35.OOO.OOO DIARIOS

Ell popular peri6dico Morning Lea

que hemos recibido, preve que, una
vez terminada la lucha, tendra que
veneer Inglaterra grandes difcultades
para normalizar la situacion en- ell Sur
de Africa y Obtener fondos de los pue,
bios de esa region.
La cuenta que sera precise pagar,
ha de ser espantosa. En- 30 milloneS
de pesetas calcnla ell peri6dico mencio
nado ell gasto diario del ej6rcito que
opera contra los "boers".
Gree aquel que la Oolonia del Natal
Sc negara a contribuir sufragar parte
de los gastos probablemente, tratando
de obligar ALA del Cabo apagarla mayor
cuantfa de los desembolsos hechos por
ell Tesoro ingl6s, y que en- tai case los
afrikanders no tardaran en- mani
festar su disgusto.
Ademas 81 Sc desatienden las recla-
maciones de los colonos ingleses del
Natal, deSeOsos de que Sc prive de los
derechos polfticos q los "boers" de las
rep1blicas -africanas, aqu6llos son
capaces de negarse q pagar la deuda
pdblica y complicaran en- alto grado la
situaci0n.
Aun cuando sean realmente los po.

hechos y no por nuestra culpa.

su cumplimiento en- ell porvenir.
DE las palabras Y tratos de lnglate-

Statement of President Gary of the
Federal Steel Co.

President Gary, of the Federal Steel
Company, says: Il have never sug-
gested to any director, or to any one
else, the ACCESSIBILITY OF shutting down
any of the mills of any of the con-
stituent companies of the Federal Steel
Company. A sufficient tonnage has
been booked to keep our mills running
full for five or six months from the
present time. There has been no ma
terial change in any of the lines OF our
business. Whether or not the action of
the wire company will interfere with
the iron and steel business generally,
| do not undertake to predict. The
wire company has been purchaser OF
steel billets and steel reds from some
of our companies, and at the present
time have contracts for about s., 900 or
so 600 tons not yet delivered. If the de-
liveries on these contracts shall be
postponed it will TO some extent inter-
fere with the running Of the rod mill
of the Illinois Steel Company at Joliet:
but that is comparatively small part
of our business.
From the statements which have
heen published concerning the business
OF the wire company, IL seems 10 me
the trouble arises from the fact that
the wire company are carrying large
finished product, which ordinarily at
this season of the year is in possession
of the jobbers. Possibly this condition
arises from the fact that the jobbers
have believed prices were rather high.
While I do not undertake to express
an opinion as to the future. have seen
nothing in our lines of business up to
the present time that is at all discour-
aging. Our business and earnings for
the year up TO the present time have
been satisfactory. and much better than
our previous expectations ! doubt ii
the managers Of the iron and steel in
dustries generally coincide with the
pessimistic expressions which are said
to have emanated from the wire COM
pany.

Steel and Wire Company's Manipula-

ton.
A Pittsburg special to the Philadel-
phia Press says: 1T is learned that a
few weeks ago the Wire Trust notified
the National Steel Company that hoop
mill in opposition to the Hoop Trust,
the American Steel Hoop Company.
would be started at the Cleveland roll
ing MILL which is controlled by the
Wire Trust. The alternative offered
was that the National Steel Company
sell to the Wire Trust $4,000 tons of
steel billets at $50 per ton. The Ma
tional Steel Company is closely allied
to the Hoop Trust and to save the
latter from the threatened competition,
the billets were given to the Wire
Trust at the price demanded. lmme-
diately the Wire Trust people tele-
graphed to the Carnegie Company. say
ing that it had bought $4,000 tons of
bikets at $50, and asking if the Car
pegie Company would duplicate the
sale at the same figures. The Carnegie
Company tersely declined the PROPOSE
ton" The Press declares that the
shutting down of the American Steel
& Wire Company mills was really due
to a shortage of raw material.
