d SUPPLEMENT.

NJ. Jules Pravieux, writing for "The Athc-
naeum" n survey of the French literature of the
last year. observes that as a matter of fact
literature has not during that period held the
first place in his country "Ihc attention or
"thc French has been forcibly mOnopollzcd. he
declares, "by the yicisstudcs OF certain case.
4" Artists and thinkers have been living
"n an atmosphere Of contention" All this
has a familiar sound, but we have not been
prepared to find a Frcnchman confirming rs
Mr. Pravicux does, Nine Darmesteter's recent
statement that the Dreyfus case had purified
contemporary letters. "The nOvelsts have
given up studying love only" says this com
mentator. They have set themselves free
from the obscssion Of the Seventh Command
"ment. Several Of them have attempted to
srenovate the novel" NJ Pravcux does not
add that NJ Anatole France, for example, has
flung himself into the discussion Of the "af-
faire" without attempting any renovation or
his morbid ideas, in "EAnncau dAmethystc,"
but one cannot expect French fiction TO be
uurged in a day The main point is that it
las become possible for n native critic to record
an upward movement and to take it seriously.
The French novel Is being renovated! 1nnu-
Incrablc readers who are not prudes, either,
Will find cause for rejoicing in this unexpected
service which Captain Dreyfus has rendered to
France. But they will be pardOncd for ex-
.ressing their JOY in the mildest possible terms
until they have seen how long the new move
ElCnt lasts.

the twir of his shillclah and their coattails
are dcflnty spread. Realism and llcalism are
battling together in their midst, and wigs are
OH the green. Mr.. Yeats thinks one way about
Life, Love and Letters. Mr. John Eglinton has
different views. "A. f." and Mr. W. Larminie
have imported their ideas into the circle OF

Ideals in Ireland" which contains among other
gems this priceless one from the store Of Mr.

The Pottery Combine.

The New York Crockery and Glass
Journal, paper devoted to the glass
and pottery trades. says that all the
plans have been perfected. and that the
American Potteries Company Is an ac-
complished fact. 1t adds:
This is official. coming directly from
Mr.. John r. Dos Passos and Mr.. Tap
scott. who have been the promoters of
the affair. ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co.
and J. w. Seligman & Co. comprise the
money power behind it. Mr.. Dos Passos
said that all the potteries. both table
ware and sanitary, are in the deal. ex-
cept thre or four: and while he did not
say outright that these would eventu-
ally come in, it Is figured that in time
they will. He further stated that it
would be the. policy of the company to
work in the interest Of the jobbers,
and protect them. He,also said that
some harmonious arrangement would
be arrived at with the English impor-
tiers. Subscription books were opened
Wednesday afternoon by the Guaranty
Trust Company Two of the most i'm
portant banking houses in Wall street
headed the subscription. and the stock
Is being heavily subscribed for by the
potters themselves. The report that
there were dissatisfied concerns is abso-
lutely untrue, because there is no
money to be paid to any of them before
the first of April.
The capitalization OF the American
Potteries Company will be $40 1000, 900. to
be divided equally between common

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Consultations and Humors of Con-
solicitations The National Steel

The Iron Trade in Turmoil Over
Consultations and Eumors of Con-
solicitations The National Steel
Company.
In Its review Of trade conditions, the
Iron Age, foremost iron trade author
lily. says this week:
1.-THE iron trade IS In a turmoil over
the reports CT further developments in
the consolidation of steel interests. and
moderate basis OF fact has served as
the foundation for, "A wonderful super
structure of fiction. The consolidation
OF the leading producers OF soft steel
outside OF the Chicago and Pittsburgh
districts has made such Roadway that
the principal features OF the new Ma
tional Steel Company are pretty we'll
settled. There Is some uncertainty as
yet about the Oliver ore and coke in
terests which seem fundamental for
the new enterprise. There can be lit
tie doubt that very comprehensive plans
as 10 the control OF the steel trade are
under consideration, but the probabili-
ties are decidedly that the leading
Pittsburgh interest will not be included
In the consolidation. Even without any
such accession. to the ranks, the steel
trade of the Central West is now con-
centrated in very few hands, while some
lines OF finished products. like steel
rails, tin plate and wire, are under
complete control. The billet market is
now restricted to companies who may
be numbered on the fingers OF ones
hand.
The rush for material continues in
all quarters. and prices are advancing.
except in Isolated cases, like In hoops,
in which a Standard OIL contract for
about 5000 tons was taken at a very low
figure.
'Bessemer pig and gray forge have
advanced In the Central West to Sll
FOR the former. and so % for the latter,
under moderate sales. In the East,
Philadelphia notes further advance of
% cents on foundry irons.
The billet market Is strong. but is
naturally much unsettled as 10 prices by
the consolidation movement.
Steel rails have been advanced to
$40 by the Chicago and Pittsburgh COM
panles, while the Eastern mills are now
quoting $50. There have been some
sales, among them being one lot of TO-
600 tons for Nova Scotia. under some
what peculiar circumstances.
Additional tonnage is pressing on
the plate market. which is overloaded
with work. East and West. Thus
Chicago consumer has been endearor-
ing to purchase lot of 1000 tons from
Eastern mills.
In the wire nail trade further ad-
vances have been made. nails and wire
being put I'D 81 per ton and barb wire Sc
per ton. We understand that the
leading company has recently taken
some very large orders for export.
among them n record breaker for South
Africa.
THE tube and pipe consolidation Is
reported TO have met with some obsta-
cles both in Pittsburgh and among the
Eastern holders Of one Of the large
plants"

THREE COLD DAYS.

SO far there is no relief from the ter
rifle cold wave in which this section OF
the country is struggling Yesterday
morning the Schnepf thermometer re-
corded 10 degrees below zero, which is
the lowest temperature Weather Oh
server Schnepf has chronicled at any
time in his quarter century of weather
observing. AL cold weather records for
this section of the country are broken.
though there are some who claim that
New Years day of 1863 was equally as
cold. However. there are no figures to
confirm the statement
In more exposed locations. much lower
temperature was recorded Friday morn
ing, as for instance at FaIrpoint, over
IN Belmont county, where Mr. W. L.
Patton reports his thermometer showed
IS degrees below zero yesterday morning
at O'Clock. Another very cold com
munity was Tradelphia, where 81 de-
srees below was chronicled. Some of
this wide difference is doubtless caused
by inaccurate thermometers, but most
Is explained by the more exposed loca-
tons
fortunately there was Il considerable
rise IN the temperature as the day ad-
Vanced. helped along by the sun, which
saone from clear sky during part o.
the day The highest temperature o:
tile day was reached at 5 p. m, de-
nj -f,f-
GreeS warmer than the highest temper
allure recorded on Thursday, which was
zero. Shortly after O'clock the weather
became colder. At p. n. It was . be-
low: at 10 the mercury was at below,
and an hour later it had reached 6 be-
low. At midnight 1t was below, and
at a. NJ. below was shown.
Again the community was fortunate
In several respects. among other things
that no fatalities on account of the
cold We're reported. and that the natural
gas supply remained adequate to the
very large demands made upon the
company bS the public. The WheelInS
company was able 10 furnish plenty of

Reports from the surrounding country
are TO the effect that there has been
considerable loss OF life among live
stock. owing TO the extreme cold wealth
er. No estimate OF this loss can be made
at this time. Sheep are said to have
suffered most.
All the coal dealers were besiesed BY
hurry up orders for fuel. So far there
is no scarcity OF coal, but the consunp-
ton on Thursday and Friday exceeded
