near future, however, unless prompt remedial
measures are resorted to.
The intimacy of the iron and steel industries
to other kinds Of business is without q parallel.
This is an age of iron. That metal is required
by the builder of railways. bridges. ships and
modern office structures and shops. 1t is needed
by the maker of machine tools, textile and agri-
cultural machinery, many forms OF vehicle and
all sorts of hardware. The consumption in
creases much more rapidly than the population,
and this change in ratio promises to continue
for years. But 1t is a singular and highly ex-
ccptionaI fact that while enough of other
staples-umber, stone. brick. coal, cotton and
wool, for instance-to last for year or two
are either in sight or are readily accessible to
the producer there has not been more than a
twenty-three days supply of pig iron ahead for
more than ten years Hence when business
picks up and demand sets in the buyer of iron
becomes alarmed lest he fail altogether to OBJ
tain what he wants. Thus a more rapid and
abnormal advance takes place in prices than is
possible with any other commodity. After the
boom begins the manufacturer runs on old con
tracts for time. OF course, he gets orders at
new prices, too. But as soon as there Is
conspicuous advance number of business en-
terprises come to a standstill, waiting for a
reaction. And even a moderate concession fails
tries begin to experience paralysis Inasmuch
as the temporarily improved demand has led
the manufacturer of pig iron to enlarge his
plant and output. the decline in prices leaves
him In a bad predicament These violent and
wholly unnecessary fluctuations in prices
(which we call 'bOOms,' says Mr.. Hull, dis
"turb all business but their greatest injury is
''to the pig iron producer"
The remedy which this writer offers for the
evil is much larger accumulation of iron than
has ever before been available. This should be
equal 20 the production of several months, and
should not be confined to one country. The
reserve would act like the fywheel of a steam
engine. substituting comparative uniformity in
prices for wild variations. And, though the
present period of depression really began
months ago, Mr.. Hull thinks that disastrous
results in the near future might he averted if
steps were taken Immediately to adopt his plan

But Americans must not count on continua-

moreover. that the South African colonies will
be induced TO give Great Britain preferential
tariff as Canada has done. Therefore, If the
United States is to increase its exports to South
Africa, not to speak of retaining its present
trade its merchants and manufacturers must
go into the contest with energy and ntelli-
gence. If they do so they will easily be able to
hold their own, even though the colonies should
give Great Britain preferential tariff, which
they are not sure to do
