Steel is now being used for purposes
never thought of heretofore. 1t is now
being used in Ohio for wagon roads.
These roads consist of two rails made of
steel the thickness of boiler plate, each
formed in the shape of gutter inches
wide, with square perpendicular Shout
der y inch high, then an angle of inch
outward slightly raised. The gutter
forms a conduit for the water, and makes
it easy for the wheels to enter or leave a
track Such double track steel railroad,
16 feet wide, filled in between with broken
stone, would cost about $4,000 per mile,
but the cost of a rural one-track steel
road would be only $4,000 per mile. 1t is
claimed that such a road would last much
longer than stone, and that one horse will
draw on a steel track twenty times as
much as on a dirt road.

Orange Situation. In this article is the
following statement:
ITO further complicate the situation
there is considerable dissatisfaction Just
now in regard to the manner in which the
Southern California exchanges are hand

the market at some points has been de-
moralized by auctions, held by the agent of
the exchange, and that bad judgment has
been shown in distributing the fruit, an in
stance being given where q dozen cars of
fruit were sent to one small plrce which
could not possibly consume any such
amount"
1t Is not stated who makes the complaint.
but as this Office is not in possession of any
complaints from the various exchanges or
the orange growers therein, we conclude
that the dissatisfaction must be upon the

WALL STREET SPECULATION
,Duilness and Low Prices the Noticeable
Features
Heavy Operators Prefer to Delay Operations
Until the Financial and Political
Outlook Is Clear
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
New YORK, Jan. l7.-Dulness was the
main character of the stock speculation to-
day and, as usual under similar condition,
a sagging tendency in prices was noted.
The aggregate dealings did not exceed
II 900, % volume of business that would
in a regulation market be recorded in a
single hour or less. OF such a market de-
tailed comment is almost superfluous. The
semi-stagnation illustrates the purpose of
the larger operators to postpone dealings
upon an important scale until the political
and financial outlook is clearer. Should
the money continue reasonably easy dur
ing the comparatively short interval before
the bids for the government loan are
opened and the success of the loan dem
onstrated, an improved condition Of af-
fairs in Wall street is expected to rule,
providing that no political entaglement oc-
cur. In the initial dealings the market
was heavy and prices sagged throughout
the day, tho depression becoming marked
in the closing dealings. The publication
of encouraging exhibits by several inn
portant railroads for the second week in
January failed to stimulate activity or
advance. London cables came lower.
and the selling for that account in
this market yesterday was continued today.
In the money and exchange markets no
special change was noted. engagements
of only s. 100000 in gold for shipment
tomorrow, despite previous estimates of
an ouigo of from S2,000,000 to s3.000,-
900, did not elicit any encouragement. A
temporary demand from the shorts caused
an early advance of | per cent in the stock
to 10l. The abatement of inquiry for cov-
ering purposes caused reaction later to-
day to 99H. Sugar lost about ! per cent,
despite q reported slight advance in bard
grades of the product. In the railway
bond market prices were fairly we'll main
tained in the early trading. In the late
session, however, declines occurred in
sympathy with the depression in the stock
speculation. Government securities were
quiet on sales of 1000; the IS coupon
were l d per cent lower in the bid price of
the first call, bnt subsequently were traded
in at an improvement of & per cent over
yesterdays closing bid.

