THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wall Street Review.

New York. Feb ao.-Business at the
Stock Exchange was more active TO-DAY
and firm tone characterized the dealings
from start to finish. The greatest activi-
ty was in the bond department, however.
and 1t is estimated that the investment
demand for this class of securities was
heavier today than at any time since the
publication of President Cleveland's Vene-
zuelan message. Foreign houses were
large buyers and brokers identified with
firms that secured big blocks of the new
Is were also prominent as purchasers. The
dealings of railway and miscellaneous
aggregated $3,3S3.00O. The demand ran
chiefly to the North Pacific Atchison,
Wabash, Denver and Gulf, Kansas and
Texas and Fort Worth and Oregon short
and the buying for both foreign ;sld DOM
estic investment account is still due to
successful placing Of the new loan; the
restoration of the treasury gold reserve;
the ease with which settlements are be-
ing made; the low rates for money and
finally to the strength OF the new bonds.
which today sold up to 1lS. London was
abuyer of st. Paul. Louisville and Nash
Vile and the low-priced western stocks.
Louisville and Nashville was the leader
and rose about points to 53la. st. Paul
rose to ISIS: Burlington and Quincy to

Manhattan TO 1851; Pacific Mail to 297s;
Western Union to SGss; Union Pacific to
S&, and Wabash Preferred to 1915, and
Denver Preferred to 4si4. Northern Paci-
tc was little more active on reports
that the various interests were getting to-
ether for the purpose OF reOrgani2'ng the
company. The Industrials were relegat-
ed TO the rear and the changes in them
were far less important than Of late. Su-
gar ranged between 1855 and llGss. and

orR IRON AND srssl. INDUSTRIES.


Historic names are associated with our
colonial iron industry. MOrdecai Lincoln
oi Scituate, Mass, from whom Abraham
Lincoln was direct'y dSscended. was the
principal owner early as lIo3, III com
pdny with his brother. Daniel Lincoln, or the
Bound Brook iron works. Ausust!n " ash
ington,. was engaged in the manufacture
OF pig iron at Accokeek Furnace. in stat
ford county. Virginia, at the time George
Washington was born. His iron interests
were continued in the Washington fam
lily down to the revolution.
The sreat progress fhat has been made
In late years i'll this country i'll the con-
struction OF steel bridges and in the SUD-
stitut:on or iron and steel for wood In the
erection OF public and private buildings.
particularly the very high buildings that
are now to be seen In all our large cities.
could not have taken place II our iron
and steel manufacturers had not first DEM
onstrated their ability to produce the
structural forms required and at low
prices.
The manufacture of wire rope is another
leading branch of our steel-wire industry
and so also has been the manufacture OF
telegraph and telephone wire. Electric
railways, too, require large quantities of
steel wire. We did not make the steel
FOR these articles until after 1860. The
wire cables for the Brooklyn bridge.
which was completed in 1853, were made of
American steel.
-
1t may be doubted whether many per-
sons realize the magnitude of the steel
wire industry of this country. The 5.6Sl,-
col kegs Of wire nails manufact ured In 1884
were the equivalent Of 253.652 tons. AL
most as many tons OF steel wire for fenc-
ing are also annually produced.
Several sisners of the declaration were
colonial iron manufacturers. as We're also
two of the most notable officers Of the
continental army. General Nathaniel
Greene and Colonel Ethan Allen. In l7i2
Benjamin Franklin invented the Frank
lin stove. which Is still In use in some old
Pennsylvania houses.
Ten years ago the making of heavy
armor plates was an untried industry IN
this country but today our heavy armor
plates are admitted to he the best in the
world and within the last year the Rus.
sian government has purchased American
armor plates In preference to those made
In European establishments.
1t was not until near the end of the
first quarter of the present century that
We made any considerable quantity OF
nails with the cut-nal machines with
which the present generation Is familiar
Until 1883 all our cut nails were made OF
iron but in that year We began to make
them OF bessemer steel and in the same
year steel-wire nails began to come into
use as substitute for cut nails.

THE president SAYS that the power OF
the trusts and monopolies should be re-
stricted by legislation; Mckinley saws
amen. The people have listened 20 such
promises for years. but no relief comes.
The interstate commerce commission
was created for the purpose Of protecting
the people against extortion by railroad
monopolies, but the decisions have all
been in favor OF the corporations. So it
goes from one year TO smother and the
people find no relief. The power OF the
trusts increases; the will of the people
decreases.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The official vote OF the state shows
some interesting facts, With the ex.
ception OF the Bryan electors, the Which,
Desno-fop fusion ticket would have me,
defeat had the Republicans been united
in support Of one ticket. Bryan woald
have carried the state by a slender lOi
votes. Quarles would have been de-
fea,ed for supreme judge by i,Ste votes.
Taking the vote Of lieutenant governor as
the basis Of Silver Republican strength,
deduct it from Steunenbere's vote for
governor, add il to that received by Bud
long and he would have been elected by
. majority Of Gil. Gum received H.,
49, votes for congress, Borah and Morri,
son 1900, or ISIS votes more than
Gum, The Demo-PNpnlist candidate
for lieutant governor would have been
defeated by 40 votes; the secretary
OF state by S92 votes; the state au
ditor by sal votes; the state tressur,r
by soT votes; attorney general by 7S5;
superintendent Of public instruction b.
1912; inspector OF mines by / ass votes.
1t might he well for the ropuhsts and
Democrats who are inclined TO take ali
the credit for the defeat Of the gold
standard ticket, to ponder over these
figures and give the Silver Republicans
just little bit OF credit for making the
election of their ticket possible.
The friends OF silver must be united
hereafter ii they expect to win success,
and these figures show that the Silver
Republicans are factor that cannot b.
ignored. Senator Dubois is their
choice for United States senator. and il
would seem To be stroke of good poll
tics Tor the friends OF silver in the Dem
ocratic and foprlist parties ia the leSis-
lature to support him. These parties
have the governor; they have the con-
gresham and the entire state ticket.
and should recognize the Silver Repub-
hcsns by giving them the senator. Ii
the Fopuhsts are rot disposed to des,
fairly with the eight or nine thousand Sill
yer Republicans in the state-nore votes
than either OF the three other parties
can musteT-then the Temocrats will
have golden opportunity 20 unite with
item in the formation of political or
ganisStion in this state that will con-
troll lie political and official Affairs 50
long as it deals honestly and Justly with
the people.
The Silver Republicans are IN posi-
ton that does not require begging OF
favors-they hold the taiance oi power !
IN this state any way you figure it, and |
are in shape to make terms

TRE Republicans in congress are OPP
posed to the passage OF the Dingley bill,
Senstor Dubois and his colleagues OPP
posed this bill in the last congress and
were condemned by the Republicans,
who now admit that they were right.
Dubois makes a very sensible suggestion
when he gives il as his opinion that
there is no show Tor the bill at the pres,
ent session: at is bill that has al
ready been condemned and it would be
folly TO waste any time over it. Con-
Sress shoold pass the appropriation bills
and then go home"
