The iron and steel trade is looking up
and the prospects for 1901 are promising.
Leading iron and steel interests state
that all trade indications point toward
record breaking business in the coming
year, and in consequence good market
judges look for better prices for the iron
and steel shares. The prediction has been
made that the preferred shares of the
representative companies will sell at par
early in 1901. Federal Steel preferred is
on a sound investment basis. and so is
Republic Steel preferred. The last-named
stock has not yet attracted the attention
CT spectators. but il is being quietly alb
sorbed by investors. Good industrial
shares will sell higher because they are
at present unnaturally depressed, and be-
cause their actual value is increasing.
The ordering of new cars is safe indica-
ticn of railway prosperity. Statements
from the American Car and Foundry Com
paBy show that all the railroads of the
country are in the market for new rolling
stock orders involving thousands of cars
coming in daily. The railroads have not
been adding much to their mileage in the
last few years. The country, however,
has grown up to the mileage and the roads
have been forced to spend millions of dol
lars on rolling stock in order to handle
the country's prosperity.

Traffic managers of most of the rail-
roads operating between New Yo-k and
the Mississippi River agree that the year
just closing has been productive of the
best results ever experienced by the rail-
roads in the United States in any one
year. Each railroad has had all the busi-
ness that it could handle, and with the
exception of a few unimportant instances,
each road has received full tariff rates
for its traffic. This one fact of the main
tenance of regular rates has increased
the aggregate of net earnings of the trunk
lines by not less than 3,000, 900. Every
railroad influenced by the authority end
example of the Vanderbilt Morgan Penn
sylvania Railroad alliance has realized
larger profits than ever before. That these
increased profits have not been distrib-
uted in extra dividends Is readily account
ed for by the enormous expenditures that
have been made out of current income
for betterments and new equipment. The
amount of money applied directly from
earnings to the improvement of railroad
property within the past year is unpre-
cedented. The extraordinary volume of
traffic developed by the generally pros
porous business conditions throughout The
country has made it necessary for every
railroad company to spend larger sums
than usual in increasing its transporta-
tion facilities.

| Washington, MAY 16.-The officials
of the war department, after waiting
for nearly a week to hear something
from General Macarthur at Manila,
contirmatory OF the press report OF
the three days bloody battle at
Catubig, which resulted in the heavi
est loss of life that the American
| army has sustained in any one ell
gagement in the Philippines, yester-
day cabled General Macarthur a
request for information.
The answer was received to-day
confirming the press reports, and
adding some interesting details Gen
Macarthur Transmitted a report
from Henry T. Allen, a major OF the
FOrty-third Volunteers. who com
manded the United States troops at
the island of Samar.
1t appears that the force was divid-
ed among several ports on Samar,
and, while details are still lacking. it
is believed that this particular force,
which was attacked at Catubig, was
commanded not by a commissioned
officer, but by a sergeant, either
George or Hall, both of whom were
killed.
