A DROP.

Diamond state steel Company
say that they know nothing in
regard to the reported drop of S.
per ton in steel. The only bas is
this report is that steel bars which
were held by a strong Western
combination, and which have been
selling beyond parity with plates
and other products, have been cut
down in something like a fair
proportion, although they are still
his h compared with plates.
A decline in biilets is believed to
be imminent, as they are altogether
too high compared with other
articles; but in the meanwhile the
only definite action that has been

VIEWS OF A LONDON STRATEGIST.
SPENSER WILKINSON ON THE SITUATION
IN SOUTH AFRICA.

London. March 4-Spenser Wilkinson. review
ing the situation IN South Africa at midnight
says:
The victories of Tuesday have put the cam
paign straight, from the British point OF view
The important matters were the defeat OF
CrOnje and the destruction Of a part OF his
force, and the defeat of the BOer army in Natal
both of which were effected on Tuesday The
relief OF the besieged town followed a mat
ter OF course upon the retreat OF the besiegtng
forces. The raising Of the siege OF Ladysmith
was, OF course. a vital matter for the British
army. 1t was the result of General Buffers con-
tlnuous fighting, coupled with Lord Roberts, in
vasion OF the Free State.
General Butler seems TO have been surprised
10 find that he had beaten the Beers on Tues
day. Nothing Is cOmmoner in war than for
army, after hard fighting. TO he doubtful of the
extent Of its success. New generals learn,
Grant did in his first command, that the enemy
much frightened of me as / was OF him"
The question now is as TO the future course OF
events. There cannot be much doubt TO the
issue provided no foreign Power or Powers in
terfere. Lord Roberts either order General
