FUTURE OF IRON INDUSTRY.
Great Britain Compelled TO Seek New
Sources of supply.

Sources oil supply
WASHINGTON. oct 22.-Special.-'rhe
meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute
IN Sweden this year has caused nu-
merous comments and reports in the
newspapers here. and the Hendels-och
Siofarts-Tidning Of GOthenburg, copies
the following from a German paper:
The British iron industry is compelled
10 seek new sources for the supply OF

exhausted. on the success Of this rests
the question whether or not England
shall predominant as the foremost iron
and steel producing nation Thirty years
ago English ore exclusively was used
I'm the manufacture OF iron and steel In
England. but with the development OF
industry "a better quality Of ore was de-
manded. and hence the shipment of ore
from Spain. which has furnished England
with more than 900 tons.
THE Spanish ore was at that time
the best and cheapest raw material which
could be obtained. and England could
buy this ore for JOS. Cd. 10 lis. d. ($255
10 $50 per ton, while the ore from
the Lake Superior mines could not be
sold for less than Dos. 10 3Os. Siob TO

recently. when the United States has
taken the lead. The iron industry OF the
United States has. since the opening or
the different new mines at Lake Superior,
developed 10 a great extent The miners
have been able 90 furnish the manufac-
turers with "a fine quality of ore at
very low price. 900,
from $3.50 20 $3.50 per ton. This gave
the American manufacturers cheaper
and better material than could be OBJ
tanned in Europe. Since 1894 the price
has stin further declined, and Is this
year sold at from 81 10 S23 per ton.
This ore is Of the very best quality and
superior 10 the EWOpea prO1Lct IN con-
sequence Of this. the price of pig iron
manufactured from this ore has declined
and brought the American manufacturers
% the front line on the European mar
ket. II these manufacturers can obtain
the raw material az cheaper rate than
the English they will hold the lead, and
England must give up her rank in this
line.
As the Spanish mines cannot pro-
duce IN quantity wanted and in a near
future will bee exhausted, the English
manufacturers have come 10 Sweden,

and unmcasured quantity of ore The
Iron ana steel Institute recently held a
meeting I'm Stockholm; the members
have Inspected the mines in the northern
part of sweden and examined the facill-
ties of obtaining the ore. If the trans
port will not prove too costly, It is UNI

manufacturers 10 buy the ore In Sweden.
