CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago News Qnd) saysE 1.-THE
French press is trying to draw parallels
between the Dreyfus and Carter cases,
making the firmness Of President McKin-
ley compare wi h the len:ency of President
Loubet IN manner highly disparaging 10
the latter. TO make the comparison abso-
lutely just the critics should imagine what
mighr have happened had the two cases
been reversed IN their location. Would not
Mckinney have promptly pardoned Drey-
fus? And would not LoubeI have affirmed
the sentence of Capt. Carter? Brief con-
sidera ion on these lines may cast a new
light upon the earnest Frenchmen."

basis OF SS at the mill but the billets from which
me rails are made cannot be bought for less than

entirely satisfactory and this applies with equal
force TO the hardwood, white pine and hemlock
markets. As many of you know. the only difficulty
lust now In the hardwood market is to get

J. j. White-Do you think iron can be held at
present prices?
Mr.. Barns-I do not look for any material change
within year. Favorite customers anxious to
place orders at present prices for deliveries extend
Ing into next year. 1t is fact that considerable
number of foundries in the country are compelled
70 shut down from one 20 two days week, simply
because they cannot get raw material. OF course,
there Will be an increased output Of ore next year
New furnaces and old will be put In blast.
The freight carrying capacity of the lakes Will be
increased, but this will not materially affect the
price At this time IL does not look as though iron
would be much lower in 1900 than II IS now.
