Under the old common law 1t would

to organize such combines, trusts and

There are pretended statutes against

to see defects and weak places in the

The Piq Iron Boom.

When MIR. A. M. Shook named 15,000,-
600 tons as the possible production and
consumption of iron in 1898, many, per-
haps considered him over-sarguine; but
this Is doubtless another instance of the
confusion of critics. for his figures
promise 70 be nearer the mark than
their figures.
Iron is being consumed today at the
rate at least of 124SO,OoO tons a year!
The production on the first day of Oc-
tober s. God at 100000 tons week, from
Iii furnaces On Sept. 1 stocks stood at
S64, 900 tons; on Oct. 1. at 6s1,591 tons.
The consumption of former production
was therefore al, the rate of 10000 tons q
week Add this to the current produc-
ton and there are 100000 tons a week
12,4S0,0e tons a year. And this estimate
does no; take into account furnaces that
have started up since Oct. 1.
The highest production in past years
was in the four closing months of 1895,
when 217.000 tons were produced a week
and that year still holds the record, g.
$4,000 tons. If we jump in 1898 to 15,.
900, 900 tons, we will maintain the rate OF
increase OF the last twenty years. II
prosperity goes on deepening and widen
ing in 1898, every pound of iron that car
be made will be needed-if not in this
country, then in other lands. Fer i
should never be forgo ten that the worlt
is now our field.
But perhaps it may be said the presen
number of furnaces in the country can
not turn out 100000 tons a week. Quit
true. The maximum output would fal
short at least 10000 tons. 1t follows
therefore, that more furnaces should b,
built. The production of the Birming
ham dis, riot is 10 per cent. of the coun
