III. Iron Production In 1896

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-The Amerl-
can Iron and Steel Association has re-
oeived from the manufacturers complete
returns of the production of pig iron Ill
the United States in 1895. The soiai pro-
duction of pig iron in 1898 was 40 -.
gross tons, against s.4i6.S0s In 1873, o,eo.'Sss
tons I'm 1894. al2l.5O2 tons in 1893, 9lo"vVo
tons in 1892. S.27s.s10 tons In 1881, ana
q 202 zoe tons In 1880 The production IN
lse6 was s23 1S1 tons about per cent? less
than In 1895. 40.
There was great snrinkage IN prouuc-
tion I'm the last half OF 1896, but In the
twelve months embracing the last nan Oh
1896 and the first half Of 1896, the produc-
tion was 10 s54. 1856 tons of pig iron ms
large production was due to the boom OF
1906. The greatly decreased population III
the last half Of 1896 was due TO the reac-
ton from that boom and TO the uncer-
tainty and apprehension attending the
Presidential campaign Of that year.
The production Of Bessemer pig IRON IN
1896 was 1854, 955 tons. against 5'623'bso tons
in 1895. a decrease Of 96S,7 4O tons. The
great increase in the total production OF
pig iron in 1895 over 1894 was largely
caused by the extraordinary demand for
Bessemer pig iron. which demand was in
turn chiefly caused by the extraordinary
demand for structural steel, but In 1895
there was a slackening I'm the demand Tor
structural steel and also in the demand
for steel rails.

The Annual Statement of tho Equitable


In times like these the item at which
the investor looks first in examining
any financial balance-sheet is the item
OF surplus.
The annual statement OF the Equitable
Life Assurance Society Of New YORK.
which appears to-day, reports q surplus
OF over forty-three millions. This is not
only a substantial increase over the pre-
vious statement, but il is claimed by the
company TO be a larger surplus fund by
many millions, than any other life-assur-
ance company has accumulated.
II, in ordinary investments, surplus is
the item of chief Importance because
Il is the measure at once OF security and
profit, it is not surprising that its inn
portance should be emphasized in con-
nection with the investment Of money

OTIS SKINNER.
The Celebrated Actor TO Appear nj the
Academy Next Tuesday Evening.


Fighting was a recognized trade four
hundred years ago; many Cf the sons
of noble houses enrolled themselves under
the banners Of different nations. some
fighting for their pay, but II was general
~ the loot which made a career OF arms
a great inducement. especially TO I'M
pOverishcd gentlemen. Soldiers or fortune
were continually wandering about ana
some of them, not caring 10 enroll them
selves under any particular banner, SIM
Div fought on their own account. When
the French army crossed the Alps and
conquered Lombardy, almost without
etriking blow. there were many OF
these sO-called free lances in the pay or
the French king. This period OF Italian
history is intensely interesting, both TO
the student, TO the reader OF books ana
to the play-goer. 1t was period when
a mans worth was counted by his deeds
rather than by his words. This is the
time which Otis Skim er has taken for
his new play, "A Soldier Of Fortune.
which will be presented at the Acad-
envy Of Music next Friday evening. the
opening night Of his coming engagement
in this city. The play is said TO be ox-
tremely interesting and well written,
with short. sharp dialogue; TO be replete
in action AMI that the situations and
climaxes are as dramatic as the most
captious could wish for.
On Saturday romance will give way 10
Shakespeare, for at the matinee Mr..
Skinner will present his revival Of Romeo
and Juliet and in the evening Richard
Ill" VIII be given. Mr.. skinner COM
pany is said to be extremely large and
well-balanced. and all of the plays which
he presents are given elaborate and hand
some productions.
The claim Is made for Lincoln ]. Car

that its realisms are or such an i'm
