Speaking of the present condition and outlook
for the Pennsylvania and Maryland Company Mr.
Wood sad Previous to the last year we were In q
position to compete most favoraby with the steel
manufacturers of the country. Just at sent we
are not, though the fault IL not our own. 1t ia all
due to the discovery of deposits of good steel-mak

Owing TO the freight charges we cannot. OF course
compete with the mills west of the Aleghenies in
purchasing this ore. nor can the foreign ore from
Cuba and the Mediterranean, which we use en-
