That there win ID shortage
IRON OF Bessemer ores before the
TRADE opening OF navigation 10 1896
REVIEW: is now generally accepted.
While there has been more or
less discussion OF such contingency
from the time OF the Marquette strike,
the practical certainty OF this outcome
was not conceded until freight rates went
out Of ore shippers reach and stayed al
prohibatiye point long enough to make
sure that q reaction was not To be ex-
pected. The additional apportionments
OF Gogebic and vcrmillion ores to fur
nncemen short on their Marquette con-
tracts were expected 10 assist materially
toward providing sufficient supply ;
hut these sales were made with con
tract clause carrying shipment over TO
next year In casc ireights went above
81 20 from the head OF the lake. Moth
iications have been given that these ores
will not be moved this year. Computa-
tions ~ 10 the amount Of the shortage
contain these elements: A consumption
OF Lake Superior Bessemer ores in the
past three months Mt nm annual rate OF
nearly 100000 tons; shipments for
the season OF about 100000 tons OF
ore that will enter into Bessemer mix
lures. The amount oI Bessemer ore on
dock and ia the furnace yards last
spring Is m uncertain element, az is also
the rate Of Bessemcr ore consumption in
the six months that will elapsc before
1896 orc can come down. Rail ship
Inents OF considerable amount will
no doubt be made in the winter
to the Chicago district, but this
Is out Of the question, on present mar
gins, for valley or Pittsburg furnaces.
The prospects are that the conservative
course Of the ore companies associa-
ton the present season will be the pat
tern for its operations next year. An
unsettled question is the attitude OF the
producers 81 Mesabi Bessemers, some OF
whom sec that their interest will be con
served by cooperating with old-nnge
companies. The question of diiieren-
tial will probably be decided on the basis
OF two years OF market experience and
the consensus OF iurnacomon not inter
ested in the new range, as TO the relative
values OF Alesabi and other ores OF BESSIE
mer quality. In the past week tho Esca-
naba rate on ore has vibrated between
81 and Sl.10. Considerable Marquette
tonnage has been taken in the past two
days at $i.25. From the head Of the
lakes to South Chicago $l.50 has been
done, but scarcely any business has been
placed for Ohio ports. with wheat ut five

MEsAnI shipments yesterday, the

Jack and Mssabo Mountain
mines for the season being slightly in
excess of the half million mark. OF this
enormous aggregate the Lone Jack con
tributed 100000 tons. while 10 the
Missabe Mountain il accredited 10000
tons, approximately. Shipments from
these properties would have been greatly
augmented had the mines been furnished
with ears more regularly, and shipments
would doubtless have been continued
until the close OF navigation had not
lake ireights advanced TO point nearly
equaling the present price OF ore. The
mine will retain practically the same
force for time, cleaning up aud pre-
pairing for winter, and will also proba-
bly, do small amount OF stripping by
hand on the east end Of the Lone Jack
cut. As TO the work TO be done on these
properties another season, nothing is
yet known, but with the advanced price
OF ore it is more than probable the
mines will be worked TO their utmost.

Some Reasons for the Size OF This Years
Taxes.
The Democratic papers are already
endeavoring tn make political capital
nui ~ the state tax tlnportinnment for
the present year. published lust week.
IL was expected they would do SO. They
are at perfect liberty 10 do SO. and am
ticipating such o move the following
explanation may not be out 81 place:
Owing 10 the current expenses al the
legislature, the state tax is greater Tor
odd than for even years. Last year the
sum appropriated was but 81 esq.,
1876 50. In 1893 it was s. ,93l ,2lI 90.
Various causes contributed Ia increase
the amonnt Of this years tax, the prin-
cipnl one being the failure 81 the Iecisla-
ture of 1903 to incorporate tax clauses
ia all its appropriation bills. la these
cases, the appropriations had to he
paid, and the deficiency made up by the
legislature OF 1895. The legislature OF
1898 even neglected 60 provide for the
payment Of its own expenses In the gem
cral purpose Till last year, md also
made numerous appropriations after
the bill had been passed. The last legis-
laturc Also provided Tor restoring the
treasury balance TO the condition il was
in when the Democrats took hold oil the
affairs OF the state. and reduced this bal
ance in the SUN OF S257 ,636.SS.

Ia order to prevent the possibility Of
collisions and 10 increase the facility
with which trains may be made up at
the West Yard, the Psnnsl lvania rail
road has inaugurated new method Of
switching That these switches may be
regulated properly new tower house Is
being built.
Tne new structure Is OF two stories
and will have In II sixty levers for the
regulation Of the various switches IL is
l6x32 feet, and the sides OF The second
story Is Of glass save for the sash The
old tower house Is l2xi4 feet and there
are but thirty eight levers. Two men are
employed IA the old house within
twenty four hours. In the new one three
telegraph operators will change al.
ternRteiv every eight hours. At present
the operator takes charge of the tele-
graph instrument and the levers There
will be two men, to be called signal
repairers. who will alternate With each
other every twelve hours when the new
system Is IN working order They will
