IRON AND STEEL
Increase of Exports and Falling Off
 of Imports.


 No other feature of the wonderful success of American manufacturers in foreign markets has been quite so wonderful as that pertaining to iron and steel. While the exportat:on of manufacturers in the fiscal year 1899 is likely to snow an increase of more than $30,000,00 over that of last year, that of iron and steel alone will sup ply more than one-half that increase. the eight months Of the fscaT year for which the treasury bureau of sta- t1stlcs figures are now available, the exports of iron and steel are nearly 5000, ,000 greater than in the cor responding months of the preceding fiscal year, and show a gain Of 36 per cent over those Of last year, and nearly 70 per cent over those of the preced- ing year. In importations of iron and steel there is a reduction as compared with last year, though not in so mark ed degree, the falling off in imports for the months being but 10 per cent, while the corresponding period of last year showed q reduction of 20 per cent.
 The following figures show the im- ports and exports of manufacturers of iron and steel in the months ending with February in each of the last three fiscal years: Fiscal year. Imports. Exports. s mos, 1897 $10,517,5 ,588 $3o, ,7S1, ,8Og
 1898 S,397,977 42,864, ,262
 
 Nearly all of the great classes of iron hnd steel manufactures show an increase over last year. Exports of wire nails, of which the exportation in 8 months of the fiscal year 1897 were 16,138,325 pounds, in months of 1898 were 2S,697,735 pounds; exports of bars or rods of steel increased from IS, ,720,79 pounds to 37,7OS,4 442 pounds: steel plates and sheets, from 13,523,- 675 pounds to 64,7S4,626 pounds, and wire from S0,O56,29 pounds to 126,- S5S, ,949 pounds.
 Railway engines show an increase of nearly 50 per cent the value Of those exported in the 8 months of this fiscal year being $317S,642, against $2,260,570 in the correspond ing months Of last year, and $1,958. PTS in the same months Of the preceding year, and in exports of electrical and metal working machinery an equally large increase is apparent.
 While a comparison of the exports of the 8 months of the present fiscal year with corresponding months of the two earlier years shows a marked gain and is therefore interesting, better view of the real progress of the iron and steel industry is obtained by a comparison of the imports and ex- ports for a term of years. An exami- nation of the figures of the imports and experts of iron and steel and the manufactures thereof fromI 1880 to 1898 shows that the imports are now but one-f1fth what they were in 1880. while the exports are five times what they were in that year. Thus the American manufacturers, besides oc- cupy.ng four -fifths of the field which foreign manufacturers were then sup plying, have at the same time incqeas- ed their expectations 400 per cent.

COLD SPELL CONTINUES.
Rivers About Pittsburg are Eroze1
Tight as a Mill Race.

PITTSBURG Pa.), Feb. 11-Never
in the history of navigation has the
situation in Pittsburg river affairs
been so critical as now. After three
days of the coolest weather ever known
in this section of the country, the riv-
ers are frozen as tight as a mill race.
Many tows are stranded helplessly at
dangerous points along the Ohio. Sew
eral tugs have lost parts of their tows
and are aground, while one, the Fred
Wilson, is lying in eight feet of water.
Altogether there are about 5000 600
tons of coal af1oat between Pittsburg
and Louisville.
To these conditions add the fact of
almost an unprecedented accumulation
of snow in the watersheds of the
Monongahela and Allegheny, and it be-
comes apparent that the inevitable up

An Ice Yacht Runaway.

Some years ago there was runaway
down at Shelter Island, in which q
young girl was left in the boat with
gale blowing. She tried to throw the
sheet loose, but it was frozen, and her
fingers were too cold, added to which
the sheet had fouled the tiller, and she
could not bring the boat up into the
wind to stop it's way. the sail being so
set that the boat continued running
right along at terrific rate Of speed
Occupants Of the other boats soon real
ized the position and made chase gain
ing but slowly, one boat finally being
far in the lead of the others by the
time the end Of the island was left be-.
hind. Right in front lay the end of the.
ice, broken short by the action of the
t:dewater, and there the breakerSt
rolled in, throwing up the anchor ices3
dashing it down, and then retreating,f
sucking it under the foe and packings
! il up for another break. For some
time it was a question as to whether-
| the chasing boat would catch up with
the girl before she was carried over
the edge to certain death. But at last
the beats came together for one brief
second the girl was snatched by strong
arms to the pursuers yacht, the sheet
was eased off in a flash, and, spinning
around i'm it's own length, was set right
before the wind instead of reaching
into it, just as the runaway dashed
over into the anchor ice. A short, sharp
crack gave notice of the parting of the
ice beneath the very runners of the
now homeward bound savior. and with
long stagger, which only her speed
enabled her to withstand, she dashed
across the fast opening crack, safe, to
be brought up into the wind at a dis
tance, while the late runaway danced,
a wreck, amongl the broken ice. 1t was

Such an Interpretation could not have

customs valuations at New York. But
with the feeling of irritation abroad,
they must be doubly careful not to

And irritation, the speaker pointed
out. prevails especially in the economic
sphere. A n-European tariff coali-
ton against the United States was not
feasible, but eventually Germany would
be forced to adopt an autonomist
tariff
DR.. Leiber said he had expected that
the uneasiness caused by political ru-
mors, particularly in connection with
the Philippines, must be allowed to an
swer to the Interpolation, and he there
fore requested the Minister of Foreign
Affairs to make a further statement
regarding the political relations be-
