Steel and Iron Outlook.

i Last February the price of stee
f, rails at Pittsburg was $40 a ton; i,
is now $33 ton. Last February
the price of Bessemer pig iron at
$ll ton, and it now quotes at $23.-
o0. A little figuring out of the cost
OF raw material, and labor cost, will
show that there was larger margin
of profit for the railmaker in Februa-
rY, at Wy a ton, than there is in No.
vember, at $33 ton. These facts
undoubtedly had much influence on
the purchasing agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company in closing a
contract for 100000 tons of rails at
$33 a ton, to be delivered next wear

Outlook of Next Seasons
Cane Crop.

But Asking Prioss May Vet

Willett & Gray's latest New York
circular has the following on Hawaiian
sugars:
HAWAIIAN EXPORTS-From July
to July 2S, 1899, there were 24,447 tons
of sugar exported from the Islands.
HAWAII, July, 1899.-The outlook
for this years cane crop Is at present
very promising, largely owing to the
very favorable weather which has pre-
vailed during the entire spring. The
1S9S-99 crop is entirely harvested and
worked up, except on few plantations
which grind all the year round. 1t Is
said that when the new harvest begins
the sugar companies will be in better
working condition than ever before at
the opening Of a campaign. Much new
up-to-date machinery has been recently
imported. the shipping facilities have
been greatly improved. and many other
changes effected. II is still too early
to estimate the probable size OF the
crop. but no radical increase Is possible
until 10000, when number of new
plantations will start operations. A
large volcano is now in eruption in Ha
wall, but as yet no fear is felt that 1t
will damage the cane crop.

1t is due to Captain j. d. Patterson,

thern way to Manila. via Nagasaki. 1t
was when Patterson arrived in San
Francisco, returning from brief fur
Tough up on the Sound to see his fam
lily, after the Senator had brought the
Pennsylvania regiment safe to the
Coast from Manila, that the United
States quartermaster there showed him
orders from General Otis that all
United States transports should go to
Manila by way of Nagasaki in order
to avoid coaling at Manila during the
typhOon season. The Morgan City,
obeying Otis orders. had already
sailed for Nagasaki.
Captain Patterson most sensibly sug-
gested that smaller transports could
scarcely reach Nagasaki in thu heavy
weather now prevailing and after con-
sultation with Washington. Otis Or
ders were countermanded, and for the
future all the smaller transports will
continue to stop at Honolulu for coal
