American manufactures are selling to the
outside world over a hundred million dol
lars worth of iron and steel in the caleu-
dar year 1899, or twenty million dollars in
excess of any earlier year in their history.
The October statement of exports Of manu-
features of iron and steel just completed
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. shows
for the month of October an increase of
over $2,000000 as compared with October
Of last year, and for the ten months an in
crease of almost $50, ,O00, 900 as compared
with the corresponding months Of last year
The October figures Of exports of iron and
steel and manufactures thereof are $685.
45S, against $7,299, ,1S5 in October of last
year, and for the ten months ending with
October, $50, 1862, ,25S, against SCI, ,29O5G0 in
the corresponding months of last year.
Both in price and quantity the figures
of the export trade show an increase, and
in practically every article and class of
articles. Bar iron, for instance. shows an
increase of nearly 100 per cent in guam
tity exported in 1899 as compared with 1885;
bars or rods of steel, an increase of 80 per
cent; wire rods Of steel show an increase OF
25 per cent; steel sheets and plates, an in
crease Of over 100 per cent, and wire nails
an increase in round terms of 200 per cent
in quantity.
1t is thus apparent that the frequently
expressed belief that the increase in prices
of iron and steel and manufactures there
of in the United States would cause an inn
mediate and plainly perceptible decrease in
American expectations was not justified.
The corresponding rise in prices in other
parts of the world and the continued in-
crease in demand for products and manu-
factures OF this character fully offset the
| increased prices and increased demand at
home; and this combination of an unusual
| demand from the home and foreign markets
upon American manufacturers readily ac-
| counts for the frequent reports of shortage
on supplies of material and inability 10
| promptly fill all orders received.
| The following shows tne expectation OF
| the principal articles of iron and steel in
| which it is practicable to indicate the ex-
/ portation in terms of weight, by the use

One OF the iron and steel companies has
just closed a contract to sell pig iron at
$25 a ton for immediate delivery. This is
probably the highest price for pig iron in
the last twenty years. This company. and
in fact nearly all OF them are working
double shifts night and day The earnings
OF the steel and iron properties OF the coun-
try are again attracting the attention OF
spectators and investors. The common
issues Of the recently formed corporations
operating in this field have been neglected
in the stock market, partly due TO the re-
fusal OF lenders to carry any considerable
blocks OF these stocks in loans. Now that
divided periods for many OF these common
shares are drawing near at hand, lenders
appear more willing TO accept them as col
lateral, and in consequence speculative in

FIGHTING THE SALT TRUST,
Members of the Combine Refuse to

POMEROY. Ohio, Nov 26.-Yesterday
was the second day of taking testimony in
the cases of the State against the Salt
Trust. As upon the preceding day, the
local salt producers refused to answer the
leading questions proposed by the Attorney
General which might criminate them. They
fear criminal proceedings under the statute
which makes them liable TO fine of from
$50 to s., 600 day for each day they re-
main in the combine.
A clause in one Of the contracts eX-
hibited by the Attorney General says that
the dead rental shall continue even

Pacific TO the bankers syndicate headed
by Speyer & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb Co,

don promises to lead to many improve
ments and economies in the management
of the property. Rumors are current in
Wall Street of some very important
changes in the directory Representa-
tiyes on the board for the CTocker and the
Stanford interests will undoubtedly re-
tire their places being taken by directors
who will be selected by the others now in
control of the property. The earnings Of
the road show very pronounced gains.
Economies in operation which have been
put in force have increased the net in
greater proportion than the gross income.
Looking forward to the possibilities for
profits TO the bankers from refunding ope-
rations there are few roads in the cOun-
try which present better possibilities than
the Southern Pacific. 1t is estimated that
during the next six years upward of S50,
600 900 in and 6 per cent bonds can be
refunded into lower interest bearing Sc
curities. On the basis of the net income
of July and August, which amounted TO
/ Sc. .945, 1874, it is estimated that the net in
come for the year will approximate S24,
O0O, 600, which will give as a surplus ap-
plicable to dividends about $11, 500, 900. This
will be equal to 5 1-2 per cent on the en-

rumor current to account for this great
strength in the stock is that there is a
heavy short interest which is being forced

pany is considering the proposition to unity
the capital stock, making only one issue Of
it with no limit on its dividend. Little
attention is paid to his latter story by peo-
pie familiar with the company and its off,
GERS. The most easy and perhaps the most
satisfactory explanation of the strength
of the Baltimore and Ohio issues is that
the clique considered the present an op-

remembered that these stocks have not
