James NJ. Swank, Secretary of the
American Iron and Steel association,
says that ';there is a very hopeful feel
ing in the iron trade, based mainly on
the prospect of the continuance of the
active consumption that characterized
last year. The feeling is general that
prices for all iron and steel products
have reached bottom, and no a]pprehen-
sion is entertained of lower prices than
now prevail. Whatever changes may
take place in the coming year will be
for the better and not for the worse.

The reports of Consuls of the United
States on agricultural machinery in
their several districts, and the oppor-
tunities for the introduction of Ameri-
can-made machinery, are not. so far as
Western Europe is concerned, very en-
couraging. The superior quality and
finish of the American articles is every
where conceded, but the cost is against
them. Some few of the large landed pro-
prietorsin England, France, Germany
and Russia purchase and use them, es-
pecially reapers, mowers, drills and the
like, but the English make is preferred
In Germany, Russia, Holland and other
countries, because they are stronger
and more enduring and cost less.

The coal supply of England is by no
means inexhaustible, and an alarm sig
nails frequently given; but a royal COM
mission, having given the subject care
full investigation reports that there will
not be a coal famine for two or three
centuries. But coal cannot be mined
1000 thousand feet below the surface,
on account of heat, and the investiga-
ton of Stanley Jevons, the noted scien-
list, have led him to the conclusion
that all the coal within 1000 feet will
be exhausted in 100 years. A recent
issue of Nature, a scientific publication
of high authority, presented statistics
Of the coal supply and the rate of con-
sumption which confirm the opinion ex-
pressed by MIR. Jervons. A century is
a brief period in the life of a nation.
And of course the effect of the failing
production of the coal mines will be
felt years before the supply shall have
been wholly exhausted.

Assessors, especially in the eastern
states, are greatly bothered by the CIV
ering and hiding Of personal property.
Avery large proportion escapes taxation
entirely. So great an evil has this be-
come that some Of the leading men are
agreed that the taxes should be paid by
the real estate almost exclusively-that
public prosperity would be subserved
thereby. Ina meeting called to on
slider the subject, it was stated that dur
ing the past year the estates of three
persons who had deceased were brought
TO a law Office in Boston for settlement.
One of those estates embraced o large
amount Of real estate, and only q small
proportion Of personal property. That
estate had been taxed virtually for all
that was taxable. The second estate
had been taxed the year before the tes-
tator's death on $1,000 worth OF person-
al property, whereas it should have
been taxed for $l55, 900 worth Of per-
sonaI property, so that one-fftieth only
81 that property had been caught in the
machine. The third estate, being the
estate Of q person living in one Of the
towns in the neighborhood OF the city
Of Boston, had also been taxed the yesr
before on 5 5000. whereas the amount q
taxable property was over $4,000. A
very short time age rich resident q
ole Of the neaghboring towns died, Ht
had been taxed for less than $200.oeo

estate hasnow been found to amount t.
