory of rumor which has been af1oat in diplo
matte circles for some months Now that it is
given on the authority of the Allegemene
Zeitung it may be we'll enough to tell the whole
story. The fact is that the idea Of Russian ag-
grandizement by formal proclamation of an
Empire in Central Asia has long been enter
tanned by Russian generals and statesmen.
Ever since the coronation of the present Czar at
Moscow, he has been urged by the Chauvirsts to
grasp an oriental empire as an antidote to Lord
Beaconsfelds master stroke in crowning Queen
Victoria Empress of India.

A Bill that Meets the Approval of All Junior
Naval Officers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The junior officers of
the navy have prepared memorial for trans
mission to Congress. urging the passage of the
McAdoo bill, which would afford number of
ieutenants an opportunity for promotion, which,
under the existing state of affairs, is now so re-
mote as to be beyond the hope of majority of
then. The bill gives the officials of the Navy
Department an opportunity to legally retire
number of men who have ceased to be useful,
by increasing the grade of vice admiral to
six, and that of rear admiral to ten,
they to have the pay of men
now on the commodore list The grade of
commodore is to be abolished. This plan would
place our naval officers on foreign stations on
the same grade as the officers of foreign navies.
For each promotion from captain to rearad-
miral two captains are selected from the list to
be retired. By this means promotion in all
grades will be stimulated, as there are great
number of men on the lieutenant list who are
more than forty years of age, besides being
gray and bald. This bill has naturally the
warm support of every junior line officer in the
service.
