HIGH PRICES FOR IRON,

Much injury is done to branches of the iron
and steel industry In these days by the hasty
assumption that the great advance In prices
is wholly mainly the work Of combinations,
or, at all events. represents enormous profits
for the manufacture Of finished products. The
inference is not wholly unnatural, because so
many new corporations have been loudly pro-
claiming their Control" OF everything In sight.
But the Bessemer Pig Association only en-
braces a small share OF the furnaces within its
limited district, Of which Cleveland and Pitts
burg are the markets. and was for long time
constantly undersold. so that its nominal price
became rather a laughing stock, until the de-
mand so far exceeded the supply that almost
any maker could fix his own price. Yet 1t has
recently been undersold at Pittsburg. Mean
while all the Eastern region the Chicago
gion. with its enormous output. and the South
ern region are entirely beyond the control
Of the Bessemer Association.
Prices of pig have advanced about as much
for anthracite at the East. for local coke at
Chicago, or for Grey Forge at Pittsburg, for
Bessemer there. the little difference being due
to extraordinary demand for steel making
Prices OF some finished products have advanced
in greater proportion. and It is especially note
worthy that those have thus advanced which
are not III the ledsl Contributed ny any corpora
ton. Steel plates for instance. have more than
doubled in price at Philadelphia, and risen from
81 % to 81 so this year at Pittsburg though
there is no pretence of control. The extraordi-
nary demand for shipbuilding and for struct-
ural work is the obvious cause No corporation
controls the production OF beams and angles
though the makers personally agree about
prices. which have been advanced conserva-
lively. and not as much in proportion as the
price Of pig There has been no pretence Of
control in the market for refined bars at the
East, which have nevertheless advanced as
much the market for common iron bars at
Pittsburg, which Is in the main, controlled by

glance at the comparison shows that all
prices have moved in fairly close correspondence
with each other. and with prices OF pig the
chief variations being in steel plates. tin plates
and wire nails. Reckoning the cost OF pig III
cents a hundred pounds AZ cents in November
and 92lk cents in July, and allowing about w
per cent loss Of material in manufacture OF
rails. bars structural forms and plates. ID per
cent in manufacture of nails. and ~ per cent
in manufacture OF sheets and tin plates, IL
would appear that rails are selling for relatively
less than their cost In November The former
difference between prices and those OF pig rep
resentng approximate cost or manufacture
and profits was 80 cents for common bars, %
cents for refined and angles. and 10 cents Tor
beams. and these differences have been in
creased 37h cents in each case, partly for the
general advance In wages, and partly for bet
ter profits. In plates the difference was to
cents and has increased 92h cents. no COM
bnation having shadow OF control.
The difference between the price Of nails and
the cost Of material has advanced GO cents on
G5 cents for cut and 65 cents on So cents for
wire which is more than the ordinary gain. on
sheets the advance has been but 80 cents on
former difference of 81 40, less in proportion
than other gains. These sheets, when polished
and timed, sold for 30 cents more than the
back sheets No. q in November and now sell
for 81 3711 more since the advance Of 80 cents
just made by the Tin Plate Company, but the
cost OF the tin used. 2h pounds, has risen from
4437 cents to 1925 cents. so that the tin
plate makers have 65h cents for cost Of pre-
pairing and timing. against 1858 cents in No
vember, when the business profitable for
very few OF the difference, 20.62 cents per
hundred pounds, unknown part would be
covered by the recent rise Of Is per cent in
wages, leaving for other expenses and profits
a gain smaller than appears in most other
branches of the manufacture 1t may be added
that foreign plates are now selling here at 50 10.
against 81 last November. and, deducting the
same duty at both dates, at 81 II cost Of trans
portation included, against 81 80 in November,

The demand that policemen be withdrawn
from the employ Of the street car companies is
not we'll founded The police are not in the
employ in the service OF those companies
They are not handling the motors nor collecting
fares. They merely keeping order and pre-
venting violence. The demand that they be
taken from the cars can mean nothing else than
that the strikers want to do something to the
cars which they dare not do in the presence of
the police. That is the best of reasons for
keeping the police right where they are as long
as they are needed.

fully investigating the matter, denounces the
soldiers letters which some papers have been
printing in this country with so much anti-ex

published in the United States" Their horrible
tales OF taking no prisoners Shooting captives
in cold blood" "plunder and loot" etc, he de-
nounces as "baseless rumors" none Of which
ARE true in the form in which they circulate,
and few OF which have any foundation genuine
whatever" He says he has investigated

solutely false" We have doubt that he takes
precisely the right view Of them He has done
we'll In writing OF them thus. and THE Evening

thus administering a much merited rebuke to
the sheets that have been exploiting the
wretched falyehoods.