part OF the outside dealers and commission
men whose bu .iness Is more or less inter-
tered with by the exchange.
Figures and statistics are usually weari-
some, but we beg you will permit us TO call
attention to few figures which will per-
haps throw light on the situation. The
Southern California Fruit exchange con-
trolls more than one-haif of the orange
crop. During the month of December the
total orange shipments from Southern Cal
ifornia reached 9s4 cars. or these the ex.
change shipped 243 cars, trifle over one
fourth. The total shipments for the season
up to and including January l 1th, from all
Southern California points, amount to 1872
cars. OF these the exchange shipped 4sS
cars, less than One-thiTd.
Now we submit that in view of the fact
that we control more than 80 per cent of
the crop, and had made barely 80 per cent
of tho shipments up TO this time, the charge
that we are the people who are glutting the
markets is not well founded.
In past years the exchange attempting
to sell! its product f. O. b. California, fixing
price from time to time for the goods,
found that the outside shippers were con-
stantly cutting under the price. The re-
suit of this was that the exchange held its
fruit while the other people marketed
theirs. This year we propose to have our
share of the market against all comers.
We have strenuously avoided the ship
ment of green fruit, and wherever we have
found indications of frost damage have so
far as possible excluded it, shipping only
highly colored sound stock.
1t is further claimed that the market at
some points is demoralized by auctions
held by agents of the exchange. With the
exception of the Atlantic seaboard cities,
which are always auction markets, no auc-
ton has been held by any agent of the ex-
change except at Pittsburg.
We are not infallibie, nor do we expect
to be exempt from criticism, but it is evil
dent that our undertaking to do our busi-
mission man and enemies Of the exchange

London Markets

NEW YORK, Jan. II The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: There was
considerable reaction today in all the markets
which were running up too fast. The absence
of business, together with profit taking, caused
really weak except perhaps Kaffirs, and there
the weakness was due to fears OF serious Ia
bor ditliculty at the mines some time to come.
American railway shares we're down with
the other markets, but the bond market keeps
good, which Is an encouraging sign. Gold is
being quietly picked mp here in the open mar
ket for America.
Consols were lower today on revival of ru-
mors of a suspension of the sinking fund. The
rumor is probably bear fabrication.

DUN 6 Co.'S Review

New YORK, Jan. 17.-R. G. Dun &, Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Tho situation could hardly be more per-
picking for business men. Practical mer-
chants, manufacturers or bankers can
have little sympathy for those who mini
mize their difficulties. None doubt that
government will raise money to meet all
its obligations, but how far the money
market will be disturbed or the treasury
reserve first diminishen no one can say.
The business world cannot know as yet
how far foreign questions may upset calcu-
lations, though there seems every reason to
expect a peaceful settlement. 1t cannot
know what may be the duties on any of the
important imports month hence, whether
imports are likely to exceed exports and
draw away gold, whether the deficit of rev.
enue will continue or what other taxation
will be levied. Failure of the senate to
take any action upon the financial meas
ures proposed by the president or those
passed by the house affects unfavorably all
branches of business. Under such adverse
circumstances 1t is actually encouraging
that shrinkage in transactions and result
ing commercial disasters have not been
grea er. But four large failures within
day or two indicate that the same condi-
ton cannot continue without much embar-
rassment.
Speculation in products was not very
active, and wheat was practically un-
changed, though Atlantic exports for two
weeks, flour included. have been 4,4S3,-
100 bushels, against 4,273,125 last year.
Wheat-Receipts still make short crop
predictions ridiculous, amounting for two
weeks of January to 5,421 ,976 bushels
against 1850, ,122 last year.
Corn-Receipts were also liberal and ex-
ports about five times last years.
The opening of fine and fancy woolens
has brought no change in prices. There
has been some demand, not enough to keen
most OF the mills running full. Sales of
wool in two weeks have been 4,994, 800
pounds domestic and 6,S63,300 foreign,
against 6,290,615 domestic and 4,41O,2OO
foreign last year.
The pig iron output weekly since Janu-
ary l was 2O7,4S1 tons, q decrease of
93l or 4.3 per cent in December, and I'M
sold stocks increased 9l,125 tons, or over
10000 weekly, while the great steel
companies whose stocks are not re-
ported produced in December 342.936
tons. The production Is so far beyond the
present demand for finished products that
temporary stoppage of many furnaces is
expected, yet pig iron is higher. Bessemer
about so cents and gray forge and anthra-
cite, % cents, although finished products
are generally weaker, with less demand.
Controllers of the coke and ore output are
said to have agreed to maintain prices
above those of 1898, which makes
dearer pig iron, but if orders for
finished products do not materialize, the
increased advance in materials can hardly
be maintained. Minor metals are weaker,
with copper at 9.75, about 5000 tons lead
at cents and tin at 13 cents.
Failures for the past week have been
larger in magnitude, numbering 800 in the
United States against 373 last year, and
81 in Canada against 60 last year.
