CANADA MADE CONCESSION.
WINS Not at All Chnrry in Giving
ANvnN Inland Territory.


Away Inland Territory.
New York, August "a special to the
Herald from Ottawa, Ont, says: It ha
developed in connection with the Alaskan
boundary matter that Canada not long
ago made a territorial concession OF some
Importance to the United States. In 1898
c; mmlssioners were appointed TO gathe,
data for the dellmitation of the boundary.
These commissioners-Gene Duffield for
the United States and MIR. King, Dominion
astronomer, for Canada-were empowered
10 engage surveyors, who We're to locate
in particular, the 14ls; meridian. which is
the boundary mentioned in the old treaty
as dividing Canada from Alaska up 10 a
cram point.
When the observations had been taken
1t was discovered that the i4lst meridian
struck the coast over the western shout
der OF NJ unit ST. Elias The United S ,atss
authorities suggested thas 1t would be
more convenient TO take the apex of
Mount s.. Elias as the starting point OF
the boundary line than moving 1t 2 fl
statute miles further east 1t was agreed
that the new boundary line thus ran should
meet the true meridian twentythree and
one third statute miles north from Mount
81. Elias. The United States. by this ar
rangemen;, secured twenty eight square
miles Of territory. Canada readily con-
scented TO make this gift, as the United
States desired to share equally with Can
ada in having the highest mountain of
North America within her territory. TIL $
fact is recalled as proof that Canada does
not always adhere 10 1.-THE Chamberlain

THE IRON TRADE.
The Rising Tendency Continues and
DelnNh nre Numernus

Ihe Rising Tendency Continues and
DELAYS are Numerous.
New York, August I'm its review of
trade the Iron Age will say: The rising
tendency continues unabated and II is a
question whether delays in deliveries have
not actually become worse than better
lately. Scarcity OF labor. scarcity of coke.
of pig iron, billets, wire rods is trou-
ping makers from step to step upward to
the final consumer
Sales for delivery during the first half of
1900 and beyond are showing more numer-
Gus, thus showing that many buyers are
wiling TO pay present prices for the GER
tainty OF securing their supplies So far
as deliveries during the balance of the
year are concerned, the maintenance of
prices is conceded by the majority which
every day brings concessions to the ranks
OF those who believe that the market will
reach higher level. This seems to be
the situation In pig iron both in foundry
and in Bessemer grades and for delivery
the next few months there has been a
further advance. Pittsburg record sales
OF Bessemer pig and as high as Valley
Forge Steel continues exceedingly scarce
and high prices are being paid for prompt
shipments, notably for open hearth stocks.
IL is slgnlhcant that one rolling mill has
just given an order for the importation
from England OF $50 tons OF open hearth
billets and that other inquiries are at
hand. Orders for foreign open hearth wire
rods were placed by screwmakers some
time since and there are lndica ions that
additional quantities may be drawn from
Europe.
While the capture of many large bridge
orders from the foreign market has at
tracted general attention, striking pro-
gress has been very quietly made in eX
tending market for buildings and sheds.
We understand that buildings have been
captured. not alone for the West Indies,
Chile, Peru and Central American States,
but also for European countries. We learn
that one firm alone placed contracts ag-
gregating 5000 tons in July.
Among the bridge orders in the mar
ket we note eight bridges for Japan. They
were designed by American consulting en-
gineers
